Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder:

It is our pleasure to present to you the Annual Report for the PIMCO Funds: Global Investors Series plc covering the twelve-month

reporting period ended 31 December 2010. On the following pages, please find specific details as to each Fund’s total return

investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance during the reporting period.

As an update, in the financial markets over the reporting period:

Financial markets were volatile stemming from uncertainty regarding the efficacy of government fiscal and quantitative

easing policies orchestrated to help stabilize financial markets due to the Great Recession of 2009. In addition, the sovereign

debt crisis in Europe was an ongoing destabilizing force for financial markets worldwide, and governments across Europe

focused on austerity measures to address growing national deficits. As a result, sovereign bond yields generally increased

towards the latter part of the reporting period even though central banks kept key short-term interest rates at historic low

levels. Investors embraced risk assets in the last quarter of the reporting period on expectations for an improved economic

outlook and announcements of expanded quantitative easing programs.

Diversified commodity index returns posted positive results, as measured by the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total

Return, which returned 16.83% for the reporting period. These positive returns were supported by futures price gains in the

softs sector (such as cotton, coffee and sugar), the grains sector, and the precious and industrial metals sector. The energy

sector, on the other hand, saw overall negative returns for the year as natural gas futures prices declined as a result of rising

rig count and building inventories. However, downside in the energy sector was limited by higher crude oil futures prices,

which gained on expectations for stronger economic growth.

Global inflation-linked bonds posted positive returns, as represented by the Barclays Capital World Government

Inflation-Linked Bond USD Hedged Index, which gained 5.43%. While inflation generally remained muted in most of the developed

world, signs of inflationary pressures arose later in the period with increases in energy and food prices.

Emerging market (“EM”) debt instruments, both local currency and US dollar denominated, outperformed US Treasury

securities during the reporting period. Spreads on EM external debt and yields in EM Local debt instruments tightened as

most EM economies posted strong economic growth rates.

Equity markets worldwide were volatile during the reporting period but staged an impressive rally in the last quarter of the

reporting period, making up from losses posted over the summer months of 2010. International equities, as represented by the

MSCI World Index, returned 11.76%. US equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 15.06% and UK equities, as

represented by the FTSE 100 Index, returned 12.81%. However, Eurozone equities, as measured by the Dow Jones Euro

STOXX 50

®

Total Return Index, declined 2.81% due primarily to ongoing concerns stemming from sovereign debt worries in

the region.

Important Information About the Funds

This material is authorised for use only when preceded or accompanied by the current PIMCO Funds: Global Investors Series

plc Prospectus. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of these Funds carefully

before investing. This and other information is contained in the Prospectus. Please read the Prospectus carefully before you

invest or send money.

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 will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed-income

securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed-income securities can also increase during periods of rising

interest rates, resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of

a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter

durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of

declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.

The Funds may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the

following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high-yield security risk and specific sector investment risks.

The Funds may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve

certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close

out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Funds investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested

in these instruments. Investing in foreign securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be

enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds

generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may

entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified fund.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. On each individual fund summary page in this Report, the Total Return Investment

Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Investment return and

principal value will fluctuate so that Fund shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns do not reflect the

deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Fund distributions or (ii) the redemption of Fund shares. Current performance may be

lower or higher than the performance data quoted. All Fund returns are net of fees and expenses.

An investment in a Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not guaranteed or insured by any government agency. The value of and income from

Shares in the Fund may go up or down and you may not get back the amount you have invested in the Funds.

» The PIMCO EqS Pathfinder Fund™ seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily by investing, under normal circumstances, in Equity Securities (as defined in the Prospectus), including common and preferred stock, of issuers which the Investment Adviser is of the view are undervalued and that are economically tied to at least three countries (one of which may be the United States).

» The Fund commenced operations on 20 May 2010.

» During the reporting period, the Fund’s Institutional class shares returned 10.70% after fees and the Fund’s benchmark index, the MSCI World Index, returned 21.62%. The Fund’s performance, although positive, underperformed its benchmark index by 10.92%.

» Stock selection in the energy sector, particularly exposure to offshore oil drillers such as Seadrill Ltd. and Pride International Inc., contributed to performance as these securities appreciated in value during the reporting period.

» British American Tobacco PLC and Link Real Estate Investment Trust were notable contributors to performance as prices on these investments appreciated, as was the Fund’s exposure to merger arbitrage investments.

» In a market which was largely positive, there were few negative contributors. However financials Bank of America and CBOE (the Chicago Board Option Exchange) both underperformed during the period. » Given the sharp recovery in the equity

markets over the time period under review, the Fund’s market risk hedging strategies contributed negatively to performance during this reporting period as these market risk hedging strategies declined in value as the markets appreciated.

» At the end of the period, the Fund held approximately 67% in equities we believe are undervalued, about 3% (on the long side only) in merger arbitrage investments, approximately 26% in cash equivalents, and held the balance of the portfolio in currency and market risk hedges.

Portfolio Insights

» The Global High Yield Bond Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least two-thirds of its assets in a diversified portfolio of high-yield Fixed Income Securities (as defined in the Prospectus) that are denominated in major world currencies and are rated lower than Baa by Moody’s or BBB by S&P (or, if unrated, determined by the Investment Adviser to be of a comparable quality). » An allocation to investment-grade bonds

detracted from returns as investment grade fixed income underperformed high yield fixed income.

» An overweight to financials benefited performance as banking and insurance issues were among the top performers for the year.

» Security selection within the finance sector detracted from performance as high-grade banks and insurance issuers

underperformed the broader high yield sector.

» An underweight to the consumer non-cyclical sector benefited performance as the consumer non-cyclical sector underperformed the broader high yield index.

» Security selection in the media sector detracted from performance as broadcasting bonds outperformed cable issuers. » An overweight to the chemicals sector

added to performance as this sector outperformed the overall high yield index.
