Letter from the Chair of the Board & President
Dear Shareholder,
2022 was a challenging year in the financial markets. We continue to work tirelessly to navigate global markets and manage the assets that you have entrusted with us. Following this letter is the PIMCO Interval Fund’s Semiannual Report, which covers the six-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”). On the subsequent pages, you will find details regarding investment results and a discussion of the factors that most affected performance during the reporting period.
For the six-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022
The global economy faced significant headwinds in 2022, including those related to higher inflation, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In the U.S., second quarter 2022, prior to the beginning of the reporting period, annualized gross domestic product (“GDP”) was -0.6%. The economy then strengthened, as third quarter annualized GDP was +3.2%. The Commerce Department’s initial estimate for fourth quarter 2022 annualized GDP — released after the reporting period ended — was 2.9%.
The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed” or “U.S. central bank”) took actions to combat elevated inflation. In March 2022, the Fed raised the federal funds rate 0.25% to a range between 0.25% and 0.50%, its first rate hike since 2018. The U.S. central bank then raised rates at its next six meetings, for a total increase of 4.25% in 2022. At the end of the year, the federal funds rate was in a range between 4.25% and 4.50%.
Economies outside the U.S. also faced several headwinds. In its October 2022 World Economic Outlook Update, the International Monetary Fund (the “IMF”) downgraded its expectation for 2022 GDP citing “turbulent challenges” including high inflation, tightening financial conditions, as well as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and COVID-19 pandemic. For 2022, the IMF included in its projections that GDP would grow 1.6% in the U.S. (from 5.7% in 2021), 3.1% in the eurozone (from 5.2% in 2021), 3.6% in the U.K. (from 7.4% in 2021), and 1.7% in Japan (the same as in 2021).
Several central banks tightened their respective monetary policies in recent years. For example, in December 2021, prior to the beginning of the reporting period, the Bank of England (the “BoE”) raised rates for the first time since COVID-19 began. The BoE again raised rates at its next eight meetings, for a total of 3.50% in rate hikes since its first increase. The European Central Bank raised rates four times in 2022, for a total increase of 2.50%. In contrast, the Bank of Japan (the “BoJ”) maintained its loose monetary policy for most of 2022. However, in December 2022 the BoJ announced that it would allow its 10-year government bond yield to rise to 0.5% (previously limited to 0.25%). The news sent the 10-year bond yield and Japanese yen higher, as market participants interpreted the announcement to mean that the BoJ may pivot from its previous monetary stance.
During the reporting period, short- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields moved higher. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was 3.88% on December 31, 2022, versus 2.98% on June 30, 2022. The Bloomberg Global Treasury Index (USD Hedged), which tracks fixed-rate, local currency government debt of investment grade countries, including developed and emerging markets, returned -2.97%. Meanwhile, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Credit Index (USD Hedged), a widely used index of global investment grade credit bonds, returned -1.59%. In contrast, riskier fixed income asset classes, including high yield corporate bonds and emerging market debt, generated positive returns. The ICE BofAML Developed Markets High Yield Constrained Index (USD Hedged), a widely used index of below-investment-grade bonds, returned 3.82%, whereas emerging market external debt, as represented by the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global (USD Hedged), returned 2.93%. Emerging market local bonds, as represented by the JPMorgan Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets Global Diversified Index (Unhedged), returned 3.33%.
Amid periods of volatility, global equities generally posted mixed results during the reporting period as economic and geopolitical concerns impacted investor sentiment. U.S. equities, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, returned 2.31%. Global equities, as represented by the MSCI World Index, returned 2.97%, while emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, returned -2.99%. Meanwhile, Japanese equities, as represented by the Nikkei 225 Index (in Japanese yen), returned -0.06% and European equities, as represented by the MSCI Europe Index (in euro), returned 5.05%.
Commodity prices were volatile and generated mixed returns during the reporting period. Brent crude oil, which was approximately $119.78 a barrel at the start of the reporting period, fell to roughly $82.82 a barrel at the end of December 2022. In contrast, prices of other commodities, such as copper and gold, edged higher during the period.
Finally, there were also periods of volatility in the foreign exchange markets. We believe this was driven by several factors, including economic growth expectations and changing central bank monetary policies, as well as rising inflation, COVID-19 variants, and geopolitical events. The U.S. dollar was mixed against several major currencies. For example, during the reporting period, the U.S. dollar returned -2.11%, +0.78%, and -3.51% versus the euro, the British pound and the Japanese yen, respectively.
Thank you for the assets you have placed with us. We deeply value your trust, and we will continue to work diligently to meet your broad investment needs. For any questions regarding your PIMCO Interval Funds investments, please contact your financial advisor, or call the Funds at (844) 312-2113.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Unless otherwise noted, index returns reflect the reinvestment of income distributions and capital gains, if any, but do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions or other expenses of investing. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.
Important Information About the Funds
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 and other instruments held by a Fund are likely to decrease in value. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates or yields of U.S. Treasury securities (or yields of other types of bonds) to rise (e.g., central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions). In addition, changes in interest rates can be sudden and unpredictable, and there is no guarantee that Fund management will anticipate such movement accurately. A Fund may lose money as a result of movements in interest rates.
As of the date of this report, interest rates in the United States and many parts of the world, including certain European countries, continue to increase. In efforts to combat inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates multiple times in 2022 and has indicated an expectation that it will continue to raise interest rates in 2023. Thus, the Funds currently face a heightened level of risk associated with rising interest rates and/or bond yields. This could be driven by a variety of factors, including but not limited to central bank monetary policies, changing inflation or real growth rates, general economic conditions, increasing bond issuances or reduced market demand for low yielding investments. Further, while bond markets have steadily grown over the past three decades, dealer inventories of corporate bonds are near historic lows in relation to market size. As a result, there has been a significant reduction in the ability of dealers to “make markets.”
Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. All of the factors mentioned above, individually or collectively, could lead to increased volatility and/or lower liquidity in the fixed income markets or negatively impact a Fund’s performance or cause a Fund to incur losses.
Classifications of the Funds’ portfolio holdings in this report are made according to financial reporting standards. The classification of a particular portfolio holding as shown in the Allocation Breakdown and Schedule of Investments and other sections of this report may differ from the classification used for the Funds’ compliance calculations, including those used in the Funds’ prospectus, investment objectives, regulatory, and other investment limitations and policies, which may be based on different asset class, sector or geographical classifications. Each Fund is separately monitored for compliance with respect to prospectus and regulatory requirements.
The geographical classification of foreign (non-U.S.) securities in this report, if any, are classified by the country of incorporation of a holding. In certain instances, a security’s country of incorporation may be different from its country of economic exposure.
Beginning in January 2020, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. In 2022, many countries lifted some or all restrictions related to COVID-19. However, the effects of COVID-19 have and may continue to adversely affect the global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers, all of which may negatively impact a Fund’s performance. In addition, COVID-19 and governmental responses to COVID-19 may negatively impact the capabilities of the Funds’ service providers and disrupt the Funds’ operations.

Important Information About the Funds (Cont.)
The United States’ enforcement of restrictions on U.S. investments in certain issuers and tariffs on goods from certain other countries has contributed to and may continue to contribute to international trade tensions and may impact portfolio securities. The United States’ enforcement of sanctions or other similar measures on various Russian entities and persons, and the Russian government’s response, may also negatively impact securities and instruments that are economically tied to Russia.
The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union may impact Fund returns. The withdrawal may cause substantial volatility in foreign exchange markets, lead to weakness in the exchange rate of the British pound, result in a sustained period of market uncertainty, and destabilize some or all of the other European Union member countries and/or the Eurozone.
The Funds may invest in certain instruments that rely in some fashion upon the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is an average interest rate, determined by the ICE Benchmark Administration, that banks charge one another for the use of short-term money. The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, has announced plans to ultimately phase out the use of LIBOR. There remains uncertainty regarding future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate (e.g., the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR and measures the cost of overnight borrowings through repurchase agreement transactions collateralized with U.S. Treasury securities). Any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on a Fund or on certain instruments in which a Fund invests can be difficult to ascertain, and they may vary depending on a variety of factors. Any such effects of the transition away from LIBOR, as well as other unforeseen effects, could result in losses to a Fund.
The Funds may be subject to various risks as described in each Fund’s prospectus and in the Principal and Other Risks in the Notes to Financial Statements.
On each Fund Summary page in this Shareholder Report, the Average Annual Total Return table measures performance assuming that any dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Total return is calculated by determining the percentage change in NAV in the specific period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on (i) Fund distributions or (ii) the sale of Fund shares. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return. Performance shown is net of fees and expenses. Historical performance for a Fund or share class thereof may have been positively impacted by fee waivers or expense limitations in place during some or all of the periods shown, if applicable. Future performance (including total return or yield) and distributions may be negatively impacted by the expiration or reduction of any such fee waivers or expense limitations.
The dividend rate that a Fund pays on its common shares may vary as portfolio and market conditions change, and will depend on a number of factors, including without limit the amount of the Fund’s undistributed net investment income and net short- and long-term capital gains, as well as the costs of any leverage obtained by a Fund. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions on the common shares and a Fund’s dividend policy could change. There can be no assurance that a change in market conditions or other factors will not result in a change in a Fund’s distribution rate or that the rate will be sustainable in the future.

An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The Trustees are responsible generally for overseeing the management of the Funds. The Trustees authorize the Funds to enter into service agreements with Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) and other service providers in order to provide, and in some cases authorize service providers to procure through other parties, necessary or desirable services on behalf of the Funds. Shareholders are not parties to or third-party beneficiaries of such service agreements. Neither a Fund’s prospectus or Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), any press release or shareholder report, any contracts filed as exhibits to the Funds’ registration statement, nor any other communications, disclosure documents or regulatory filings (including this report) from or on behalf of the Funds creates a contract between or among any shareholders of a Fund, on the one hand, and the Funds, a service provider to a Fund, and/or the Trustees or officers of the Funds, on the other hand.
The Trustees (or the Funds and its officers, service providers or other delegates acting under authority of the Trustees) may amend its most recent prospectus or use a new prospectus or SAI with respect to the Funds, adopt and disclose new or amended policies and other changes in press releases and shareholder reports and/or amend, file and/or issue any other communications, disclosure documents or regulatory filings, and may amend or enter into any contracts to which a Fund is a party, and interpret the investment objective(s), policies, restrictions and contractual provisions applicable to a Fund, without shareholder input or approval, except in circumstances in which shareholder approval is specifically required by law (such as changes to fundamental investment policies) or where a shareholder approval requirement was specifically disclosed in the Funds’ prospectus, SAI or shareholder report and is otherwise still in effect.
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 Funds as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Funds.
A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of each Fund, and information about how each Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30th, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Funds at (844) 312-2113, on the Funds’ website at www.pimco.com, and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website at www.sec.gov.
The Funds file portfolio holdings information with the SEC on Form N-PORT within 60 days of the end of each fiscal quarter. The Funds’ complete schedule of securities holdings as of the end of each fiscal quarter will be made available to the public on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on PIMCO’s website at www.pimco.com, and will be made available, upon request, by calling PIMCO at (844) 312-2113.

Important Information About the Funds (Cont.)
SEC rules allow shareholder reports to be delivered to investors by providing access to such reports online free of charge and by mailing a notice that the report is electronically available. Investors may elect to receive all reports in paper free of charge by contacting their financial intermediary or, if invested directly with a Fund, investors can inform the Fund by calling (844) 312-2113. Any election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with a fund complex if invested directly with a Fund or to all funds held in the investor’s account if invested through a financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank.
In April 2020, the SEC adopted amended rules modifying the registration, communications, and offering processes for registered closed-end funds and interval funds. Among other things, the amendments: (1) permit qualifying closed-end funds to use a short-form registration statement to offer securities in eligible transactions and certain funds to qualify as Well Known Seasoned Issuers; (2) permit interval funds to pay registration fees based on net issuance of shares in a manner similar to mutual funds; (3) require closed-end funds and interval funds to include additional disclosures in their annual reports; and (4) require certain information to be filed in interactive data format. The new rules have phased compliance dates, with some requirements having already taken effect and others requiring compliance as late as February 1, 2023.
In October 2020, the SEC adopted a rule related to the use of derivatives, short sales, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions by registered investment companies that rescinds and withdraws prior guidance of the SEC and its staff regarding asset segregation and cover transactions. Subject to certain exceptions, the rule requires funds that trade derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations to comply with a value-at-risk leverage limit and certain derivatives risk management program and reporting requirements. These requirements may limit the ability of the Funds to use derivatives and reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions as part of its investment strategies and may increase the cost of the Funds’ investments and cost of doing business, which could adversely affect investors. The rule went into effect on February 19, 2021. The compliance date for the new rule and related reporting requirements was August 19, 2022.
In December 2020, the SEC adopted a rule addressing fair valuation of fund investments. The new rule sets forth requirements for good faith determinations of fair value as well as for the performance of fair value determinations, including related oversight and reporting obligations. The new rule also defines “readily available market quotations” for purposes of the definition of “value” under the Act, and the SEC noted that this definition will apply in all contexts under the Act. The effective date for the rule was March 8, 2021. The compliance date for the new rule and the related reporting requirements was September 8, 2022.
In May 2022, the SEC proposed amendments to a current rule governing fund naming conventions. In general, the current rule requires funds with certain types of names to adopt a policy to invest at least 80% of their assets in the type of investment suggested by the name. The proposed amendments would expand the scope of the current rule in a number of ways that would result in an expansion of the types of fund names that would require the fund to adopt an 80% investment policy under the rule. Additionally, the proposed amendments would modify the circumstances under which a fund may deviate from its 80% investment policy and address the use and valuation of derivatives instruments for purposes of the rule. The proposal’s impact on the Funds will not be known unless and until any final rulemaking is adopted.
In May 2022, the SEC proposed a framework that would require certain registered funds (such as the Funds) to disclose their environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) investing practices. Among other things, the proposed requirements would mandate that funds meeting three pre-defined classifications (i.e., integrated, ESG focused and/or impact funds) provide prospectus and shareholder report disclosure related to the ESG factors, criteria and processes used in managing the fund. The proposal’s impact on the Funds will not be known unless and until any final rulemaking is adopted.
In October 2022, the SEC adopted changes to the mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) shareholder report and registration statement disclosure requirements and the registered fund advertising rules, which will impact the disclosures provided to shareholders. The rule amendments are effective as of January 24, 2023, but the SEC is providing an 18-month compliance period following the effective date for such amendments other than those addressing fee and expense information in advertisements that might be materially misleading.
In November 2022, the SEC adopted amendments to Form N-PX under the Act to improve the utility to investors of proxy voting information reported by mutual funds, ETFs and certain other funds. The rule amendments will expand the scope of funds’ Form N-PX reporting obligations, subject managers to Form N-PX reporting obligations for “Say on Pay” votes, enhance Form N-PX disclosures, permit joint reporting by funds, managers and affiliated managers on Form N-PX; and require website availability of fund proxy voting records. The amendments will become effective on July 1, 2024. Funds and managers will be required to file their first reports covering the period from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024 on amended Form N-PX by August 31, 2024.

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee or a reliable indicator of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance shown. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when repurchased by the fund. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the repurchase of fund shares. Performance current to the most recent month-end is available at www.pimco.com or via (844) 312-2113. Performance is calculated assuming all dividends and distributions are reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Performance does not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares.
The Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio in effect as of period end was 1.98% for Institutional Class . As of December 31, 2022, the Fund’s Total Effective Leverage(1) was 11.96%.
1 | Represents total effective leverage outstanding, as a percentage of total managed assets. Total effective leverage consists of preferred shares, reverse repurchase agreements and other borrowings, credit default swap notional and floating rate notes issued in tender option bond transactions, as applicable (collectively “Total Effective Leverage”). The Fund may engage in other transactions not included in Total Effective Leverage disclosed above that may give rise to a form of leverage, including certain derivative transactions. For the purpose of calculating Total Effective Leverage outstanding as a percentage of total managed assets, total managed assets refer to total assets (including assets attributable to Total Effective Leverage that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing Total Effective Leverage). |
Investment Objective and Strategy Overview
PIMCO Flexible Emerging Markets Income Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns and current income by investing, under normal circumstances, across a wide array of instruments, including from sovereign, quasi-sovereign and corporate borrowers, that are economically tied to “emerging market” countries. The Fund utilizes a flexible asset allocation strategy among multiple public and private credit sectors in the emerging market credit markets, including corporate debt (including, among other things, fixed-, variable- and floating-rate bonds, loans, convertible and contingent convertible securities and stressed, distressed and defaulted debt securities issued by corporations or other business entities), mortgage-related and other consumer-related instruments, collateralized debt obligations, including, without limitation, collateralized loan obligations, government, sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt and other fixed-, variable- and floating-rate income-producing securities. Fund strategies may change from time to time. Please refer to the Fund’s current prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s strategy.

Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when repurchased by the fund. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the repurchase of fund shares. The adjusted returns take into account the maximum sales charge of 3.00% on Class A-2 and Class A-4 shares. Performance current to the most recent month-end is available at www.pimco.com or via (844) 312-2113. Performance is calculated assuming all dividends and distributions are reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Performance does not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares.
For periods prior to the inception date of a share class launched subsequent to the Fund’s inception date, the performance information shown is adjusted for the performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares. The prior Institutional Class performance has been adjusted to reflect the distribution and/or service fees and other expenses paid by each respective share class.

The Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio in effect as of period end were 2.54% for Institutional Class, 3.04% for Class A-1 shares, 3.04% for Class A-2 shares, 3.29% for Class A-3 shares and 3.29% for Class A-4 shares. As of December 31, 2022, the Fund’s Total Effective Leverage(1) was 41.84%.
1 | Represents total effective leverage outstanding, as a percentage of total managed assets. Total effective leverage consists of preferred shares, reverse repurchase agreements and other borrowings, credit default swap notional and floating rate notes issued in tender option bond transactions, as applicable (collectively “Total Effective Leverage”). The Fund may engage in other transactions not included in Total Effective Leverage disclosed above that may give rise to a form of leverage, including certain derivative transactions. For the purpose of calculating Total Effective Leverage outstanding as a percentage of total managed assets, total managed assets refer to total assets (including assets attributable to Total Effective Leverage that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing Total Effective Leverage). |

(i) | Securities with an aggregate market value of $163 have been pledged as collateral for financial derivative instruments as governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements as of December 31, 2022. |
(1) | If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash, securities or other deliverable obligations equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(2) | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues as of period end serve as indicators of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |
(3) | The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |
(4) | The prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements serve as indicators of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement be closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the underlying referenced instrument’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |
(5) | Receive represents that the Fund receives payments for any positive net return on the underlying reference. The Fund makes payments for any negative net return on such underlying reference. Pay represents that the Fund receives payments for any negative net return on the underlying reference. The Fund makes payments for any positive net return on such underlying reference. |
(6) | Net Exposure represents the net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty in the event of default. Exposure from OTC financial derivative instruments can only be netted across transactions governed under the same master agreement with the same legal entity. See Note 8, Master Netting Arrangements, in the Notes to Financial Statements for more information. |

(1) | If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash, securities or other deliverable obligations equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(2) | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on issues as of period end serve as indicators of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |
(3) | The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |
(4) | The prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements serve as indicators of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement be closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the underlying referenced instrument’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |
(5) | This instrument has a forward starting effective date. See Note 2, Securities Transactions and Investment Income, in the Notes to Financial Statements for further information. |

(p) | Securities with an aggregate market value of $15,955 have been pledged as collateral for financial derivative instruments as governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements as of December 31, 2022. |
(1) | If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash, securities or other deliverable obligations equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(2) | The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |
(3) | The prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements serve as indicators of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement be closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the underlying referenced instrument’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |
(4) | Receive represents that the Fund receives payments for any positive net return on the underlying reference. The Fund makes payments for any negative net return on such underlying reference. Pay represents that the Fund receives payments for any negative net return on the underlying reference. The Fund makes payments for any positive net return on such underlying reference. |
(5) | Net Exposure represents the net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty in the event of default. Exposure from OTC derivatives can only be netted across transactions governed under the same master agreement with the same legal entity. See Note 8, Master Netting Arrangements, in the Notes to Financial Statements for more information. |

1. ORGANIZATION
PIMCO Flexible Emerging Markets Income Fund and PIMCO Flexible Credit Income Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) are each organized as closed-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Act”). PIMCO Flexible Emerging Markets Income Fund and PIMCO Flexible Credit Income Fund were each organized as Massachusetts business trusts on the dates shown in the table below. PIMCO Flexible Emerging Markets Income Fund commenced operations on March 15, 2022, and PIMCO Flexible Credit Income Fund commenced operations on February 22, 2017. Each Fund is a closed-end management investment company that continuously offers its shares (“Common Shares”) and is operated as an “interval fund.” PIMCO Flexible Credit Income Fund currently offers five classes of Common Shares: Institutional Class, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4. PIMCO Flexible Emerging Markets Income Fund currently offers Institutional Class Common Shares only. PIMCO Flexible Emerging Markets Income Fund is not offering Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, or Class A-4 Common Shares for sale at this time. Institutional Class, Class A-1 and Class A-3 Shares are sold at their offering price, which is net asset value (“NAV”) per share. Class A-2 and Class A-4 Shares are sold at a public offering price equal to their NAV plus an initial sales charge that varies depending on the size of the purchase, unless such purchase of Class A-2 and Class A-4 Shares is eligible for a waiver of the initial sales charge. Institutional Class Shares are offered for investment to investors such as pension and profit sharing plans, employee benefit trusts, endowments, foundations, corporations and individuals that can meet the minimum investment amount. Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Shares are primarily offered and sold to retail investors by broker-dealers which are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and which have agreements with the Distributor (as defined below), but may be available through other financial firms, including banks and trust companies and to specified benefit plans and other retirement accounts. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO” or the “Manager”) serves as each Fund’s investment manager.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Each Fund is treated as an investment company under the reporting requirements of U.S. GAAP. The functional and reporting currency for the Funds is the U.S. dollar. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
(a) 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 beyond a standard settlement period for the security after the trade date. Realized gains (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 each Fund 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 from settlement date, with the exception of securities with a forward starting effective date, where interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from effective date. For convertible securities, premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized. Estimated tax liabilities on certain foreign securities are recorded on an accrual basis and are reflected as components of interest income or net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on the Statements of Operations, as appropriate. Tax liabilities realized as a result of such security sales are reflected as a component of net realized gain (loss) on investments on the Statements of Operations. Paydown gains (losses) on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, if any, are recorded as components of interest income on the Statements of Operations. Income or short-term capital gain distributions received from registered investment companies, if any, are recorded as dividend income. Long-term capital gain distributions received from registered investment companies, if any, are recorded as realized gains.
Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is probable.
(b) Foreign Currency Translation The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. The Funds do not separately report the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments on the Statements of Operations. The Funds may invest in foreign currency-denominated securities and may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (cash) basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time or through a forward foreign currency contract. Realized foreign exchange gains (losses) arising from sales of spot foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses) arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency assets and liabilities on the Statements of Operations.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
(c) Multi-Class Operations Each class offered by each Fund 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 are allocated daily to each class on the basis of the relative net assets. Realized and unrealized capital gains (losses) are allocated daily based on the relative net assets of each class of the respective Fund. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include initial sales load, supervisory and administrative and distribution and servicing fees. Under certain circumstances, the per share NAV of a class of the respective Fund’s shares may be different from the per share NAV of another class of shares as a result of the different daily expense accruals applicable to each class of shares.
(d) Distributions — Common Shares The following table shows the anticipated frequency of distributions from net investment income to common shareholders.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Distribution Frequency | |
| | | |
Fund Name | | | | | Declared | | | Distributed | |
| | | |
PIMCO Flexible Emerging Markets Income Fund | | | | | | | Daily | | | | Quarterly | |
| | | |
PIMCO Flexible Credit Income Fund | | | | | | | Daily | | | | Quarterly | |
Each Fund intends to distribute each year substantially all of its net investment income and net short-term capital gains. In addition, at least annually, Each Fund intends to distribute net realized long-term capital gains not previously distributed, if any. A Fund may revise its distribution policy or postpone the payment of distributions at any time.
Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and U.S. GAAP may cause timing differences between income and capital gain recognition. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. As a result, income distributions and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income (loss) and realized gains (losses) reported on each Fund’s annual financial statements presented under U.S. GAAP.
The Funds may invest in one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries (each a “Subsidiary” and collectively the “Subsidiaries”) that are treated as disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the case of a Subsidiary that is so treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) the Fund is treated as owning the Subsidiary’s assets directly; (ii) any income, gain, loss, deduction or other tax items arising in respect of the Subsidiary’s assets will be treated as if they are realized or incurred, as applicable, directly by the Fund; and (iii) distributions, if any, the Fund receives from the Subsidiary will have no effect on the Fund’s U.S. federal income tax liability.
Separately, if a Fund determines or estimates, as applicable, that a portion of a distribution may be comprised of amounts from sources other than net investment income in accordance with its policies, accounting records (if applicable), and accounting practices, the Fund will notify shareholders of the estimated composition of such distribution through a Section 19 Notice. For these purposes, a Fund determines or estimates, as applicable, the source or sources from which a distribution is paid, to the close of the period as of which it is paid, in reference to its internal accounting records and related accounting practices. If, based on such accounting records and practices, it is determined or
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
estimated, as applicable, that a particular distribution does not include capital gains or paid-in surplus or other capital sources, a Section 19 Notice generally would not be issued. It is important to note that differences exist between a Fund’s daily internal accounting records and practices, a Fund’s financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and recordkeeping practices under income tax regulations. For instance, a Fund’s internal accounting records and practices may take into account, among other factors, tax-related characteristics of certain sources of distributions that differ from treatment under U.S. GAAP. Examples of such differences may include, but are not limited to, for certain Funds, the treatment of periodic payments under interest rate swap contracts. Accordingly, among other consequences, it is possible that a Fund may not issue a Section 19 Notice in situations where a Fund’s financial statements prepared later and in accordance with U.S. GAAP and/or the final tax character of those distributions might later report that the sources of those distributions included capital gains and/or a return of capital. Please visit www.pimco.com for the most recent Section 19 Notice, if applicable, for additional information regarding the estimated composition of distributions. Final determination of a distribution’s tax character will be provided to shareholders when such information is available.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital at a Fund’s fiscal year end, if any, are reflected on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been recorded to paid in capital on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between distributable earnings (accumulated loss) and paid in capital on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to more appropriately conform U.S. GAAP to tax characterizations of distributions.
(e) New Accounting Pronouncements and Regulatory Updates In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU 2020-04, which provides optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from the London Interbank Offered Rate and other reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occurred during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In March 2021, the administrator for LIBOR announced the extension of the publication of a majority of the USD LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023. In December 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-06, which includes amendments to extend the duration of the LIBOR transition relief to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the reference rate reform relief. Management is continuously evaluating the potential effect a discontinuation of LIBOR could have on the Funds’ investments and has determined that it is unlikely the ASU’s adoption will have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
In October 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted a rule related to the use of derivatives, short sales, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions by registered investment companies that rescinds and withdraws the guidance of the SEC and its staff regarding asset segregation and cover transactions. Subject to certain exceptions, the rule requires funds that trade derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations to comply with a value-at-risk leverage limit and certain derivatives risk management program and reporting requirements. The effective date for the rule was February 19, 2021. The compliance date for the new rule and the related reporting requirements was August 19, 2022. Management has implemented changes in connection with the rule and has determined that there is no material impact to the Funds’ financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
In December 2020, the SEC adopted a rule addressing fair valuation of fund investments. The new rule sets forth requirements for good faith determinations of fair value as well as for the performance of fair value determinations, including related oversight and reporting obligations. The new rule also defines “readily available market quotations” for purposes of the definition of “value” under the Act, and the SEC noted that this definition would apply in all contexts under the Act. The effective date for the rule was March 8, 2021. The compliance date for the new rule and the related reporting requirements was September 8, 2022. Management has implemented changes in connection with the rule and has determined that there is no material impact to the Funds’ financial statements.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which affects all entities that have investments in equity securities measured at fair value that are subject to a contractual sale restriction. The amendments in ASU 2022-03 clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring the fair value. The amendments also require additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The effective date for the amendments in ASU 2022-03 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.
In October 2022, the SEC adopted changes to the mutual fund and ETF shareholder report and registration statement disclosure requirements and the registered fund advertising rules, which will change the disclosures provided to shareholders. The rule is effective as of January 24, 2023, but the SEC is providing an 18-month compliance period after the effective date other than for rule amendments addressing fee and expense information in advertisements that might be materially misleading. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.
3. INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
(a) Investment Valuation Policies The NAV of a Fund’s shares, or each of their respective share classes as applicable, is determined by dividing the total value of portfolio investments and other assets attributable to the Fund or class, less any liabilities, as applicable, by the total number of shares outstanding.
On each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, the Fund’s shares are ordinarily valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) (“NYSE Close”). Information that becomes known to the Funds or their agents after the time as of which NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the price of a security or the NAV determined earlier that day. If regular trading on the NYSE closes earlier than scheduled, each Fund may calculate its NAV as of the earlier closing time or calculate its NAV as of the NYSE Close for that day. Each Fund generally does not calculate its NAV on days on which the NYSE is not open for business. If the NYSE is closed on a day it would normally be open for business, each Fund may calculate its NAV as of the NYSE Close for such day or such other time that each Fund may determine.
For purposes of calculating NAV, portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. A market quotation is readily available only when
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
that quotation is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Fund can access at the measurement date, provided that a quotation will not be readily available if it is not reliable. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official closing prices or the last reported sales prices. The Funds will normally use pricing data for domestic equity securities received shortly after the NYSE Close and do not normally take into account trading, clearances or settlements that take place after the NYSE Close. A foreign (non-U.S.) equity security traded on a foreign exchange or on more than one exchange is typically valued using pricing information from the exchange considered by PIMCO to be the primary exchange. If market value pricing is used, a foreign (non-U.S.) equity security will be valued as of the close of trading on the foreign exchange, or the NYSE Close, if the NYSE Close occurs before the end of trading on the foreign exchange.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act. As a general principle, the fair value of a security or other asset is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board has designated PIMCO as the valuation designee (“Valuation Designee”) for each Fund to perform the fair value determination relating to all Fund investments. PIMCO may carry out its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee through various teams and committees. The Valuation Designee’s policies and procedures govern the Valuation Designee’s selection and application of methodologies for determining and calculating the fair value of Fund investments. The Valuation Designee may value Fund portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available and other Fund assets utilizing inputs from pricing services, quotation reporting systems, valuation agents and other third-party sources (together, “Pricing Sources”).
Domestic and foreign (non-U.S.) fixed income securities, non-exchange traded derivatives, and equity options are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or Pricing Sources using data reflecting the earlier closing of the principal markets for those securities. Prices obtained from Pricing Sources may be based on, among other things, 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. Exchange traded options, except equity options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Swap agreements are valued on the basis of bid quotes obtained from brokers and dealers market-based prices supplied by Pricing Sources. With respect to any portion of a Fund’s assets that are invested in one or more open-end management investment companies (other than ETFs), the Fund’s NAV will be calculated based on the NAVs of such investments.
If a foreign (non-U.S.) equity security’s value has materially changed after the close of the security’s primary exchange or principal market but before the NYSE Close, the security may be valued at fair value. Foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities that do not trade when the NYSE is open are also valued at fair value. With respect to foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities, a Fund may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided by Pricing Sources, which may recommend fair value or adjustments with reference to other securities, indexes or assets. In considering whether fair valuation is required and in determining fair values, the Valuation Designee may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of U.S. securities or securities indexes) that occur after the close of the relevant market and before the NYSE
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | | DECEMBER 31, 2022 | | | 69 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
Close. A Fund may utilize modeling tools provided by third-party vendors to determine fair values of foreign (non-U.S.) securities. For these purposes, unless otherwise determined by the Valuation Designee, any movement in the applicable reference index or instrument (“zero trigger”) between the earlier close of the applicable foreign market and the NYSE Close may be deemed to be a significant event, prompting the application of the pricing model (effectively resulting in daily fair valuations). Foreign exchanges may permit trading in foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities on days when a Fund is not open for business, which may result in a Fund’s portfolio investments being affected when shareholders are unable to buy or sell shares.
Whole loans may be fair valued using inputs that take into account borrower- or loan-level data (e.g., credit risk of the borrower) that is updated periodically throughout the life of each individual loan; any new borrower- or loan-level data received in written reports periodically by a Fund normally will be taken into account in calculating the NAV. A Fund’s whole loan investments, including those originated by a Fund or through an alternative lending platform, generally are fair valued in accordance with procedures approved by the Board.
Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from Pricing Sources. As a result, the value of such investments and, in turn, the NAV of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of investments 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 a Fund is not open for business. As a result, to the extent that a Fund holds foreign (non-U.S.) investments, the value of those investments may change at times when shareholders are unable to buy or sell shares and the value of such investments will be reflected in each Fund’s next calculated NAV.
Fair valuation may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Funds’ and Valuation Designee’s policies and procedures are intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, a Fund cannot ensure that fair values accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by a Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold.
Under certain circumstances, the per share NAV of a class of each Fund’s shares may be different from the per share NAV of another class of shares as a result of the different daily expense accruals applicable to each class of shares.
(b) Fair Value Hierarchy U.S. GAAP describes fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into levels (Level 1, 2, or 3). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Levels 1, 2, and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
∎ | | Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities. |
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
∎ | | Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs. |
∎ | | Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Valuation Designee that are used in determining the fair value of investments. |
Assets or liabilities categorized as Level 2 or 3 as of period end have been transferred between Levels 2 and 3 since the prior period due to changes in the method utilized in valuing the investments. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 are a result of a change, in the normal course of business, from the use of methods used by Pricing Sources (Level 2) to the use of a broker quote or valuation technique which utilizes significant unobservable inputs due to an absence of current or reliable market-based data (Level 3). Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 are a result of the availability of current and reliable market-based data provided by Pricing Sources or other valuation techniques which utilize significant observable inputs. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, the amounts of transfers into and out of Level 3, if material, are disclosed in the Notes to Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund.
For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to realized gain (loss), unrealized appreciation (depreciation), purchases and sales, accrued discounts (premiums), and transfers into and out of the Level 3 category during the period. The end of period value is used for the transfers between Levels of a Fund’s assets and liabilities. Additionally, U.S. GAAP requires quantitative information regarding the significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of fair value of assets or liabilities categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy, and if material, a Level 3 reconciliation and details of significant unobservable inputs, have been included in the Notes to Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund.
(c) Valuation Techniques and the Fair Value Hierarchy
Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 trading assets and trading liabilities, at fair value The valuation methods (or “techniques”) and significant inputs used in determining the fair values of portfolio securities or other assets and liabilities categorized as Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Common stocks, ETFs, exchange-traded notes and financial derivative instruments, such as futures contracts, rights and warrants, or options on futures that are traded on a national securities exchange, are stated at the last reported sale or settlement price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies (other than ETFs) will be valued based upon the NAVs of such investments and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments in unregistered open-end investment companies will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments and are considered Level 1 provided that the NAVs are observable, calculated daily and are the value at which both purchases and sales will be conducted.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
Fixed income securities including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes, U.S. government agencies, U.S. treasury obligations, sovereign issues, bank loans, convertible preferred securities and non-U.S. bonds are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or Pricing Sources that use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The Pricing Sources’ internal models use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis or as a repurchase commitment in a sale-buyback transaction are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date and are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. These securities are also normally valued by Pricing Sources that use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, current market data, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche, and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain securities that are solely traded on a foreign exchange to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the NYSE Close. These securities are valued using Pricing Sources that consider the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments. Securities using these valuation adjustments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Preferred securities and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain exchange traded futures and options to account for market movement between the exchange settlement and the NYSE close. These securities are valued using quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers or Pricing Sources. Financial derivatives using these valuation adjustments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Equity exchange-traded options and over the counter financial derivative instruments, such as forward foreign currency contracts and options contracts derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These contracts are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers or Pricing Sources (normally determined as of the NYSE Close). Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, financial derivative instruments can be valued by Pricing Sources using a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as quoted prices, issuer details, indices, bid/ask spreads, interest rates, implied volatilities, yield curves, dividends and exchange rates. Financial derivative instruments that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
Centrally cleared swaps and over the counter swaps derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. They are valued using a broker-dealer bid quotation or on market-based prices provided by Pricing Sources (normally determined as of the NYSE Close). Centrally cleared swaps and over the counter swaps can be valued by Pricing Sources using a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models. The pricing models may use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as the overnight index swap rate, LIBOR forward rate, interest rates, yield curves and credit spreads. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Proxy pricing procedures set the base price of a fixed income security and subsequently adjust the price proportionally to market value changes of a pre-determined security deemed to be comparable in duration, generally a U.S. Treasury or sovereign note based on country of issuance. The base price may be a broker-dealer quote, transaction price, or an internal value as derived by analysis of market data. The base price of the security may be reset on a periodic basis based on the availability of market data and procedures approved by the Valuation Oversight Committee. Significant changes in the unobservable inputs of the proxy pricing process (the base price) would result in direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security. These securities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
If third-party evaluated vendor pricing is not available or not deemed to be indicative of fair value, the Manager may elect to obtain Broker Quotes directly from the broker-dealer or passed through from a third-party vendor. In the event that fair value is based upon a single sourced Broker Quote, these securities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Broker Quotes are typically received from established market participants. Although independently received, the Manager does not have the transparency to view the underlying inputs which support the market quotation. Significant changes in the Broker Quote would have direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security.
Reference instrument valuation estimates fair value by utilizing the correlation of the security to one or more broad-based securities, market indices, and/or other financial instruments, whose pricing information is readily available. Unobservable inputs may include those used in algorithms based on percentage change in the reference instruments and/or weights of each reference instrument. Significant changes in the unobservable inputs would result in direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security. These securities are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the source or input of the reference instrument.
Expected recovery valuation estimates that the fair value of an existing asset can be recovered, net of any liability. Significant changes in the unobservable inputs would result in direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security. These securities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Discounted Cash Flow model is based on future cash flows generated by the investment and may be normalized based on expected investment performance. Future cash flows are discounted to present value using an appropriate rate of return, typically calibrated to the initial transaction date and adjusted based on Capital Asset Pricing Model and/or other market-based inputs. Significant changes in the unobservable inputs would result in direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security. These securities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Comparable Companies model is based on application of valuation multiples from publicly traded comparable companies to the financials of the subject company. Adjustments may be made to
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | | DECEMBER 31, 2022 | | | 73 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
the market-derived valuation multiples based on differences between the comparable companies and the subject company. Significant changes in the unobservable inputs would result in direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security. These securities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities may be valued based on purchase prices of privately negotiated transactions. Significant changes in the unobservable inputs would result in direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security. These securities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Short-term debt instruments (such as commercial paper) having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instruments is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. These securities are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the source of the base price.
When a fair valuation method is applied by PIMCO that uses significant unobservable inputs, investments will be priced by a method that the Valuation Designee believes reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
Investments in Securities
The Funds may utilize the investments and strategies described below to the extent permitted by each Fund’s respective investment policies.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted by 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 or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income on the Statements of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.
Loans and Other Indebtedness, Loan Participations and Assignments are direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of direct investments, participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties or exposure to investments in loans through investments in a mutual fund or other pooled investment vehicle. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “agent”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the agent that is selling the loan agreement.
In the event of the insolvency of the agent selling a participation, a Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the agent and may not benefit from any set-off between the agent and the borrower. When a Fund purchases assignments from agents it acquires direct rights against the borrowers of

the loans. These loans may include participations in bridge loans, which are loans taken out by borrowers for a short period (typically less than one year) pending arrangement of more permanent financing through, for example, the issuance of bonds, frequently high yield bonds issued for the purpose of acquisitions.
Investments in loans are generally subject to risks similar to those of investments in other types of debt obligations, including, among others, credit risk, interest rate risk, variable and floating rate securities risk, and risks associated with mortgage-related securities. In addition, in many cases loans are subject to the risks associated with below investment grade securities. The Funds may be subject to heightened or additional risks and potential liabilities and costs by investing in mezzanine and other subordinated loans, including those arising under bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, equitable subordination, environmental and other laws and regulations, and risks and costs associated with debt servicing and taking foreclosure actions associated with the loans.
Additionally, because loans are not ordinarily registered with the SEC or any state securities commission or listed on any securities exchange, there is usually less publicly available information about such instruments. In addition, loans may not be considered “securities” for purposes of the anti-fraud provisions under the federal securities laws and, as a result, as a purchaser of these instruments, a Fund may not be entitled to the anti-fraud protections of the federal securities laws. In the course of investing in such instruments, a Fund may come into possession of material nonpublic information and, because of prohibitions on trading in securities of issuers while in possession of such information, the Fund may be unable to enter into a transaction in a publicly-traded security of that issuer when it would otherwise be advantageous for the Fund to do so. Alternatively, a Fund may choose not to receive material nonpublic information about an issuer of such loans, with the result that the Fund may have less information about such issuers than other investors who transact in such assets.
The types of loans and related investments in which the Funds may invest include, among others, senior loans, subordinated loans (including second lien loans, B-Notes and mezzanine loans), whole loans, commercial real estate and other commercial loans and structured loans. The Funds may acquire direct interests in loans through primary loan distributions and/or in private transactions. In the case of subordinated loans, there may be significant indebtedness ranking ahead of the borrower’s obligation to the holder of such a loan, including in the event of the borrower’s insolvency. Mezzanine loans are typically secured by a pledge of an equity interest in the mortgage borrower that owns the real estate rather than an interest in a mortgage.
The Funds may also seek to originate loans, including, without limitation, residential and/or commercial real estate or mortgage-related loans, consumer loans or other types of loans, which may be in the form of whole loans, secured and unsecured notes, senior and second lien loans, mezzanine loans or similar investments. The Funds may originate loans to corporations and/or other legal entities and individuals, including foreign (non-U.S.) entities and individuals.
The Funds may acquire residential mortgage loans and unsecured consumer loans through a Subsidiary. Subsidiaries directly holding a beneficial interest in loans will be formed as domestic common law or statutory trusts with a federally chartered bank serving as trustee. Each such Subsidiary will hold the beneficial interests of loans and the federally chartered bank acting as trustee will hold legal title to the loans for the benefit of the Subsidiary and/or the trust’s beneficial owners (i.e., the Funds or its direct or indirect fully-owned subsidiary). State licensing laws typically exempt federally chartered banks from their licensing requirements, and federally chartered banks may also benefit from federal preemption of
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | | DECEMBER 31, 2022 | | | 75 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
state laws, including any licensing requirements. The use of common law or statutory trusts with a federally chartered bank serving as trustee is intended to address any state licensing requirements that may be applicable to purchasers or holders of loans, including state licensing requirements related to foreclosure. The Funds believe that such direct or indirect fully-owned Subsidiaries will not be treated as associations or publicly traded partnerships taxable as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and that therefore, the Subsidiaries will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the subsidiary level. Investments in residential mortgage loans or unsecured consumer loans through entities that are not so treated can potentially be limited by the Funds’ intention to qualify as a regulated investment company, and limit the Funds’ ability to qualify as such.
If the Funds or its Subsidiaries are required to be licensed in any particular jurisdiction in order to acquire, hold, dispose or foreclose loans, obtaining the required license may not be viable (because, for example, it is not possible or practical) and the Funds or its Subsidiary may be unable to restructure its holdings to address the licensing requirement. In that case, the Funds or its Subsidiary may be forced to cease activities involving the affected loans, or may be forced to sell such loans. If a state regulator or court were to determine that the Funds or its Subsidiary acquired, held or foreclosed a loan without a required state license, the Funds or its Subsidiary could be subject to penalties or other sanctions, prohibited or restricted in its ability to enforce its rights under the loan, or subject to litigation risk or other losses or damages.
Investments in loans may include unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments may include revolving credit facilities, which may obligate a Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the committed amount may not be utilized by the borrower. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the agent selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the agent from the borrower. Because investing in unfunded loan commitments creates a future obligation for a Fund to provide funding to a borrower upon demand in exchange for a fee, the Fund will segregate or earmark liquid assets with the Fund’s custodian in amounts sufficient to satisfy any such future obligations. A Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a loan. In certain circumstances, a Fund may receive a penalty fee upon the prepayment of a loan by a borrower. Fees earned or paid are recorded as a component of interest income or interest expense, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. Unfunded loan commitments, if any, are reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, loans on real property. Mortgage-related securities are created from pools of residential or commercial mortgage loans, including mortgage loans made by savings and loan institutions, mortgage bankers, commercial banks and others. These securities typically provide a monthly payment which consists of both principal and interest. Interest may be determined by fixed or adjustable rates. In times of declining interest rates, there is a greater likelihood that a Fund’s higher yielding securities will be pre-paid with the Fund being unable to reinvest the proceeds in an investment with as great a yield. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security, and may have the effect of shortening or extending the effective duration of the security relative to what was anticipated at the time of purchase. Interest-only and principal-only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change the income flows and repayment
(Unaudited)

assumptions about those investments. The timely payment of principal and interest of certain mortgage-related securities is guaranteed with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Pools created and guaranteed by non-governmental issuers, including government-sponsored corporations, may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, but there can be no assurance that private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements. Many of the risks of investing in mortgage-related securities secured by commercial mortgage loans reflect the effects of local and other economic conditions on real estate markets, the ability of tenants to make lease payments, and the ability of a property to attract and retain tenants. These securities may be less liquid and may exhibit greater price volatility than other types of mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. Other asset-backed securities are created from many types of assets, including, but not limited to, auto loans, accounts receivable such as credit card receivables and hospital account receivables, home equity loans, student loans, boat loans, mobile home loans, recreational vehicle loans, manufactured housing loans, aircraft leases, computer leases and syndicated bank loans. The Funds may invest in any level of the capital structure of an issuer of mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities, including the equity or “first loss” tranche.
Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”) include Collateralized Bond Obligations (“CBOs”), Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”) and other similarly structured securities. CBOs and CLOs are types of asset-backed securities. A CBO is a trust which is typically backed by a diversified pool of high risk, below investment grade fixed income securities. A CLO is a trust typically collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include, among others, domestic and foreign senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans. For both CBOs and CLOs, the cash flows from the trust are split into two or more portions, called tranches, varying in risk and yield. The riskiest portion is the “equity” tranche which bears the bulk of defaults from the bonds or loans in the trust and serves to protect the other, more senior tranches from default in all but the most severe circumstances. Since it is partially protected from defaults, a senior tranche from a CBO trust or CLO trust typically has higher ratings and lower yields than the underlying securities, and can be rated investment grade. Despite the protection from the equity tranche, CBO or CLO tranches can experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, increased sensitivity to defaults due to collateral default and disappearance of protecting tranches, market anticipation of defaults and aversion to CBO or CLO securities as a class. The risks of an investment in a CDO depend largely on the type of the collateral securities and the class of the CDO in which a Fund invests. CDOs carry additional risks including, but not limited to, (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, (ii) the collateral may decline in value or default, (iii) the risk that a Fund may invest in CDOs that are subordinate to other classes, and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”) are debt obligations of a legal entity that are collateralized by whole mortgage loans or private mortgage bonds and divided into classes. CMOs are structured into multiple classes, often referred to as “tranches,” with each class bearing a different stated maturity and entitled to a different schedule for payments of principal and interest, including prepayments. CMOs may be less liquid and may exhibit greater price volatility than other types of mortgage-related or asset-backed securities.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | | DECEMBER 31, 2022 | | | 77 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
As CMOs have evolved, some classes of CMO bonds have become more common. For example, a Fund may invest in parallel-pay and planned amortization class (“PAC”) CMOs and multi-class pass-through certificates. Parallel-pay CMOs and multi-class pass-through certificates are structured to provide payments of principal on each payment date to more than one class. These simultaneous payments are taken into account in calculating the stated maturity date or final distribution date of each class, which, as with other CMO and multi-class pass-through structures, must be retired by its stated maturity date or final distribution date but may be retired earlier. PACs generally require payments of a specified amount of principal on each payment date. PACs are parallel-pay CMOs with the required principal amount on such securities having the highest priority after interest has been paid to all classes. Any CMO or multi-class pass-through structure that includes PAC securities must also have support tranches — known as support bonds, companion bonds or non-PAC bonds — which lend or absorb principal cash flows to allow the PAC securities to maintain their stated maturities and final distribution dates within a range of actual prepayment experience. These support tranches are subject to a higher level of maturity risk compared to other mortgage-related securities, and usually provide a higher yield to compensate investors. If principal cash flows are received in amounts outside a pre-determined range such that the support bonds cannot lend or absorb sufficient cash flows to the PAC securities as intended, the PAC securities are subject to heightened maturity risk. A Fund may invest in various tranches of CMO bonds, including support bonds and equity or “first loss” tranches (see “Collateralized Debt Obligations” above).
Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities (“SMBS”) are derivative multi-class mortgage securities. SMBS are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. An SMBS will have one class that will receive all of the interest (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive the entire principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). IOs and POs can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise and fall, the value of IOs tends to move in the same direction as interest rates. POs perform best when prepayments on the underlying mortgages rise since this increases the rate at which the principal is returned and the yield to maturity on the PO. When payments on mortgages underlying a PO are slower than anticipated, the life of the PO is lengthened and the yield to maturity is reduced. The yield to maturity on an IO class is extremely sensitive to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and a rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on a Fund’s yield to maturity from these securities. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Funds may fail to recoup some or all of its initial investment in these securities even if the security is in one of the highest rating categories.
Payments received for IOs are included in interest income on the Statements of Operations. Because no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the cost of the security on a monthly 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.
Payment In-Kind Securities may give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash and/or additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest
(Unaudited)

(referred to as a dirty price) and require a pro rata adjustment from the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments to interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Perpetual Bonds are fixed income securities with no maturity date but pay a coupon in perpetuity (with no specified ending or maturity date). Unlike typical fixed income securities, there is no obligation for perpetual bonds to repay principal. The coupon payments, however, are mandatory. While perpetual bonds have no maturity date, they may have a callable date in which the perpetuity is eliminated and the issuer may return the principal received on the specified call date. Additionally, a perpetual bond may have additional features, such as interest rate increases at periodic dates or an increase as of a predetermined point in the future.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are pooled investment vehicles that own, and typically operate, income-producing real estate. If a REIT meets certain requirements, including distributing to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income (other than net capital gains), then it is not taxed on the income distributed to shareholders. Distributions received from REITs may be characterized as income, capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by a Fund as a reduction to the cost basis of its investment in the REIT. REITs are subject to management fees and other expenses, and so the Funds that invest in REITs will bear their proportionate share of the costs of the REITs’ operations.
Restricted Investments are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may generally be sold privately, but may be required to be registered or exempted from such registration before being sold to the public. Private placement securities are generally considered to be restricted except for those securities traded between qualified institutional investors under the provisions of Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Disposal of restricted investments may involve time-consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult to achieve. Restricted investments held by the Funds as of December 31, 2022, as applicable, are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.
Securities Issued by U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises are obligations of and, in certain cases, guaranteed by, the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Some U.S. Government securities, such as Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association, are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government; others, such as those of the Federal Home Loan Banks, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”); and others, such as those of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”), are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency’s obligations. U.S. Government securities may include zero coupon securities which do not distribute interest on a current basis and tend to be subject to a greater risk than interest-paying securities of similar maturities.
Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include FNMA and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). FNMA is a government-sponsored corporation. FNMA purchases conventional (i.e., not insured or guaranteed by any government agency) residential mortgages from a list of approved seller/servicers which include state and federally chartered savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, commercial banks and credit unions and mortgage bankers. 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 issues Participation Certificates (“PCs”), which are

| | SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | | DECEMBER 31, 2022 | | | 79 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
pass-through securities, each representing an undivided interest in a pool of residential mortgages. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but PCs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Instead, they are supported only by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency’s obligations.
Warrants are securities that are usually issued together with a debt security or preferred security and that give the holder the right to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specified price. Warrants normally have a life that is measured in years and entitle the holder to buy common stock of a company at a price that is usually higher than the market price at the time the warrant is issued. Warrants may entail greater risks than certain other types of investments. Generally, warrants do not carry the right to receive dividends or exercise voting rights with respect to the underlying securities, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. In addition, their value does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities, and they cease to have value if they are not exercised on or before their expiration date. If the market price of the underlying stock does not exceed the exercise price during the life of the warrant, the warrant will expire worthless. Warrants may increase the potential profit or loss to be realized from the investment as compared with investing the same amount in the underlying securities. Similarly, the percentage increase or decrease in the value of an equity security warrant may be greater than the percentage increase or decrease in the value of the underlying common stock. Warrants may relate to the purchase of equity or debt securities. Debt obligations with warrants attached to purchase equity securities have many characteristics of convertible securities and their prices may, to some degree, reflect the performance of the underlying stock. Debt obligations also may be issued with warrants attached to purchase additional debt securities at the same coupon rate. A decline in interest rates would permit a Fund to sell such warrants at a profit. If interest rates rise, these warrants would generally expire with no value.
5. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
The Funds may enter into the borrowings and other financing transactions described below to the extent permitted by each Fund’s respective investment policies.
The following disclosures contain information on a Fund’s ability to lend or borrow cash or securities to the extent permitted under the Act, which may be viewed as borrowing or financing transactions by a Fund. The location of these instruments in each Fund’s financial statements is described below.
(a) Repurchase Agreements Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a Fund purchases an underlying debt obligation (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and a Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. In an open maturity repurchase agreement, there is no pre-determined repurchase date and the agreement can be terminated by a Fund or counterparty at any time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held by a Fund’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements, and in certain instances will remain in custody with the counterparty. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Repurchase agreements, if any, including accrued interest, are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest earned is recorded as a component of interest income on the Statements of Operations. In periods of increased demand for collateral, a Fund may pay a fee for the receipt of collateral, which may result in interest expense to the Fund.

(b) Reverse Repurchase Agreements In a reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund delivers a security in exchange for cash to a financial institution, the counterparty, with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same or substantially the same security at an agreed upon price and date. In an open maturity reverse repurchase agreement, there is no pre-determined repurchase date and the agreement can be terminated by the Fund or counterparty at any time. A Fund is entitled to receive principal and interest payments, if any, made on the security delivered to the counterparty during the term of the agreement. Cash received in exchange for securities delivered plus accrued interest payments to be made by a Fund to counterparties are reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest payments made by a Fund to counterparties are recorded as a component of interest expense on the Statements of Operations. In periods of increased demand for the security, a Fund may receive a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to the Fund. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Fund’s use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce a Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities to be repurchased may decline below the repurchase price.
(c) Sale-Buybacks A sale-buyback financing transaction consists of a sale of a security by a Fund to a financial institution, the counterparty, with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same or substantially the same security at an agreed-upon price and date. A Fund is not entitled to receive principal and interest payments, if any, made on the security sold to the counterparty during the term of the agreement. The agreed-upon proceeds for securities to be repurchased by a Fund are reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A Fund will recognize net income represented by the price differential between the price received for the transferred security and the agreed-upon repurchase price. This is commonly referred to as the ‘price drop.’ A price drop consists of (i) the foregone interest and inflationary income adjustments, if any, a Fund would have otherwise received had the security not been sold and (ii) the negotiated financing terms between a Fund and counterparty. Foregone interest and inflationary income adjustments, if any, are recorded as components of interest income on the Statements of Operations. Interest payments based upon negotiated financing terms made by a Fund to counterparties are recorded as a component of interest expense on the Statements of Operations. In periods of increased demand for the security, a Fund may receive a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to the Fund. A Fund will segregate assets determined to be liquid by the Adviser or will otherwise cover its obligations under sale-buyback transactions.
(d) Short Sales Short sales are transactions in which a Fund sells a security that it may not own. A Fund may make short sales of securities to (i) offset potential declines in long positions in similar securities, (ii) to increase the flexibility of the Fund, (iii) for investment return, (iv) as part of a risk arbitrage strategy, and (v) as part of its overall portfolio management strategies involving the use of derivative instruments. When a Fund engages in a short sale, it may borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the counterparty. A Fund will ordinarily have to pay a fee or premium to borrow a security and be obligated to repay the lender of the security any dividend or interest that accrues on the security during the period of the loan. Securities sold in short sale transactions and the dividend or interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as payable for short sales on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Short sales expose a Fund to the risk that it will be required to
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | | DECEMBER 31, 2022 | | | 81 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
cover its short position at a time when the security or other asset has appreciated in value, thus resulting in losses to a Fund. A short sale is “against the box” if a Fund holds in its portfolio or has the right to acquire the security sold short, or securities identical to the security sold short, at no additional cost. A Fund will be subject to additional risks to the extent that it engages in short sales that are not “against the box.” A Fund’s loss on a short sale could theoretically be unlimited in cases where a Fund is unable, for whatever reason, to close out its short position.
6. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Funds may enter into the financial derivative instruments described below to the extent permitted by each Fund’s respective investment policies.
The following disclosures contain information on how and why the Funds use financial derivative instruments, and how financial derivative instruments affect the Funds’ financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statements of Operations, each categorized by type of financial derivative contract and related risk exposure, are included in a table in the Notes to Schedules of Investments. The financial derivative instruments outstanding as of period end and the amounts of net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on financial derivative instruments during the period, as disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments, serve as indicators of the volume of financial derivative activity for the Funds.
(a) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts may be engaged, in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of a Fund’s securities or as part of an investment strategy. A forward 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 forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily, and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain (loss). Realized gains (losses) are 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 and are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency. The contractual obligations of a buyer or seller of a forward foreign currency contract may generally be satisfied by taking or making physical delivery of the underlying currency, establishing an opposite position in the contract and recognizing the profit or loss on both positions simultaneously on the delivery date or, in some instances, paying a cash settlement before the designated date of delivery. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain (loss) reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Although forwards may be intended to minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currencies, at the same time, they tend to limit any potential gain which might result should the value of such currencies increase. In addition, a Fund 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. To mitigate such risk, cash or securities may be exchanged as collateral pursuant to the terms of the underlying contracts.
(b) Futures Contracts are agreements to buy or sell a security or other asset for a set price on a future date and are traded on an exchange. A Fund may use futures contracts to manage its
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
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 a Fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with its futures broker an amount of cash, U.S. Government and Agency Obligations, or select sovereign debt, in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and based on such movements in the price of the contracts, an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value may be posted or collected by a Fund (“Futures Variation Margin”). Futures Variation Margins, if any, are disclosed within centrally cleared financial derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Gains (losses) are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or close. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin included within exchange traded or centrally cleared financial derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Futures Variation Margins, if any, are disclosed within centrally cleared financial derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Gains (losses) are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or close. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the Futures Variation Margin included within exchange traded or centrally cleared financial derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
(c) Swap Agreements are bilaterally negotiated agreements between a Fund and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap agreements may be privately negotiated in the over the counter market (“OTC swaps”) or may be cleared through a third party, known as a central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization (“Centrally Cleared Swaps”). A Fund may enter into asset, credit default, cross-currency, interest rate, total return, variance and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to credit, currency, interest rate, commodity, equity and inflation risk. In connection with these agreements, securities or cash may be identified as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency.
Centrally Cleared Swaps are marked to market daily based upon valuations as determined from the underlying contract or in accordance with the requirements of the central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization. Changes in market value, if any, are reflected as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statements of Operations. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are disclosed within centrally cleared financial derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Centrally Cleared and OTC swap payments received or paid at the beginning of the measurement period are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent premiums paid or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). Upfront premiums received (paid) are initially recorded as liabilities (assets) and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the swap. These upfront premiums are recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statements 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 (loss) on the
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | | DECEMBER 31, 2022 | | | 83 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are included as part of realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations.
For purposes of a Fund’s investment policy adopted pursuant to Rule 35d-1 under the Act (if any), the Fund will account for derivative instruments at market value. For purposes of applying a Fund’s other investment policies and restrictions, swap agreements, like other derivative instruments, may be valued by a Fund at market value, notional value or full exposure value. In the case of a credit default swap, in applying certain of a Fund’s investment policies and restrictions, the Funds will value the credit default swap at its notional value or its full exposure value (i.e., the sum of the notional amount for the contract plus the market value), but may value the credit default swap at market value for purposes of applying certain of a Fund’s other investment policies and restrictions. For example, a Fund may value credit default swaps at full exposure value for purposes of a Fund’s credit quality guidelines (if any) because such value in general better reflects a Fund’s actual economic exposure during the term of the credit default swap agreement. As a result, a Fund may, at times, have notional exposure to an asset class (before netting) that is greater or lesser than the stated limit or restriction noted in a Fund’s prospectus. In this context, both the notional amount and the market value may be positive or negative depending on whether a Fund is selling or buying protection through the credit default swap. The manner in which certain securities or other instruments are valued by a Fund for purposes of applying investment policies and restrictions may differ from the manner in which those investments are valued by other types of investors.
Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of interest, credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements 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 or the values of the asset upon which the swap is based.
A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between a Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral to a Fund to cover a Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
To the extent a Fund has a policy to limit the net amount owed to or to be received from a single counterparty under existing swap agreements, such limitation only applies to counterparties to OTC swaps and does not apply to centrally cleared swaps where the counterparty is a central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization.
Credit Default Swap Agreements on corporate, loan, sovereign, U.S. municipal or U.S. Treasury issues are entered into to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where a Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Credit default swap agreements involve one party making a stream of payments (referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event that the referenced entity, obligation or index, as specified in the swap
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
agreement, undergoes a certain credit event. As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, a Fund will generally receive from the buyer of protection a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, a Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, a Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash, securities or other deliverable obligations equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If a Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are estimated by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protection’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event).
Credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issues 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 or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protection’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event).
Credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event that the referenced entity, obligation or index, as specified in the agreement, undergoes a certain credit event. Unlike credit default swaps on corporate, loan, sovereign, U.S. municipal or U.S. Treasury issues, deliverable obligations in most instances would be limited to the specific referenced obligation, or in some cases, specific tranches of the specified reference obligation, as performance for asset-backed securities can vary across deals. Prepayments, principal paydowns, and other writedown or loss events on the underlying mortgage loans will reduce the outstanding principal balance of the referenced obligation. These reductions may be temporary or permanent as defined under the terms of the swap agreement and the notional amount for the swap agreement will be adjusted by corresponding amounts. A Fund may use credit default swaps on asset-backed securities to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the referenced obligation or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular referenced obligation’s default.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate, loan, sovereign, U.S. municipal or U.S. Treasury issues as of period end, if any, are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments. They serve as an indicator of the current status of payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the reference entity. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement equals the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of each individual credit default swap agreement outstanding as of period end for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by a Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements may be entered into to help hedge against interest rate risk exposure and to maintain a Fund’s ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. The value of the fixed rate bonds that the Funds hold may decrease if interest rates rise. To help hedge against this risk and to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing market rates, a Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by a Fund with another party for their respective commitment to pay or receive interest on 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,” (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, (iv) callable interest rate swaps, under which the buyer pays an upfront fee in consideration for the right to early terminate the swap transaction in whole, at zero cost and at a predetermined date and time prior to the maturity date, (v) spreadlocks, which allow the interest rate swap users to lock in the forward differential (or spread) between the interest rate swap rate and a specified benchmark, or (vi) basis swaps, under which two parties can exchange variable interest rates based on different segments of money markets.
Total Return Swap Agreements are entered into to gain or mitigate exposure to the underlying reference asset. Total return swap agreements involve commitments where single or multiple cash flows are exchanged based on the price of an underlying reference asset and on a fixed or variable
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
interest rate. Total return swap agreements may involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return. One counterparty pays out the total return of a specific underlying reference asset, which may include a single security, a basket of securities, or an index, and in return receives a fixed or variable rate. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged where the total return is equivalent to the return of the underlying reference asset less a financing rate, if any. As a receiver, a Fund would receive payments based on any net positive total return and would owe payments in the event of a net negative total return. As the payer, a Fund would owe payments on any net positive total return, and would receive payments in the event of a net negative total return.

Asset Allocation Risk is the risk that a Fund could lose money as a result of less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions. A Fund could miss attractive investment opportunities by underweighting markets that subsequently experience significant returns and could lose value by overweighting markets that subsequently experience significant declines.
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
Call Risk is the risk that an issuer may exercise its right to redeem a fixed income security earlier than expected (a call). Issuers may call outstanding securities prior to their maturity for a number of reasons (e.g., declining interest rates, changes in credit spreads and improvements in the issuer’s credit quality). If an issuer calls a security that the Fund has invested in, the Fund may not recoup the full amount of its initial investment and may be forced to reinvest in lower-yielding securities, securities with greater credit risks or securities with other, less favorable features.
Confidential Information Access Risk is the risk that, in managing the Fund (and other PIMCO clients), PIMCO may from time to time have the opportunity to receive material, non-public information (“Confidential Information”) about the issuers of certain investments, including, without limitation, senior floating rate loans, other loans and related investments being considered for acquisition by the Fund or held in the Fund’s portfolio. If PIMCO intentionally or unintentionally comes into possession of Confidential Information, it may be unable, potentially for a substantial period of time, to purchase or sell investments to which such Confidential Information relates.
Contingent Convertible Securities Risk is the risk of investing in contingent convertible securities, including the risk that interest payments will be cancelled by the issuer or a regulatory authority, the risk of ranking junior to other creditors in the event of a liquidation or other bankruptcy-related event as a result of holding subordinated debt, the risk of a Fund’s investment becoming further subordinated as a result of conversion from debt to equity, the risk that the principal amount due can be written down to a lesser amount, and the general risks applicable to fixed income investments, including interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk, any of which could result in losses to a Fund.
Convertible Securities Risk is the risk that the market values of convertible securities may decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, may increase as interest rates decline. A convertible security’s market value, however, tends to reflect the market price of the common stock of the issuing company when that stock price approaches or is greater than the convertible security’s “conversion price.” The conversion price is defined as the predetermined price at which the convertible security could be exchanged for the associated stock. As the market price of the underlying common stock declines, the price of the convertible security tends to be influenced more by the yield of the convertible security. Thus, it may not decline in price to the same extent as the underlying common stock. In the event of a liquidation of the issuing company, holders of convertible securities may be paid before the company’s common stockholders but after holders of any senior debt obligations of the company. Consequently, the issuer’s convertible securities generally entail less risk than its common stock but more risk than its debt obligations. Convertible securities are often rated below investment grade or not rated.
Corporate Debt Securities Risk is the risk that the market value of a corporate debt security may be affected by factors directly relating to the issuer and that the issuers of corporate debt securities may not be able to meet their obligations on interest or principal payments at the time called for by an instrument. The market value of corporate debt securities generally may be expected to rise and fall inversely with interest rates. In addition, certain corporate debt securities may be highly customized and as a result may be subject to, among others, liquidity and valuation/pricing transparency risks.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
Counterparty Risk is the risk that the Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the derivative contracts and other instruments entered into by the Fund or held by special purpose or structured vehicles in which the Fund invests. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under a derivative contract due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery (including recovery of any collateral it has provided to the counterparty) in a dissolution, assignment for the benefit of creditors, liquidation, winding-up, bankruptcy, or other analogous proceeding.
“Covenant-Lite” Obligations Risk is the risk that covenant-lite obligations contain fewer maintenance covenants than other obligations, or no maintenance covenants, and may not include terms that allow the lender to monitor the performance of the borrower and declare a default if certain criteria are breached. Covenant-lite loans may carry more risk than traditional loans as they allow individuals and corporations to engage in activities that would otherwise be difficult or impossible under a covenant-heavy loan agreement. In the event of default, covenant-lite loans may exhibit diminished recovery values as the lender may not have the opportunity to negotiate with the borrower prior to default.
Credit Default Swaps Risk is the risk of investing in credit default swaps, including illiquidity risk, counterparty risk, leverage risk and credit risk. A buyer generally also will lose its investment and recover nothing should no credit event occur and the swap is held to its termination date. When the Fund acts as a seller of a credit default swap, it is exposed to many of the same risks of leverage described herein since if an event of default occurs, the seller must pay the buyer the full notional value of the reference obligation. In addition, selling credit default swaps may not be profitable for the Fund if no secondary market exists or the Fund is otherwise unable to close out these transactions at advantageous times.
Credit Risk is the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security, or the counterparty to a derivatives contract, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to meet its financial obligations. Measures such as average credit quality may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of the Fund. This is especially the case if the Fund consists of securities with widely varying credit ratings.
Currency Risk is the risk that investments denominated in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or that trade in and receive revenues in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, or derivatives or other instruments that provide exposure to foreign (non-U.S.) currencies may decline in value, due to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged.
Cyber Security Risk is the risk that, as the use of technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the Funds have become potentially more susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional cyber events that may, among other things, cause a Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption and/or destruction or lose operational capacity, result in the unauthorized release or other misuse of confidential information, or otherwise disrupt normal business operations. Cyber security failures or breaches may result in financial losses to a
December 31, 2022
Fund and its shareholders. These failures or breaches may also result in disruptions to business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses; interference with a Fund’s ability to calculate its net asset value, process shareholder transactions or otherwise transact business with shareholders; impediments to trading; violations of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory fines; penalties; third party claims in litigation; reputational damage; reimbursement or other compensation costs; additional compliance and cyber security risk management costs and other adverse consequences. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. There is also a risk that cyber security breaches may not be detected. The Fund and its shareholders may suffer losses as a result of a cyber security breach related to the Fund, its service providers, trading counterparties or the issuers in which the Fund invests.
Derivatives Risk is the risk of investing in derivative instruments (such as futures, swaps and structured securities), including leverage, liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management, counterparty, operational and legal risks and valuation complexity. Changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with, and may be more sensitive to market events than, the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the initial amount invested. The Fund’s use of derivatives may result in losses to the Fund, a reduction in the Fund’s returns and/or increased volatility. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives are also subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations to the other party, as many of the protections afforded to centrally-cleared derivative transactions might not be available for OTC derivatives. The primary credit risk on derivatives that are exchange-traded or traded through a central clearing counterparty resides with the Fund’s clearing broker, or the clearinghouse itself.
Distressed and Defaulted Securities Risk is the risk of investing in the securities of financially distressed issuers, including the risk of default. These securities may fluctuate more in price and are typically less liquid. The Fund also will be subject to significant uncertainty as to when, and in what manner, and for what value obligations evidenced by securities of financially distressed issuers will eventually be satisfied.
Distribution Rate Risk is the risk that, to the extent the Fund seeks to maintain a level distribution rate, the Fund’s distribution rate may be affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to changes in realized and projected market returns, fluctuations in market interest rates, Fund performance, and other factors. For instance, during periods of low or declining interest rates, the Fund’s distributable income and dividend levels may decline for many reasons. There can be no assurance that a change in market conditions or other factors will not result in a change in the Fund’s distribution rate or that the rate will be sustainable in the future.
Emerging Markets Risk is the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk.
Equity Risk is the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred securities, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities.
Focused Investment Risk is the risk that, to the extent that the Fund focuses its investments in a particular industry, country or geographic region, the NAV of its common shares will be more susceptible to events or factors affecting companies in that industry, country or geographic region.

Foreign (Non-U.S.) Government Securities Risk is the risk that investments in fixed income instruments issued by sovereign entities may decline in value as a result of default or other adverse credit event resulting from an issuer’s inability or unwillingness to make principal or interest payments in a timely fashion.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investment Risk is the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, increased risk of delayed settlement of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates of portfolio securities, and the risk of unfavorable foreign government actions, including nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes, diplomatic developments or the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers.
Foreign Loan Originations Risk is the risk associated with a Fund originating loans to foreign entities and individuals, including foreign (non-U.S.) and emerging market entities and individuals, which may involve risks not ordinarily associated with exposure to loans to U.S. entities and individuals due to mor or less governmental supervision and regulation than exists in the U.S. Due to difference in legal systems, there may be difficulty in obtaining or enforcing a court judgment outside the U.S. In addition, to the extent that investments are made in a limited number of countries, events in those countries will have a more significant impact on a Fund. A Fund’s loans to foreign entities and individuals may be subject to risks of increased transaction costs, potential delays in settlement or unfavorable differences between the U.S. economy and foreign economies.
High Yield Securities Risk is the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as “junk bonds”) are subject to greater levels of credit, call and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments, and may be more volatile than higher-rated securities of similar maturity.
Inflation/Deflation Risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from the Fund’s investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of payments at future dates. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s portfolio could decline. Deflation Risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio and common shares.
Interest Rate Risk is the risk that fixed income securities and other instruments in the Fund’s portfolio will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a short average portfolio duration.
Issuer Risk is the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.

Large Shareholder Risk is the risk that, to the extent a large proportion of the Common Shares are held by a small number of shareholders (or a single shareholder), including affiliates of the Investment Manager, a Fund may be adversely impacted if such shareholders purchase or request repurchases of large amounts of Common Shares. For example, it is possible that in response to a repurchase offer, the total amount of Common Shares tendered by a small number of shareholders (or a single shareholder) may exceed the number of Common Shares that a Fund has offered to repurchase. If a repurchase offer is oversubscribed, a Fund will repurchase only a pro rata portion of the Common Shares tendered by each shareholder. In addition, substantial repurchases of Common Shares could result in a decrease in a Fund’s net assets, resulting in an increase in a Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio.
Leverage Risk is the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and/or borrowings (as well as from any future issuance of preferred shares), delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, magnifying gains and losses and causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged. This means that leverage entails a heightened risk of loss.
Liquidity Risk is the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at an advantageous time or price or possibly require the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations, which could prevent the Fund from taking advantage of other investment opportunities. Additionally, the market for certain investments may become illiquid under adverse market or economic conditions independent of any specific adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer.
Loans and Other Indebtedness; Loan Participations and Assignments Risk is the risk that scheduled interest or principal payments will not be made in a timely manner or at all, either of which may adversely affect the values of a loan. Additionally, there is a risk that the collateral underlying a loan may be unavailable or insufficient to satisfy a borrower’s obligation, and the Fund could become part owner of any collateral if a loan is foreclosed, subjecting a Fund to costs associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling a participation, there is a risk that a Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set-off between the lender and the borrower. There is the risk that a Fund may have difficulty disposing of loans and loan participations due to the lack of a liquid secondary market for loans and loan participations. To the extent a Fund acquires loans, including bank loans, a Fund may be subject to greater levels of credit risk, call risk, settlement risk and liquidity risk than funds that do not acquire such instruments.
Loan Origination Risk is the risk associated with the fact that the Fund may also seek to originate loans, including, without limitation, residential and/or commercial real estate or mortgage-related loans, consumer loans or other types of loans, which may be in the form of whole loans, secured and unsecured notes, senior and second lien loans, mezzanine loans or similar investments. A Fund may originate loans to corporations and/or other legal entities and individuals, including foreign (non-U.S.) entities and individuals. Such borrowers may have credit ratings that are determined by one or more NRSROs or PIMCO to be below investment grade. A Fund may subsequently offer such investments for sale to third parties; provided, that there is no assurance that a Fund will complete

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
the sale of such an investment. If a Fund is unable to sell, assign or successfully close transactions for the loans that it originates, a Fund will be forced to hold its interest in such loans for an indeterminate period of time. This could result in a Fund’s investments being over-concentrated in certain borrowers. A Fund will be responsible for the expenses associated with originating a loan (whether or not consummated). This may include significant legal and due diligence expenses, which will be indirectly borne by a Fund and Common Shareholders.
Management Risk is the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that actual or potential conflicts of interest, legislative, regulatory, or tax restrictions, policies or developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund and may cause PIMCO to restrict or prohibit participation in certain investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved.
Market Risk is the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries.
Market Disruptions Risk is the risk of investment and operational risks associated with financial, economic and other global market developments and disruptions, including those arising from war, terrorism, market manipulation, government interventions, defaults and shutdowns, political changes or diplomatic developments, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics) and natural/environmental disasters, which can all negatively impact the securities markets, and cause a Fund to lose value. These events can also impair the technology and other operational systems upon which a Fund’s service providers, including PIMCO as a Fund’s investment adviser, rely, and could otherwise disrupt a Fund’s service providers’ ability to fulfill their obligations to a Fund.
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Instruments Risk is the risk that is associated with the fact that a Fund may invest in mortgage-related assets, which may include but are not limited to, any security, instrument or other asset that is related to U.S. or non-U.S. mortgages, including those issued by private originators or issuers, or issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities or by non-U.S. governments or authorities, such as, without limitation, assets representing interests in, collateralized or backed by, or whose values are determined in whole or in part by reference to any number of mortgages or pools of mortgages or the payment experience of such mortgages or pools of mortgages, including Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (“REMICs”), which could include resecuritizations of REMICs (“Re-REMICs”), mortgage pass-through securities, inverse floaters, collateralized mortgage obligations, collateralized loan obligations, multiclass pass-through securities, private mortgage pass-through securities, stripped mortgage securities (generally interest-only and principal-only securities), mortgage-related asset backed securities and mortgage-related loans (including through participations, assignments, originations and whole loans), including commercial and residential mortgage loans. Exposures to mortgage-related assets through derivatives or other financial instruments will be considered investments in mortgage-related assets.

Municipal Bond Risk is the risk that the Fund may be affected significantly by the economic, regulatory or political developments affecting the ability of issuers of debt securities whose interest is, in the opinion of bond counsel for the issuer at the time of issuance, exempt from federal income tax to pay interest or repay principal.
New/Small Fund Risk is the risk that a new or smaller fund’s performance may not represent how a Fund is expected to or may perform in the long term. In addition, new funds have limited operating histories for investors to evaluate and new and smaller funds may not attract sufficient assets to achieve investment and trading efficiencies.
Non-Diversification Risk is the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are “non-diversified” may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are “diversified.”
Operational Risk is the risk arising from factors such as processing errors, human errors, inadequate or failed internal or external processes, failures in systems and technology, changes in personnel and errors caused by third-party service providers. The occurrence of any of these failures, errors or breaches could result in a loss of information, regulatory scrutiny, reputational damage or other events, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Fund. While the Fund seeks to minimize such events through controls and oversight, there may still be failures that could cause losses to the Fund.
Other Investment Companies Risk is the risk that Common Shareholders may be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment companies. In addition, these other investment companies may utilize leverage, in which case an investment would subject the Fund to additional risks associated with leverage.
Platform Risk is the risk resulting from the fact that the Alt Lending ABS in which a Fund invests are typically not listed on any securities exchange and not registered under the Securities Act. In addition, a Fund anticipates that these instruments may only be sold to a limited number of investors and may have a limited or non-existent secondary market. Accordingly, a Fund currently expects that certain of the investments in Alt Lending ABS will face heightened levels of liquidity risk. Although currently, there is generally no active reliable, secondary market for certain Alt Lending ABS, a secondary market for these Alt Lending ABS may develop. If a Fund purchases Alt Lending ABS on an alternative lending platform, the Fund will have the right to receive principal and interest payments due on loans underlying the Alt Lending ABS only if the platform servicing the loans receives the borrower’s payments on such loans and passes such payments through to a Fund. If a borrower is unable or fails to make payments on a loan for any reason, a Fund may be greatly limited in its ability to recover any outstanding principal or interest due, as (among other reasons) a Fund may not have direct recourse against the borrower or may otherwise be limited in its ability to directly enforce its rights under the loan, whether through the borrower or the platform through which such loan was originated, the loan may be unsecured or under-collateralized and/or it may be impracticable to commence a legal proceeding against the defaulting borrower.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
Portfolio Turnover Risk is the risk that a high portfolio turnover will result in greater expenses to the Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may result in realization of taxable capital gains (including short-term capital gains, which are generally taxed to shareholders at ordinary income tax rates when distributed net of short-term capital losses and net long-term capital losses) and may adversely affect the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Potential Conflicts of Interest Risk — Allocation of Investment Opportunities is the risk that PIMCO’s interests or the interests of its clients may conflict with those of the Funds and the results of the Fund’s investment activities may differ from those of the Fund’s affiliates, or another account managed by the Fund’s affiliates, and it is possible that the Fund could sustain losses during periods in which one or more of the Fund’s affiliates and/or other accounts managed by PIMCO or its affiliates, including proprietary accounts, achieve profits on their trading.
Privacy and Data Security Risk is the risk resulting from the fact that the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) and other laws limit the disclosure of certain non-public personal information about a consumer to non-affiliated third parties and require financial institutions to disclose certain privacy policies and practices with respect to information sharing with both affiliates and non-affiliated third parties. Many states and a number of non-U.S. jurisdictions have enacted privacy and data security laws requiring safeguards on the privacy and security of consumers’ personally identifiable information. Other laws deal with obligations to safeguard and dispose of private information in a manner designed to avoid its dissemination. Privacy rules adopted by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and SEC implement GLBA and other requirements and govern the disclosure of consumer financial information by certain financial institutions, ranging from banks to private investment funds. U.S. platforms following certain models generally are required to have privacy policies that conform to these GLBA and other requirements. In addition, such platforms typically have policies and procedures intended to maintain platform participants’ personal information securely and dispose of it properly.
Privately-Issued Mortgage-Related Securities Risk is the risk of nonpayment because there are no direct or indirect government or agency guarantees of payments in the pools created by non-governmental issuers.
Private Placements Risk is the risk that securities received in a private placement may be subject to strict restrictions on resale, and there may be no liquid secondary market or ready purchaser for such securities. Therefore, the Fund may be unable to dispose of such securities when it desires to do so, or at the most favorable time or price. Private placements may also raise valuation risks.
Real Estate Risk is the risk associated with investing in real estate investments, including investments in equity or debt securities issued by private and public REITs, real estate operating companies (‘REOCs”), private or public real estate-related loans and real estate-linked derivative instruments. The Fund will be subject to the risks associated with owning real estate and with the real estate industry generally.
Regulatory Changes Risk is the risk that is associated with the fact that financial entities, such as investment companies and investment advisers, are generally subject to extensive government
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
regulation and intervention. Government regulation and/or intervention may change the way the Fund is regulated, affect the expenses incurred directly by the Fund and the value of its investments, and limit and /or preclude the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objectives. Government regulation may change frequently and may have significant adverse consequences. The Fund and the Investment Manager have historically been eligible for exemptions from certain regulations. However, there is no assurance that the Fund and the Investment Manager will continue to be eligible for such exemptions.
Regulatory Risk — LIBOR is the risk related to the anticipated discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Certain instruments held by the Fund rely in some fashion upon LIBOR. Although the transition process away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined in advance of the anticipated discontinuation date, there remains uncertainty regarding the nature of any replacement rate, and any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or on certain instruments in which the Fund invests can be difficult to ascertain. The transition process may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR and may result in a reduction in the value of certain instruments held by the Fund.
Reinvestment Risk is the risk that income from the Fund’s portfolio will decline if and when the Fund invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called debt obligations at market interest rates that are below the portfolio’s current earnings rate. The Fund also may choose to sell higher yielding portfolio securities and to purchase lower yielding securities to achieve greater portfolio diversification, because the portfolio managers believe the current holdings are overvalued or for other investment-related reasons.
Repurchase Agreements Risk is the risk that, if the party agreeing to repurchase a security should default, a Fund will seek to sell the securities which it holds, which could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
Repurchase Offers Risk is the risk that results from the fact that the Funds are “interval funds” and, in order to provide liquidity to shareholders, the Fund, subject to applicable law, intends to conduct quarterly repurchase offers of the Fund’s outstanding Common Shares at NAV, subject to approval of the Board. The Fund believes that these repurchase offers are generally beneficial to the Fund’s shareholders, and repurchases generally will be funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. However, repurchase offers and the need to fund repurchase obligations may affect the ability of the Fund to be fully invested or force the Fund to maintain a higher percentage of its assets in liquid investments, which may harm the Fund’s investment performance. Moreover, diminution in the size of the Fund through repurchases may result in untimely sales of portfolio securities (with associated imputed transaction costs, which may be significant), and may limit the ability of the Fund to participate in new investment opportunities or to achieve its investment objectives.
Risk Retention Investment Risk is the risk associated with the Fund’s investments in risk retention tranches of commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) or other eligible securitizations, if any (“risk retention tranches”), which are eligible residual interests typically held by the sponsors of such securitizations pursuant to the final rules implementing the credit risk retention requirements of Section 941 of the Dodd-Frank Act (the “U.S. Risk Retention Rules”). There can be no assurance that the applicable federal agencies charged with the implementation of the final U.S. Risk Retention
| | | | | | | | | | |

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
Rules (the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board, the SEC, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency) could not take positions in the future that differ from the interpretation of such rules taken or embodied in such securitizations, or that the final U.S. Risk Retention Rules will not change. Furthermore, if the Fund breaches any undertakings in any Risk Retention Agreement, it will be exposed to claims by the other parties thereto, including for any losses incurred as a result of such breach, which could be significant and exceed the value of the Fund’s investments.
Senior Debt Risk is the risk that a Fund may be subject to greater levels of credit risk than funds that do not invest in below investment grade senior debt. A Fund may also be subject to greater levels of liquidity risk than funds that do not invest in senior debt. Restrictions on transfers in loan agreements, a lack of publicly available information and other factors may, in certain instances, make senior debt more difficult to sell at an advantageous time or price than other types of securities or instruments.
Short Exposure Risk is the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale will not fulfill its contractual obligations, causing a loss to the Fund.
Sovereign Debt Risk is the risk that investments in fixed-income instruments issued by sovereign entities may decline in value as a result of default or other adverse credit event resulting from an issuer’s inability or unwillingness to make principal or interest payments in a timely fashion.
Sovereign Risk is the risk that foreign (non-U.S.) securities may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than in securities of U.S. issuers or securities that trade exclusively in U.S. markets.
Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) Risk is the risk that, because SPACs and similar entities are in essence blank check companies without operating history or ongoing business other than seeking acquisitions, the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. A SPAC’s structure may result in significant dilution of a stockholder’s share value immediately upon the completion of a business combination due to, among other reasons, interests held by the SPAC sponsor, conversion of warrants into additional shares, shares issued in connection with a business combination and/or certain embedded costs. There is no guarantee that the SPACs in which the Fund invests will complete an acquisition or that any acquisitions that are completed will be profitable. Some SPACs may pursue acquisitions only within certain industries or regions, which may increase the volatility of their prices. In addition, these securities, which are typically traded in the over-the-counter market, may be considered illiquid and/or be subject to restrictions on resale.
Structured Investments Risk is the risk that a Fund’s investment in structured products, including structured notes, credit-linked notes and other types of structured products, bear the risks of the underlying investments, index or reference obligation and are subject to counterparty risk. The Fund may have the right to receive payments only from the structured product, and generally does not have direct rights against the issuer or the entity that sold the assets to be securitized. Structured products generally entail risks associated with derivative instruments.
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
Subprime Risk is the risk that loans, and debt instruments collateralized by loans (including Alt Lending ABS), acquired by a Fund may be subprime in quality, or may become subprime in quality. Although there is no specific legal or market definition of “subprime,” subprime loans are generally understood to refer to loans made to borrowers that display poor credit histories and other characteristics that correlate with a higher default risk. Accordingly, subprime loans, and debt instruments secured by such loans, have speculative characteristics and are subject to heightened risks, including the risk of nonpayment of interest or repayment of principal, and the risks associated with investments in high yield securities. In addition, these instruments could be subject to increased regulatory scrutiny. The Fund is not restricted by any particular borrower credit criteria when acquiring loans or debt instruments collateralized by loans.
Subsidiary Risk is the risk that, by investing in a Fund’s Subsidiary, the Fund would be exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiaries’ investments. The Subsidiaries are not registered under the Act and may not be subject to all the investor protections of the Act. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of a subsidiary will be achieved.
Tax Risk is the risk that if, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company under the Tax Code, and were ineligible to or did not otherwise cure such failure, the Fund would be subject to tax on its taxable income at corporate rates and, when such income is distributed, shareholders would be subject to a further tax to the extent of the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits.
U.S. Government Securities Risk is the risk that the obligations supported by (i) the full faith and credit of the United States, (ii) the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, (iii) the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency’s obligations (iv) or only by the credit of the agency, instrumentality or corporation will not be satisfied in full, or that such obligations will decrease in value or default.
Valuation Risk is the risk that fair value pricing used when market quotations are not readily available may not result in adjustments to the prices of securities or other assets, or that fair value pricing may not reflect actual market value. It is possible that the fair value determined in good faith for a security or other asset will be materially different from quoted or published prices, from the prices used by others for the same security or other asset and/or from the value that actually could be or is realized upon the sale of that security or other asset.
Zero-Coupon Bond, Step-Ups and Payment-in-Kind Securities Risk is the risk presented by the market prices of zero-coupon, step ups and payment-in-kind securities generally being more volatile than the prices of securities that pay interest periodically and in cash, and being likely to respond to changes in interest rates to a greater degree than other types of debt securities with similar maturities and credit quality. In addition, as these securities may not pay cash interest, the Fund’s investment exposure to these securities and their risks, including credit risk, will increase during the time these securities are held in the Fund’s portfolio.
(b) Other Risks
In general, the Fund may be subject to additional risks, including, but not limited to, risks related to government regulation and intervention in financial markets, operational risks, risks associated with

financial, economic and global market disruptions, and cyber security risks. Please see the Fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. Please see the Important Information section of this report for additional discussion of certain regulatory and market developments that may impact the Fund’s performance.
8. MASTER NETTING ARRANGEMENTS
A Fund may be subject to various netting arrangements (“Master Agreements”) with select counterparties. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and are intended to reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that is intended to improve legal certainty. Each type of Master Agreement governs certain types of transactions. Different types of transactions may be traded out of different legal entities or affiliates of a particular organization, resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single counterparty. As the Master Agreements are specific to unique operations of different asset types, they allow a Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single Master Agreement with a counterparty. For financial reporting purposes the Statements of Assets and Liabilities generally present derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis, which reflects the full risks and exposures prior to netting.
Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under most Master Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold, which typically ranges from zero to $250,000 depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Agreement. United States Treasury Bills and U.S. dollar cash are generally the preferred forms of collateral, although other securities may be used depending on the terms outlined in the applicable Master Agreement. Securities and cash pledged as collateral are reflected as assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either a component of Investments at value (securities) or Deposits with counterparty. Cash collateral received is not typically held in a segregated account and as such is reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Deposits from counterparty. The market value of any securities received as collateral is not reflected as a component of NAV. A Fund’s overall exposure to counterparty risk can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the relevant Master Agreement.
Master Repurchase Agreements and Global Master Repurchase Agreements (individually and collectively “Master Repo Agreements”) govern repurchase, reverse repurchase, and certain sale-buyback transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. Master Repo Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral. The market value of transactions under the Master Repo Agreement, collateral pledged or received, and the net exposure by counterparty as of period end are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.
Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“Master Forward Agreements”) govern certain forward settling transactions, such as TBA securities, delayed-delivery or certain sale-buyback transactions by and between a Fund and select counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
maintain provisions for, among other things, transaction initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral. The market value of forward settling transactions, collateral pledged or received, and the net exposure by counterparty as of period end is disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.
Customer Account Agreements and related addenda govern cleared derivatives transactions such as futures, options on futures, and cleared OTC derivatives. Such transactions require posting of initial margin as determined by each relevant clearing agency which is segregated in an account at a futures commission merchant (“FCM”) registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. In the United States, counterparty risk may be reduced as creditors of an FCM cannot have a claim to Fund assets in the segregated account. Portability of exposure reduces risk to the Funds. Variation margin, which reflects changes in market value, is generally exchanged daily, but may not be netted between futures and cleared OTC derivatives unless the parties have agreed to a separate arrangement in respect of portfolio margining. The market value or accumulated unrealized appreciation (depreciation), initial margin posted, and any unsettled variation margin as of period end are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern bilateral OTC derivative transactions entered into by a Fund with select counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral posting and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements. The ISDA Master Agreement may contain additional provisions that add counterparty protection beyond coverage of existing daily exposure if the counterparty has a decline in credit quality below a predefined level or as required by regulation. Similarly, if required by regulation, the Funds may be required to post additional collateral beyond coverage of daily exposure. These amounts, if any, may (or if required by law, will) be segregated with a third-party custodian. To the extent the Funds are required by regulation to post additional collateral beyond coverage of daily exposure, they could potentially incur costs, including in procuring eligible assets to meet collateral requirements, associated with such posting. The market value of OTC financial derivative instruments, collateral received or pledged, and net exposure by counterparty as of period end are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.
9. FEES AND EXPENSES
(a) Management Fee Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement with PIMCO (the “Agreement”), and subject to the supervision of the Board, PIMCO is responsible for providing the Funds investment guidance and policy direction in connection with the management of the Funds, including oral and written research, analysis, advice, and statistical and economic data and information. In addition, pursuant to the Agreement and subject to the general supervision of the Board, PIMCO, at its expense, provides or causes to be furnished most other supervisory and administrative services the Funds require, including but not limited to, expenses of most third-party service providers (e.g., audit, custodial, legal, transfer agency, printing) and other expenses, such as
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | | DECEMBER 31, 2022 | | | 101 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
those associated with insurance, proxy solicitations and mailings for shareholder meetings, New York Stock Exchange listing and related fees, tax services, valuation services and other services the Funds requires for its daily operations.
(b) Distribution and Servicing Fees PIMCO Investments LLC (the “Distributor,” affiliate of PIMCO) serves as the principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of each Fund’s shares pursuant to a distribution contract (“Distribution Contract”) with each Fund, which is subject to annual approval by the Board. The Distributor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PIMCO and an indirect subsidiary of Allianz Asset Management LLC.
Each Distribution and Servicing Plan operates in a manner consistent with Rule 12b-1 under the Act, which regulates the manner in which an open-end investment company may directly or indirectly bear the expenses of distributing its shares. Although neither Fund is an open-end investment company, each Fund has undertaken to comply with the terms of Rule 12b-1 as a condition of an exemptive order under the Act which permits it to have, among other things, a multi-class structure and distribution and shareholder servicing fees. Each Distribution and Servicing Plan permits the respective Fund to compensate the Distributor for providing or procuring through financial firms, distribution, administrative, recordkeeping, shareholder and/or related services with respect to the Class A-1 Common Shares, Class A-2 Common Shares, Class A-3 Common Shares or Class A-4 Common Shares, as applicable. Most or all of the distribution and/ or service fees are paid to financial firms through which Common Shareholders may purchase and/or hold Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Common Shares, as applicable. Because these fees are paid out of the applicable share class’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost of an investment in Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 or Class A-4 Common Shares and may cost a shareholder more than other sales charges.
The Management Fee and maximum Distribution and Servicing Fees for all classes, as applicable, are charged at the annual rates as noted in the following table:

(1) | Management fees calculated based on each Fund’s average daily “total managed assets.” Total managed assets include total assets of a Fund (including assets attributable to any reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, tender option bonds, borrowings and preferred shares that may be outstanding, if any) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, tender option bonds and borrowings). |
(2) | Calculated as a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the applicable class of respective Fund. |
The Distributor also received the contingent deferred sales charges paid by the shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A-2 shares. For the period ended December 31, 2022, the Distributor retained $6,673 representing contingent deferred sales charges from PIMCO Flexible Credit Income Fund.

U.S. GAAP. Without limiting the generality or scope of the foregoing, it is understood that the Funds may bear such expenses either directly or indirectly through contracts or arrangements with PIMCO or an affiliated or unaffiliated third party.
Each of the Trustees of the Board who is not an “interested person” under Section 2(a)(19) of the Act, (the “Independent Trustees”) also serves as a trustee of a number of other closed-end funds for which PIMCO serves as investment manager (the “PIMCO Closed-End Funds”), together with the Funds, PIMCO California Flexible Municipal Income Fund and PIMCO Flexible Municipal Income Fund, each a closed end management investment company managed by PIMCO that is operated as an “interval fund”, and PIMCO Managed Accounts Trust, an open-end management investment company with multiple series for which PIMCO serves as investment adviser and administrator.
The Funds pay no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Manager, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Manager or its affiliates.
(d) Expense Limitation PIMCO has contractually agreed, through November 3, 2023, for PIMCO Flexible Emerging Markets Income Fund and November 1, 2023, for PIMCO Flexible Credit Income Fund to waive its management fee, or reimburse each Fund, to the extent that organizational expenses, pro rata share of expenses related to obtaining or maintaining a Legal Entity Identifier and pro rata Trustees’ fees exceed 0.07% of each Fund’s net assets (the “Expense Limit”). The expense limitation agreement will automatically renew for one-year terms unless PIMCO provides written notice to the Funds at least 30 days’ notice prior to the end of the then current term. Under an expense limitation agreement, in any month in which the investment management agreement is in effect, PIMCO is entitled to reimbursement by a Fund of any portion of the management fee reduced as set forth above (the “Reimbursement Amount”) during the previous thirty-six months, provided that such amount paid to PIMCO will not (i) together with any recoupment of organizational expenses, pro rata share of expenses related to obtaining or maintaining a Legal Entity Identifier and pro rata trustee fees or management fees exceed the Expense Limit; (ii) exceed the total Reimbursement Amount; or (iii) include any amounts previously reimbursed to PIMCO. For the avoidance of doubt, any reimbursement of PIMCO’s management fee pursuant to the expense limitation agreement plus any recoupment of organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees’ fees will not exceed the lesser of (i) the expense limit in effect at the time of waiver or reimbursement and (ii) the expense limit in effect at the time of recoupment. The total recoverable amounts to PIMCO at December 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands†):

Management Agreement. PIMCO’s waiver of management fees under the Management Fee Waiver Agreement is applied first and independently of PIMCO’s obligations under the Expense Limitation Agreement (such that amounts waived pursuant to the Management Fee Waiver Agreement shall not be applied to reduce any waiver or reimbursement obligations PIMCO has under the Expense Limitation Agreement). PIMCO may not seek reimbursement from PIMCO Flexible Emerging Markets Income Fund with respect to the Management Fees waived pursuant to the Management Fee Waiver Agreement.
Pursuant to each Fund’s Expense Limitation Agreement and Management Fee Waiver Agreement, as applicable, waiver amounts are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a component of Waiver and/or Reimbursement by PIMCO.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Manager is a related party. Fees payable to this party are disclosed in Note 9, Fees and Expenses, and the accrued related party fee amounts are disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The Funds are permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain related affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Funds from or to another fund or portfolio that are, or could be, considered an affiliate, or an affiliate of an affiliate, by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with applicable SEC rules and interpretations under the Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Purchases and sales of securities pursuant to applicable SEC rules and interpretations under the Act for the period ended December 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands†):

11. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under each Fund’s organizational documents, each Trustee and officer is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts.

12. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The length of time a Fund has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Fund is known as “portfolio turnover.” Each Fund may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective(s), particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover may involve correspondingly greater transaction costs, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities, which are borne by the Fund. 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 when distributed to shareholders). The transaction costs associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect a Fund’s performance. The portfolio turnover rates are reported in the Financial Highlights.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended December 31, 2022, were as follows (amounts in thousands†):

14. REPURCHASE OFFERING
Each Fund is an “interval fund” and, in order to provide liquidity to shareholders, each Fund, subject to applicable law, conducts quarterly repurchase offers of the Fund’s outstanding Common Shares at NAV, subject to approval of the Board. In all cases such repurchases will be between 5% and 25%, or such other amount as may be permitted under applicable rules and regulations or no-action, exemptive or other relief, of its outstanding Common Shares at NAV, pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Act. Each Fund currently expects to conduct quarterly repurchase offers for 5% of their outstanding Common Shares under ordinary circumstances. Each Fund believes that these repurchase
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
offers are generally beneficial to the Funds’ shareholders, and repurchases generally will be funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. However, repurchase offers and the need to fund repurchase obligations may affect the ability of each Fund to be fully invested or force the Funds to maintain a higher percentage of their assets in liquid investments, which may harm each Funds’ investment performance. Moreover, diminution in the size of each Fund through repurchases may result in untimely sales of portfolio securities (with associated imputed transaction costs, which may be significant), may limit the ability of each Fund to participate in new investment opportunities or to achieve its investment objective and will tend to increase the Funds’ expense ratio per Common Share for remaining shareholders. Each Fund may accumulate cash by holding back (i.e., not reinvesting) payments received in connection with the Funds’ investments. Each Fund believes that payments received in connection with the Funds’ investments will generate sufficient cash to meet the maximum potential amount of the Funds’ repurchase obligations. If at any time cash and other liquid assets held by the Funds are not sufficient to meet the Funds’ repurchase obligations, each Fund intends, if necessary, to sell investments. If, as expected, each Fund employs investment leverage, repurchases of Common Shares would compound the adverse effects of leverage in a declining market. In addition, if a Fund borrows to finance repurchases, interest on that borrowing will negatively affect common shareholders who do not tender their Common Shares by increasing the Funds’ expenses and reducing any net investment income.
If a repurchase offer is oversubscribed, a Fund may determine to increase the amount repurchased by up to 2% of its outstanding shares as of the date of the Repurchase Request Deadline (as defined in each Fund’s prospectus). In the event that the Funds determine not to repurchase more than the repurchase offer amount, or if shareholders tender more than the repurchase offer amount plus 2% of the Funds’ outstanding shares as of the date of the Repurchase Request Deadline, the Funds will repurchase the Common Shares tendered on a pro rata basis, and shareholders will have to wait until the next repurchase offer to make another repurchase request. As a result, shareholders may be unable to liquidate all or a given percentage of their investment in the Funds during a particular repurchase offer. Some shareholders, in anticipation of proration, may tender more Common Shares than they wish to have repurchased in a particular quarter, thereby increasing the likelihood that proration will occur. A shareholder may be subject to market and other risks, and the NAV of Common Shares tendered in a repurchase offer may decline between the Repurchase Request Deadline and the date on which the NAV for tendered Common Shares is determined. In addition, the repurchase of Common Shares by the Funds may be a taxable event to shareholders.
During the period ended December 31, 2022, the Funds engaged in repurchase offers as follows:

15. BASIS FOR CONSOLIDATION
PFLEXLS I LLC, CLM 13648 LLC and MLM 13648 LLC, each a Delaware limited liability company, were formed as Subsidiaries acting as investment vehicles for PIMCO Flexible Credit Income Fund in order to effect certain investments for the Fund consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies in effect from time to time. The Fund’s investment portfolio has been consolidated and includes the portfolio holdings of the Fund and the Subsidiaries. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. This structure was established so that certain loans could be held by a separate legal entity from the Fund. See the table below for details regarding the structure and incorporation as of the period end of the Subsidiaries.

16. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
The Funds are not named as defendants in any material litigation or arbitration proceedings and are not aware of any material litigation or claim pending or threatened against them.
On May 17, 2022, AGI U.S. pleaded guilty in connection with the proceeding United States of America v. Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC. AGI U.S. is an indirect subsidiary of Allianz SE. The conduct resulting in the matter described above occurred entirely within AGI U.S. and did not involve PIMCO or the Distributor, or any personnel of PIMCO or the Distributor. Nevertheless, because of the disqualifying conduct of AGI U.S., their affiliate, PIMCO would have been disqualified from serving as
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
the investment adviser, and the Distributor would have been disqualified from serving as the principal underwriter, to the Funds in the absence of SEC exemptive relief. PIMCO and the Distributor have received exemptive relief from the SEC to permit them to continue serving as investment adviser and principal underwriter for U.S.-registered investment companies, including the Funds.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report.
17. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter 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. Due to the timing of when distributions are made by a Fund, the Fund may be subject to an excise tax of 4% of the amount by which 98% of the Fund’s annual taxable income and 98.2% of net realized gains exceed the distributions from such taxable income and realized gains for the calendar year.
A Fund may be subject to local withholding taxes, including those imposed on realized capital gains. Any applicable foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and may be payable following the sale of any applicable investments.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Manager has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years. As of December 31, 2022, the Funds have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in future tax returns.
The Funds file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Funds’ tax returns are subject to examination by relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return but which can be extended to six years in certain circumstances. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, a fund is permitted to carry forward any new capital losses for an unlimited period. Additionally, such capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term under previous law.
As of their last fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Funds had the following post-effective capital losses with no expiration (amounts in thousands†):

| | | | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | |

(1) | Primary differences, if any, between book and tax net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are attributable to wash sale loss deferrals for federal income tax purposes. |
