If you are an income-focused investor, the big 16%+ yield on PIMCO's Dynamic Income Fund is hard to ignore (it's paid monthly). And after reviewing 7 big PDI risks that investors should consider, this report highlights 5 "often-overlooked" strategies that PIMCO may employ to defend the big yield.

PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund (NYSE:PDI) is a closed-end fixed income fund that pays a monthly distribution and currently offers one of the fattest headline yields in the income market.
PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund remains a hold as NAV erosion persists amid weak earnings and high, unsustainable distributions.

Leverage at 37.09% and significant exposure to high-yield credit and non-agency mortgages heighten sensitivity to further interest rate hikes.
