BOND has nearly doubled its AUM to $5.5 billion in the past two years and has outperformed its actively managed peers and passive benchmark. The fund primarily invests in investment-grade MBS bonds and Treasuries, with a portfolio duration of 6.5 years, placing it in the intermediate duration category. While BOND's annualized volatility of 7.4% is higher than the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index's 5%, its superior total return performance suggests that the active management's risk-taking has been justified.

PIMCO Active Bond Exchange-Traded Fund ETF is in focus as a volatile credit environment sets the scene for active bond management. BOND ETF's commentary suggests it remains committed to intermediate term treasuries, CLOs, and RMBS. Moreover, recent enterprise-wide commentary suggests that PIMCO is seeking EU exposure. We support intermediate-to-long-term U.S. treasury and CLO exposure. However, we highlight risks in RMBS and dislike the vehicle's disregard of investment grade corporate credit.

The described fund is an investment entity that focuses on deploying its assets across a broad range of fixed income securities with different maturity terms. Its investment strategy encompasses a heavy emphasis on ensuring at least 80% of its assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of fixed income instruments. These assets can be represented through various derivative forms, including forwards, options, futures contracts, or swap agreements, indicating a flexible approach to securing and leveraging debt securities. Predominantly, the fund invests in investment-grade debt securities, ensuring a stable and less risky investment environment. However, it retains the capability to diversify and potentially enhance returns by investing up to 30% of its total assets in high-yield securities. These high-yield investments are determined based on ratings from esteemed agencies such as Moody's, S&P, or Fitch or are otherwise internally assessed by PIMCO when not officially rated. Through this strategic balance, the fund seeks to achieve a blend of stability and growth by navigating the complex landscape of fixed income investments.
The fund's primary offering is its diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments, focusing on ensuring a stable and potentially lucrative investment. By including a varied maturity range of debt securities, it allows investors to balance risk and return effectively. This diversified approach aims at capital preservation while seeking returns through interest income and potential capital appreciation.
A key component of the fund's investment strategy includes the use of forwards, options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. This allows the fund to hedge against potential losses, speculate on future movements in the fixed income markets, and increase the portfolio's overall exposure to desired asset classes or risk levels without necessarily increasing the capital at stake.
The fund's allocations are predominantly within investment-grade debt securities, which are rated for quality and stability by renowned agencies such as Moody’s, S&P, or Fitch. This ensures that a significant portion of the fund’s assets is invested in lower-risk securities. Additionally, it offers an avenue for higher risk and potentially higher return investments through allocating up to 30% of its total assets in high-yield securities. This mix caters to investors looking for a balanced approach to fixed income investment, combining safety with the opportunity for increased yield.
