Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the All Asset Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
The Portfolio is a “fund of funds,” which is a term used to describe mutual funds that pursue their investment objective by investing in other mutual funds instead of investing directly in stocks or bonds of other issuers. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests substantially all of its assets in Institutional Class shares of PIMCO Funds, an affiliated open-end investment company, except the All Asset and All Asset All Authority Funds (“Underlying Funds”).
Among the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio are allocation risk, Underlying Fund risk and issuer non-diversification risk. The Portfolio also is indirectly subject to the risks of the Underlying Funds, which may include, but are not limited to, the following: interest rate risk, credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, variable dividends risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, commodity risk, equity risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, real estate risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk, small company risk, management risk, California state-specific risk, New York state-specific risk, tax risk, and subsidiary risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. An Underlying Fund 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 the Underlying Fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. An Underlying Fund investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. An Underlying Fund’s investment in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be increased when investing in emerging markets.
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. By investing in the Portfolio, an investor will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the Underlying Funds in addition to the Portfolio’s direct fees and expenses.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class, Advisor Class and Class M 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

* Cumulative return.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Lehman Brothers U.S. TIPS: 1-10 Year Index is an unmanaged index comprised of U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities having a maturity of at least 1 year and less than 10 years. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.
±± CPI + 500 Basis Points benchmark is created by adding 5% to the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). This index reflects non-seasonally adjusted returns. The CPI is an unmanaged index representing the rate of inflation of the U.S. consumer prices as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. There can be no guarantee that the CPI or other indices will reflect the exact level of inflation at any given time. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

Expenses Paid During Period† | | $ | 2.89 | | $ | 2.88 |
† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Administrative Class annualized expense ratio of 0.575%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The expense ratio excludes the expenses of the Underlying 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 are currently capped at 0.64%. Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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, an affiliated open-end investment company, except the PIMCO All Asset and PIMCO All Asset All Authority Funds. |
» | | Significant exposure to short-term strategies, particularly through the PIMCO Floating Income Fund, contributed to performance as the PIMCO Floating Income Fund returned 2.62% net of fees during the period. |
» | | Although any exposure to Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) would detract from performance, as the Dow Jones Wilshire REIT Index returned -5.97% during the period, negligible exposure was a positive asset allocation decision. |
» | | Exposure to equity strategies benefited performance due to strong returns domestically and internationally. However, reduced equity exposure in the Portfolio was not a positive asset allocation decision. |
» | | Large exposure to developing local market bonds contributed to performance as the asset class benefited from continued capital inflows and strong economic fundamentals. |
» | | Large exposure to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) detracted from performance as real yields rose. |
» | | Minimal exposure to convertibles detracted from returns as the asset class had positive performance. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers four classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative, Advisor, and Class M. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class, Advisor Class and Class M 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 may invest a portion of its assets in certain affiliated underlying investment funds (the “Underlying Funds” or “Acquired Funds”). The Portfolio’s combined investments in the Fundamental IndexPLUS™, Fundamental IndexPLUS™ TR, International StocksPLUS® TR Strategy (U.S. Dollar-Hedged), International StocksPLUS® TR Strategy (Unhedged), Small Cap StocksPLUS® TR, StocksPLUS® and StocksPLUS® Total Return Funds normally will not exceed 50% of its total assets. In addition, the Portfolio’s combined investments in the CommodityRealReturn Strategy, Real Return, Real Return Asset and RealEstateRealReturn Strategy Funds normally will not exceed 75% of its total assets. The Portfolio’s investment in a particular Underlying Fund normally will not exceed 50% of its total assets.
The Portfolio’s assets are not allocated according to a predetermined blend of shares of the Underlying Funds. Instead, when making allocation decisions among the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio’s asset allocation sub-adviser considers various quantitative and qualitative data relating to the U.S. and foreign economies and securities markets. These data include projected growth trends in the U.S. and foreign economies, forecasts for interest rates and the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (yield curve), current and projected trends in inflation, relative valuation levels in the equity and fixed income markets and various industrial sectors, information relating to business cycles, borrowing needs and the cost of capital, political trends data relating to trade balances and labor information. The Portfolio’s asset allocation sub-adviser has the flexibility to reallocate the Portfolio’s assets among any or all of the Underlying Funds based on its ongoing analyses of the equity, fixed income and commodity markets, although these shifts are not expected to be large or frequent in nature. The Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may concentrate its assets in a smaller number of Underlying Funds than a diversified fund.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Investments in funds within the PIMCO Funds are valued at their net asset value as reported by the Underlying Funds.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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.
(c) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(d) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(e) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(f) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of
| | | | |
10 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.175%.
Research Affiliates, LLC (“Research Affiliates”) serves as the asset allocation sub-adviser and selects the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests. PIMCO pays a fee to Research Affiliates at an annual rate of 0.175% based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted separate Distribution Plans for the Advisor Class and Class M shares of the Portfolio. The Distribution Plans have been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Distribution Plans permit payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class and Class M shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class and Class M shareholders which permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class and Class M shares. The Trust has also adopted Administrative Services Plans (“Service Plans”) for the Class M shares of the Portfolio. The Service Plans allows the
Portfolio to use its Class M assets to compensate or reimburse financial intermediaries that provide services relating to Class M shares which permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.20% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Class M shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
(e) Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses The Underlying Fund Expenses for the Portfolio are based upon an allocation of the Portfolio’s assets among the Underlying Funds and upon the total annual operating expenses of the Institutional Class shares of these Underlying Funds. Underlying Fund Expenses will vary with changes in the expenses of the Underlying Funds, as well as allocation of the Portfolio’s assets.
PIMCO has contractually agreed, for the Portfolio’s current fiscal year, to reduce its advisory fee to the extent that the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses attributable to advisory and administrative fees exceed 0.64% of the total assets invested in Underlying Funds. The waiver is reflected in the Statement of Operations as a component of Reimbursement by Manager. For the period ended June 30, 2007, the amount was $45,332. PIMCO may recoup these waivers in future periods, not exceeding three years, provided total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expense limit. As of June 30, 2007, the recoverable amount to the Administrator was $81,026.

5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the
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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed.
Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action
plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
9. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
To the extent the Portfolio invests in the CommodityRealReturn Strategy Fund® (the “CRRS Fund”), an Underlying Fund, this Portfolio may be subject to additional tax risk.
One of the requirements for favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company under the Code is that the Fund derive at least 90% of its gross income from certain qualifying sources of income. The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity index-linked swaps is not qualifying income under Subchapter M of the Code. Subsequently, the IRS issued a private letter ruling to the CRRS Fund in which the IRS specifically concluded that income from certain commodity index-linked notes is qualifying income. In addition, the IRS issued another private letter ruling to the CRRS Fund in which the IRS specifically concluded that income derived from the CRRS Fund’s investment in
the Subsidiary, which invests primarily in commodity index-linked swaps, will also constitute qualifying income to the CRRS Fund. Based on such rulings, the CRRS Fund will continue to seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in commodity-linked notes and through investments in its subsidiary.
Please refer to the prospectus for the Separate Account and Variable Contract for information regarding federal income tax treatment of distributions to the Separate Account.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$ 14,251 | | $ (7,424) | | $ 6,827 |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the All Asset Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
The Portfolio is a “fund of funds,” which is a term used to describe mutual funds that pursue their investment objective by investing in other mutual funds instead of investing directly in stocks or bonds of other issuers. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests substantially all of its assets in Institutional Class shares of PIMCO Funds, an affiliated open-end investment company, except the All Asset and All Asset All Authority Funds (“Underlying Funds”).
Among the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio are allocation risk, Underlying Fund risk and issuer non-diversification risk. The Portfolio also is indirectly subject to the risks of the Underlying Funds, which may include, but are not limited to, the following: interest rate risk, credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, variable dividends risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, commodity risk, equity risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, real estate risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk, small company risk, management risk, California state-specific risk, New York state-specific risk, tax risk, and subsidiary risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. An Underlying Fund 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 the Underlying Fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. An Underlying Fund investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. An Underlying Fund’s investment in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be increased when investing in emerging markets.
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. By investing in the Portfolio, an investor will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the Underlying Funds in addition to the Portfolio’s direct fees and expenses.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class, Advisor Class and Class M 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

* Cumulative return.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Lehman Brothers U.S. TIPS: 1-10 Year Index is an unmanaged index comprised of U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities having a maturity of at least 1 year and less than 10 years. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.
±± CPI + 500 Basis Points benchmark is created by adding 5% to the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). This index reflects non-seasonally adjusted returns. The CPI is an unmanaged index representing the rate of inflation of the U.S. consumer prices as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. There can be no guarantee that the CPI or other indices will reflect the exact level of inflation at any given time. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Institutional Class annualized expense ratio of 0.425%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The expense ratio excludes the expenses of the Underlying 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 are currently capped at 0.64%. Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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, an affiliated open-end investment company, except the PIMCO All Asset and PIMCO All Asset All Authority Funds. |
» | | Significant exposure to short-term strategies, particularly through the PIMCO Floating Income Fund, contributed to performance as the PIMCO Floating Income Fund returned 2.62% net of fees during the period. |
» | | Although any exposure to Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) would detract from performance, as the Dow Jones Wilshire REIT Index returned -5.97% during the period, negligible exposure was a positive asset allocation decision. |
» | | Exposure to equity strategies benefited performance due to strong returns domestically and internationally. However, reduced equity exposure in the Portfolio was not a positive asset allocation decision. |
» | | Large exposure to developing local market bonds contributed to performance as the asset class benefited from continued capital inflows and strong economic fundamentals. |
» | | Large exposure to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) detracted from performance as real yields rose. |
» | | Minimal exposure to convertibles detracted from returns as the asset class had positive performance. |

(c) Effective October 1, 2006, the advisory fee was reduced to 0.175%.
(d) If the investment manager had not reimbursed expenses, the ratio of expenses to average net assets would have been 0.435%.

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers four classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative, Advisor, and Class M. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class, Advisor Class and Class M 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 may invest a portion of its assets in certain affiliated underlying investment funds (the “Underlying Funds” or “Acquired Funds”). The Portfolio’s combined investments in the Fundamental IndexPLUS™, Fundamental IndexPLUS™ TR, International StocksPLUS® TR Strategy (U.S. Dollar-Hedged), International StocksPLUS® TR Strategy (Unhedged), Small Cap StocksPLUS® TR, StocksPLUS® and StocksPLUS® Total Return Funds normally will not exceed 50% of its total assets. In addition, the Portfolio’s combined investments in the CommodityRealReturn Strategy, Real Return, Real Return Asset and RealEstateRealReturn Strategy Funds normally will not exceed 75% of its total assets. The Portfolio’s investment in a particular Underlying Fund normally will not exceed 50% of its total assets.
The Portfolio’s assets are not allocated according to a predetermined blend of shares of the Underlying Funds. Instead, when making allocation decisions among the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio’s asset allocation sub-adviser considers various quantitative and qualitative data relating to the U.S. and foreign economies and securities markets. These data include projected growth trends in the U.S. and foreign economies, forecasts for interest rates and the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (yield curve), current and projected trends in inflation, relative valuation levels in the equity and fixed income markets and various industrial sectors, information relating to business cycles, borrowing needs and the cost of capital, political trends data relating to trade balances and labor information. The Portfolio’s asset allocation sub-adviser has the flexibility to reallocate the Portfolio’s assets among any or all of the Underlying Funds based on its ongoing analyses of the equity, fixed income and commodity markets, although these shifts are not expected to be large or frequent in nature. The Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may concentrate its assets in a smaller number of Underlying Funds than a diversified fund.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Investments in funds within the PIMCO Funds are valued at their net asset value as reported by the Underlying Funds.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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.
(c) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(d) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(e) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(f) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of
| | | | |
10 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.175%.
Research Affiliates, LLC (“Research Affiliates”) serves as the asset allocation sub-adviser and selects the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests. PIMCO pays a fee to Research Affiliates at an annual rate of 0.175% based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted separate Distribution Plans for the Advisor Class and Class M shares of the Portfolio. The Distribution Plans have been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Distribution Plans permit payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class and Class M shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class and Class M shareholders which permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class and Class M shares. The Trust has also adopted Administrative Services Plans (“Service Plans”) for the Class M shares of the Portfolio. The Service Plans allows the
Portfolio to use its Class M assets to compensate or reimburse financial intermediaries that provide services relating to Class M shares which permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.20% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Class M shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
(e) Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses The Underlying Fund Expenses for the Portfolio are based upon an allocation of the Portfolio’s assets among the Underlying Funds and upon the total annual operating expenses of the Institutional Class shares of these Underlying Funds. Underlying Fund Expenses will vary with changes in the expenses of the Underlying Funds, as well as allocation of the Portfolio’s assets.
PIMCO has contractually agreed, for the Portfolio’s current fiscal year, to reduce its advisory fee to the extent that the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses attributable to advisory and administrative fees exceed 0.64% of the total assets invested in Underlying Funds. The waiver is reflected in the Statement of Operations as a component of Reimbursement by Manager. For the period ended June 30, 2007, the amount was $45,332. PIMCO may recoup these waivers in future periods, not exceeding three years, provided total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expense limit. As of June 30, 2007, the recoverable amount to the Administrator was $81,026.

5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the
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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed.
Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action
plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
9. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
To the extent the Portfolio invests in the CommodityRealReturn Strategy Fund® (the “CRRS Fund”), an Underlying Fund, this Portfolio may be subject to additional tax risk.
One of the requirements for favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company under the Code is that the Fund derive at least 90% of its gross income from certain qualifying sources of income. The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity index-linked swaps is not qualifying income under Subchapter M of the Code. Subsequently, the IRS issued a private letter ruling to the CRRS Fund in which the IRS specifically concluded that income from certain commodity index-linked notes is qualifying income. In addition, the IRS issued another private letter ruling to the CRRS Fund in which the IRS specifically concluded that income derived from the CRRS Fund’s investment in
the Subsidiary, which invests primarily in commodity index-linked swaps, will also constitute qualifying income to the CRRS Fund. Based on such rulings, the CRRS Fund will continue to seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in commodity-linked notes and through investments in its subsidiary.
Please refer to the prospectus for the Separate Account and Variable Contract for information regarding federal income tax treatment of distributions to the Separate Account.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$ 14,251 | | $ (7,424) | | $ 6,827 |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the All Asset Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
The Portfolio is a “fund of funds,” which is a term used to describe mutual funds that pursue their investment objective by investing in other mutual funds instead of investing directly in stocks or bonds of other issuers. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests substantially all of its assets in Institutional Class shares of PIMCO Funds, an affiliated open-end investment company, except the All Asset and All Asset All Authority Funds (“Underlying Funds”).
Among the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio are allocation risk, Underlying Fund risk and issuer non-diversification risk. The Portfolio also is indirectly subject to the risks of the Underlying Funds, which may include, but are not limited to, the following: interest rate risk, credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, variable dividends risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, commodity risk, equity risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, real estate risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk, small company risk, management risk, California state-specific risk, New York state-specific risk, tax risk, and subsidiary risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. An Underlying Fund 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 the Underlying Fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. An Underlying Fund investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. An Underlying Fund’s investment in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be increased when investing in emerging markets.
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. By investing in the Portfolio, an investor will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the Underlying Funds in addition to the Portfolio’s direct fees and expenses.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class, Advisor Class and Class M 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

* Cumulative return.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Lehman Brothers U.S. TIPS: 1-10 Year Index is an unmanaged index comprised of U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities having a maturity of at least 1 year and less than 10 years. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.
±± CPI + 500 Basis Points benchmark is created by adding 5% to the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). This index reflects non-seasonally adjusted returns. The CPI is an unmanaged index representing the rate of inflation of the U.S. consumer prices as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. There can be no guarantee that the CPI or other indices will reflect the exact level of inflation at any given time. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

| | | | (5% return before expenses) |
Beginning Account Value (01/01/07) | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,000.00 |
Ending Account Value (06/30/07) | | $ | 1,028.78 | | $ | 1,021.45 |
Expenses Paid During Period† | | $ | 3.40 | | $ | 3.38 |
† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Advisor Class annualized expense ratio of 0.675%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The expense ratio excludes the expenses of the Underlying 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 are currently capped at 0.64%. Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.

Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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, an affiliated open-end investment company, except the PIMCO All Asset and PIMCO All Asset All Authority Funds. |
» | | Significant exposure to short-term strategies, particularly through the PIMCO Floating Income Fund, contributed to performance as the PIMCO Floating Income Fund returned 2.62% net of fees during the period. |
» | | Although any exposure to Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) would detract from performance, as the Dow Jones Wilshire REIT Index returned -5.97% during the period, negligible exposure was a positive asset allocation decision. |
» | | Exposure to equity strategies benefited performance due to strong returns domestically and internationally. However, reduced equity exposure in the Portfolio was not a positive asset allocation decision. |
» | | Large exposure to developing local market bonds contributed to performance as the asset class benefited from continued capital inflows and strong economic fundamentals. |
» | | Large exposure to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) detracted from performance as real yields rose. |
» | | Minimal exposure to convertibles detracted from returns as the asset class had positive performance. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers four classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative, Advisor, and Class M. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Advisor Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class, Administrative Class and Class M 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 may invest a portion of its assets in certain affiliated underlying investment funds (the “Underlying Funds” or “Acquired Funds”). The Portfolio’s combined investments in the Fundamental IndexPLUS™, Fundamental IndexPLUS™ TR, International StocksPLUS® TR Strategy (U.S. Dollar-Hedged), International StocksPLUS® TR Strategy (Unhedged), Small Cap StocksPLUS® TR, StocksPLUS® and StocksPLUS® Total Return Funds normally will not exceed 50% of its total assets. In addition, the Portfolio’s combined investments in the CommodityRealReturn Strategy, Real Return, Real Return Asset and RealEstateRealReturn Strategy Funds normally will not exceed 75% of its total assets. The Portfolio’s investment in a particular Underlying Fund normally will not exceed 50% of its total assets.
The Portfolio’s assets are not allocated according to a predetermined blend of shares of the Underlying Funds. Instead, when making allocation decisions among the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio’s asset allocation sub-adviser considers various quantitative and qualitative data relating to the U.S. and foreign economies and securities markets. These data include projected growth trends in the U.S. and foreign economies, forecasts for interest rates and the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (yield curve), current and projected trends in inflation, relative valuation levels in the equity and fixed income markets and various industrial sectors, information relating to business cycles, borrowing needs and the cost of capital, political trends data relating to trade balances and labor information. The Portfolio’s asset allocation sub-adviser has the flexibility to reallocate the Portfolio’s assets among any or all of the Underlying Funds based on its ongoing analyses of the equity, fixed income and commodity markets, although these shifts are not expected to be large or frequent in nature. The Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may concentrate its assets in a smaller number of Underlying Funds than a diversified fund.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Investments in funds within the PIMCO Funds are valued at their net asset value as reported by the Underlying Funds.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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.
(c) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(d) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(e) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(f) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of
| | | | |
10 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.175%.
Research Affiliates, LLC (“Research Affiliates”) serves as the asset allocation sub-adviser and selects the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests. PIMCO pays a fee to Research Affiliates at an annual rate of 0.175% based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted separate Distribution Plans for the Advisor Class and Class M shares of the Portfolio. The Distribution Plans have been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Distribution Plans permit payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class and Class M shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class and Class M shareholders which permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class and Class M shares. The Trust has also adopted Administrative Services Plans (“Service Plans”) for the Class M shares of the Portfolio. The Service Plans allows the
Portfolio to use its Class M assets to compensate or reimburse financial intermediaries that provide services relating to Class M shares which permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.20% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Class M shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
(e) Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses The Underlying Fund Expenses for the Portfolio are based upon an allocation of the Portfolio’s assets among the Underlying Funds and upon the total annual operating expenses of the Institutional Class shares of these Underlying Funds. Underlying Fund Expenses will vary with changes in the expenses of the Underlying Funds, as well as allocation of the Portfolio’s assets.
PIMCO has contractually agreed, for the Portfolio’s current fiscal year, to reduce its advisory fee to the extent that the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses attributable to advisory and administrative fees exceed 0.64% of the total assets invested in Underlying Funds. The waiver is reflected in the Statement of Operations as a component of Reimbursement by Manager. For the period ended June 30, 2007, the amount was $45,332. PIMCO may recoup these waivers in future periods, not exceeding three years, provided total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expense limit. As of June 30, 2007, the recoverable amount to the Administrator was $81,026.

5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the
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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed.
Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action
plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
9. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
To the extent the Portfolio invests in the CommodityRealReturn Strategy Fund® (the “CRRS Fund”), an Underlying Fund, this Portfolio may be subject to additional tax risk.
One of the requirements for favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company under the Code is that the Fund derive at least 90% of its gross income from certain qualifying sources of income. The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity index-linked swaps is not qualifying income under Subchapter M of the Code. Subsequently, the IRS issued a private letter ruling to the CRRS Fund in which the IRS specifically concluded that income from certain commodity index-linked notes is qualifying income. In addition, the IRS issued another private letter ruling to the CRRS Fund in which the IRS specifically concluded that income derived from the CRRS Fund’s investment in
the Subsidiary, which invests primarily in commodity index-linked swaps, will also constitute qualifying income to the CRRS Fund. Based on such rulings, the CRRS Fund will continue to seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in commodity-linked notes and through investments in its subsidiary.
Please refer to the prospectus for the Separate Account and Variable Contract for information regarding federal income tax treatment of distributions to the Separate Account.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$ 14,251 | | $ (7,424) | | $ 6,827 |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the All Asset Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
The Portfolio is a “fund of funds,” which is a term used to describe mutual funds that pursue their investment objective by investing in other mutual funds instead of investing directly in stocks or bonds of other issuers. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests substantially all of its assets in Institutional Class shares of PIMCO Funds, an affiliated open-end investment company, except the All Asset and All Asset All Authority Funds (“Underlying Funds”).
Among the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio are allocation risk, Underlying Fund risk and issuer non-diversification risk. The Portfolio also is indirectly subject to the risks of the Underlying Funds, which may include, but are not limited to, the following: interest rate risk, credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, variable dividends risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, commodity risk, equity risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, real estate risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk, small company risk, management risk, California state-specific risk, New York state-specific risk, tax risk, and subsidiary risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. An Underlying Fund 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 the Underlying Fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. An Underlying Fund investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. An Underlying Fund’s investment in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be increased when investing in emerging markets.
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. By investing in the Portfolio, an investor will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the Underlying Funds in addition to the Portfolio’s direct fees and expenses.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class, Advisor Class and Class M 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

* Cumulative return.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Lehman Brothers U.S. TIPS: 1-10 Year Index is an unmanaged index comprised of U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities having a maturity of at least 1 year and less than 10 years. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.
±± CPI + 500 Basis Points benchmark is created by adding 5% to the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). This index reflects non-seasonally adjusted returns. The CPI is an unmanaged index representing the rate of inflation of the U.S. consumer prices as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. There can be no guarantee that the CPI or other indices will reflect the exact level of inflation at any given time. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

Expenses Paid During Period† | | $ | 4.40 | | $ | 4.38 |
† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Class M annualized expense ratio of 0.875%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The expense ratio excludes the expenses of the Underlying 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 are currently capped at 0.64%. Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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, an affiliated open-end investment company, except the PIMCO All Asset and PIMCO All Asset All Authority Funds. |
» | | Significant exposure to short-term strategies, particularly through the PIMCO Floating Income Fund, contributed to performance as the PIMCO Floating Income Fund returned 2.62% net of fees during the period. |
» | | Although any exposure to Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) would detract from performance, as the Dow Jones Wilshire REIT Index returned -5.97% during the period, negligible exposure was a positive asset allocation decision. |
» | | Exposure to equity strategies benefited performance due to strong returns domestically and internationally. However, reduced equity exposure in the Portfolio was not a positive asset allocation decision. |
» | | Large exposure to developing local market bonds contributed to performance as the asset class benefited from continued capital inflows and strong economic fundamentals. |
» | | Large exposure to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) detracted from performance as real yields rose. |
» | | Minimal exposure to convertibles detracted from returns as the asset class had positive performance. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers four classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative, Advisor, and Class M. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Class M of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class, Advisor Class and 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 may invest a portion of its assets in certain affiliated underlying investment funds (the “Underlying Funds” or “Acquired Funds”). The Portfolio’s combined investments in the Fundamental IndexPLUS™, Fundamental IndexPLUS™ TR, International StocksPLUS® TR Strategy (U.S. Dollar-Hedged), International StocksPLUS® TR Strategy (Unhedged), Small Cap StocksPLUS® TR, StocksPLUS® and StocksPLUS® Total Return Funds normally will not exceed 50% of its total assets. In addition, the Portfolio’s combined investments in the CommodityRealReturn Strategy, Real Return, Real Return Asset and RealEstateRealReturn Strategy Funds normally will not exceed 75% of its total assets. The Portfolio’s investment in a particular Underlying Fund normally will not exceed 50% of its total assets.
The Portfolio’s assets are not allocated according to a predetermined blend of shares of the Underlying Funds. Instead, when making allocation decisions among the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio’s asset allocation sub-adviser considers various quantitative and qualitative data relating to the U.S. and foreign economies and securities markets. These data include projected growth trends in the U.S. and foreign economies, forecasts for interest rates and the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (yield curve), current and projected trends in inflation, relative valuation levels in the equity and fixed income markets and various industrial sectors, information relating to business cycles, borrowing needs and the cost of capital, political trends data relating to trade balances and labor information. The Portfolio’s asset allocation sub-adviser has the flexibility to reallocate the Portfolio’s assets among any or all of the Underlying Funds based on its ongoing analyses of the equity, fixed income and commodity markets, although these shifts are not expected to be large or frequent in nature. The Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may concentrate its assets in a smaller number of Underlying Funds than a diversified fund.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Investments in funds within the PIMCO Funds are valued at their net asset value as reported by the Underlying Funds.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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.
(c) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(d) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(e) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(f) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of
| | | | |
10 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.175%.
Research Affiliates, LLC (“Research Affiliates”) serves as the asset allocation sub-adviser and selects the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests. PIMCO pays a fee to Research Affiliates at an annual rate of 0.175% based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted separate Distribution Plans for the Advisor Class and Class M shares of the Portfolio. The Distribution Plans have been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Distribution Plans permit payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class and Class M shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class and Class M shareholders which permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class and Class M shares. The Trust has also adopted Administrative Services Plans (“Service Plans”) for the Class M shares of the Portfolio. The Service Plans allows the
Portfolio to use its Class M assets to compensate or reimburse financial intermediaries that provide services relating to Class M shares which permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.20% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Class M shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
(e) Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses The Underlying Fund Expenses for the Portfolio are based upon an allocation of the Portfolio’s assets among the Underlying Funds and upon the total annual operating expenses of the Institutional Class shares of these Underlying Funds. Underlying Fund Expenses will vary with changes in the expenses of the Underlying Funds, as well as allocation of the Portfolio’s assets.
PIMCO has contractually agreed, for the Portfolio’s current fiscal year, to reduce its advisory fee to the extent that the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses attributable to advisory and administrative fees exceed 0.64% of the total assets invested in Underlying Funds. The waiver is reflected in the Statement of Operations as a component of Reimbursement by Manager. For the period ended June 30, 2007, the amount was $45,332. PIMCO may recoup these waivers in future periods, not exceeding three years, provided total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expense limit. As of June 30, 2007, the recoverable amount to the Administrator was $81,026.

5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the
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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed.
Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action
plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
9. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
To the extent the Portfolio invests in the CommodityRealReturn Strategy Fund® (the “CRRS Fund”), an Underlying Fund, this Portfolio may be subject to additional tax risk.
One of the requirements for favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company under the Code is that the Fund derive at least 90% of its gross income from certain qualifying sources of income. The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity index-linked swaps is not qualifying income under Subchapter M of the Code. Subsequently, the IRS issued a private letter ruling to the CRRS Fund in which the IRS specifically concluded that income from certain commodity index-linked notes is qualifying income. In addition, the IRS issued another private letter ruling to the CRRS Fund in which the IRS specifically concluded that income derived from the CRRS Fund’s investment in
the Subsidiary, which invests primarily in commodity index-linked swaps, will also constitute qualifying income to the CRRS Fund. Based on such rulings, the CRRS Fund will continue to seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in commodity-linked notes and through investments in its subsidiary.
Please refer to the prospectus for the Separate Account and Variable Contract for information regarding federal income tax treatment of distributions to the Separate Account.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$ 14,251 | | $ (7,424) | | $ 6,827 |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the CommodityRealReturn™ Strategy Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, commodity risk, equity risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk, management risk, tax risk, and subsidiary risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments as part of an investment strategy, as described below, or for hedging purposes. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
The Portfolio is intended for long-term investors and an investment in the Portfolio should be no more than a small part of a typical diversified portfolio. The Portfolio’s share price is expected to be more volatile than that of other funds.
The Portfolio will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in leveraged or unleveraged commodity index-linked notes, which are derivative debt instruments with principal and/or coupon payments linked to the performance of commodity indices, and through investments in the PIMCO Cayman Commodity Portfolio I Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary (as discussed below). The Portfolio may also invest in commodity-linked notes with principal and/or coupon payments linked to the value of particular commodities or commodity futures contracts, or a subset of commodities or commodities future contracts. These notes are sometimes referred to as “structured notes” because the terms of these notes may be structured by the issuer and the purchaser of the notes. The value of these notes will rise or fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity or related index of investments. These notes expose the Portfolio economically to movements in commodity prices. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs, and international economic, political and regulatory developments. These notes also are subject to risks, such as credit, market and interest rate risks, that in general affect the values of debt securities. In addition, these notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s market value relative to changes in the underlying commodity, commodity futures contract or commodity index. Therefore, at maturity of the note, the Portfolio may receive more or less principal than it originally invested. The Portfolio might receive interest payments on the note that are more or less than the stated coupon interest payments. The Portfolio may also gain exposure to the commodity markets indirectly by investing in its Subsidiary, which will primarily invest in different commodity-linked derivative instruments than the Portfolio, including swap agreements, commodity options, futures and options on futures.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.

The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index is an unmanaged index composed of futures contracts on 19 physical commodities. The index is designed to be a highly liquid and diversified benchmark for commodities as an asset class. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Administrative Class annualized expense ratio of 0.85%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO CommodityRealReturn™ Strategy Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances primarily in commodity-linked derivative instruments backed by a portfolio of inflation-indexed securities and other fixed-income instruments. |
» | | Commodities generally gained during the period, which enhanced total return performance of the Portfolio. |
» | | The Portfolio’s use of Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) as collateral was negative for performance in the first half of the year as TIPS underperformed the assumed Treasury Bill collateral rate embedded in the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index. |
» | | Above-index U.S. real duration in the first half of the period was positive for performance as real yields decreased. Below-index U.S. real duration in the second half of the period was also positive for performance as real yields increased. |
» | | An emphasis on nominal bonds in the Eurozone benefited performance as nominal bonds outperformed inflation-linked bonds in the region. |
» | | Modest exposure to U.K. nominal bonds was negative for performance due to rising interest rates and a tightening bias from the Bank of England. |
» | | Holdings of mortgage-backed securities detracted from performance as mortgage spreads widened. |

Notes to Financial Statements | | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
1. ORGANIZATION
The CommodityRealReturn™ Strategy 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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Advisor 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

CNY | | Chinese Yuan Renminbi | | RUB | | Russian Ruble |
EUR | | Euro | | SGD | | Singapore Dollar |
GBP | | Great British Pound | | | | |
(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(j) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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
| | | | |
16 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(k) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(l) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a
transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(m) Restricted Securities The Portfolio may 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. Securities acquired under the provisions of Rule 144A can only be traded between qualified institutional investors. The Board of Trustees considers 144A securities to be liquid.
(n) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(o) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(p) Commodities Index-Linked/Structured Notes The Portfolio invests in structured notes whose value is based on the price movements of a commodity index. The structured notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element. The value of these notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities. Fluctuations in value of the structured notes are recorded as unrealized gains and losses on the accompanying financial statements. Net payments are recorded as net realized gains and losses. These notes are subject to prepayment, credit and interest risks. The Portfolio has the option to request
prepayment from the issuer. At maturity, or when a note is sold, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss. At June 30, 2007, the value of these securities comprised 22.9% of the Portfolio’s net assets and resulted in unrealized appreciation of $4,766,210.
(q) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(r) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(s) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.

3. BASIS FOR CONSOLIDATION OF THE PIMCO COMMODITYREALRETURN™ STRATEGY PORTFOLIO
The PIMCO Cayman Commodity Portfolio I Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on July 21, 2006 as a wholly owned subsidiary acting as an investment vehicle for the Portfolio in order to effect certain investments for the Portfolio consistent with the Portfolio’s investment objectives and policies specified in its prospectus and statement of additional information. A subscription agreement was entered into between the Portfolio and the Subsidiary on August 1, 2006, comprising the entire issued share capital of the Subsidiary with the intent that the Portfolio will remain the sole shareholder and retain all rights. Under the Articles of Association of the Subsidiary, shares issued by the Subsidiary confer upon a shareholder the right to receive notice of, to attend and to vote at general meetings of the Subsidiary and shall confer upon the shareholder rights in a winding-up or repayment of capital and the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiary. As of June 30, 2007, net assets of the Portfolio were approximately $234 million, of which approximately $16 million, or roughly 6.8%, represented the Portfolio’s ownership of all issued shares and voting rights of the Subsidiary.
4. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.49%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
(e) Expense Limitation PIMCO has contractually agreed to reduce total annual portfolio operating expenses for the Portfolio by waiving a portion of its administrative fee or reimbursing the Portfolio, to the extent that they would exceed, due to the payment of organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees’ fees, the sum of such Portfolio’s advisory fee, service fees, distribution fees (with respect to Advisor Class only), administrative fees and other expenses borne by the Portfolio not covered by the administrative fee as described above (other than organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees’ fees), plus 0.49 basis points. PIMCO may recoup these waivers and reimbursements for a period not exceeding three years, provided that total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expense limit. As of June 30, 2007, the recoverable amount to the Administrator was $1,758.
(f) Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses The Subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with PIMCO for the management of the Subsidiary’s portfolio pursuant to which the Subsidiary pays PIMCO a management fee and administration fee at the annual rates of 0.49% and 0.20%, respectively, of its net assets. PIMCO has contractually agreed to waive the advisory fee and the administration fee it receives from the Portfolio in an amount equal to the advisory fee and administration fee, respectively, paid to PIMCO by the Subsidiary. This waiver may not be terminated by PIMCO and will remain in effect for as long as PIMCO’s contract with the Subsidiary is in place. The waiver is reflected in the Statement of Operations as a component of Reimbursement by Manager. For the period ended June 30, 2007, the amount was $100,253.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

6. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
7. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

10. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of
| | | | |
20 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
11. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
The Portfolio may gain exposure to the commodities markets primarily through index-linked notes, and may invest in other commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity swap agreements, options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and foreign funds investing in similar commodity-linked derivatives.
One of the requirements for favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company under the Code is that the Portfolio derive at least 90% of its gross income from certain qualifying sources of income. The IRS issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity index-linked swaps is not qualifying income under Subchapter M of the Code. Subsequently, the IRS issued a private letter ruling to the Portfolio in which the IRS specifically concluded that income from certain commodity index-linked notes is qualifying income. In addition, the IRS issued another private letter ruling to the Portfolio in which the IRS specifically concluded that income derived from the Portfolio’s investment in the Subsidiary, which invests primarily in commodity index-linked swaps, will also constitute qualifying income to the Portfolio. Based on such rulings, the Portfolio will continue to seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in commodity-linked notes and through investments in its subsidiary.
Please refer to the prospectus for the Separate Account and Variable Contract for information regarding federal income tax treatment of distributions to the Separate Account.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the CommodityRealReturn™ Strategy Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, commodity risk, equity risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk, management risk, tax risk, and subsidiary risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments as part of an investment strategy, as described below, or for hedging purposes. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
The Portfolio is intended for long-term investors and an investment in the Portfolio should be no more than a small part of a typical diversified portfolio. The Portfolio’s share price is expected to be more volatile than that of other funds.
The Portfolio will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in leveraged or unleveraged commodity index-linked notes, which are derivative debt instruments with principal and/or coupon payments linked to the performance of commodity indices, and through investments in the PIMCO Cayman Commodity Portfolio I Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary (as discussed below). The Portfolio may also invest in commodity-linked notes with principal and/or coupon payments linked to the value of particular commodities or commodity futures contracts, or a subset of commodities or commodities future contracts. These notes are sometimes referred to as “structured notes” because the terms of these notes may be structured by the issuer and the purchaser of the notes. The value of these notes will rise or fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity or related index of investments. These notes expose the Portfolio economically to movements in commodity prices. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs, and international economic, political and regulatory developments. These notes also are subject to risks, such as credit, market and interest rate risks, that in general affect the values of debt securities. In addition, these notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s market value relative to changes in the underlying commodity, commodity futures contract or commodity index. Therefore, at maturity of the note, the Portfolio may receive more or less principal than it originally invested. The Portfolio might receive interest payments on the note that are more or less than the stated coupon interest payments. The Portfolio may also gain exposure to the commodity markets indirectly by investing in its Subsidiary, which will primarily invest in different commodity-linked derivative instruments than the Portfolio, including swap agreements, commodity options, futures and options on futures.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.

The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index is an unmanaged index composed of futures contracts on 19 physical commodities. The index is designed to be a highly liquid and diversified benchmark for commodities as an asset class. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Advisor Class annualized expense ratio of 0.95%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO CommodityRealReturn™ Strategy Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances primarily in commodity-linked derivative instruments backed by a portfolio of inflation-indexed securities and other fixed-income instruments. |
» | | Commodities generally gained during the period, which enhanced total return performance of the Portfolio. |
» | | The Portfolio’s use of Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) as collateral was negative for performance in the first half of the year as TIPS underperformed the assumed Treasury Bill collateral rate embedded in the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index. |
» | | Above-index U.S. real duration in the first half of the period was positive for performance as real yields decreased. Below-index U.S. real duration in the second half of the period was also positive for performance as real yields increased. |
» | | An emphasis on nominal bonds in the Eurozone benefited performance as nominal bonds outperformed inflation-linked bonds in the region. |
» | | Modest exposure to U.K. nominal bonds was negative for performance due to rising interest rates and a tightening bias from the Bank of England. |
» | | Holdings of mortgage-backed securities detracted from performance as mortgage spreads widened. |

Notes to Financial Statements | | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
1. ORGANIZATION
The CommodityRealReturn™ Strategy 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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Advisor 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE���) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(j) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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
| | | | |
16 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(k) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(l) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a
transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(m) Restricted Securities The Portfolio may 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. Securities acquired under the provisions of Rule 144A can only be traded between qualified institutional investors. The Board of Trustees considers 144A securities to be liquid.
(n) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(o) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
��
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(p) Commodities Index-Linked/Structured Notes The Portfolio invests in structured notes whose value is based on the price movements of a commodity index. The structured notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element. The value of these notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities. Fluctuations in value of the structured notes are recorded as unrealized gains and losses on the accompanying financial statements. Net payments are recorded as net realized gains and losses. These notes are subject to prepayment, credit and interest risks. The Portfolio has the option to request
prepayment from the issuer. At maturity, or when a note is sold, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss. At June 30, 2007, the value of these securities comprised 22.9% of the Portfolio’s net assets and resulted in unrealized appreciation of $4,766,210.
(q) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(r) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(s) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.

3. BASIS FOR CONSOLIDATION OF THE PIMCO COMMODITYREALRETURN™ STRATEGY PORTFOLIO
The PIMCO Cayman Commodity Portfolio I Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on July 21, 2006 as a wholly owned subsidiary acting as an investment vehicle for the Portfolio in order to effect certain investments for the Portfolio consistent with the Portfolio’s investment objectives and policies specified in its prospectus and statement of additional information. A subscription agreement was entered into between the Portfolio and the Subsidiary on August 1, 2006, comprising the entire issued share capital of the Subsidiary with the intent that the Portfolio will remain the sole shareholder and retain all rights. Under the Articles of Association of the Subsidiary, shares issued by the Subsidiary confer upon a shareholder the right to receive notice of, to attend and to vote at general meetings of the Subsidiary and shall confer upon the shareholder rights in a winding-up or repayment of capital and the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiary. As of June 30, 2007, net assets of the Portfolio were approximately $234 million, of which approximately $16 million, or roughly 6.8%, represented the Portfolio’s ownership of all issued shares and voting rights of the Subsidiary.
4. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.49%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
(e) Expense Limitation PIMCO has contractually agreed to reduce total annual portfolio operating expenses for the Portfolio by waiving a portion of its administrative fee or reimbursing the Portfolio, to the extent that they would exceed, due to the payment of organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees’ fees, the sum of such Portfolio’s advisory fee, service fees, distribution fees (with respect to Advisor Class only), administrative fees and other expenses borne by the Portfolio not covered by the administrative fee as described above (other than organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees’ fees), plus 0.49 basis points. PIMCO may recoup these waivers and reimbursements for a period not exceeding three years, provided that total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expense limit. As of June 30, 2007, the recoverable amount to the Administrator was $1,758.
(f) Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses The Subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with PIMCO for the management of the Subsidiary’s portfolio pursuant to which the Subsidiary pays PIMCO a management fee and administration fee at the annual rates of 0.49% and 0.20%, respectively, of its net assets. PIMCO has contractually agreed to waive the advisory fee and the administration fee it receives from the Portfolio in an amount equal to the advisory fee and administration fee, respectively, paid to PIMCO by the Subsidiary. This waiver may not be terminated by PIMCO and will remain in effect for as long as PIMCO’s contract with the Subsidiary is in place. The waiver is reflected in the Statement of Operations as a component of Reimbursement by Manager. For the period ended June 30, 2007, the amount was $100,253.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

6. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
7. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

10. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of
| | | | |
20 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
11. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
The Portfolio may gain exposure to the commodities markets primarily through index-linked notes, and may invest in other commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity swap agreements, options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and foreign funds investing in similar commodity-linked derivatives.
One of the requirements for favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company under the Code is that the Portfolio derive at least 90% of its gross income from certain qualifying sources of income. The IRS issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity index-linked swaps is not qualifying income under Subchapter M of the Code. Subsequently, the IRS issued a private letter ruling to the Portfolio in which the IRS specifically concluded that income from certain commodity index-linked notes is qualifying income. In addition, the IRS issued another private letter ruling to the Portfolio in which the IRS specifically concluded that income derived from the Portfolio’s investment in the Subsidiary, which invests primarily in commodity index-linked swaps, will also constitute qualifying income to the Portfolio. Based on such rulings, the Portfolio will continue to seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in commodity-linked notes and through investments in its subsidiary.
Please refer to the prospectus for the Separate Account and Variable Contract for information regarding federal income tax treatment of distributions to the Separate Account.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

* Cumulative return.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global is an unmanaged index which tracks total returns for U.S. dollar denominated debt instruments issued by emerging market sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities, Brady bonds, loans, Eurobonds and local market instruments. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

Expenses Paid During Period† | | $ | 5.20 | | $ | 5.21 |
† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Administrative Class annualized expense ratio of 1.04%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in fixed-income instruments of issuers that economically are tied to countries with emerging securities markets, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives, such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. |
» | | An overweight position in Brazil benefited performance. The JPMorgan EMBIG Brazil sub-index returned 3.1% for the period, outperforming the broader emerging markets sector, as represented by the JPMorgan EMBIG Index, which returned 0.9% for the same period. |
» | | An underweight to Venezuela helped relative performance. The JPMorgan EMBIG Venezuela sub-index declined 10.1% for the period. |
» | | An overweight position in Russia detracted from relative performance. However, emphasizing Russian corporate bonds helped performance as corporates outperformed sovereign bonds during the period. |
» | | A tactical allocation in emerging markets currencies benefited performance as these currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar over the period. |
» | | Off-benchmark allocations to emerging local markets helped the Portfolio’s performance as emerging markets local bonds, represented by the JPMorgan GBI EM Global Diversified Index, outperformed emerging markets external debt, represented by the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global, in the first half of the year. |
» | | An underweight to Ecuador detracted from performance as Ecuador spreads tightened during the period. |
» | | An underweight to Turkey detracted from performance. The JPMorgan EMBIG Turkey sub-index returned 3.2% for the period, outperforming the broader emerging markets sector, as represented by the JPMorgan EMBIG Index. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Advisor 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax
| | | | |

| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates
with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(j) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(k) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(l) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(m) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(n) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.

Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(o) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.
(p) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The
Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(q) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.45%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.40%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 17 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have
not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in
10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$ 5,037 | | $ (2,726) | | $ 2,311 |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global is an unmanaged index which tracks total returns for U.S. dollar denominated debt instruments issued by emerging market sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities, Brady bonds, loans, Eurobonds and local market instruments. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Advisor Class annualized expense ratio of 1.15%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in fixed-income instruments of issuers that economically are tied to countries with emerging securities markets, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives, such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. |
» | | An overweight position in Brazil benefited performance. The JPMorgan EMBIG Brazil sub-index returned 3.1% for the period, outperforming the broader emerging markets sector, as represented by the JPMorgan EMBIG Index, which returned 0.9% for the same period. |
» | | An underweight to Venezuela helped relative performance. The JPMorgan EMBIG Venezuela sub-index declined 10.1% for the period. |
» | | An overweight position in Russia detracted from relative performance. However, emphasizing Russian corporate bonds helped performance as corporates outperformed sovereign bonds during the period. |
» | | A tactical allocation in emerging markets currencies benefited performance as these currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar over the period. |
» | | Off-benchmark allocations to emerging local markets helped the Portfolio’s performance as emerging markets local bonds, represented by the JPMorgan GBI EM Global Diversified Index, outperformed emerging markets external debt, represented by the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global, in the first half of the year. |
» | | An underweight to Ecuador detracted from performance as Ecuador spreads tightened during the period. |
» | | An underweight to Turkey detracted from performance. The JPMorgan EMBIG Turkey sub-index returned 3.2% for the period, outperforming the broader emerging markets sector, as represented by the JPMorgan EMBIG Index. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Advisor 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax
| | | | |
14 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates
with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(j) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(k) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(l) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(m) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(n) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.

Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(o) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.
(p) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The
Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(q) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.45%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.40%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 17 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have
not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in
10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$ 5,037 | | $ (2,726) | | $ 2,311 |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Foreign Bond Portfolio (U.S. Dollar-Hedged) (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

** The Portfolio began operations on 02/16/99. Index comparisons began on 02/28/99.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± JPMorgan Government Bond Indices Global Ex-U.S. Index Hedged in USD is an unmanaged index representative of the total return performance in U.S. dollars on an unhedged basis of major non-U.S. bond markets. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

Expenses Paid During Period† | | $ | 4.45 | | $ | 4.51 |
† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Administrative Class annualized expense ratio of 0.90%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.

Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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 instruments of issuers located outside the United States, representing at least three foreign countries, which may be represented by futures contracts (including related options) with respect to such securities, and options on such securities. |
» | | Developed global bonds produced weak returns, with bond yields rising across major markets. |
» | | Exposure to U.S. shorter maturities, principally through interest rate futures contracts, detracted from performance as yields rose on diminishing expectations of an easing of interest rates by the Federal Reserve. |
» | | An underweight to U.K. interest rates, notably at the long-end of the yield curve, was positive for returns as U.K. yields rose sharply. |
» | | An overweight to European interest rates was negative for returns as yields rose due to the region’s growth momentum. |
» | | An overweight to mortgage-backed securities detracted from returns as mortgage spreads widened. |
» | | Emerging market currency exposure was positive for returns as these currencies outperformed the U.S. dollar. |
» | | Global swap spread widening strategies were positive for returns as global swap spreads widened. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Information presented on 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items
| | | | |

| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.)
(j) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(k) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the
Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(l) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(m) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront
| | | | |
18 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(n) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.
(o) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $300,000 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(p) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities
that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(q) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(r) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.50%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were
named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Foreign Bond Portfolio (U.S. Dollar-Hedged) (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Beginning Account Value (01/01/07) | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,000.00 |
Ending Account Value (06/30/07) | | $ | 994.00 | | $ | 1,021.08 |
Expenses Paid During Period† | | $ | 3.71 | | $ | 3.76 |
† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Institutional Class annualized expense ratio of 0.75%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.

Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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 instruments of issuers located outside the United States, representing at least three foreign countries, which may be represented by futures contracts (including related options) with respect to such securities, and options on such securities. |
» | | Developed global bonds produced weak returns, with bond yields rising across major markets. |
» | | Exposure to U.S. shorter maturities, principally through interest rate futures contracts, detracted from performance as yields rose on diminishing expectations of an easing of interest rates by the Federal Reserve. |
» | | An underweight to U.K. interest rates, notably at the long-end of the yield curve, was positive for returns as U.K. yields rose sharply. |
» | | An overweight to European interest rates was negative for returns as yields rose due to the region’s growth momentum. |
» | | An overweight to mortgage-backed securities detracted from returns as mortgage spreads widened. |
» | | Emerging market currency exposure was positive for returns as these currencies outperformed the U.S. dollar. |
» | | Global swap spread widening strategies were positive for returns as global swap spreads widened. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Information presented on 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items
| | | | |

| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.)
(j) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(k) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the
Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(l) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(m) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront
| | | | |
18 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(n) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.
(o) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $300,000 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(p) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities
that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(q) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(r) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract.

| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 19 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.50%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were
named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Global Bond Portfolio (Unhedged) (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel or litigation expense).

Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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), which may be represented by futures contracts (including related options) with respect to such securities, and options on such securities. |
» | | Global unhedged bonds produced weak returns as bond yields rose across major markets. |
» | | Exposure to U.S. shorter maturities, principally through interest rate futures contracts, detracted from performance as yields rose. |
» | | An underweight to U.K. interest rates, notably at the long-end of the yield curve, was positive for returns as U.K. yields rose sharply. |
» | | An overweight to European interest rates was negative for returns as yields rose due to the region’s growth momentum. |
» | | An overweight to mortgage-backed securities detracted from returns as mortgage spreads widened. |
» | | Emerging market currency exposure was positive for returns as these currencies outperformed the U.S. dollar. |
» | | Global swap spread widening strategies were positive for returns as global swap spreads widened. |

Notes to Financial Statements | | June 30, 2007 (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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class and Advisor 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) When-Issued Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued basis. These transactions are made conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not yet been issued in the market. A commitment by the Portfolio is made regarding these transactions to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. The Portfolio may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
(e) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(f) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(g) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

JPY | | Japanese Yen | | | | |
(h) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(i) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(j) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(k) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(l) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(m) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(n) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(o) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(p) Commodities Index-Linked/Structured Notes The Portfolio invests in structured notes whose value is based on the price movements of a commodity index. The structured notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element. The value of these notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities. Fluctuations in value of the structured notes are recorded as unrealized gains and losses on the accompanying financial statements. Net payments are recorded as net realized gains and losses. These notes are subject to prepayment, credit and interest risks. The Portfolio has the option to request
prepayment from the issuer. At maturity, or when a note is sold, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss. At June 30, 2007, the value of these securities comprised 0.5% of the Portfolio’s net assets and resulted in unrealized depreciation of $5,668.
(q) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(r) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(s) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.

3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.50%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to
April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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.

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and
consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to
| | | | |
22 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |
$ 2,880 | | $ (3,202) | | $ (322) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Global Bond Portfolio (Unhedged) (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel or litigation expense).

* Cumulative return.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± JPMorgan Government Bond Indices Global FX New York Index Unhedged in USD is an unmanaged index representative of the total return performance in U.S. dollars on an unhedged basis of major world bond markets. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

Expenses Paid During Period† | | $ | 3.70 | | $ | 3.76 |
† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Institutional Class annualized expense ratio of 0.75%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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), which may be represented by futures contracts (including related options) with respect to such securities, and options on such securities. |
» | | Global unhedged bonds produced weak returns as bond yields rose across major markets. |
» | | Exposure to U.S. shorter maturities, principally through interest rate futures contracts, detracted from performance as yields rose. |
» | | An underweight to U.K. interest rates, notably at the long-end of the yield curve, was positive for returns as U.K. yields rose sharply. |
» | | An overweight to European interest rates was negative for returns as yields rose due to the region’s growth momentum. |
» | | An overweight to mortgage-backed securities detracted from returns as mortgage spreads widened. |
» | | Emerging market currency exposure was positive for returns as these currencies outperformed the U.S. dollar. |
» | | Global swap spread widening strategies were positive for returns as global swap spreads widened. |

Notes to Financial Statements | | June 30, 2007 (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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class and Advisor 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) When-Issued Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued basis. These transactions are made conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not yet been issued in the market. A commitment by the Portfolio is made regarding these transactions to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. The Portfolio may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
(e) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(f) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(g) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

JPY | | Japanese Yen | | | | |
(h) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(i) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(j) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(k) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(l) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(m) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(n) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(o) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(p) Commodities Index-Linked/Structured Notes The Portfolio invests in structured notes whose value is based on the price movements of a commodity index. The structured notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element. The value of these notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities. Fluctuations in value of the structured notes are recorded as unrealized gains and losses on the accompanying financial statements. Net payments are recorded as net realized gains and losses. These notes are subject to prepayment, credit and interest risks. The Portfolio has the option to request
prepayment from the issuer. At maturity, or when a note is sold, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss. At June 30, 2007, the value of these securities comprised 0.5% of the Portfolio’s net assets and resulted in unrealized depreciation of $5,668.
(q) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(r) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(s) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.

3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.50%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to
April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and
consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to
| | | | |

| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |

The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.

† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Advisor Class annualized expense ratio of 1.00%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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), which may be represented by futures contracts (including related options) with respect to such securities, and options on such securities. |
» | | Global unhedged bonds produced weak returns as bond yields rose across major markets. |
» | | Exposure to U.S. shorter maturities, principally through interest rate futures contracts, detracted from performance as yields rose. |
» | | An underweight to U.K. interest rates, notably at the long-end of the yield curve, was positive for returns as U.K. yields rose sharply. |
» | | An overweight to European interest rates was negative for returns as yields rose due to the region’s growth momentum. |
» | | An overweight to mortgage-backed securities detracted from returns as mortgage spreads widened. |
» | | Emerging market currency exposure was positive for returns as these currencies outperformed the U.S. dollar. |
» | | Global swap spread widening strategies were positive for returns as global swap spreads widened. |

Notes to Financial Statements | | June 30, 2007 (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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Advisor Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class and 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) When-Issued Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued basis. These transactions are made conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not yet been issued in the market. A commitment by the Portfolio is made regarding these transactions to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. The Portfolio may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
(e) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(f) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(g) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

JPY | | Japanese Yen | | | | |
(h) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(i) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(j) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(k) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(l) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(m) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(n) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(o) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(p) Commodities Index-Linked/Structured Notes The Portfolio invests in structured notes whose value is based on the price movements of a commodity index. The structured notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element. The value of these notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities. Fluctuations in value of the structured notes are recorded as unrealized gains and losses on the accompanying financial statements. Net payments are recorded as net realized gains and losses. These notes are subject to prepayment, credit and interest risks. The Portfolio has the option to request
prepayment from the issuer. At maturity, or when a note is sold, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss. At June 30, 2007, the value of these securities comprised 0.5% of the Portfolio’s net assets and resulted in unrealized depreciation of $5,668.
(q) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(r) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(s) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.

3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.50%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to
April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and
consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to
| | | | |
22 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |
$ 2,880 | | $ (3,202) | | $ (322) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the High Yield Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

* Cumulative return.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Constrained Index tracks the performance of BB-B Rated U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. Qualifying bonds are capitalization-weighted provided the total allocation to an individual issuer (defined by Bloomberg tickers) does not exceed 2%. Issuers that exceed the limit are reduced to 2% and the face value of each of their bonds is adjusted on a pro-rata basis. Similarly, the face value of bonds of all other issuers that fall below the 2% cap are increased on a pro-rata basis. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.

Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO High Yield Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of high-yield securities (“junk bonds”), which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements, rated below investment grade but rated at least Caa by Moody’s, or equivalently rated by S&P or Fitch, or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality, subject to a maximum of 5% of total assets in securities rated Caa by Moody’s, or equivalently rated by S&P or Fitch, or if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. |
» | | An underweight to the building products sector, led lower by poor performing building and construction credits, added to relative performance. |
» | | An emphasis on B-rated technology issues, which outperformed their higher-quality BB-rated counterparts, was a strong boost to returns. |
» | | Security selection in the healthcare sector was a strong positive for returns as middle- and lower-rated quality tiers outperformed considerably. |
» | | An underweight to consumer non-cyclicals, which outperformed wholesale foods, food/drug retailers, and pharmaceuticals, detracted from relative performance. |
» | | As the metals and mining sector outperformed over the period, an underweight to the sector weighed on the Portfolio’s returns. |
» | | Within the telecom sector, an emphasis on integrated service providers, which fell significantly short of wireless and wireline companies, was negative for relative performance. |
» | | An underweight to BB-rated issues, in general, and some tactical exposure to CCC-rated bonds, added to performance as lower quality outperformed. |

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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class and Advisor 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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.
(d) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(e) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

Non-U.S. currency symbols utilized throughout the report are defined as follows: |
BRL | | Brazilian Real | | JPY | | Japanese Yen |
EUR | | Euro | | MXN | | Mexican Peso |
GBP | | Great British Pound | | | | |
(f) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(g) 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 term, 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 a pro-rata adjustment from interest receivable to the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(h) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(i) Reverse Repurchase Agreements The Portfolio may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Portfolio sells to a financial institution a security that it holds with an agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon price and date. Securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A reverse repurchase agreement involves the risk that the market value of the security sold by the Portfolio may decline below the repurchase price of the security. The Portfolio will segregate assets determined to be liquid by the investment adviser or otherwise cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements.
(j) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters

acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(k) Restricted Securities The Portfolio may 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. Securities acquired under the provisions of Rule 144A can only be traded between qualified institutional investors. The Board of Trustees considers 144A securities to be liquid.
(l) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(m) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
(n) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $14,177,071 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(o) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(p) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.35%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.

| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
The Portfolio is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain related affiliated portfolios under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Portfolio from or to another portfolio that are, or could be, considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. During the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio engaged in purchases and sales of securities pursuant to the Rule 17a-7 of the Act (amounts in thousands):
| | |
Purchases | | Sales |
$ 0 | | $ 1,816 |
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 19 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds
managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the
subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$ 7,556 | | $ (5,537) | | $ 2,019 |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the High Yield Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.

A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

** The Portfolio began operations on 07/01/02. Index comparisons began on 06/30/02.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Constrained Index tracks the performance of BB-B Rated US Dollar-denominated corporate bonds publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. Qualifying bonds are capitalization-weighted provided the total allocation to an individual issuer (defined by Bloomberg tickers) does not exceed 2%. Issuers that exceed the limit are reduced to 2% and the face value of each of their bonds is adjusted on a pro-rata basis. Similarly, the face value of bonds of all other issuers that fall below the 2% cap are increased on a pro-rata basis. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

Expense Example | | Actual Performance | | Hypothetical Performance |
| | | | (5% return before expenses) |
Beginning Account Value (01/01/07) | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,000.00 |

Expenses Paid During Period† | | $ | 3.01 | | $ | 3.01 |
† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Institutional Class annualized expense ratio of 0.60%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO High Yield Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of high-yield securities (“junk bonds”), which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements, rated below investment grade but rated at least Caa by Moody’s, or equivalently rated by S&P or Fitch, or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality, subject to a maximum of 5% of total assets in securities rated Caa by Moody’s, or equivalently rated by S&P or Fitch, or if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. |
» | | An underweight to the building products sector, led lower by poor performing building and construction credits, added to relative performance. |
» | | An emphasis on B-rated technology issues, which outperformed their higher-quality BB-rated counterparts, was a strong boost to returns. |
» | | Security selection in the healthcare sector was a strong positive for returns as middle- and lower-rated quality tiers outperformed considerably. |
» | | An underweight to consumer non-cyclicals, which outperformed wholesale foods, food/drug retailers, and pharmaceuticals, detracted from relative performance. |
» | | As the metals and mining sector outperformed over the period, an underweight to the sector weighed on the Portfolio’s returns. |
» | | Within the telecom sector, an emphasis on integrated service providers, which fell significantly short of wireless and wireline companies, was negative for relative performance. |
» | | An underweight to BB-rated issues, in general, and some tactical exposure to CCC-rated bonds, added to performance as lower quality outperformed. |

Notes to Financial Statements | | June 30, 2007 (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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class and Advisor 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between

| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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.
(d) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(e) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

Non-U.S. currency symbols utilized throughout the report are defined as follows: |
BRL | | Brazilian Real | | JPY | | Japanese Yen |
EUR | | Euro | | MXN | | Mexican Peso |
GBP | | Great British Pound | | | | |
(f) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(g) 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 term, 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 a pro-rata adjustment from interest receivable to the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(h) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(i) Reverse Repurchase Agreements The Portfolio may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Portfolio sells to a financial institution a security that it holds with an agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon price and date. Securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A reverse repurchase agreement involves the risk that the market value of the security sold by the Portfolio may decline below the repurchase price of the security. The Portfolio will segregate assets determined to be liquid by the investment adviser or otherwise cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements.
(j) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters

acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(k) Restricted Securities The Portfolio may 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. Securities acquired under the provisions of Rule 144A can only be traded between qualified institutional investors. The Board of Trustees considers 144A securities to be liquid.
(l) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(m) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.

(n) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $14,177,071 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(o) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(p) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.35%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Portfolio is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain related affiliated portfolios under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Portfolio from or to another portfolio that are, or could be, considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. During the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio engaged in purchases and sales of securities pursuant to the Rule 17a-7 of the Act (amounts in thousands):

Purchases | | Sales |
$ 0 | | $ 1,816 |
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the

shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds
managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the
subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$ 7,556 | | $ (5,537) | | $ 2,019 |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the High Yield Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

* Cumulative return.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Constrained Index tracks the performance of BB-B Rated U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. Qualifying bonds are capitalization-weighted provided the total allocation to an individual issuer (defined by Bloomberg tickers) does not exceed 2%. Issuers that exceed the limit are reduced to 2% and the face value of each of their bonds is adjusted on a pro-rata basis. Similarly, the face value of bonds of all other issuers that fall below the 2% cap are increased on a pro-rata basis. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Advisor Class annualized expense ratio of 0.85%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO High Yield Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of high-yield securities (“junk bonds”), which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements, rated below investment grade but rated at least Caa by Moody’s, or equivalently rated by S&P or Fitch, or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality, subject to a maximum of 5% of total assets in securities rated Caa by Moody’s, or equivalently rated by S&P or Fitch, or if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. |
» | | An underweight to the building products sector, led lower by poor performing building and construction credits, added to relative performance. |
» | | An emphasis on B-rated technology issues, which outperformed their higher-quality BB-rated counterparts, was a strong boost to returns. |
» | | Security selection in the healthcare sector was a strong positive for returns as middle- and lower-rated quality tiers outperformed considerably. |
» | | An underweight to consumer non-cyclicals, which outperformed wholesale foods, food/drug retailers, and pharmaceuticals, detracted from relative performance. |
» | | As the metals and mining sector outperformed over the period, an underweight to the sector weighed on the Portfolio’s returns. |
» | | Within the telecom sector, an emphasis on integrated service providers, which fell significantly short of wireless and wireline companies, was negative for relative performance. |
» | | An underweight to BB-rated issues, in general, and some tactical exposure to CCC-rated bonds, added to performance as lower quality outperformed. |

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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Advisor Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class and 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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.
(d) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(e) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

Non-U.S. currency symbols utilized throughout the report are defined as follows: |
BRL | | Brazilian Real | | JPY | | Japanese Yen |
EUR | | Euro | | MXN | | Mexican Peso |
GBP | | Great British Pound | | | | |
(f) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(g) 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 term, 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 a pro-rata adjustment from interest receivable to the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(h) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(i) Reverse Repurchase Agreements The Portfolio may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Portfolio sells to a financial institution a security that it holds with an agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon price and date. Securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A reverse repurchase agreement involves the risk that the market value of the security sold by the Portfolio may decline below the repurchase price of the security. The Portfolio will segregate assets determined to be liquid by the investment adviser or otherwise cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements.
(j) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters

acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(k) Restricted Securities The Portfolio may 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. Securities acquired under the provisions of Rule 144A can only be traded between qualified institutional investors. The Board of Trustees considers 144A securities to be liquid.
(l) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(m) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
(n) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $14,177,071 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(o) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(p) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.35%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.

| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
The Portfolio is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain related affiliated portfolios under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Portfolio from or to another portfolio that are, or could be, considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. During the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio engaged in purchases and sales of securities pursuant to the Rule 17a-7 of the Act (amounts in thousands):
| | |
Purchases | | Sales |
$ 0 | | $ 1,816 |
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 19 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds
managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the
subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$ 7,556 | | $ (5,537) | | $ 2,019 |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Long-Term U.S. Government Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, market risk, issuer risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Lehman Brothers Long-Term Treasury Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. Treasury issues with maturities greater than 10 years. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Administrative Class annualized expense ratio of 0.625%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.

» | | Duration positioning was slightly negative for performance during the first six months of 2007. During the first quarter, above-benchmark duration added value to performance as interest rates declined across most maturities. The above-index duration position negatively outweighed these gains as interest rates increased in the second quarter, especially during the month of May. |
» | | The Portfolio’s emphasis on the short-term portion of the yield curve throughout the six- month reporting period positively impacted relative performance as the two- to 30-year yield spread steepened during the period. |
» | | Interest rate swap exposure detracted from performance as swap spreads widened across all maturities during the period. |
» | | An allocation to long-term agency debentures detracted from relative performance as they underperformed like-duration Treasuries over the period. |
» | | Compared to the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Treasury Index, a modest out-of-benchmark allocation to long-term Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) slightly detracted from performance for the period. Long-term TIPS outperformed like-duration Treasuries during the first quarter, but their performance declined compared to similar Treasuries during the second quarter. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Information presented on 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(g) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(h) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(i) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(j) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 13 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(k) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(l) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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
| | | | |
14 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
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.
(m) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(n) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(o) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.225%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately
| | | | |
16 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking
invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Long-Term U.S. Government Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, market risk, issuer risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Lehman Brothers Long-Term Treasury Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. Treasury issues with maturities greater than 10 years. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Institutional Class annualized expense ratio of 0.475%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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. |
» | | Over the six-month period, long-term yields rose, which detracted from performance of long-term Treasuries. |
» | | Duration positioning was slightly negative for performance during the first six months of 2007. During the first quarter, above-benchmark duration added value to performance as interest rates declined across most maturities. The above-index duration position negatively outweighed these gains as interest rates increased in the second quarter, especially during the month of May. |
» | | The Portfolio’s emphasis on the short-term portion of the yield curve throughout the six-month reporting period positively impacted relative performance as the two- to 30-year yield spread steepened during the period. |
» | | Interest rate swap exposure detracted from performance as swap spreads widened across all maturities during the period. |
» | | An allocation to long-term agency debentures detracted from relative performance as they underperformed like-duration Treasuries over the period. |
» | | Compared to the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Treasury Index, a modest out-of-benchmark allocation to long-term Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) slightly detracted from performance for the period. Long-term TIPS outperformed like-duration Treasuries during the first quarter, but their performance declined compared to similar Treasuries during the second quarter. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Information presented on 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(g) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(h) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(i) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(j) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 13 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(k) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(l) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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
| | | | |

| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
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.
(m) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(n) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(o) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.225%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately
| | | | |
16 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking
invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Low Duration Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of the direct sovereign debt of the U.S. Government having a maturity of at least 1 year and less than 3 years. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

† 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 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO Low Duration Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities of varying maturities, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements. |
» | | Above-index duration exposure, or sensitivity to changes in market interest rates, during the period detracted from performance as interest rates rose. |
» | | The Portfolio’s emphasis at the shorter-end of the yield curve, mostly through Eurodollar contracts, added to returns as rates on short maturities declined during the period. |
» | | An emphasis on mortgages was slightly negative for returns as the sector slightly underperformed Treasuries on a like-duration basis. |
» | | Exposure to high-yield and corporate bonds was slightly positive for performance as these sectors outperformed Treasuries. |
» | | Low exposure to emerging markets was neutral for performance as the sector slightly outperformed Treasuries on a like-duration basis. |
» | | Tactical exposure to non-U.S. issues, with a focus on shorter-maturity U.K. securities, detracted from returns as these positions underperformed comparable U.S. Treasuries. |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items

are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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

| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 17 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
(j) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(k) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(l) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(m) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an
| | | | |
18 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(n) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.
(o) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $2,189,000 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(p) Commodities Index-Linked/Structured Notes The Portfolio invests in structured notes whose value is based on the price movements of a commodity
index. The structured notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element. The value of these notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities. Fluctuations in value of the structured notes are recorded as unrealized gains and losses on the accompanying financial statements. Net payments are recorded as net realized gains and losses. These notes are subject to prepayment, credit and interest risks. The Portfolio has the option to request prepayment from the issuer. At maturity, or when a note is sold, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss. At June 30, 2007, the value of these securities comprised 0.3% of the Portfolio’s net assets and resulted in unrealized depreciation of $17,003.
(q) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(r) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(s) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may
differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses.

In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.

The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven
of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 21 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Low Duration Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.

Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO Low Duration Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities of varying maturities, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements. |
» | | Above-index duration exposure, or sensitivity to changes in market interest rates, during the period detracted from performance as interest rates rose. |
» | | The Portfolio’s emphasis at the shorter-end of the yield curve, mostly through Eurodollar contracts, added to returns as rates on short maturities declined during the period. |
» | | An emphasis on mortgages was slightly negative for returns as the sector slightly underperformed Treasuries on a like-duration basis. |
» | | Exposure to high-yield and corporate bonds was slightly positive for performance as these sectors outperformed Treasuries. |
» | | Low exposure to emerging markets was neutral for performance as the sector slightly outperformed Treasuries on a like-duration basis. |
» | | Tactical exposure to non-U.S. issues, with a focus on shorter-maturity U.K. securities, detracted from returns as these positions underperformed comparable U.S. Treasuries. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class and Advisor 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items
| | | | |

| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 17 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
(j) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(k) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(l) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(m) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an
| | | | |
18 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(n) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.
(o) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $2,189,000 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(p) Commodities Index-Linked/Structured Notes The Portfolio invests in structured notes whose value is based on the price movements of a commodity
index. The structured notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element. The value of these notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities. Fluctuations in value of the structured notes are recorded as unrealized gains and losses on the accompanying financial statements. Net payments are recorded as net realized gains and losses. These notes are subject to prepayment, credit and interest risks. The Portfolio has the option to request prepayment from the issuer. At maturity, or when a note is sold, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss. At June 30, 2007, the value of these securities comprised 0.3% of the Portfolio’s net assets and resulted in unrealized depreciation of $17,003.
(q) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(r) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(s) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may
differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven
of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 21 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Low Duration Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of the direct Sovereign debt of the U.S. Government having a maturity of at least 1 year and less than 3 years. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Advisor Class annualized expense ratio of 0.75%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO Low Duration Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities of varying maturities, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements. |
» | | Above-index duration exposure, or sensitivity to changes in market interest rates, during the period detracted from performance as interest rates rose. |
» | | The Portfolio’s emphasis at the shorter-end of the yield curve, mostly through Eurodollar contracts, added to returns as rates on short maturities declined during the period. |
» | | An emphasis on mortgages was slightly negative for returns as the sector slightly underperformed Treasuries on a like-duration basis. |
» | | Exposure to high-yield and corporate bonds was slightly positive for performance as these sectors outperformed Treasuries. |
» | | Low exposure to emerging markets was neutral for performance as the sector slightly outperformed Treasuries on a like-duration basis. |
» | | Tactical exposure to non-U.S. issues, with a focus on shorter-maturity U.K. securities, detracted from returns as these positions underperformed comparable U.S. Treasuries. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Advisor Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class and 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items

are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 17 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
(j) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(k) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(l) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(m) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an
| | | | |
18 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(n) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.
(o) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $2,189,000 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(p) Commodities Index-Linked/Structured Notes The Portfolio invests in structured notes whose value is based on the price movements of a commodity
index. The structured notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element. The value of these notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities. Fluctuations in value of the structured notes are recorded as unrealized gains and losses on the accompanying financial statements. Net payments are recorded as net realized gains and losses. These notes are subject to prepayment, credit and interest risks. The Portfolio has the option to request prepayment from the issuer. At maturity, or when a note is sold, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss. At June 30, 2007, the value of these securities comprised 0.3% of the Portfolio’s net assets and resulted in unrealized depreciation of $17,003.
(q) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(r) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(s) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may
differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven
of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 21 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, market risk, issuer risk, non-U.S. investment risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
An investment in the PIMCO Money Market Portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Portfolio.

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Information presented on 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities held by the Portfolio are valued at amortized cost, which approximates current market value.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(d) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(e) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(f) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.15%.

| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.20%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

7. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 11 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate
assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
8. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, market risk, issuer risk, non-U.S. investment risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
An investment in the PIMCO Money Market Portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Portfolio.

Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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 Portfolio, which has a Aaa money market fund rating by Moody’s Investors Service, emphasizes high-quality commercial paper, shorter-term agency and high-quality corporate debt issues due to their potential for strong liquidity, attractive yields and limited credit risks. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Information presented on 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities held by the Portfolio are valued at amortized cost, which approximates current market value.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(d) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(e) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(f) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.15%.

| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.20%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Portfolio may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with a $0.001 par value. Changes in shares of beneficial interest were as follows (shares and amounts in thousands):

7. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 11 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate
assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
8. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Real Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

* Cumulative return.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Lehman Brothers U.S. TIPS Index is an unmanaged market index comprised of all U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities rated investment grade (Baa3 or better), having at least 1 year to final maturity, and at least $250 million par amount outstanding. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deduction for fees or expenses.

† 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 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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 instrumentalities or corporations, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. |
» | | Positioning for a steeper U.S. nominal yield curve added to performance as the U.S. nominal yield curve steepened. |
» | | An emphasis on nominal bonds in the Eurozone benefited performance as nominal bonds outperformed inflation-linked bonds in the region. |
» | | Above-index U.S. real duration was negative for performance as real yields increased. |
» | | Modest exposure to U.K. nominal bonds was negative for performance due to rising interest rates and a tightening bias from the Bank of England. |
» | | Holdings of mortgage-backed securities detracted from performance as mortgage spreads widened. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class and Advisor 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items
| | | | |
16 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(j) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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

| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 17 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(k) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(l) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for
accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(m) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(n) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.

Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(o) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.
(p) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $1,602,246 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The
Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(q) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(r) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(s) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.

3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to
April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against
other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Real Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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 instrumentalities or corporations, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. |
» | | Positioning for a steeper U.S. nominal yield curve added to performance as the U.S. nominal yield curve steepened. |
» | | An emphasis on nominal bonds in the Eurozone benefited performance as nominal bonds outperformed inflation-linked bonds in the region. |
» | | Above-index U.S. real duration was negative for performance as real yields increased. |
» | | Modest exposure to U.K. nominal bonds was negative for performance due to rising interest rates and a tightening bias from the Bank of England. |
» | | Holdings of mortgage-backed securities detracted from performance as mortgage spreads widened. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class and Advisor 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items
| | | | |
16 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(j) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 17 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(k) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(l) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for
accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(m) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(n) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.

Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(o) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.
(p) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $1,602,246 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The
Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(q) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(r) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(s) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.

3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to
April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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.

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against
other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Real Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.

Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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 instrumentalities or corporations, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. |
» | | Positioning for a steeper U.S. nominal yield curve added to performance as the U.S. nominal yield curve steepened. |
» | | An emphasis on nominal bonds in the Eurozone benefited performance as nominal bonds outperformed inflation-linked bonds in the region. |
» | | Above-index U.S. real duration was negative for performance as real yields increased. |
» | | Modest exposure to U.K. nominal bonds was negative for performance due to rising interest rates and a tightening bias from the Bank of England. |
» | | Holdings of mortgage-backed securities detracted from performance as mortgage spreads widened. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Advisor Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class and 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items
| | | | |

| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(j) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 17 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(k) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(l) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for
accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(m) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(n) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.

Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(o) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.
(p) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $1,602,246 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The
Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(q) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(r) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(s) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.

The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to
April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against
other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the RealEstateRealReturn Strategy Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, real estate risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, issuer non-diversification risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments as part of an investment strategy, as described under “Portfolio Insights”, or for hedging purposes. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Investment Trust Index, a subset of the Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index (WRESI), is an unmanaged index comprised of U.S. publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trusts, weighted by full market capitalization. Effective March 1, 2007, the Portfolio began tracking its performance against a float-adjusted version of the Index as real-time calculation of the Index ceased to be disseminated on February 28, 2007.

Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO RealEstateRealReturn Strategy Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in real estate-linked derivative instruments backed by a portfolio of inflation-indexed securities and other fixed-income instruments. |
» | | Returns for Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) generally declined for the period, which detracted from total return performance. |
» | | The Portfolio’s use of Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) as collateral was negative for performance in the first half of the year as TIPS underperformed the assumed one-month LIBOR financing cost of gaining REIT index exposure. |
» | | Positioning for a steeper U.S. nominal yield curve added to performance as the U.S. nominal yield curve steepened. |
» | | An emphasis on nominal bonds in the Eurozone benefited performance as nominal bonds outperformed inflation-linked bonds in the region. |
» | | Holdings of mortgage-backed securities detracted from performance as mortgage spreads widened. |

Notes to Financial Statements
1. ORGANIZATION
The RealEstateRealReturn Strategy 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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers one class of shares: Administrative. Information presented on 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

GBP | | Great British Pound | | SGD | | Singapore Dollar |
(f) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(g) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(h) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.)
(j) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(k) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by
including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(l) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(m) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(n) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(o) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30,
2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.49%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets.

The effective rate paid to AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
(e) Expense Limitation PIMCO has contractually agreed to reduce total annual portfolio operating expenses for the Portfolio by waiving a portion of its administrative fee or reimbursing the Portfolio, to the extent that they would exceed, due to the payment of organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees’ fees, the sum of such Portfolio’s advisory fee, service fees, distribution fees (with respect to Advisor Class only), administrative fees and other expenses borne by the Portfolio not covered by the administrative fee as described above (other than organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees’ fees), plus 0.49 basis points. PIMCO may recoup these waivers and reimbursements for a period not exceeding three years, provided that total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expense limit. As of June 30, 2007, the recoverable amount to the Administrator was $20,992.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and
| | | | |
16 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee
of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Short-Term Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index representing monthly return equivalents of yield averages of the last 3 month Treasury Bill issues. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Administrative Class annualized expense ratio of 0.60%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements. |
» | | U.S. duration exposure, with emphasis at the front end of the yield curve, was the primary detractor from performance as U.S. interest rates trended higher during the first half of 2007. |
» | | Curve steepening strategies enhanced performance as the U.S. Treasury yield curve steepened during the period. |
» | | Positions at the front end of the U.K. and the European yield curves detracted from returns as central banks raised interest rates during the period. |
» | | Exposure to credit sensitive assets, such as mortgages, emerging markets and positive swap spread exposure, detracted from performance as spreads widened. |

Notes to Financial Statements | | June 30, 2007 (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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Information presented on 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 13 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.

(j) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(k) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by
including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(l) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(m) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
default. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(n) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
One type of SMBS has one class receiving all or a portion of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only, or “IO” and/or the high coupon rate with relatively low principal amount, or “IOette” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only, or “PO” class). Payments received for IOs and IOettes are included in interest income on the Statements of Operations. Because little to no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO or IOettes, adjustments are made to the book value of the security on a daily basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income on the Statements of Operations. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities.
(o) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(p) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.20%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the
| | | | |
16 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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.

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages
from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |
$ 14 | | $ (79) | | $ (65) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Short-Term Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements. |
» | | U.S. duration exposure, with emphasis at the front end of the yield curve, was the primary detractor from performance as U.S. interest rates trended higher during the first half of 2007. |
» | | Curve steepening strategies enhanced performance as the U.S. Treasury yield curve steepened during the period. |
» | | Positions at the front end of the U.K. and the European yield curves detracted from returns as central banks raised interest rates during the period. |
» | | Exposure to credit sensitive assets, such as mortgages, emerging markets and positive swap spread exposure, detracted from performance as spreads widened. |

Notes to Financial Statements | | June 30, 2007 (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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Information presented on 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 13 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.

(j) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(k) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by
including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(l) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(m) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
default. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(n) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
One type of SMBS has one class receiving all or a portion of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only, or “IO” and/or the high coupon rate with relatively low principal amount, or “IOette” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only, or “PO” class). Payments received for IOs and IOettes are included in interest income on the Statements of Operations. Because little to no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO or IOettes, adjustments are made to the book value of the security on a daily basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income on the Statements of Operations. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities.
(o) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(p) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.20%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the
| | | | |
16 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages
from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |
$ 14 | | $ (79) | | $ (65) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Small Cap StocksPLUS® TR Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, equity risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments as part of an investment strategy, as described under “Portfolio Insights”, or for hedging purposes. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 31, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Russell 2000® Index is composed of 2,000 of the smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index and is considered to be representative of the small cap market in general. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees, expenses or taxes.

† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Administrative annualized expense ratio of 0.93%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 151/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO Small Cap StocksPLUS® TR Portfolio seeks to exceed the total return of the Russell 2000® Index by investing under normal circumstances substantially all of its assets in Russell 2000® Index derivatives, backed by a diversified portfolio of fixed-income instruments actively managed by PIMCO. |
» | | The Portfolio’s fixed-income portfolio underperformed the financing cost embedded in equity index futures holdings, thus leading the Portfolio to underperform the Russell 2000. |
» | | U.S. duration exposure was negative for performance as interest rates moved higher in instruments where the Portfolio’s duration exposure was concentrated. In particular, Eurodollar futures yields moved higher. Exposure to three-year and longer maturities also detracted from performance as rates moved higher among these maturities. |
» | | Holdings of mortgage-backed securities detracted from performance as they underperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | Credit sensitive holdings, including corporate bonds and emerging market bonds, added value as they outperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | Currency strategies, including long exposure to the euro and a basket of emerging market currencies, helped performance as these currencies appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar. |

Notes to Financial Statements
1. ORGANIZATION
The Small Cap StocksPLUS® TR 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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Advisor 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax
| | | | |

| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(j) Repurchase Agreements The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 13 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
takes possession of an underlying debt obligation (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(k) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 – Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the
Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(l) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for
| | | | |
14 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(m) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(n) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(o) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has
evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.49%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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;
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
(vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class Shares, and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
(e) Expense Limitation PIMCO has contractually agreed to reduce total annual portfolio operating expenses for the Portfolio by waiving a portion of its administrative fee or reimbursing the Portfolio, to the extent that they would exceed, due to the payment of organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees’ fees, the sum of such Portfolio’s advisory fee, service fees, distribution fees (with respect to Advisor Class only), administrative fees and other expenses borne by the Portfolio not covered by the administrative fee as described above (other than organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees’ fees), plus 0.49 basis points. PIMCO may recoup these waivers and reimbursements for a period not exceeding three years, provided that total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expense limit. As of June 30, 2007, there was no recoverable amount.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
U.S. Government/Agency | | | | All Other |

8. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and
| | | | |
16 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee
of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
9. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Small Cap StocksPLUS® TR Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, equity risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments as part of an investment strategy, as described under “Portfolio Insights”, or for hedging purposes. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 31, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Russell 2000® Index is composed of 2,000 of the smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index and is considered to be representative of the small cap market in general. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Advisor Class annualized expense ratio of 1.05%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 151/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO Small Cap StocksPLUS® TR Portfolio seeks to exceed the total return of the Russell 2000® Index by investing under normal circumstances substantially all of its assets in Russell 2000® Index derivatives, backed by a diversified portfolio of fixed-income instruments actively managed by PIMCO. |
» | | The Portfolio’s fixed-income portfolio underperformed the financing cost embedded in equity index futures holdings, thus leading the Portfolio to underperform the Russell 2000. |
» | | U.S. duration exposure was negative for performance as interest rates moved higher in instruments where the Portfolio’s duration exposure was concentrated. In particular, Eurodollar futures yields moved higher. Exposure to three-year and longer maturities also detracted from performance as rates moved higher among these maturities. |
» | | Holdings of mortgage-backed securities detracted from performance as they underperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | Credit sensitive holdings, including corporate bonds and emerging market bonds, added value as they outperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | Currency strategies, including long exposure to the euro and a basket of emerging market currencies, helped performance as these currencies appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar. |

Notes to Financial Statements
1. ORGANIZATION
The Small Cap StocksPLUS® TR 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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Advisor 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax
| | | | |

| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

A foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(j) Repurchase Agreements The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 13 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
takes possession of an underlying debt obligation (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(k) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 – Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the
Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(l) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for
| | | | |
14 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(m) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(n) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(o) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has
evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.49%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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;
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
(vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class Shares, and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
(e) Expense Limitation PIMCO has contractually agreed to reduce total annual portfolio operating expenses for the Portfolio by waiving a portion of its administrative fee or reimbursing the Portfolio, to the extent that they would exceed, due to the payment of organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees’ fees, the sum of such Portfolio’s advisory fee, service fees, distribution fees (with respect to Advisor Class only), administrative fees and other expenses borne by the Portfolio not covered by the administrative fee as described above (other than organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees’ fees), plus 0.49 basis points. PIMCO may recoup these waivers and reimbursements for a period not exceeding three years, provided that total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expense limit. As of June 30, 2007, there was no recoverable amount.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and
| | | | |
16 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee
of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
9. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the StocksPLUS® Growth and Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, equity risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments as part of an investment strategy, as described under “Portfolio Insights”, or for hedging purposes. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

* Cumulative return.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged market index generally considered representative of the stock market as a whole. The index focuses on the large-cap segment of the U.S. equities market. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

Expenses Paid During Period† | | $ | 2.82 | | $ | 2.76 |
† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Administrative Class annualized expense ratio of 0.55%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO StocksPLUS® Growth and Income Portfolio seeks to exceed the total return of the S&P 500 by investing under normal circumstances substantially all of its assets in S&P 500 derivatives, backed by a portfolio of fixed-income instruments. |
» | | The Portfolio’s fixed-income portfolio underperformed the financing cost embedded in equity index futures holdings, thus leading the Portfolio to underperform the S&P 500. |
» | | U.S. duration exposure was negative for performance as interest rates moved higher in instruments where the Portfolio’s duration exposure was concentrated. In particular, Eurodollar futures yields moved higher. |
» | | A U.S. yield curve strategy involving short positions in longer duration (7+ year duration) instruments partially offset the negative duration impact as these rates moved higher, generating a positive price return. |
» | | Short maturity (less than one year) exposures in Europe, the U.K. and Japan were also negative for performance as upward rate movements were pronounced in these markets. |
» | | Holdings of mortgage-backed securities detracted from performance as they underperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | Credit sensitive holdings, including corporate bonds and emerging market bonds, added value as they outperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | Currency strategies, including long exposure to the euro and a basket of emerging market currencies, helped performance as these currencies appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar. |

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax
| | | | |

| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(j) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(k) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(l) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(m) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(n) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.
(o) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $300,421 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(p) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(q) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(r) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.

3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.30%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.10%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of
$500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
U.S. Government/Agency | | | | All Other |
Purchases | | Sales | | | | Purchases | | Sales |
$ | 14,406 | | $ | 13,974 | | | | $ | 24,307 | | $ | 4,293 |

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005,
the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |
$ 131 | | $ (686) | | $ (555) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the StocksPLUS® Growth and Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, equity risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments as part of an investment strategy, as described under “Portfolio Insights”, or for hedging purposes. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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 PIMCO StocksPLUS® Growth and Income Portfolio seeks to exceed the total return of the S&P 500 by investing under normal circumstances substantially all of its assets in S&P 500 derivatives, backed by a portfolio of fixed-income instruments. |
» | | The Portfolio’s fixed-income portfolio underperformed the financing cost embedded in equity index futures holdings, thus leading the Portfolio to underperform the S&P 500. |
» | | U.S. duration exposure was negative for performance as interest rates moved higher in instruments where the Portfolio’s duration exposure was concentrated. In particular, Eurodollar futures yields moved higher. |
» | | A U.S. yield curve strategy involving short positions in longer duration (7+ year duration) instruments partially offset the negative duration impact as these rates moved higher, generating a positive price return. |
» | | Short maturity (less than one year) exposures in Europe, the U.K. and Japan were also negative for performance as upward rate movements were pronounced in these markets. |
» | | Holdings of mortgage-backed securities detracted from performance as they underperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | Credit sensitive holdings, including corporate bonds and emerging market bonds, added value as they outperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | Currency strategies, including long exposure to the euro and a basket of emerging market currencies, helped performance as these currencies appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar. |

Notes to Financial Statements
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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Information presented on 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax
| | | | |

| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(j) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(k) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(l) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(m) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(n) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.
(o) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $300,421 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(p) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(q) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(r) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.

3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.30%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.10%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of
$500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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.

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005,
the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |
$ 131 | | $ (686) | | $ (555) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the StocksPLUS® Total Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, equity risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments as part of an investment strategy, as described under “Portfolio Insights”, or for hedging purposes. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

* Cumulative return.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged market index generally considered representative of the stock market as a whole. The index focuses on the large-cap segment of the U.S. equities market. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

Expenses Paid During Period† | | $ | 4.27 | | $ | 4.21 |
† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Administrative Class annualized expense ratio of 0.84%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO StocksPLUS® Total Return Portfolio seeks to exceed the total return of the S&P 500 by investing under normal circumstances substantially all of its assets in S&P 500 derivatives, backed by a portfolio of fixed-income instruments. |
» | | The Portfolio’s fixed-income portfolio underperformed the financing cost embedded in equity index futures holdings, thus leading the Portfolio to underperform the S&P 500. |
» | | U.S. duration exposure was negative for performance as interest rates moved higher in instruments where the Portfolio’s duration exposure was concentrated. In particular, Eurodollar futures yields moved higher. Exposure to three-year and longer maturities also detracted from performance as rates moved higher among these maturities. |
» | | Holdings of mortgage-backed securities detracted from performance as they underperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | Credit sensitive holdings, including corporate bonds and emerging market bonds, added value as they outperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | Currency strategies, including long exposure to the euro and a basket of emerging market currencies, helped performance as these currencies appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar. |

Notes to Financial Statements
1. ORGANIZATION
The StocksPLUS® 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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers one class of shares: Administrative. Information presented on 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information,
bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to
| | | | |
12 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(f) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(g) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(h) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(i) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 13 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(j) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(k) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement
| | | | |
14 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(l) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(m) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(n) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.44%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
(e) Expense Limitation PIMCO has contractually agreed to reduce total annual portfolio operating expenses for the Portfolio by waiving a portion of its administrative fee or reimbursing the Portfolio, to the extent that they would exceed, due to the payment of organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees’ fees, the sum of such Portfolio’s advisory fee, service fees, distribution fees (with respect to Advisor Class only), administrative fees and other expenses borne by the Portfolio not covered by the administrative fee as described above (other than organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees’ fees), plus 0.49 basis points. PIMCO may recoup these waivers and reimbursements for a period not exceeding three years, provided that total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expense limit. As of June 30, 2007, the recoverable amount to the Administrator was $8,547.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the
| | | | |
16 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action
in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the
subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
9. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Total Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

* Cumulative return.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index represents securities that are taxable and U.S. dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

Expenses Paid During Period† | | $ | 3.23 | | $ | 3.26 |
† 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 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. |
» | | The Portfolio’s above-benchmark duration detracted from returns as yields rose in the first half of the year. |
» | | An emphasis on the front-end of the U.S. yield curve contributed to returns as the curve steepened as measured by the difference between two- and 30-year yields. |
» | | A slight overweight to mortgage-backed securities for the majority of the period detracted from returns as this sector underperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | An underweight to corporate securities detracted from returns as the sector outperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | An allocation to major non-U.S. markets moderately detracted from returns as developed countries underperformed Treasuries. |
» | | Emerging market and high-yield bonds added to performance as strong demand for their attractive yields allowed these sectors to outperform like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | Moderate exposure to a broad basket of currencies boosted returns as most emerging and developed market currencies appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar. |

Notes to Financial Statements | | June 30, 2007 (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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class and Advisor 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 17 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(j) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(k) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(l) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters
acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(m) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(n) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 19 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(o) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.
(p) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $8,059,500 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(q) Commodities Index-Linked/Structured Notes The Portfolio invests in structured notes whose value is based on the price movements of a commodity index. The structured notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element. The value of these notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities. Fluctuations in value of the structured notes are recorded as unrealized gains and losses on the accompanying financial statements. Net payments are recorded as net realized gains and losses. These notes are subject to prepayment, credit and interest risks. The Portfolio has the option to request prepayment from the issuer. At maturity, or when a note is sold, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss. At June 30, 2007, the value of these securities comprised 0.3% of the Portfolio’s net assets and resulted in unrealized depreciation of $56,678.
(r) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(s) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

(t) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 21 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred
| | | | |
22 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |
$ 4,959 | | $ (57,464) | | $ (52,505) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Total Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

** The Portfolio began operations on 04/10/00. Index comparisons began on 03/31/00.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index represents securities that are taxable and U.S. dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

Expenses Paid During Period† | | $ | 2.48 | | $ | 2.51 |
† 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 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. |
» | | The Portfolio’s above-benchmark duration detracted from returns as yields rose in the first half of the year. |
» | | An emphasis on the front-end of the U.S. yield curve contributed to returns as the curve steepened as measured by the difference between two- and 30-year yields. |
» | | A slight overweight to mortgage-backed securities for the majority of the period detracted from returns as this sector underperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | An underweight to corporate securities detracted from returns as the sector outperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | An allocation to major non-U.S. markets moderately detracted from returns as developed countries underperformed Treasuries. |
» | | Emerging market and high-yield bonds added to performance as strong demand for their attractive yields allowed these sectors to outperform like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | Moderate exposure to a broad basket of currencies boosted returns as most emerging and developed market currencies appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar. |

Notes to Financial Statements | | June 30, 2007 (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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class and Advisor 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax

| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 17 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(j) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(k) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(l) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters
acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(m) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(n) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 19 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(o) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.
(p) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $8,059,500 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(q) Commodities Index-Linked/Structured Notes The Portfolio invests in structured notes whose value is based on the price movements of a commodity index. The structured notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element. The value of these notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities. Fluctuations in value of the structured notes are recorded as unrealized gains and losses on the accompanying financial statements. Net payments are recorded as net realized gains and losses. These notes are subject to prepayment, credit and interest risks. The Portfolio has the option to request prepayment from the issuer. At maturity, or when a note is sold, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss. At June 30, 2007, the value of these securities comprised 0.3% of the Portfolio’s net assets and resulted in unrealized depreciation of $56,678.
(r) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(s) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

(t) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 21 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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.

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred
| | | | |
22 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |
$ 4,959 | | $ (57,464) | | $ (52,505) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Total Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, high yield risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, non-U.S. investment risk, emerging markets risk, currency risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it 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 increased when investing in emerging markets.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative and Advisor 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

* Cumulative return.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index represents securities that are taxable and U.S. dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.
| | | | | | |
Expense Example | | Actual Performance | | Hypothetical Performance |
| | | | (5% return before expenses) |
Beginning Account Value (01/01/07) | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,000.00 |
Ending Account Value (06/30/07) | | $ | 1,003.23 | | $ | 1,021.08 |
Expenses Paid During Period† | | $ | 3.73 | | $ | 3.76 |
† Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Advisor Class annualized expense ratio of 0.75%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. |
» | | The Portfolio’s above-benchmark duration detracted from returns as yields rose in the first half of the year. |
» | | An emphasis on the front-end of the U.S. yield curve contributed to returns as the curve steepened as measured by the difference between two- and 30-year yields. |
» | | A slight overweight to mortgage-backed securities for the majority of the period detracted from returns as this sector underperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | An underweight to corporate securities detracted from returns as the sector outperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | An allocation to major non-U.S. markets moderately detracted from returns as developed countries underperformed Treasuries. |
» | | Emerging market and high-yield bonds added to performance as strong demand for their attractive yields allowed these sectors to outperform like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | Moderate exposure to a broad basket of currencies boosted returns as most emerging and developed market currencies appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar. |

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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Institutional, Administrative and Advisor. Information presented on these financial statements pertains to the Advisor Class of the Portfolio. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class and 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Delayed-Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a 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 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax

| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 17 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on 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.
(e) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(f) Foreign Currency The functional and reporting currency for the Portfolio is the U.S. dollar. 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 currency holdings and other 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 effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated on 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.

(g) Foreign Currency Transactions The Portfolio may enter into foreign 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 foreign 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 foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign 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. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the 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.
(h) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) 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 on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
(j) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(k) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(l) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters
acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(m) 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. Securities sold in short sale transactions and interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
(n) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 19 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(o) Loan Participations and Assignments The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owned by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers 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 of the loan. At the end of the period June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had no unfunded loan commitments.
(p) Bridge Debt Commitments At the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio had $8,059,500 in commitments outstanding to fund high yield bridge debt. The Portfolio is entitled to a fee upon the expiration of the commitment period. The bridge debt terms approximate market rates at the time the commitment is entered into.
(q) Commodities Index-Linked/Structured Notes The Portfolio invests in structured notes whose value is based on the price movements of a commodity index. The structured notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element. The value of these notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the underlying commodity index. Structured notes may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities. Fluctuations in value of the structured notes are recorded as unrealized gains and losses on the accompanying financial statements. Net payments are recorded as net realized gains and losses. These notes are subject to prepayment, credit and interest risks. The Portfolio has the option to request prepayment from the issuer. At maturity, or when a note is sold, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss. At June 30, 2007, the value of these securities comprised 0.3% of the Portfolio’s net assets and resulted in unrealized depreciation of $56,678.
(r) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(s) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

(t) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.

The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan, for the Advisor Class shares of the Portfolio (the “Plan”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan permits payments for expenses in connection with the distribution and marketing of Advisor Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Advisor Class shareholders. The Plan permits the Portfolio to make total payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class shares.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 21 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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, 2007, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred
| | | | |
22 | | PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust | | |
| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |
$ 4,959 | | $ (57,464) | | $ (52,505) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Total Return Portfolio II (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

Expense Example | | Actual Performance | | Hypothetical Performance |
| | | | (5% return before expenses) |
Beginning Account Value (01/01/07) | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,000.00 |
Ending Account Value (06/30/07) | | $ | 996.77 | | $ | 1,021.57 |
Expenses Paid During Period† | | $ | 3.22 | | $ | 3.26 |
† 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 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. The Portfolio may invest only in investment grade U.S. dollar-denominated securities of U.S. issuers that are rated at least Baa by Moody’s, or equivalently rated by S&P or Fitch, or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. |
» | | The Portfolio’s above-benchmark duration detracted from returns as yields rose in the first half of the year. |
» | | An emphasis on the front-end of the U.S. yield curve contributed to returns as the curve steepened as measured by the difference between two- and 30-year yields. |
» | | A slight underweight to mortgage-backed securities for the majority of the period helped returns as this sector underperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | An underweight to corporate securities detracted from returns as the sector outperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | A small allocation to municipal bonds was negative for returns as municipal bond yields increased more than U.S. Treasury yields during the period. |

Notes to Financial Statements | | June 30, 2007 (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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Information presented on 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 11 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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.
(d) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(e) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(f) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(g) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(h) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse
| | | | |

| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(i) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio
will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(j) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(k) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the

| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 13 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(l) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES

(“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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;

The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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.

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by
affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust’s net assets were $8.68 billion at June 30, 2007, as compared to $7.76 billion at December 31, 2006.
Highlights of the financial markets during the reporting period include:
| n | | Economic data during the first quarter of 2007 pointed to slower growth, which heightened market expectations for a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate. By the second quarter, economic data, such as employment statistics, provided little indication of economic weakness, causing expectations of a decrease in the Federal Funds Rate to unwind and U.S. interest rates to move higher. Interest rates in Europe and the U.K. also rose over the period as central banks raised their key lending rates due to inflation concerns. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yielded 5.03% as of June 30, 2007, or 0.32% higher than at the beginning of the year. |
| n | | Most bonds generally returned much of their gains from earlier in the year as worldwide growth and capital flows drove interest rates higher in the second quarter. Increased risk aversion in global financial markets, due in part to subprime mortgage worries in the U.S., also contributed to the rise in interest rates. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which includes Treasury, investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities, returned 0.98% for the six-month period. |
| n | | Locally issued emerging market (“EM”) bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. Yields on these bonds declined and the local currencies in which they are denominated generally gained, amid increasing investor awareness, strong economic growth and surging capital inflows. External EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and typically denominated in U.S. dollars) lagged behind local EM bonds (debt instruments issued by emerging markets countries and denominated in the currency of the issuer), as external EM bonds tend to trade more in-line with U.S. Treasuries. |
| n | | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outpaced nominal bonds (non-inflation linked bonds) for the first part of the year and all but the longest maturity TIPS outperformed in the second quarter as high gasoline prices drove higher inflation accruals. Commodities, as represented by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index, returned 4.46% for the period. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 6.96% and 6.45%, respectively, for the period. |
On the following pages, please find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust

Important Information About the Portfolio
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of twenty separate investment portfolios, including the Total Return Portfolio II (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies (“Variable Contracts”). Individuals may not purchase shares of the Portfolio directly. Shares of the Portfolio also may be sold to qualified pension and retirement plans outside of the separate account context.
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 would 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 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: credit risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, mortgage risk, leveraging risk and management risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. 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 the Portfolio could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Because the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, it could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments.
On the performance summary page in this Semiannual Report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank 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 Portfolio.
PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Portfolio. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Portfolio, and information about how the Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
The Portfolio files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is also available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330, and is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-866-746-2606 and on the Portfolio’s website at www.pimco.com.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example (“Example” or “Expense Example”), which appears in this Semiannual 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 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 Expense Example does not reflect any fees or other expenses imposed by the Variable Contracts. If it did, the expenses reflected in the Expense Example would be higher. 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 January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the row titled “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.
The expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees (such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel, litigation expense and interest expense).

** The Portfolio began operations on 04/10/00. Index comparisons began on 03/31/00.
Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in Variable Contracts, which will reduce returns. 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.
± Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index represents securities that are taxable and U.S. dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The index does not reflect deductions for fees and expenses.

† 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 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Overall fees and expenses of investing in the Portfolio will be higher because the example does not reflect Variable Contract fees and expenses.
Please refer to page 3 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the above Expense Example.
Portfolio Insights
» | | The PIMCO 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, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. The Portfolio may invest only in investment grade U.S. dollar-denominated securities of U.S. issuers that are rated at least Baa by Moody’s, or equivalently rated by S&P or Fitch, or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. |
» | | The Portfolio’s above-benchmark duration detracted from returns as yields rose in the first half of the year. |
» | | An emphasis on the front-end of the U.S. yield curve contributed to returns as the curve steepened as measured by the difference between two- and 30-year yields. |
» | | A slight underweight to mortgage-backed securities for the majority of the period helped returns as this sector underperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | An underweight to corporate securities detracted from returns as the sector outperformed like-duration Treasuries. |
» | | A small allocation to municipal bonds was negative for returns as municipal bond yields increased more than U.S. Treasury yields during the period. |

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 management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Information presented on 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Security Valuation Portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. With respect to any portion of the Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open end management investment companies, the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s securities may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.
When the Portfolio uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days of the Portfolio, the NAV of the Portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Portfolio shares. 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.
(b) Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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, which 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between
| | | | | | |
| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 11 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
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.
(d) Multiclass Operations Each class offered by the Portfolio has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include administrative, distribution and servicing fees.
(e) Futures Contracts The Portfolio may 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 is required to deposit with its 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(f) 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 on the 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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.
(g) 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 (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
(h) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions—Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (“RIBs”)/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (“RITEs”) The Portfolio may invest in RIBs and RITEs (“Inverse Floaters”). Inverse Floaters are created via a master trust agreement between a broker-dealer, acting as trustor and liquidity provider, and an investment bank, acting as trustee and tender agent. The master trust agreement defines the terms for each trust series; with each series being established by the transfer of long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds (“Fixed Rate Bonds”) to the trustee to be held and provide for the creation, execution and delivery of floater certificates (“Floating Rate Notes”) and Inverse Floaters. Floating Rate Notes are liquid notes that are issued with a short-term variable rate typically linked to the LIBOR, subject to limitations, for some duration. After interest income is paid on the Floating Rate Notes at current rates, the residual income from the Fixed Rate Bonds is paid to the Inverse Floaters. Inverse Floaters are issued with a coupon that fluctuates inversely with the Floating Rate Notes’ referenced rate, subject to certain limitations. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the Inverse Floaters and vice versa.
Floating Rate Notes are generally remarketed to municipal money market funds. Inverse Floaters are acquired by either tax-exempt municipal bond funds or trusts, or other parties interested in potentially higher yielding tax-exempt securities. Inverse Floaters may also be acquired for the purpose of increasing leverage. Floating Rate Note holders typically have the option to tender their notes to the liquidity provider for redemption at par at each reset date. The Inverse Floater holders have the option to (i) require the Floating Rate Note holders to tender their notes at par, and (ii) require the liquidity provider to transfer the Fixed Rate Bonds to the Inverse Floater holders. The holders of Inverse Floaters bear substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds, and also benefit from a disproportionate amount of the potential appreciation of the underlying Fixed Rate Bonds’ value. Inverse Floaters may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity.
Inverse Floaters may be acquired with or without first transferring to the trustor the Fixed Rate Bonds that were utilized to create the trust series. Inverse Floaters acquired without a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds are recognized as purchases of securities as outlined in Note 2(b). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140—Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS No. 140”), governs the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. If there is a transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds and it meets sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio records a sale of the Fixed Rate Bonds and a purchase of the Inverse
| | | | |

| | |
| |
| | June 30, 2007 (Unaudited) |
Floaters. The cash received from the Inverse Floaters is then recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
If the transfer of Fixed Rate Bonds does not meet sale criteria under FAS No. 140, a Portfolio accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bonds in its Schedule of Investments, and recording the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes” in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In a secured borrowing transaction, cash received from the Inverse Floaters is not recorded as interest income. Instead, a Portfolio records interest income related to the Fixed Rate Bonds and interest expense related to the Floating Rate Notes, the net of which is equal to the cash received from the Inverse Floaters acquired by the Portfolio. Thus, while a Portfolio’s reported total income, net expenses, and net expense ratio are generally higher for investments in Inverse Floaters acquired via a secured borrowing, the method of acquiring Inverse Floaters does not result in differences for reported cash flows, net asset value or total return.
(i) Swap Agreements The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward spread-lock, credit default, and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.
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. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, or (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
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.
Credit default swap agreements involve one party making 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 the 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. As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio
will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of the security. As the seller, the Portfolio would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs. The treatment of credit default swaps and other swap agreements that provide for contingent, non-periodic, bullet-type payments as “notional principal contracts” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. Were the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to take the position that a credit default swap or other bullet-type swap is not a “notional principal contract” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, payments received by the Portfolio from such investments might be subject to U.S. excise or income taxes.
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 on 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. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain or 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.
(j) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(k) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(l) New Accounting Policies In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation became effective for the Portfolio on June 29, 2007. Management has evaluated the application of the Interpretation in relation to the Portfolio and has concluded that no single filing position or combination of filing positions identified as uncertain tax positions required the accrual of a tax liability in the accounting records of the Portfolio for the period ending June 30, 2007. Management will monitor all existing filing positions and future filing positions in light of the Interpretation and evaluate the need for any future tax accruals and financial statement disclosures as warranted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (the “Statement”). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will require expanded disclosure about fair value measurements, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that enables shareholders to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs the effect of the measurements on changes in net assets for the reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Statement to the Portfolio and will provide additional information in relation to the Statement on the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
3. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Investment Advisory Fee PIMCO is a majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Portfolio, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets. The Advisory Fee for all classes is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
(b) 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 each share class’s average daily net assets. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the costs of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Administration Fee for all classes is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI and serves as the distributor (the “Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse AGID 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 AGID was 0.15% during the current fiscal year.
(d) Portfolio 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 costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses 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 the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
Effective April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $2,375 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person, $500 for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 and each other committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the various portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates. Prior to April 1, 2007, each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, received an annual retainer of $15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended ($500 for each special meeting attended), plus reimbursement of related expenses. The Audit Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $1,500 and the Governance Committee Chairman received an annual retainer of $500. In addition, each member of a committee received $500 for each committee meeting attended.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties as defined by FAS 57, Related Party Disclosures. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 3.
5. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time the Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the 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.

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
Since February 2004, PIMCO, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (PIMCO’s parent company), AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds (another series of funds managed by PIMCO), the Allianz Funds (formerly known as PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (another series of funds managed by
affiliates of PIMCO)), certain Trustees of the Trust (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMCO Funds or the Allianz Funds) and certain employees of PIMCO, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, certain PIMCO Funds Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds itself against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote funds of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and PIMCO Funds has been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In April 2006, certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO were served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. In July 2004, PIMCO was named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO are alleged to be holders. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders—including certain portfolios of the Trust and certain other funds managed by PIMCO—were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the

| | Semiannual Report | | June 30, 2007 | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien. On June 21, 2006, the District of New Jersey overturned the Bankruptcy Court’s decision granting permission to file the adversary proceeding and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. Following a motion to reconsider, the District Court upheld its remand on August 7, 2006, and instructed the Bankruptcy Court to conduct a “cost-benefit” analysis of the Committee’s claims, including the claims against the noteholders. The Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on October 25, 2006 and set a briefing schedule relating to this cost-benefit analysis.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased portfolio redemptions or other adverse consequences to the Portfolio. However, PIMCO and AGID believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio or on PIMCO’s or AGID’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services relating to the Portfolio.
10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) 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.
As of June 30, 2007, 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 (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized (Depreciation) |

Privacy Policy* | | (Unaudited) |
The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.
Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.
* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).
