- What does PFOAX invest in?
- This fund's primary objective is met by allocating a minimum of 80% of its assets, in typical market environments, to various fixed income instruments. A key focus is on international fixed income securities economically linked to at least three distinct non-U.S. nations. While the portfolio predominantly consists of high-quality, investment-grade debt, it has the flexibility to invest up to 10% of its total holdings in higher-yield, sub-investment-grade bonds (junk bonds). The ratings for these lower-quality bonds are sourced from agencies such as Moody's, S&P, or Fitch, or determined by PIMCO if they are unrated. The fund is classified as non-diversified.
- What is the expense ratio of PFOAX?
- PIMCO International Bond Fund (U.S. Dollar-Hedged) Class A (PFOAX) charges an expense ratio of 0.97%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations.
- What is PFOAX's dividend yield?
- PFOAX's trailing-twelve-month yield is 3.71%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price.
- What is the duration of PFOAX?
- Effective duration measures PFOAX's sensitivity to interest-rate changes — a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. PFOAX's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website.
- What is the credit quality of PFOAX?
- PFOAX's credit quality breakdown — the share of holdings rated AAA through CCC and below — is published on the fund's factsheet. Higher-quality (investment-grade) funds yield less but carry less default risk than high-yield / junk bond funds.
- What is the yield to maturity of PFOAX?
- Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from PFOAX if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. PFOAX's YTM is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website — it differs from the trailing-12-month yield because YTM reflects current bond prices rather than historical income paid.
