About PEBNX

PIMCO Emerging Markets Bond Fund Class I-3 is an institutional share class mutual fund focused on providing exposure to emerging market fixed income. Its primary objective is to seek maximum total return, consistent with capital preservation and prudent investment management. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in a diversified mix of sovereign and corporate debt instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries. It predominantly holds hard-currency and, to a lesser extent, local-currency bonds, supplementing its portfolio with derivatives and futures contracts for risk management and yield enhancement. Led by PIMCO’s experienced management team, this fund emphasizes rigorous portfolio construction and deep credit analysis to navigate the unique risks and opportunities present in emerging market economies. With total net assets around $1.6 billion, it plays a significant role in the emerging markets bond category, offering diversification and potential income to institutional investors. The fund benchmarks its performance against the JPMorgan emerging markets debt indices, reflecting its focus on broadly representing the sector while actively managing currency, credit, and interest rate risks.
