About PCGNX

PIMCO GNMA and Government Securities Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with exposure to securities backed by the U.S. government, particularly those issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA). The fund’s core objective is to achieve maximum total return, balancing income generation with preservation of capital through prudent investment strategies. It primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of mortgage-backed and other U.S. government-related securities, providing significant credit quality due to implicit government backing. This fund falls into the intermediate government category, with holdings typically exhibiting durations between 3.5 and 6 years, resulting in moderate sensitivity to interest rate changes and relatively low credit risk compared to other fixed income instruments. The fund distributes income monthly, catering to investors seeking consistent income streams. With holdings that frequently encompass Ginnie Mae securities as well as other U.S. Treasury and agency obligations, the fund plays a key role in providing liquidity and stability within the fixed income segment of the market, particularly for those looking for a conservative core bond allocation.
