Allianz U.S. Equity Fund investment strategy
We believe investor sentiment fluctuates more widely than underlying fundamentals which, in turn,
creates mispriced opportunities
We aim to invest in companies whose present valuations suggest low near-term expectations but
that have the prospect for re-rating based on longer-term positive drivers. These types of
investments simultaneously provide more downside risk protection and upside potential
We believe the disciplined application of this approach will generate consistent excess returns over
time within a prudent risk profile

The charts above compare each of the rolling annualised returns, for the period(s), of the composite (gross of fees) and the indicated index, since the first full calendar quarter of composite performance. Data is calculated using quarterly returns. Data gross of fees; calculation at the net asset value (BVI method) based on the assumption that distributions are reinvested and excludes initial charges. Individual costs such as fees, commissions and other charges have not been taken into consideration and would have a negative impact on the performance if they were included. Past performance is not indicative of future performance.

Composite disclaimer
The Firm: Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (AllianzGI US) is an
SEC registered investment adviser that provides investment management and advisory services primarily to separate accounts of institutional clients, and registered and unregistered investment funds. For GIPS purposes, the Firm is defined and held out to the public as the investment management and advisory services provided by AllianzGI US and its SEC registered investment adviser subsidiary NFJ Investment Group LLC; excluding (1) administrative and/or sub adviser oversight services, and (2) separately managed account (wrap) services. Effective April 1, 2013, the scope of AllianzGI US’s investment advisory business now includes assets previously managed by RCM Capital Management LLC (“RCM”) and Caywood-Scholl Capital Management LLC (“Caywood-Scholl”), each of which merged into AllianzGI US on April 1, 2013 (the “Merger”). However, the total Firm assets presented reflect only the assets under management of the Firm prior to the Merger. The Firm's list of composite descriptions, as well as information regarding the Firm's policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations, are available upon request.
Compliance Statement: The Firm claims compliance with the
Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS Standards, including the GIPS Guidance Statement on Performance Record Portability. The Firm intends to claim compliance with GIPS with respect to all assets under management, including all assets previously managed by RCM and Caywood-Scholl, by April 1, 2014. On January 1, 2013, Allianz Global Investors Solutions LLC ("AGIS") merged into AllianzGI US, and therefore the scope of AllianzGI US's investment advisory business now includes the investment advisory services provided by the teams previously associated with AGIS. For the purpose of GIPS, and the verification of the Firm for the period ended December 31, 2012, the Firm does not include the investment advisory services provided by the legacy AGIS teams. AllianzGI US and/or, as applicable, its predecessor firm has been independently verified for the periods from January 1, 1994 through December 31, 2012.
Internal Dispersion: The internal dispersion is an equal-weighted
dispersion measure that explains the deviation of gross annual account returns from the Composite annual account return. Assuming “normal” distribution of returns, plus or minus one standard deviation from the mean return encompasses 68% of all possible outcomes. The internal dispersion may not be meaningful for composites consisting of five or fewer portfolios or for periods of less than one full year.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Gross returns
do not give effect to investment advisory fees, which would reduce such returns. Investment advisory fees are described further in Form ADV Part 2A Brochure of the investment adviser. Advisory fees deducted periodically from accounts can have an impact on performance. As an example, the effect of investment advisory fees on the total value of a portfolio assuming (1) $1,000,000 investment, (2) portfolio return of 5% per year, and (3) 1.00% annual investment advisory fee would be $10,268.81 in the first year, $56,741.68 over five years, and $129,160.05 over ten years. Actual fees charged may vary by portfolio due to various conditions, including account size. The net-of fee results for individual accounts and for different time periods may vary.
Unless otherwise noted, equity index performance is calculated with gross dividends reinvested and estimated tax withheld, and bond index performance includes all payments to bondholders, if any. Indexes are referred to for comparative purposes only and are not intended to parallel the risk or investment style of the portfolios in the Composite. Indexes do not utilize leverage. Index calculations do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions or other expenses of investing. Investors may not make direct investments into any index. Index data contained herein (and all trademarks related thereto) are owned by the indicated index provider, and may not be redistributed. The information herein has not been approved by the index provider.
Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the Firm's policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. The Disciplined U.S. Core composite has been examined for each of the shown periods ended December 31, 2003 through December 31, 2012. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request.
The Composite: Disciplined U.S. Core Composite (the “Composite”), includes all fee-paying, discretionary, Disciplined Core portfolios managed against the S&P 500 Index. The Composite was created in December 1994. The Composite includes all actual fee paying discretionary institutional and mutual fund accounts (including sub-advisory relationships) with comparable investment objectives and risks, managed by AllianzGI US for at least one full month. All earnings are reinvested. From time to time, when observable inputs and prices are not available or appropriate for a security in a portfolio, the Firm will make a fair market value determination for such security based on the best information available under the circumstances.
Portfolio Returns: Returns are calculated on a total return basis,
including all dividends (income & expense) and interest, accrued income, realized and unrealized gains or losses, and are net of all brokerage commissions, execution costs and without provision for federal or state income taxes. Performance results are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Fees: Performance results stated to be “gross” do not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees. Gross performance results earned on behalf of AllianzGI US’s clients will be reduced by AllianzGI US’s advisory fees. Net performance results, which reflect the deduction of actual investment advisory fees and may include performance fees, are also displayed. Net of fee returns for portfolios for which AllianzGI US acts as a sub-adviser are calculated by deducting the sub-advisory fees paid to AllianzGI US. AllianzGI US investment advisory fees are usually accrued monthly based on the market value of the assets in a portfolio, including cash or its equivalent, held for investment, at the end of each month. AllianzGI US’s standard advisory fees, as reported in Form ADV Part 2A Brochure for the investment style described herein, are 0.65% on the first $20 million, 0.55% on the next $50 million, 0.50% on the next $100 million, 0.45% on the next $250 million.
Index: The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500
stocks that attempts to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing major industries. Investors may not make direct investments into any index. All returns presented are calculated using U.S. dollars.
