Shares of the Private Account Portfolio Series may also be purchased by certain investors outside of the United States consistent with applicable regulatory requirements. This Amendment is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of any offer to buy, any security to the public within the meaning of the 1933 Act.

Principal Investment Strategies
The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in a portfolio of asset-backed securities of varying maturities and short-term investments, which may be represented by options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. Assets not invested in asset-backed securities or short-term investments may be invested in other types of Fixed Income Instruments. “Fixed Income Instruments” includes bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public or private-sector entities. Generally, such investments will be used to cover forward exposure and have an aggregate duration that normally will not exceed one year. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates.
The average duration of the Portfolio varies based on the strategy currently being used by PIMCO in managing the assets of the Portfolio within the overall PIMCO private account management program. In addition, the dollar-weighted average maturity or dollar-weighted average life of the portion of the Portfolio’s portfolio comprised of short-term investments, under normal circumstances, is expected not to exceed three years.
The Portfolio may invest without limitation in high yield asset-backed securities (including mortgage-related securities) (“junk bonds”) rated below Baa by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. Assets not invested in asset-backed securities will be invested in securities rated investment grade. The Portfolio may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers only if the securities are U.S. dollar-denominated. The Portfolio may not invest in securities of issuers that are economically tied to emerging market countries.
The Portfolio may purchase investments on an extended settlement basis. The Portfolio may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy backs or dollar rolls). The Portfolio may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred securities.
Investment Adviser/Portfolio Manager
  
PIMCO serves as the investment adviser for the Portfolio. The Portfolio’s portfolio is managed by Daniel J. Ivascyn. Mr. Ivascyn is Group Chief Investment Officer and Managing Director of PIMCO and he has managed the Portfolio since its inception in October 2000.

Principal Investment Strategies
The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments that economically are tied to emerging market countries and short-term investments, which may be represented by options, futures contracts, swap agreements, or mortgage- or asset-backed securities. “Fixed Income Instruments” includes, bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. PIMCO generally considers an instrument to be economically tied to an emerging market country if the issuer or guarantor is a government of an emerging market country (or any political subdivision, agency, authority or instrumentality of such government), if the issuer or guarantor is organized under the laws of an emerging market country, or if the currency of settlement of the security is a currency of an emerging market country. With respect to derivative instruments, PIMCO generally considers such instruments to be economically tied to emerging market countries if the underlying assets are currencies of emerging market countries (or baskets or indexes of such currencies), or instruments or securities that are issued or guaranteed by governments of emerging market countries or by entities organized under the laws of emerging market countries.
PIMCO has broad discretion to identify countries that it considers to qualify as emerging markets. In making investments in emerging market securities, the Portfolio emphasizes those countries with relatively low gross national product per capita and with the potential for rapid economic growth. Emerging market countries are generally located in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Eastern Europe. PIMCO will select the country and currency composition based on its evaluation of relative interest rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, monetary and fiscal policies, trade and current account balances, and any other
specific factors it believes to be relevant. The Portfolio may invest in securities whose return is based on the return of an emerging market, such as a derivative instrument, rather than investing directly in securities of issuers from emerging markets.
The average duration of the Portfolio varies based on the strategy currently being used by PIMCO in managing the assets of the Portfolio within the overall PIMCO private account management program. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. In addition, the dollar-weighted average maturity or dollar-weighted average life of the portion of the Portfolio’s portfolio comprised of short-term investments, under normal circumstances, is expected not to exceed three years.
The Portfolio may invest substantially all of its assets in high yield securities (“junk bonds”) rated B or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality, subject to a maximum of 25% of its total assets in securities rated B. In the event that ratings services assign different ratings to the same security, PIMCO will use the highest rating as the credit rating for that security. The Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified Portfolio.
The Portfolio may purchase instruments on an extended settlement basis. The Portfolio may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy backs or dollar rolls). The Portfolio may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred securities.

Principal Investment Strategies
The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in high yield investments (“junk bonds”) and short-term investments, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. High yield investments include securities (i) rated below investment grade by each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) that provides a rating on such investment or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality, or (ii) comprising the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield, BB-B Rated Index. The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities rated below B by Moody’s, or equivalently rated by S&P or Fitch, or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. In the event that ratings services assign different ratings to the same security, PIMCO will use the highest rating as the credit rating for that security. Assets not invested in high yield securities or noninvestment grade short-term investments may be invested in investment grade Fixed Income Instruments, including investment grade short-term investments. “Fixed Income Instruments” includes bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities.
The average duration of the Portfolio varies based on the strategy currently being used by PIMCO in managing the assets of the Portfolio within the overall PIMCO private account management program. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s
price to changes in interest rates. In addition, the dollar-weighted average maturity or dollar-weighted average life of the portion of the Portfolio’s portfolio comprised of short-term investments, under normal circumstances, is expected not to exceed three years.
The Portfolio may invest without limit in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Portfolio will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets. The Portfolio may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries (this limitation does not apply to investment grade sovereign debt denominated in the local currency with less than 1 year remaining to maturity, which means the Portfolio may invest in such instruments without limitation subject to any applicable legal or regulatory limitation).
The Portfolio may invest, without limitation, in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements, subject to applicable law and any other limitations described in this Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum Supplement, and may purchase instruments on an extended settlement basis. The Portfolio may invest all of its assets in mortgage- or asset-backed securities. The Portfolio may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy backs or dollar rolls). The Portfolio may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred securities.

The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of “Fixed Income Instruments” of varying maturities, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. “Fixed Income Instruments” include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The average portfolio duration of this Portfolio will vary based on PIMCO’s market forecasts and will normally vary within plus half a year of the portfolio duration of the securities comprising the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which as of May 31, 2021 was 1.95 years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates.
The Portfolio may invest substantially all of its assets in investment grade debt securities rated Baa or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. In the event that ratings services assign different ratings to the same security, PIMCO will use the highest rating as the credit rating for that security. The Portfolio may invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies, and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Portfolio will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 5% of its total assets. The Portfolio may invest up to 5% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries (this limitation does not apply to investment grade sovereign debt denominated in the local currency with less than 1
year remaining to maturity, which means the Portfolio may invest, together with any other investments denominated in foreign currencies, up to 15% of its total assets in such instruments).

Principal Investment Strategies
The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. “Fixed Income Instruments” include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The average portfolio duration of this Portfolio will vary based on PIMCO’s market forecasts and will normally vary within plus half a year of the portfolio duration of the securities comprising the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index, which as of May 31, 2021 was 3.92 years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates.
The Portfolio may invest substantially all of its assets in investment grade debt securities rated Baa or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. In the event that ratings services assign different ratings to the same security, PIMCO will use the highest rating as the credit rating for that security. The Portfolio may invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies, and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Portfolio will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 5% of its total assets. The Portfolio may invest up to 5% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries (this limitation does not apply to investment grade sovereign debt denominated in the local currency with less than 1
year remaining to maturity, which means the Portfolio may invest, together with any other investments denominated in foreign currencies, up to 15% of its total assets in such instruments).
The Portfolio may invest, without limitation, in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, or in mortgage or asset-backed securities, subject to applicable law and any other limitations described in this Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum Supplement. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales. The Portfolio may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy backs or dollar rolls).

Principal Investment Strategies
The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of mortgage-related securities of varying maturities and short-term investments, which may be represented by options, futures contracts, swap agreements, or asset backed securities. Assets not invested in mortgage-related securities or short-term investments may be invested in other types of Fixed Income Instruments. “Fixed Income Instruments” includes, bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. Generally, such investments will be used to cover forward exposure and have an aggregate duration that normally will not exceed one year. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates.
The average duration of the Portfolio varies based on the strategy currently being used by PIMCO in managing the assets of the Portfolio within the overall PIMCO private account management program. In addition, the dollar-weighted average maturity or dollar-weighted average life of the portion of the Portfolio’s portfolio comprised of short-term investments, under normal circumstances, is expected not to exceed three years.
The Portfolio invests primarily in investment grade securities, but may invest up to 5% of its total assets in mortgage-related high yield instruments (“junk bonds”) rated below Baa by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor’s
Ratings Services (“S&P”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. In the event that ratings services assign different ratings to the same security, PIMCO will use the highest rating as the credit rating for that security. The Portfolio may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers only if the securities are U.S. dollar-denominated. The Portfolio may not invest in securities of issuers that are economically tied to emerging market countries.
The Portfolio may invest without limitation in any issue of mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities and in any single issuer of such securities. The Portfolio may only invest up to 5% of its total assets in each issue of non-U.S. Government Securities and will not invest more than 10% of its total assets in any single issuer of such securities.
The Portfolio may purchase investments on an extended settlement basis. The Portfolio may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy backs or dollar rolls). The Portfolio may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred securities.

The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in a portfolio of fixed income securities of varying maturities issued by or on behalf of states and local governments and their agencies, authorities and other instrumentalities (“Municipal Securities”), or in instruments that provide exposure to the Municipal Securities sector, such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. Assets not invested in Municipal Securities may be invested in other types of Fixed Income Instruments. “Fixed Income Instruments” includes, bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non- U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Portfolio may also invest in securities issued by entities whose underlying assets are Municipal Securities, including without limitation, residual interest bonds.
Although the Portfolio primarily invests in Municipal Securities or instruments providing exposure to Municipal Securities, the Portfolio does not seek to minimize taxable income and realized capital gains, and, consequently, the Portfolio may generate substantial taxable income and gains. A portion of the Portfolio’s distributions may also be subject to alternative minimum tax. The Portfolio may invest more than 25% of its total assets in bonds of issuers in California and New York. The Portfolio may also invest 25% or more of its total assets in Municipal Securities that finance similar projects, such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities, and 25% or more of its total assets in industrial development bonds.
The average duration of the Portfolio varies based on the strategy currently being used by Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in managing the assets of the Portfolio within the overall PIMCO private account management program. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in
interest rates. The Portfolio will seek income that is high relative to prevailing rates from Municipal Securities. Capital appreciation, if any, generally arises from decreases in interest rates or improving credit fundamentals for a particular state, municipality or issuer.
The Portfolio may invest only in investment grade securities. The Portfolio may also invest in options, futures contracts, and swap agreements, and purchase instruments on an extended settlement basis. The Portfolio may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy backs or dollar rolls). The Portfolio may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred securities.

The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net assets in inflation-indexed bonds of varying maturities issued by the U.S. and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, and corporations, which may be represented by options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. Assets not invested in inflation-indexed bonds may be invested in other types of Fixed Income Instruments. “Fixed Income Instruments” includes, bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities.
Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities that are structured to provide protection against inflation. The value of the bond’s principal or the interest rate paid on the bond is adjusted to track changes in an official inflation measure. The U.S. Treasury uses the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers as the inflation measure. Inflation-indexed bonds issued by governments other than the United States are generally adjusted to reflect a comparable inflation index, calculated by that government.
The average duration of the Portfolio varies based on the strategy currently being used by PIMCO in managing the assets of the Portfolio within the overall PIMCO private account management program. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates.
The Portfolio may invest only in investment grade securities.

The Portfolio may not invest in securities of issuers that are economically tied to emerging market countries. The Portfolio will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets.

16  Offering Memorandum | Private Account Portfolio Series

Offering Memorandum

Description of Principal Risks
The value of your investment in a Portfolio changes with the values of Portfolio’s investments. Many factors can affect those values. The factors that are most likely to have a material effect on a particular Portfolio’s holdings as a whole are called “principal risks.” This section describes the principal risks of investing in each Portfolio. Each Portfolio may be subject to additional risks other than those described below because the types of investments made by a Portfolio can change over time. Securities and investment techniques mentioned in this summary that appear in bold type are described in greater detail under “Characteristics and Risks of Securities and Investment Techniques.” That section and “Investment Objectives and Policies” in the Offering Memorandum Supplement also include more information about the Portfolios, their investments and the related risks. There is no guarantee that a Portfolio will be able to achieve its investment objective. It is possible to lose money by investing in a Portfolio.
Small Portfolio Risk
A smaller Portfolio may not grow to or maintain an economically viable size to achieve investment or trading efficiencies, which may negatively impact performance and/or force the Portfolio to liquidate. Additionally, a smaller Portfolio may be more adversely affected by large purchases or redemptions of Portfolio shares, which can occur at any time and may impact the Portfolio in the same manner as a high volume of purchases or redemptions.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities and other instruments in a Portfolio’s portfolio will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by a Portfolio is likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Interest rate changes can be sudden and unpredictable, and a Portfolio may lose money as a result of movements in interest rates. A Portfolio may not be able to hedge against changes in interest rates or may choose not to do so for cost or other reasons. In addition, any hedges may not work as intended.
Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. The values of equity and other non-fixed income securities may also decline due to fluctuations in interest rates. Inflation-indexed bonds, including Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”), decline in value when real interest rates rise. In certain interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, inflation-indexed bonds may experience greater losses than other fixed income securities with similar durations.
Variable and floating rate securities generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. Inverse floating rate securities may decrease in value if interest rates increase. Inverse floating rate securities may also exhibit greater price volatility than a fixed rate obligation with similar credit quality. When a Portfolio holds variable or floating rate securities, a decrease (or, in the case of inverse floating rate securities, an increase) in market interest rates will adversely affect the income received from such securities and the NAV of the Portfolios' shares.
A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates or yields of U.S. Treasury securities (or yields of other types of bonds) to rise (e.g., central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions, etc.). This is especially true under current conditions because interest rates and bond yields are near historically low levels. Thus, the Portfolios currently face a heightened level of risk associated with rising interest rates and/or bond yields. This could be driven by a variety of factors, including but not limited to central bank monetary policies, changing inflation or real growth rates, general economic conditions, increasing bond issuances or reduced market demand for low yielding investments.
During periods of very low or negative interest rates, a Portfolio may be unable to maintain positive returns. Interest rates in the U.S. and many parts of the world, including certain European countries, are at or near historically low levels. Certain European countries have recently experienced negative interest rates on certain fixed income instruments. Very low or negative interest rates may magnify interest rate risk. Changing interest rates, including rates that fall below zero, may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from a Portfolio’s performance to the extent a Portfolio is exposed to such interest rates.
Measures such as average duration may not accurately reflect the true interest rate sensitivity of a Portfolio. This is especially the case if a Portfolio consists of securities with widely varying durations. Therefore, if a Portfolio has an average duration that suggests a certain level of interest rate risk, a Portfolio may in fact be subject to greater interest rate risk than the average would suggest. This risk is greater to the extent a Portfolio uses leverage or derivatives in connection with the management of a Portfolio.
Convexity is an additional measure used to understand a security’s or portfolio‘s interest rate sensitivity. Convexity measures the rate of change of duration in response to changes in interest rates. With respect to a security’s price, a larger convexity (positive or negative) may imply more dramatic price changes in response to changing interest rates. Convexity may be positive or negative. Negative convexity implies that interest rate increases

result in increased duration, meaning increased sensitivity in prices in response to rising interest rates. Thus, securities with negative convexity, which may include bonds with traditional call features and certain mortgage-backed securities, may experience greater losses in periods of rising interest rates. Accordingly, if a Portfolio holds such securities, the Portfolio may be subject to a greater risk of losses in periods of rising interest rates.
Call Risk
Call risk refers to the possibility that an issuer may exercise its right to redeem a fixed income security earlier than expected (a call). Issuers may call outstanding securities prior to their maturity for a number of reasons (e.g., declining interest rates, changes in credit spreads and improvements in the issuer’s credit quality). If an issuer calls a security in which a Portfolio has invested, the Portfolio may not recoup the full amount of its initial investment and may be forced to reinvest in lower-yielding securities, securities with greater credit risks or securities with other, less favorable features.
Credit Risk
A Portfolio could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security (including a security purchased with securities lending collateral), or the counterparty to a derivatives contract, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. The downgrade of the credit of a security held by a Portfolio may decrease its value. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings. Measures such as average credit quality may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of a Portfolio. This is especially the case if a Portfolio consists of securities with widely varying credit ratings. Therefore, if a Portfolio has an average credit rating that suggests a certain credit quality, the Portfolio may in fact be subject to greater credit risk than the average would suggest. This risk is greater to the extent a Portfolio uses leverage or derivatives in connection with the management of the Portfolio. Municipal bonds are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions, or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and/or interest.
High Yield Risk
Portfolios that invest in high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as “high yield securities” or “junk bonds”) may be subject to greater levels of credit risk, call risk and liquidity risk than portfolios that do not invest in such securities. These securities are considered predominantly speculative with respect to an issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments, and may be more volatile than other types of securities. An economic downturn or individual corporate developments could adversely affect the market for these securities and reduce a Portfolio’s ability to sell these securities at an advantageous time or price. An economic downturn would generally lead to a higher non-payment rate and, a high yield security may lose significant market value before a default occurs. High yield securities structured as zero-coupon bonds or pay-in-kind securities tend to be especially volatile as they are particularly sensitive to downward pricing pressures from rising interest rates or widening spreads and may require a Portfolio to make taxable distributions of imputed income without receiving the actual cash currency. Issuers of high yield securities may have the right to “call” or redeem the issue prior to maturity, which may result in a Portfolio having to reinvest the proceeds in other high yield securities or similar instruments that may pay lower interest rates. A Portfolio may also be subject to greater levels of liquidity risk than portfolios that do not invest in high yield securities. In addition, the high yield securities in which a Portfolio invests may not be listed on any exchange and a secondary market for such securities may be comparatively illiquid relative to markets for other more liquid fixed income securities. Consequently, transactions in high yield securities may involve greater costs than transactions in more actively traded securities. A lack of publicly-available information, irregular trading activity and wide bid/ask spreads among other factors, may, in certain circumstances, make high yield debt more difficult to sell at an advantageous time or price than other types of securities or instruments. These factors may result in a Portfolio being unable to realize full value for these securities and/or may result in a Portfolio not receiving the proceeds from a sale of a high yield security for an extended period after such sale, each of which could result in losses to a Portfolio. Because of the risks involved in investing in high yield securities, an investment in a Portfolio that invests in such securities should be considered speculative.
Market Risk
The market price of securities owned by a Portfolio may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Securities may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries represented in the securities markets. The value of a security may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, adverse changes to credit markets or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of a security may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities. Credit ratings downgrades may also negatively affect securities held by a Portfolio. Even when markets perform well, there is no assurance that the investments held by a Portfolio will increase in value along with the broader market.

In addition, market risk includes the risk that geopolitical and other events will disrupt the economy on a national or global level. For instance, war, terrorism, market manipulation, government defaults, government shutdowns, political changes or diplomatic developments, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics) and natural/environmental disasters can all negatively impact the securities markets, which could cause the Portfolios to lose value. These events could reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closures, travel restrictions or quarantines, and significantly adversely impact the economy. The current contentious domestic political environment, as well as political and diplomatic events within the United States and abroad, such as presidential elections in the U.S. or abroad or the U.S. government’s inability at times to agree on a long-term budget and deficit reduction plan, has in the past resulted, and may in the future result, in a government shutdown or otherwise adversely affect the U.S. regulatory landscape, the general market environment and/or investor sentiment, which could have an adverse impact on a Portfolio’s investments and operations. Additional and/or prolonged U.S. federal government shutdowns may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. Governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have previously responded to serious economic disruptions with a variety of significant fiscal and monetary policy changes, including but not limited to, direct capital infusions into companies, new monetary programs and dramatically lower interest rates. An unexpected or sudden reversal of these policies, or the ineffectiveness of these policies, could increase volatility in securities markets, which could adversely affect a Portfolio’s investments. Any market disruptions could also prevent a Portfolio from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner. Portfolios that have focused their investments in a region enduring geopolitical market disruption will face higher risk of loss, although the increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets can lead to events or conditions in one country, region or financial market adversely impacting a different country, region or financial market. Thus, investors should closely monitor current market conditions to determine whether a Portfolio meets their individual financial needs and tolerance for risk.
Current market conditions may pose heightened risks with respect to Portfolios that invest in fixed income securities. As discussed more under “Interest Rate Risk,” interest rates in the U.S. are at or near historically low levels. Any interest rate increases in the future could cause the value of a Portfolio that invests in fixed income securities to decrease. As such, fixed income securities markets may experience heightened levels of interest rate, volatility and liquidity risk. If rising interest rates cause a Portfolio to lose enough value, the Portfolio could also face increased shareholder redemptions, which could force a Portfolio to liquidate investments at disadvantageous times or prices, therefore adversely affecting a Portfolio and its shareholders.
Exchanges and securities markets may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or generally, which may result in, among other things, a Portfolio being unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments at an advantageous time or accurately price its portfolio investments. In addition, a Portfolio may rely on various third-party sources to calculate its NAV. As a result, a Portfolio is subject to certain operational risks associated with reliance on service providers and service providers’ data sources. In particular, errors or systems failures and other technological issues may adversely impact a Portfolio’s calculation of its NAV, and such NAV calculation issues may result in inaccurately calculated NAV, delays in NAV calculation and/or the inability to calculate NAVs over extended periods. A Portfolio may be unable to recover any losses associated with such failures.
Issuer Risk
The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets. A change in the financial condition of a single issuer may affect securities markets as a whole.
Liquidity Risk
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines liquidity risk as the risk that a Portfolio could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by a Portfolio without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Portfolio. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase or sell. Illiquid investments are investments that a Portfolio reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. Illiquid investments may become harder to value, especially in changing markets. A Portfolio’s investments in illiquid investments may reduce the returns of a Portfolio because it may be unable to sell the illiquid investments at an advantageous time or price or possibly require a Portfolio to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations, which could prevent a Portfolio from taking advantage of other investment opportunities. Additionally, the market for certain investments may become illiquid under adverse market or economic conditions independent of any specific adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer. Bond markets have consistently grown over the past three decades while the capacity for traditional dealer counterparties to engage in fixed income trading has not kept pace and in some cases has decreased. As a result, dealer inventories of corporate bonds, which provide a core indication of the ability of financial intermediaries to “make

July 30, 2021 (as supplemented December 15, 2021) | Offering Memorandum  19

Private Account Portfolio Series

markets,” are at or near historic lows in relation to market size. Because market makers seek to provide stability to a market through their intermediary services, the significant reduction in dealer inventories could potentially lead to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed income markets. Such issues may be exacerbated during periods of economic uncertainty.
In such cases, a Portfolio, due to regulatory limitations on investments in illiquid investments and the difficulty in purchasing and selling such securities or instruments, may be unable to achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector. To the extent that a Portfolio’s principal investment strategies involve securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations, foreign (non-U.S.) securities, Rule 144A securities, illiquid sectors of fixed income securities, derivatives or securities with substantial market and/or credit risk, a Portfolio will tend to have the greatest exposure to liquidity risk. Further, fixed income securities with longer durations until maturity face heightened levels of liquidity risk as compared to fixed income securities with shorter durations until maturity. Finally, liquidity risk also refers to the risk of unusually high redemption requests, redemption requests by certain large shareholders such as institutional investors or asset allocators, or other unusual market conditions that may make it difficult for a Portfolio to sell investments within the allowable time period to meet redemptions. Meeting such redemption requests could require a Portfolio to sell securities at reduced prices or under unfavorable conditions, which would reduce the value of a Portfolio. It may also be the case that other market participants may be attempting to liquidate fixed income holdings at the same time as a Portfolio, causing increased supply in the market and contributing to liquidity risk and downward pricing pressure.
Certain accounts or PIMCO affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of a Portfolio’s shares. Redemptions by these shareholders of their holdings in a Portfolio may impact the Portfolio’s liquidity and NAV. These redemptions may also force a Portfolio to sell securities, which may negatively impact a Portfolio’s brokerage costs.
Derivatives Risk
Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. The various derivative instruments that the Portfolios may use are referenced under “Characteristics and Risks of Securities and Investment Techniques— Derivatives” in this Offering Memorandum and described in more detail under “Investment Objectives and Policies” in the Offering Memorandum Supplement. The Portfolios typically use derivatives as a substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset, as part of strategies designed to gain exposure to, for example, issuers, portions of the yield curve, indexes, sectors, currencies, and/or geographic regions, and/or to reduce exposure to other risks, such as interest rate, credit or currency risk. The Portfolios may also use derivatives for leverage, in which case their use would involve leveraging risk, and in some cases, may subject the Portfolios to the potential for unlimited loss. The use of derivatives may cause the Portfolios' investment returns to be impacted by the performance of securities the Portfolios do not own and result in the Portfolios' total investment exposure exceeding the value of its portfolio.
The Portfolios' use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of risks described elsewhere in this section, such as liquidity risk (which may be heightened for highly customized derivatives), interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk and management risk, as well as risks arising from changes in applicable requirements. They also involve the risk of improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of a derivative instrument may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. By investing in a derivative instrument, the Portfolios could lose more than the initial amount invested and derivatives may increase the volatility of the Portfolios, especially in unusual or extreme market conditions. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that the Portfolios will engage in these transactions to reduce exposure to other risks when that would be beneficial or that, if used, such strategies will be successful. In addition, the Portfolios' use of derivatives may increase or accelerate the amount of taxes payable by shareholders. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives are also subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations to the other party, as many of the protections afforded to centrally-cleared derivative transactions might not be available for OTC derivatives. The primary credit risk on derivatives that are exchange-traded or traded through a central clearing counterparty resides with the Portfolio’s clearing broker or the clearinghouse.
Participation in the markets for derivative instruments involves investment risks and transaction costs to which the Portfolios may not be subject absent the use of these strategies. The skills needed to successfully execute derivative strategies may be different from those needed for other types of transactions. If the Portfolios incorrectly forecast the value and/or creditworthiness of securities, currencies, interest rates, counterparties or other economic factors involved in a derivative transaction, the Portfolios might have been in a better position if the Portfolios had not entered into such derivative transaction. In evaluating the risks and contractual obligations associated with particular derivative instruments, it is important to consider that certain derivative transactions may be modified or terminated only by mutual consent of a Portfolio and its counterparty. Therefore, it may not be possible for the Portfolios to modify, terminate, or offset the Portfolios' obligations or the Portfolios' exposure to the risks associated with a derivative transaction prior to its scheduled termination or maturity date, which may create a possibility of increased volatility and/or decreased liquidity to the Portfolios. In such case, the Portfolios may lose money.

20  Offering Memorandum | Private Account Portfolio Series

Because the markets for certain derivative instruments (including markets located in foreign countries) are relatively new and still developing, appropriate derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Upon the expiration of a particular contract, the Portfolios may wish to retain the Portfolios' position in the derivative instrument by entering into a similar contract, but may be unable to do so if the counterparty to the original contract is unwilling to enter into the new contract and no other appropriate counterparty can be found. When such markets are unavailable, the Portfolios  will be subject to increased liquidity and investment risk.
When a derivative is used as a hedge against a position that a Portfolio holds, any loss generated by the derivative generally should be substantially offset by gains on the hedged investment, and vice versa. Although hedging can reduce or eliminate losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains. Hedges are sometimes subject to imperfect matching between the derivative and the underlying instrument, and there can be no assurance that the Portfolios' hedging transactions will be effective.
The regulation of the derivatives markets has increased over the past several years, and additional future regulation of the derivatives markets may make derivatives more costly, may limit the availability or reduce the liquidity of derivatives, or may otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of derivatives. Any such adverse future developments could impair the effectiveness or raise the costs of the Portfolios' derivative transactions, impede the employment of the Portfolios' derivatives strategies, or adversely affect the Portfolios' performance. For instance, in October 2020, the SEC adopted a final rule related to the use of derivatives, short sales, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions by registered investment companies. In connection with the final rule, the SEC and its staff will rescind and withdraw applicable guidance and relief regarding asset segregation and coverage transactions reflected in a Portfolio's asset segregation and cover practices discussed herein. Subject to certain exceptions, and after an eighteen-month transition period, the final rule requires a Portfolio to trade derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations (except reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions) subject to value-at-risk leverage limits and certain derivatives risk management program and reporting requirements. These requirements may limit the ability of a Portfolio to invest in derivatives, short sales, reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions, limit a Portfolio’s ability to employ certain strategies that use these instruments and/or adversely affect a Portfolio’s performance, efficiency in implementing its strategy, liquidity and/or ability to pursue its investment objectives and may increase the cost of a Portfolio’s investments and cost of doing business, which could adversely affect investors.
Equity Risk
Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Equity securities also include, among other things, preferred securities, convertible stocks and warrants. The values of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred securities, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. They may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities. These risks are generally magnified in the case of equity investments in distressed companies.
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk
Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities represent interests in “pools” of mortgages or other assets such as consumer loans or receivables held in trust and often involve risks that are different from or possibly more acute than risks associated with other types of debt instruments. Generally, rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of fixed rate mortgage-related securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a result, in a period of rising interest rates, if a Portfolio holds mortgage-related securities, it may exhibit additional volatility since individual mortgage holders are less likely to exercise prepayment options, thereby putting additional downward pressure on the value of these securities and potentially causing the Portfolios to lose money. This is known as extension risk. Mortgage-backed securities can be highly sensitive to rising interest rates, such that even small movements can cause an investing Portfolio to lose value. Mortgage-backed securities, and in particular those not backed by a government guarantee, are subject to credit risk. In addition, adjustable and fixed rate mortgage-related securities are subject to prepayment risk. When interest rates decline, borrowers may pay off their mortgages sooner than expected. This can reduce the returns of a Portfolio because the Portfolio may have to reinvest that money at the lower prevailing interest rates. A Portfolio’s investments in other asset-backed securities are subject to risks similar to those associated with mortgage-related securities, as well as additional risks associated with the nature of the assets and the servicing of those assets. Payment of principal and interest on asset-backed securities may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities, and asset-backed securities may not have the benefit of any security interest in the related assets.

Private Account Portfolio Series

Extension Risk
The issuer of a security held by a Portfolio (such as a mortgage-related or other asset-backed security) may under certain circumstances make principal payments on such security later than expected. This may occur, for example, when interest rates rise. Such later-than-expected principal payments decrease the value of the security held by a Portfolio. In addition, as payments are received later than expected, a Portfolio may miss the opportunity to reinvest in higher yielding securities.
Prepayment Risk
The issuer of a security held by a Portfolio (such as a mortgage-related or other asset-backed security) may under certain circumstances make principal payments on such security sooner than expected. This may occur, for example, when interest rates decline. Such sooner-than-expected principal payments may reduce the returns of a Portfolio because a Portfolio is forced to forego expected future interest payments on the principal amount paid back early and a Portfolio may be forced to reinvest the money it receives from such early payments at the lower prevailing interest rates. Additionally, the yield to maturity on an IO class of a stripped MBS (“SMBS”) is extremely sensitive to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgage assets, and a rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on a Portfolio’s yield to maturity from these securities.
Privately Issued Mortgage-Related Securities Risk
There are no direct or indirect government or agency guarantees of payments in pools created by non-governmental issuers. Privately-issued mortgage-related securities are also not subject to the same underwriting requirements for the underlying mortgages that are applicable to those mortgage-related securities that have a government or government-sponsored entity guarantee.
Privately-issued mortgage-related securities are not traded on an exchange and there may be a limited market for the securities, especially when there is a perceived weakness in the mortgage and real estate market sectors. Without an active trading market, mortgage-related securities held in a Portfolio’s portfolio may be particularly difficult to value because of the complexities involved in assessing the value of the underlying mortgage loans.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investment Risk
A Portfolio that invests in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than a portfolio that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. issuers or securities that trade exclusively in U.S. markets. The securities markets of many foreign (non-U.S.) countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. Additionally, issuers of foreign (non-U.S.) securities are usually not subject to the same degree of regulation as U.S. issuers. Reporting, accounting and auditing standards of foreign countries differ, in some cases significantly, from U.S. standards. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Also, nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, market disruptions, political changes, security suspensions or diplomatic developments could adversely affect a Portfolio’s investments in a foreign country. In the event of nationalization, expropriation or other confiscation, a Portfolio could lose its entire investment in foreign (non-U.S.) securities. Adverse conditions in a certain region can adversely affect securities of other countries whose economies appear to be unrelated. To the extent that a Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in a specific geographic region, or in securities denominated in a particular foreign (non-U.S.) currency, the Portfolio will generally have more exposure to regional economic risks including weather emergencies and natural disasters, associated with foreign (non-U.S.) investments. Foreign (non-U.S.) securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers.
Emerging Markets Risk
Foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk may be particularly high to the extent a Portfolio, particularly the PIMCO EM Bond and Short-Term Investments Portfolio invests in emerging market securities. Emerging market securities may present market, credit, currency, liquidity, legal, political, technical and other risks different from, and potentially greater than, the risks of investing in securities and instruments economically tied to developed foreign countries. To the extent a Portfolio invests in emerging market securities that are economically tied to a particular region, country or group of countries, the Portfolio may be more sensitive to adverse political or social events affecting that region, country or group of countries. Economic, business, political, or social instability may affect emerging market securities differently, and often more severely, than developed market securities. A Portfolio that focuses its investments in multiple asset classes of emerging market securities may have a limited ability to mitigate losses in an environment that is adverse to emerging market securities in general. Emerging market securities may also be more volatile, less liquid and more difficult to value than securities economically tied to developed foreign countries. The systems and procedures for trading and settlement of securities in emerging markets are less developed and less transparent and transactions may take longer to settle. Emerging market countries typically have less established legal, accounting and financial reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the scope or quality of financial information available to investors. Governments in emerging market countries are often less stable and more likely to take extra-legal action with respect to companies, industries, assets, or foreign ownership than those in more developed markets. Moreover, it

22  Offering Memorandum | Private Account Portfolio Series

Offering Memorandum

can be more difficult for investors to bring litigation or enforce judgments against issuers in emerging markets or for U.S. regulators to bring enforcement actions against such issuers. A Portfolio may also be subject to Emerging Markets Risk if they invest in derivatives or other securities or instruments whose value or return are related to the value or returns of emerging markets securities. Rising interest rates, combined with widening credit spreads, could negatively impact the value of emerging market debt and increase funding costs for foreign issuers. In such a scenario, foreign issuers might not be able to service their debt obligations, the market for emerging market debt could suffer from reduced liquidity, and any investing Portfolios  could lose money. The economy of some emerging markets may be particularly exposed to or affected by a certain industry or sector, and therefore issuers and/or securities of such emerging markets may be more affected by the performance of such industries or sectors.
Sovereign Debt Risk
Sovereign debt risk is the risk that fixed income instruments issued by sovereign entities may decline in value as a result of default or other adverse credit event resulting from an issuer’s inability or unwillingness to make principal or interest payments in a timely fashion. A sovereign entity’s failure to make timely payments on its debt can result from many factors, including, without limitation, insufficient foreign (non-U.S.) currency reserves or an inability to sufficiently manage fluctuations in relative currency valuations, an inability or unwillingness to satisfy the demands of creditors and/or relevant supranational entities regarding debt service or economic reforms, the size of the debt burden relative to economic output and tax revenues, cash flow difficulties, and other political and social considerations. The risk of loss to a Portfolio in the event of a sovereign debt default or other adverse credit event is heightened by the unlikelihood of any formal recourse or means to enforce its rights as a holder of the sovereign debt. In addition, sovereign debt restructurings, which may be shaped by entities and factors beyond a Portfolio’s control, may result in a loss in value of the Portfolio’s sovereign debt holdings.
Currency Risk
If a Portfolio invests directly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, or in derivatives or other instruments that provide exposure to foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged.
Currency rates in foreign (non-U.S.) countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, rates of inflation, balance or payments and governmental surpluses or deficits, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, a Portfolio’s investments in foreign currency-denominated securities may reduce the returns of the Portfolio.
Currency risk may be particularly high to the extent that a Portfolio invests in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or engages in foreign currency transactions that are economically tied to emerging market countries. These currency transactions may present market, credit, currency, liquidity, legal, political and other risks different from, or greater than, the risks of investing in developed foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or engaging in foreign currency transactions that are economically tied to developed foreign countries.
Issuer Non-Diversification Risk
Focusing investments in a small number of issuers increases risk. Each Portfolio except for the PIMCO ABS and Short-Term Investments, PIMCO High Yield and Short-Term Investments, PIMCO Investment Grade Credit Bond Portfolio, PIMCO Long Duration Credit Bond, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Moderate Duration, PIMCO Mortgage and Short-Term Investments, PIMCO Municipal, PIMCO Real Return, PIMCO Short-Term, PIMCO Short Term Floating NAV II and PIMCO U.S. Government and Short-Term Investments Portfolios, is “non-diversified.” Portfolios that are “non-diversified” may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than Portfolios that are “diversified.” Portfolios that invest in a relatively small number of issuers are more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Some of those issuers also may present substantial credit or other risks.
Leveraging Risk
Certain transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Such transactions may include, among others, reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. The use of derivatives may also create leveraging risk. In accordance with current federal securities laws, rules, and staff positions, PIMCO will attempt to mitigate a Portfolio’s leveraging risk by segregating or “earmarking” liquid assets or otherwise covering transactions that may give rise to such risk. A Portfolio also may be exposed to leveraging risk by borrowing money for investment purposes. Leverage may cause a Portfolio to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy the Portfolio’s obligations or to meet segregation requirements when it may not be advantageous to do so. Leverage, including borrowing, may cause a Portfolio to be more volatile than if a Portfolio had not been leveraged. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of a Portfolio’s portfolio securities . Certain types of leveraging transactions, such as short sales that are not “against the

Private Account Portfolio Series

box,” (i.e., short sales where a Portfolio does not hold the security or have the right to acquire it without payment of further consideration) could theoretically be subject to unlimited losses in cases where a Portfolio, for any reason, is unable to close out the transaction. In addition, to the extent a Portfolio borrows money, interest costs on such borrowings may not be recovered by any appreciation of the securities purchased with the borrowed amounts and could exceed a Portfolio’s investment returns, resulting in greater losses. Moreover, to make payments of interest and other loan costs, a Portfolio may be forced to sell portfolio securities when it is not otherwise advantageous to do so.
Management Risk
Each Portfolio and the Subsidiary are subject to management risk because they are actively managed investment portfolios. PIMCO and each portfolio managers will apply investment techniques and risk analysis in making investment decisions for the Portfolios and the Subsidiary, as applicable, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. Certain securities or other instruments in which a Portfolio or Subsidiary seeks to invest may not be available in the quantities desired. In addition, regulatory restrictions, actual or potential conflicts of interest or other considerations may cause PIMCO to restrict or prohibit participation in certain investments. In such circumstances, PIMCO or the portfolio managers may determine to purchase other securities or instruments as substitutes. Such substitute securities or instruments may not perform as intended, which could result in losses to a Portfolio.
To the extent a Portfolio employs strategies targeting perceived pricing inefficiencies, arbitrage strategies or similar strategies, it is subject to the risk that the pricing or valuation of the securities and instruments involved in such strategies may change unexpectedly, which may result in reduced returns or losses to a Portfolio. A Portfolio is also subject to the risk that deficiencies in the internal systems or controls of PIMCO or another service provider will cause losses for a Portfolio or hinder Portfolio operations. For example, trading delays or errors (both human and systemic) could prevent a Portfolio from purchasing a security expected to appreciate in value. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax restrictions, policies or developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the portfolio managers in connection with managing the Portfolios and the Subsidiary, as applicable, and may also adversely affect the ability of the Portfolios and the Subsidiary, as applicable, to achieve their investment objectives. There also can be no assurance that all of the personnel of PIMCO will continue to be associated with PIMCO for any length of time. The loss of services of one or more key employees of PIMCO could have an adverse impact on the Portfolios' and the Subsidiary’s, as applicable, ability to realize their investment objectives.
California State-Specific Risk
Because the PIMCO Municipal Portfolio may concentrate its investments in California Municipal Securities, the Portfolio may be affected significantly by economic, regulatory or political developments affecting the ability of California issuers to pay interest or repay principal. Certain issuers of California Municipal Bonds have experienced serious financial difficulties in the past and reoccurrence of these difficulties may impair the ability of certain California issuers to pay principal or interest on their obligations. Provisions of the California Constitution and state statutes that limit the taxing and spending authority of California governmental entities may impair the ability of California issuers to pay principal and/or interest on their obligations. While California’s economy is broad, it does have major concentrations in high technology, aerospace and defense-related manufacturing, trade, entertainment, real estate and financial services, and may be sensitive to economic problems affecting those industries. Future California political and economic developments, constitutional amendments, legislative measures, executive orders, administrative regulations, litigation and voter initiatives could have an adverse effect on the debt obligations of California issuers.
New York State-Specific Risk
Because the PIMCO Municipal Portfolio may concentrate its investments in New York Municipal Securities , the Portfolio may be affected significantly by economic, regulatory or political developments affecting the ability of New York issuers to pay interest or repay principal. While New York’s economy is broad, it does have concentrations in the financial services industry, and may be sensitive to economic problems affecting that industry. Certain issuers of New York Municipal Bonds have experienced serious financial difficulties in the past and reoccurrence of these difficulties may impair the ability of certain New York issuers to pay principal or interest on their obligations. The financial health of New York City affects that of the State, and when New York City experiences financial difficulty it may have an adverse effect on New York Municipal Bonds held by the Portfolio. The growth rate of New York has at times been somewhat slower than the nation overall. The economic and financial condition of New York also may be affected by various financial, social, economic and political factors.
Municipal Project-Specific Risk
The PIMCO Municipal Portfolio may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments if it invests a substantial portion of its assets in the bonds of specific projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities), industrial development bonds, or in general obligation bonds, particularly if there is a large concentration from issuers in a single state. This is because the value of municipal securities can be significantly affected by the political, economic, legal, and legislative realities of the particular issuer’s locality or municipal sector events. In addition, a significant restructuring of federal income tax rates or even serious discussion on the topic in Congress could cause municipal

bond prices to fall. The demand for municipal securities is strongly influenced by the value of tax-exempt income to investors. Lower income tax rates could reduce the advantage of owning municipal securities. Similarly, changes to state or federal regulation tied to a specific sector, such as the hospital sector, could have an impact on the revenue stream for a given subset of the market.
Municipal securities are also subject to interest rate, credit, and liquidity risk.
Interest Rate Risk. The value of municipal securities, similar to other fixed income securities, will likely drop as interest rates rise in the general market. Conversely, when rates decline, bond prices generally rise.
Credit Risk. The risk that a borrower may be unable to make interest or principal payments when they are due. Portfolios that invest in municipal securities rely on the ability of the issuer to service its debt. This subjects a Portfolio to credit risk in that the municipal issuer may be fiscally unstable or exposed to large liabilities that could impair its ability to honor its obligations. Municipal issuers with significant debt service requirements, in the near-to mid-term; unrated issuers and those with less capital and liquidity to absorb additional expenses may be most at risk. A Portfolio that invests in lower quality or high yield municipal securities may be more sensitive to the adverse credit events in the municipal market. The treatment of municipalities in bankruptcy is more uncertain, and potentially more adverse to debt holders, than for corporate issues.
Liquidity Risk. The risk that investors may have difficulty finding a buyer when they seek to sell, and therefore, may be forced to sell at a discount to the market value. Liquidity may sometimes be impaired in the municipal market and Portfolios that primarily invest in municipal securities may find it difficult to purchase or sell such securities at opportune times. Liquidity can be impaired due to interest rate concerns, credit events, or general supply and demand imbalances. These adverse developments sometimes cause a Portfolio to endure higher redemption rates. Depending on the particular issuer and current economic conditions, municipal securities could be deemed more volatile investments.
In addition to general municipal market risks, different municipal sectors may face different risks. For instance, general obligation bonds are secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the municipality issuing the obligation. As such, timely payment depends on the municipality’s ability to raise tax revenue and maintain a fiscally sound budget. The timely payments may also be influenced by any unfunded pension liabilities or other post-employee benefit plan (OPEB) liabilities.
Revenue bonds are secured by special tax revenues or other revenue sources. If the specified revenues do not materialize, then the bonds may not be repaid.
Private activity bonds are yet another type of municipal security. Municipalities use private activity bonds to finance the development of industrial facilities for use by private enterprise. Principal and interest payments are to be made by the private enterprise benefitting from the development, which means that the holder of the bond is exposed to the risk that the private issuer may default on the bond.
Moral obligation bonds are usually issued by special purpose public entities. If the public entity defaults, repayment becomes a “moral obligation” instead of a legal one. The lack of a legally enforceable right to payment in the event of default poses a special risk for a holder of the bond because it has little or no ability to seek recourse in the event of default.
Municipal notes are similar to general municipal debt obligations, but they generally possess shorter terms. Municipal notes can be used to provide interim financing and may not be repaid if anticipated revenues are not realized.
While the PIMCO Municipal Portfolio intends to acquire debt securities whose interest is exempt from regular federal income tax, there are risks that a security issued as tax-exempt may, as a result of a determination made by either the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or a state tax authority, be taxable. Additionally, future legislation, administrative, or common law actions could adversely impact the characterization of income derived from a tax-exempt debt security as free from federal income tax. Such a determination or action could cause interest derived from an affected debt security to become taxable, possibly retroactively, subjecting you to an increased tax liability.
Subsidiary Risk
By investing in the Subsidiary, the PIMCO International Portfolio is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The securities and other investments held by the Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by a Portfolio, and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Portfolio. These risks are described elsewhere in this Offering Memorandum. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of a Portfolio or the Subsidiary will be achieved.
The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act, and, unless otherwise noted in this Offering Memorandum, is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. In addition, changes in the laws of the United States and/or Japan could result in the inability of the Portfolio and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum Supplement and could adversely affect the Portfolio. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or Japan could adversely affect the performance of the Portfolio and/or the Subsidiary and result in the Portfolio underperforming its benchmark index(es).

Private Account Portfolio Series

Short Exposure Risk
A Portfolio’s short sales, if any, are subject to special risks. A short sale involves the sale by a Portfolio of a security that it does not own with the hope of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price. A Portfolio may also enter into a short position through a forward commitment or a short derivative position through a futures contract or swap agreement. If the price of the security or derivative has increased during this time, then a Portfolio will incur a loss equal to the increase in price from the time that the short sale was entered into plus any transaction costs (i.e., premiums and interest) paid to the broker-dealer to borrow securities. Therefore, short sales involve the risk that losses may be exaggerated, potentially losing more money than the actual cost of the investment. By contrast, a loss on a long position arises from decreases in the value of the security and is limited by the fact that a security’s value cannot decrease below zero.
By investing the proceeds received from selling securities short, a Portfolio could be deemed to be employing a form of leverage, which creates special risks. The use of leverage may increase a Portfolio’s exposure to long security positions and make any change in the Portfolio’s NAV greater than it would be without the use of leverage. This could result in increased volatility of returns. There is no guarantee that any leveraging strategy a Portfolio employs will be successful during any period in which it is employed.
In times of unusual or adverse market, economic, regulatory or political conditions, a Portfolio may not be able, fully or partially, to implement its short selling strategy. Periods of unusual or adverse market, economic, regulatory or political conditions generally may exist for as long as six months and, in some cases, much longer. Also, there is the risk that the third party to the short sale will not fulfill its contractual obligations, causing a loss to a Portfolio.
LIBOR Transition Risk
Certain instruments in which a Portfolio may invest rely in some fashion upon the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is an average interest rate, determined by the ICE Benchmark Administration, that banks charge one another for the use of short-term money. On July 27, 2017, the Chief Executive of the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the United Kingdom’s financial regulatory body and regulator of LIBOR, announced that after 2021 it will cease its active encouragement of banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR due to the absence of an active market for interbank unsecured lending and other reasons. On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration ( “IBA”), the administrator of LIBOR, announced that it will cease publication of many of its LIBOR settings after December 31, 2021, and that it will cease publication of certain commonly-used tenors of U.S. dollar LIBOR after June 30, 2023. While the FCA may consult on the issue of requiring the IBA to produce certain LIBOR tenors on a synthetic basis, it has announced that all 35 LIBOR settings will either cease to be provided by any administrator or will no longer be representative as of the dates published by the IBA. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have issued guidance encouraging market participants to adopt alternatives to LIBOR in new contracts as soon as practicable and no later than December 31, 2021. Although the transition process away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined in advance of the anticipated discontinuation date, there remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. Any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on a Portfolio or on certain instruments in which a Portfolio invests can be difficult to ascertain, and they may vary depending on factors that include, but are not limited to: (i) existing fallback or termination provisions in individual contracts and (ii) whether, how, and when industry participants develop and adopt new reference rates and fallbacks for both legacy and new products and instruments. For example, certain of a Portfolio’s investments may involve individual contracts that have (i) no existing fallback provision or language that contemplates the discontinuation of LIBOR or (ii) inadequate fallback provisions or language that does not contemplate a permanent discontinuation of LIBOR, and those investments could experience increased volatility or reduced liquidity as a result of the transition process. In addition, interest rate provisions included in such contracts may need to be renegotiated in contemplation of the transition away from LIBOR. The transition may also result in a reduction in the value of certain instruments held by a Portfolio or a reduction in the effectiveness of related Portfolio transactions such as hedges. In addition, an instrument’s transition to a replacement rate could result in variations in the reported yields of a Portfolio that holds such instrument. Any such effects of the transition away from LIBOR, as well as other unforeseen effects, could result in losses to a Portfolio.

Management of the Portfolios 
The business affairs of the Portfolios are managed under the direction of the Board of Trustees of PIMCO Funds (the “Trust”). Information about the Trustees and the Trust’s executive officers is included in the Offering Memorandum Supplement under the heading “Management of the Trust.”
Investment Adviser and Administrator
PIMCO serves as the investment adviser and the administrator (serving in its capacity as investment adviser, the “Investment Adviser,” and serving in its capacity as administrator, the “Administrator”) for the Portfolios. Subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, PIMCO is responsible for managing the investment activities of the Portfolios and the Portfolios' business affairs and other administrative matters. PIMCO also serves as the investment adviser for the Subsidiary.
PIMCO is located at 650 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660. Organized in 1971, PIMCO provides investment management and advisory services to private accounts of institutional and individual clients and to mutual funds. As of June 30, 2021, PIMCO had approximately $2.20 trillion in assets under management.
From time to time, PIMCO or its affiliates may pay investment consultants or their parent or affiliated companies for certain services including technology, operations, tax, or audit consulting services, and may pay such firms for PIMCO’s attendance at investment forums sponsored by such firms or for various studies, surveys, or access to databases. Subject to applicable law, PIMCO and its affiliates may also provide investment advisory services to investment consultants and their affiliates and may execute brokerage transactions on behalf of the Portfolios with such investment consultants or their affiliates. These consultants or their affiliates may, in the ordinary course of their investment consultant business, recommend that their clients utilize PIMCO’s investment advisory services or invest in the Portfolios or in other products sponsored by PIMCO and its affiliates.
Advisory Fees and Supervisory and Administrative Fees
Each Portfolio pays PIMCO an advisory fee in return for providing investment advisory services. Each Portfolio also pays PIMCO a supervisory and administrative fee for the supervisory and administrative services it requires under what is essentially an all-in fee structure. PIMCO, in turn, provides supervisory and administrative services for each Portfolio’s shareholders and also bears the costs of various third-party services required by the Portfolios, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. Each Portfolio bears other expenses that are not covered under the supervisory and administrative fee which may vary and affect the total level of expenses paid by a Portfolio, such as taxes and governmental fees, brokerage fees, commissions and other transaction expenses, costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses, extraordinary expenses (such as litigation and indemnification expenses) and fees and expenses of the Trust’s Independent Trustees and their counsel. PIMCO generally earns a profit on the supervisory and administrative fee. Also, under the terms of the supervision and administration agreement, PIMCO, and not Portfolio shareholders, would benefit from any price decreases in third-party services, including decreases resulting from an increase in net assets.
As discussed in the “Portfolio Summary-Principal Investment Strategies” section, the PIMCO International Portfolio may pursue its investment objective by investing in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with PIMCO whereby PIMCO provides investment advisory and administrative services to the Subsidiary. The PIMCO International Portfolio Subsidiary LLC will not pay PIMCO a fee for advisory or administrative services.
The tables below show the advisory and supervisory and administrative fees for each Portfolio at an annual rate based upon the average daily net assets of a Portfolio. The Portfolios may incur additional fees and expenses that are not shown in the table, which include, but are not limited to, interest expense incurred as a result of investment management activities. These additional fees and expenses may be significant and you should refer to the Portfolios’ annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders for information regarding the total ratio of expenses to average net assets.

Expense Limitation Agreement
PIMCO has contractually agreed through July 31, 2022 to waive a portion of each Portfolio’s supervisory and administrative fees, or reimburse the Portfolios , to the extent that the Portfolios’s organizational expenses, pro rata share of expenses related to obtaining or maintaining a Legal Entity Identifier and pro rata share of Trustee fees exceed 0.00049% (the “Expense Limit”). The Expense Limitation Agreement will automatically renew for one-year terms unless PIMCO provides written notice to the Trust at least 30 days prior to the end of the then current term. In any month in which the supervision and administration agreement is in effect, PIMCO is entitled to reimbursement by each Portfolio of any portion of the supervisory and administrative fee waived or reimbursed as set forth above (the “Reimbursement Amount”) during the previous thirty-six months from the time of waiver, provided that such amount paid to PIMCO will not: 1) together with any organizational expenses, pro rata share of expenses related to obtaining or maintaining a Legal Entity Identifier and pro rata Trustee fees, exceed, for such month, the Expense Limit (or the amount of the expense limit in place at the time the amount being recouped was originally waived if lower than the Expense Limit) 2) exceed the total Reimbursement Amount; or 3) include any amounts previously reimbursed to PIMCO.

Inception of the Portfolio.
Please see the Offering Memorandum Supplement for additional information about other accounts managed by the portfolio managers, the portfolio managers' compensation and the portfolio managers' ownership of shares of a Portfolio.
A discussion of the basis for the Board of Trustees’ approval of the investment advisory contract for a Portfolio is available in a Portfolio’s Semi-Annual Report to shareholders for the fiscal half-year ended September 30, 2020.
The Trustees are responsible generally for overseeing the management of the Trust. The Trustees authorize the Trust to enter into service agreements with the Investment Adviser, the Distributor (as defined below), the Administrator and other service providers in order to provide, and in some cases authorize service providers to procure through other parties, necessary or desirable services on behalf of the Trust and the Portfolios. Shareholders are not parties to or third-party beneficiaries of such service agreements. Neither this Offering Memorandum, the Trust’s Offering Memorandum Supplement, any contracts filed as exhibits to the Trust’s registration statement, nor any other communications, disclosure documents or regulatory filings from or on behalf of the Trust or the Portfolios create a contract between or among any shareholder of the Portfolios, on the one hand, and the Trust, the Portfolios, a service provider to the Trust or the Portfolios, and/or the Trustees or officers of the Trust, on the other hand. The Trustees (or the Trust and its officers, service providers or other delegates acting under authority of the Trustees) may amend this, or use a new offering memorandum, or Offering Memorandum Supplement with respect to the Portfolios or the Trust, and/or amend, file and/or issue any other communications, disclosure documents or regulatory filings, and may amend or enter into any contracts to which the Trust or the Portfolios are a party, and interpret

the investment objective(s), policies, restrictions and contractual provisions applicable to the Portfolio, without shareholder input or approval, except in circumstances in which shareholder approval is specifically required by law (such as changes to fundamental investment policies) or where a shareholder approval requirement is specifically disclosed in the Trust’s then-current Offering Memorandum or Offering Memorandum Supplement.
Distributor
The Trust’s Distributor is PIMCO Investments LLC (the “Distributor”). The Distributor, located at 1633 Broadway, New York, NY 10019, is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC.
Purchases, Redemptions and Exchanges
Purchasing Shares
Shares of the Portfolios are restricted securities and are issued only in private placement transactions in accordance with Regulation D, or other applicable exemptions under the Securities Act. This Offering Memorandum does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of any offer to buy, any “security” to the public within the meaning of the Securities Act. Shares of the Portfolios are offered only to the clients of PIMCO, including separately managed private accounts and investment companies registered under the 1940 Act and other funds, who are “accredited investors,” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, and either (i) “qualified purchasers,” as defined for purposes of Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act, or (ii) “qualified institutional buyers,” as defined in Rule 144A(a)(1) of the Securities Act. Shares may be offered to PIMCO and its affiliates, and to the benefit plans of PIMCO and its affiliates. Shares of the Portfolios may be purchased at the relevant NAV without a sales charge or other fee. Shares of the Private Account Portfolio Series may also be purchased by certain investors outside of the United States consistent with applicable regulatory requirements.
PIMCO, acting as agent for its clients, will effect all purchases of shares of the Portfolios for those clients
Timing of Purchase Orders and Share Price Calculations. With respect to each Portfolio other than the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, under normal circumstances, a purchase order received by the Trust or its designee prior to the scheduled close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (the “NYSE Close”), on a day the Trust is open for business, will be effected at that day’s NAV. An order received after the NYSE Close will be effected at the NAV determined on the next business day. With respect to the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, under normal circumstances, a purchase order received by the Trust or its designee prior to 3:00 p.m., Eastern time (or the NYSE Close, if earlier than 3:00 p.m., Eastern time), on a day the Trust is open for business, will be effected at that day’s NAV. With respect to the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, an order received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern time (or the NYSE Close, if earlier than 3:00 p.m., Eastern time) will be effected at the NAV determined on the next business day. The Trust is “open for business” on each day the NYSE is open for trading, which excludes the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. If the NYSE is closed due to weather or other extenuating circumstances on a day it would typically be open for business, the Trust reserves the right to treat such day as a Business Day and accept purchase and redemption orders and calculate a Portfolio’s NAV, as of the normally scheduled close of regular trading on the NYSE or such other time that a Portfolio may determine in accordance with applicable law. Purchase orders will be accepted only on days on which the Trust is open for business.
Verification of Identity. To help the federal government combat the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person, or the control person(s) and/or beneficial owners of legal entity customers, that opens a new account, and to determine whether such person’s name appears on government lists of known or suspected terrorists and terrorist organizations. As a result, a Portfolio must obtain the following information for each person, or the control person(s) and/or beneficial owners of legal entity customers, that opens a new account.
1. Name;
2. Date of birth (for individuals);
3. Residential or business street address; and
4. Social security number, taxpayer identification number, or other identifying number.
Federal law prohibits the Portfolios and other financial institutions from opening a new account unless they receive the minimum identifying information listed above.
Individuals may also be asked for a copy of their driver’s license, passport or other identifying document in order to verify their identity. In addition, it may be necessary to verify an individual’s identity by cross referencing the identification information with a consumer report or other electronic database. Additional information may be required to open accounts for corporations and other entities.
After an account is opened, a Portfolio may restrict your ability to purchase additional shares until your identity is verified. A Portfolio also may close your account and redeem your shares or take other appropriate action if it is unable to verify your identity within a reasonable time.

Other Purchase Information. Purchases of a Portfolio’s shares will be made in full and fractional shares. In the interest of economy and convenience, certificates for shares will not be issued.
The Trust and the Distributor each reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend the offering of shares of the Portfolios or to reject any purchase order, in whole or in part, when, in the judgment of management, such suspension or rejection is in the best interests of the Trust.
Shares of the Portfolios are not registered or qualified for sale in the states. Shares of the Portfolios may not be offered or sold in any state unless an exemption from registration or qualification is available. Investors should inquire as to whether shares of a particular Portfolio are available for offer and sale in the investor’s state of residence.
Subject to the approval of the Trust, shares of a Portfolio may be purchased with liquid securities that are eligible for purchase by a Portfolio (consistent with a Portfolio’s investment policies and restrictions) and that have a value that is readily ascertainable in accordance with the Trust’s valuation policies. These transactions will be effected only if PIMCO intends to retain the security in a Portfolio as an investment. Assets purchased by a Portfolio in such a transaction will be valued in generally the same manner as they would be valued for purposes of pricing a Portfolio’s shares, if such assets were included in a Portfolio’s assets at the time of purchase. The Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate this practice at any time.
In the interest of economy and convenience, certificates for shares will not be issued.
Redeeming Shares
As stated above, the Portfolios’ shares are restricted securities that may not be sold to investors other than “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act, unless sold pursuant to another available exemption from the Securities Act. Shares of the Portfolios may not be assigned, resold or otherwise transferred without the written consent of the Trust and, if requested, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Trust that an exemption from registration is available. Any attempt at a transfer to a third party in violation of this provision shall be void. The Trust may enforce the provisions of this paragraph, either directly or through its agents, by entering an appropriate stop-transfer order on its books or otherwise refusing to register or transfer or permit the registration or transfer on its books of any purported transfer not in accordance with these restrictions.
PIMCO, acting as agent for its private account clients, will effect all redemptions of shares of the Portfolios.
Timing of Redemption Requests and Share Price Calculations. With respect to each Portfolio other than the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, under normal circumstances, a redemption request received by the Trust or its designee prior to the NYSE Close, on a day the Trust is open for business, is effective on that day (unless a specific subsequent trade date is provided). A redemption request received after that time becomes effective on the next business day. With respect to the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, under normal circumstances, a redemption request received by the Trust or its designee prior to 3:00 p.m., Eastern time (or the NYSE Close, if earlier than 3:00 p.m., Eastern time), on a day the Trust is open for business, is effective on that day (unless a specific subsequent trade date is provided). A redemption request received after that time becomes effective on the next business day. Redemption requests for Portfolio shares are effected at the NAV per share next determined after receipt of a redemption request by the Trust or its designee. The request must properly identify all relevant information such as trade date, account number, redemption amount (in dollars or shares), and the Portfolio name.
Redeeming Shares - Additional Information Redemption proceeds will ordinarily be wired within three business days after receipt of the redemption request, but may take up to seven days. Redemptions of Portfolio shares may be suspended when trading on the NYSE is restricted or during an emergency which makes it impracticable for the Portfolios to dispose of their securities or to determine fairly the value of their net assets, or during any other period as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the protection of investors. Under these and other unusual circumstances, the Trust may suspend redemptions or postpone payment for more than seven days, as permitted by law.The Trust agrees to redeem shares of each Portfolio solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of a Portfolio’s net assets during any 90-day period for any one shareholder. In consideration of the best interests of the remaining shareholders, the Trust reserves the right to pay any redemption proceeds exceeding this amount in whole or in part by a distribution in kind of securities held by a Portfolio in lieu of cash, which may be in the form of a pro-rata slice of a Portfolio’s portfolio (potentially with certain exclusions and modifications), individual securities or a representative basket of securities, in each case, subject to the Trust’s in-kind redemption procedures and related regulatory guidance. It is highly unlikely that shares would ever be redeemed in kind. When shares are redeemed in kind, the redeeming shareholder should expect to incur transaction costs upon the disposition of the securities received in the distribution.
Exchange Privilege
Exchanges of shares of a Portfolio for shares of any other Portfolio will be based on the respective NAVs of the shares involved. Subject to compliance with applicable private placement restrictions and the investment restrictions of the Portfolios, shares of the Portfolios may be purchased by exchanging Institutional Class shares of another series of the Trust for shares of the Portfolios. Shares may only be exchanged with respect to

July 30, 2021 (as supplemented December 15, 2021) | Offering Memorandum  31

Private Account Portfolio Series

Portfolios that are registered in an investor’s state of residence or where an exemption from registration is available. An exchange order is treated the same for tax purposes as a redemption followed by a purchase and may result in a capital gain or loss, and special rules may apply in computing tax basis when determining gain or loss. See “Tax Consequences” in this Offering Memorandum and “Taxation” in the Offering Memorandum Supplement.
Abusive Trading Practices
The Trust discourages excessive, short-term trading and other abusive trading practices, sometimes referred to as “market timing.”
To discourage excessive, short-term trading and other abusive trading practices, the Trust’s Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to detect and prevent short-term trading activity that may be harmful to the Portfolios and their shareholders. However, because only PIMCO is permitted to purchase and redeem a Portfolio’s shares the risk of market timing activity in the Portfolios is negligible.
How Portfolio Shares are Priced
The price of a Portfolio’s shares is based on a Portfolio’s NAV. The NAV of a Portfolio’s shares is determined by dividing the total value of a Portfolio’s investments and other assets, less any liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding.
With respect to each Portfolio other than the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, portfolio shares are ordinarily valued as of the NYSE Close on each day that the NYSE is open. With respect to the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, portfolio shares are ordinarily valued as of 3:00 p.m., Eastern time, on each day that the NYSE is open. Information that becomes known to the Portfolios or their agents after the time as of which NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the price of a security or the NAV determined earlier that day. If regular trading on the NYSE closes earlier than scheduled, each Portfolio reserves the right to either (i) calculate its NAV as of the earlier closing time or (ii) calculate its NAV as of the normally scheduled close of regular trading on the NYSE for that day. Each Portfolio generally does not calculate its NAV on days during which the NYSE is closed. However, if the NYSE is closed on a day it would normally be open for business, each Portfolio reserves the right to calculate its NAV as of the normally scheduled close of regular trading on the NYSE for that day or such other time that a Portfolio may determine.
For purposes of calculating NAV, portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official closing prices or the last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from established market makers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by a Portfolio’s approved pricing services, quotation reporting systems and other third-party sources (together, “Pricing Services”).
The Portfolios will normally use pricing data for domestic equity securities received shortly after the NYSE Close (or, in the case of the PIMCO Short- Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, the earlier of 3:00 p.m. Eastern time and the NYSE Close) and do not normally take into account trading, clearances or settlements that take place after the NYSE Close (or, in the case of the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, the earlier of 3:00 p.m., Eastern time and the NYSE Close). If market value pricing is used, a foreign (non-U.S.) equity security traded on a foreign exchange or on more than one exchange is typically valued using pricing information from the exchange considered by the manager to be the primary exchange. A foreign (non-U.S.) equity security will be valued as of the close of trading on the foreign exchange, or the NYSE Close (or, in the case of the PIMCO Short- Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, the earlier of 3:00 p.m. Eastern time and the NYSE Close), if the NYSE Close (or, in the case of the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, the earlier of 3:00 p.m. Eastern time and the NYSE Close) occurs before the end of trading on the foreign exchange.
Domestic and foreign (non-U.S.) fixed income securities, non-exchange traded derivatives, and equity options are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or Pricing Services using data reflecting the earlier closing of the principal markets for those securities. Prices obtained from Pricing Services may be based on, among other things, information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed- delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Exchange traded options, except equity options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Swap agreements are valued on the basis of bid quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or market-based prices supplied by Pricing Services or other pricing sources. With respect to any portion of a Portfolio’s assets that are invested in one or more open-end management investment companies, a Portfolio’s NAV will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.
If a foreign (non-U.S.) equity security’s value has materially changed after the close of the security’s primary exchange or principal market but before the NYSE Close (or, in the case of the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, the earlier of 3:00 p.m. Eastern time and the NYSE Close), the security may be valued at fair value based on procedures established and approved by the Board of Trustees. Foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities that do not trade when the NYSE is open are also valued at fair value. With respect to foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities, a Portfolio may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided by Pricing Services and other third-party vendors, which may recommend fair value or adjustments with reference to other securities, indexes or assets. In considering whether fair valuation is required and in determining fair values, a Portfolio may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of U.S. securities or securities

indexes) that occur after the close of the relevant market and before the NYSE Close (or, in the case of the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, the earlier of 3:00 p.m. Eastern time and the NYSE Close). A Portfolio may utilize modeling tools provided by third-party vendors to determine fair values of non-U.S. securities. For these purposes, any movement in the applicable reference index or instrument (“zero trigger”) between the earlier close of the applicable foreign market and the NYSE Close (or, in the case of the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, the earlier of 3:00 p.m. Eastern time and the NYSE Close) may be deemed to be a significant event, prompting the application of the pricing model (effectively resulting in daily fair valuations). Foreign (non-U.S.) exchanges may permit trading in foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities on days when the Trust is not open for business, which may result in a Portfolio’s portfolio investments being affected when you are unable to buy or sell shares.
Senior secured floating rate loans for which an active secondary market exists to a reliable degree will be valued at the mean of the last available bid/ask prices in the market for such loans, as provided by a Pricing Service. Senior secured floating rate loans for which an active secondary market does not exist to a reliable degree will be valued at fair value, which is intended to approximate market value. In valuing a senior secured floating rate loan at fair value, the factors considered may include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the creditworthiness of the borrower and any intermediate participants, (b) the terms of the loan, (c) recent prices in the market for similar loans, if any, and (d) recent prices in the market for instruments of similar quality, rate, period until next interest rate reset and maturity.
Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from Pricing Services. As a result, the NAV of a Portfolio’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of investments traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the Trust is not open for business. As a result, to the extent that a Portfolio holds foreign (non-U.S.) securities, the NAV of a Portfolio’s shares may change when you cannot purchase, redeem or exchange shares. Investments for which market quotes or market based valuations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at its direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for applying the fair valuation methods. In the event that market quotes or market based valuations are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to a Board approved valuation method, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Oversight Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally based on recommendations provided by PIMCO.
Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/ask information, broker quotes, Pricing Services pricing), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the NYSE Close (or, in the case of the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, the earlier of 3:00 p.m. Eastern time and the NYSE Close), that materially affect the values of a Portfolio’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of a Portfolio’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be reevaluated in light of such significant events.
When a Portfolio uses fair valuation to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotes from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe reflects fair value. Fair valuation may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of a Portfolio NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that a Portfolio could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by a Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold.
Portfolio Distributions
Each Portfolio distributes substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders in the form of dividends. Each Portfolio, except the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, intends to declare and pay income dividends quarterly to shareholders of record. The PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II intends to declare income dividends daily and distribute them monthly to shareholders of record.
In addition, each Portfolio distributes any net capital gains it earns from the sale of portfolio securities to shareholders no less frequently than annually.
A Portfolio’s dividend and capital gain distributions will automatically be reinvested in additional shares of a Portfolio at NAV unless the shareholder elects to have the distributions paid in cash. Shareholders do not pay any sales charges on shares received through the reinvestment of Portfolio distributions.

Tax Consequences
The following information is meant as a general summary for U.S. taxpayers. Please see the Offering Memorandum Supplement for additional information. You should rely on your own tax adviser for advice about the particular federal, state and local tax consequences to you of investing in any Portfolio. Non-U.S. shareholders should also consider the tax consequences imposed by their domicile’s tax revenue authority.
Portfolio Distributions.  Each Portfolio will distribute substantially all of its income and gains to its shareholders every year, and shareholders will be taxed on distributions they receive, regardless of whether they are paid in cash or are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. If a Portfolio declares a dividend in October, November or December but pays it in January, you may be taxed on the dividend as if you received it in the previous year.
Portfolio taxable dividends (i.e., distributions of investment income) are generally taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. A portion of distributions may be qualified dividends taxable at lower rates for individual shareholders. However, in light of the investment strategies of the Portfolios, it is not anticipated that a significant portion of the dividends paid by the Portfolios will be eligible to be reported as qualified dividends. Federal taxes on Portfolio distributions of gains are determined by how long a Portfolio owned the investments that generated the gains, rather than how long a shareholder has owned the shares. Distributions of gains from investments that a Portfolio owned for more than one year will generally be taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gains. Distributions of gains from investments that a Portfolio owned for one year or less will generally be taxable as ordinary income.
You will receive a tax report early each year. The report will tell you which dividends and redemptions must be treated as taxable ordinary income, and which, if any, are long-term capital gains or exempt interest dividends. If a Portfolio reports a dividend as a capital gains distribution (typically from gains from investments that the Portfolio owned for more than one year), you will be liable for tax on that dividend at the long-term capital gains tax rate, no matter how long you have held your shares of the Portfolio. Distributions of investment income and any short-term capital gains will generally be taxed as ordinary income.
The tax treatment of income, gains and losses attributable to foreign currencies (and derivatives on such currencies), and various other special tax rules applicable to certain financial transactions and instruments could affect the amount, timing and character of a Portfolio’s distributions. In some cases, these tax rules could also result in a retroactive change in the tax character of prior distributions and may also possibly cause all, or a portion, of prior distributions to be reclassified as returns of capital for tax purposes. See “Returns of Capital” below.
Taxable Portfolio distributions are taxable to shareholders even if they are paid from income or gains earned by a Portfolio prior to the shareholder’s investment and thus were included in the price paid for the shares. For example, a shareholder who purchases shares on or just before the record date of a Portfolio’s distribution will pay full price for the shares and may receive a portion of the investment back as a taxable distribution.
Important Tax Reporting Considerations. Your financial intermediary or a Portfolio (if you hold your shares in a Portfolio direct account) will report gains and losses realized on redemptions of shares for shareholders who are individuals and S corporations purchased after January 1, 2012 to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This information will also be reported to you on Form 1099-B and the IRS each year. In calculating the gain or loss on redemptions of shares, the average cost method will be used to determine the cost basis of Portfolio shares purchased after January 1, 2012 unless you instruct a Portfolio in writing that you want to use another available method for cost basis reporting (for example, First In, First Out (FIFO), Last In, First Out (LIFO), Specific Lot Identification (SLID) or High Cost, First Out (HIFO)). If you designate SLID as your cost basis method, you will also need to designate a secondary cost basis method (Secondary Method). If a Secondary Method is not provided, the Portfolios will designate FIFO as the Secondary Method and will use the Secondary Method with respect to systematic withdrawals made after January 1, 2012. If a shareholder is a corporation and has not instructed a Portfolio that it is a C corporation in its Account Application or by written instruction, a Portfolio will treat the shareholder as an S corporation and file a Form 1099-B.
Sales, Exchanges and Redemptions of Portfolio Shares. You will generally have a capital gain or loss if you dispose of your Portfolio shares by redemption, exchange or sale. The amount of the gain or loss and the rate of tax will depend primarily upon how much you paid for the shares, how much you sell them for, and how long you hold them. When a shareholder exchanges shares of a Portfolio for shares of another Portfolio, the transaction will be treated as a sale of the exchanged Portfolio shares, and any gain on those shares will generally be subject to federal income tax.
Returns of Capital. If a Portfolio’s distributions exceed its taxable income and capital gains realized during a taxable year, all or a portion of the distributions made in the same taxable year may be recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders. A return of capital distribution will generally not be taxable, but will reduce each shareholder’s cost basis in a Portfolio and result in a higher reported capital gain or lower reported capital loss when those shares on which the distribution was received are sold.
Medicare Tax. An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from the Portfolios and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Portfolio shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds certain threshold amounts.

34  Offering Memorandum | Private Account Portfolio Series

Offering Memorandum

Backup Withholding. Each Portfolio may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax on all taxable distributions payable to you if you fail to provide a Portfolio with your correct taxpayer identification number or to make required certifications, or if you have been notified by the IRS that you are subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability.
Foreign Withholding Taxes. A Portfolio may be subject to foreign withholding or other foreign taxes, which in some cases can be significant on any income or gain from investments in foreign securities. In that case, a Portfolio’s total return on those securities would be decreased. Each Portfolio may generally deduct these taxes in computing its taxable income. Rather than deducting these foreign taxes, if more than 50% of the value of a Portfolio’s total assets at the close of its taxable year consists of stock or securities of foreign corporations or foreign governments, or if at least 50% of the value of a Portfolio’s total assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable year is represented by interests in other regulated investment companies, such Portfolio may make an election to treat a proportionate amount of eligible foreign taxes as constituting a taxable distribution to each shareholder, which would, subject to certain limitations, generally allow the shareholder to either (i) to credit that proportionate amount of taxes against U.S. Federal income tax liability as a foreign tax credit or (ii) to take that amount as an itemized deduction. Although in some cases a Portfolio may be able to apply for a refund of a portion of such taxes, the ability to successfully obtain such a refund may be uncertain.
A Note on the PIMCO Municipal Portfolio. Dividends paid to shareholders of a Portfolio are expected to be reported by a Portfolio as “exempt-interest dividends” to the extent that such dividends are derived from municipal bond interest and shareholders may generally exclude such dividends from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The federal tax exemption for “exempt-interest dividends” from municipal bonds does not necessarily result in the exemption of such dividends from state and local taxes. A Portfolio may invest a portion of its assets in securities that generate income that is not exempt from federal or state income tax. Dividends derived from taxable interest or capital gains will be subject to federal income tax and will be subject to state tax in most states. The payment of a portion of a Portfolio’s dividends as dividends exempt from federal income tax will not provide additional tax benefits to investors in tax-sheltered retirement plans or individuals not subject to federal income tax.
Foreign shareholders may be subject to U.S. tax withholding of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) on distributions from a Portfolio. Additionally the Portfolios are required to withhold U.S. tax (at a 30% rate) on payments of taxable dividends made to certain non-U.S. entities that fail to comply (or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. Shareholders may be requested to provide additional information to enable a Portfolio to determine whether withholding is required.
Investment Restrictions
Fundamental Investment Restrictions
Each Portfolio’s investment objective, except PIMCO Long Duration Credit Bond Portfolio, PIMCO Low Duration Portfolio and PIMCO Moderate Duration Portfolio, as set forth in the “Investment Objective” section, together with the investment restrictions set forth below, are fundamental policies of the Portfolios and may not be changed with respect to a Portfolio without shareholder approval by vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of that Portfolio.
(1)
A Portfolio (except, to the extent described below, the PIMCO ABS and Short-Term Investments Portfolio and PIMCO Short-Term Portfolio) may not concentrate its investments in a particular industry, as that term is used in the 1940 Act, as amended, and as interpreted, modified, or otherwise permitted by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time. Each of the PIMCO ABS and Short-Term Investments Portfolio and PIMCO Short-Term Portfolio will normally concentrate its investments in mortgage-related assets issued or guaranteed by government agencies or other governmental entities or by private originators or issuers, which for purposes of this investment restriction, each of the PIMCO ABS and Short-Term Investments Portfolio and PIMCO Short-Term Portfolio treats collectively as an industry or group of related industries;
(2)
The PIMCO ABS and Short-Term Investments Portfolio, PIMCO High Yield and Short-Term Investments, PIMCO Investment Grade Credit Bond, PIMCO Long Duration Credit Bond, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Moderate Duration, PIMCO Mortgage and Short-Term Investments, PIMCO Municipal, PIMCO Real Return, PIMCO Short-Term, Short Term Floating NAV II, and PIMCO U.S. Government and Short-Term Investments Portfolios, may not, with respect to 75% of its assets, purchase the securities of any issuer, except securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, if, as a result, (i) more than 5% of a Portfolio’s assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (ii) a Portfolio would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer;
(3)
A Portfolio may not purchase or sell real estate, although it may purchase securities secured by real estate or interests therein, or securities issued by companies which invest in real estate, or interests therein;
(4)
A Portfolio may not purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts or oil, gas or mineral programs. This restriction shall not prohibit a Portfolio, subject to restrictions described in this Offering Memorandum and elsewhere in the Offering Memorandum Supplement, from

July 30, 2021 (as supplemented December 15, 2021) | Offering Memorandum  35

Private Account Portfolio Series

purchasing, selling or entering into futures contracts, options on futures contracts, foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency options, or any interest rate, securities-related or foreign currency-related hedging instrument, including swap agreements and other derivative instruments, subject to compliance with any applicable provisions of the federal securities and commodities laws;
(5)
A Portfolio may not borrow money or issue any senior security, except as permitted under the 1940 Act, and as interpreted, modified, or otherwise permitted by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time;
(6)
A Portfolio may not make loans except as permitted under the 1940 Act, and as interpreted, modified, or otherwise permitted by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time; and
(7)
A Portfolio may not act as an underwriter of securities of other issuers, except to the extent that in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities, it may be deemed to be an underwriter under the federal securities laws.
(8)
The PIMCO Municipal Portfolio will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in investments the income of which is exempt from federal income tax.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is a fundamental policy of each Portfolio that it may elect, in the future, to pursue its investment objective by investing in one or more underlying investment companies or vehicles that in turn invest in the securities described in the “Investment Objectives and Strategies” section and whose shares may be offered to other parties as well as a Portfolio.
The Portfolios interpret their policy with respect to concentration in a particular industry under Fundamental Investment Restriction No. 1, above, to apply to direct investments in the securities of issuers in a particular industry, and to any other investments, such as certain derivatives, that may properly be assigned to a particular industry, as defined by the Trust. For purposes of this restriction, a foreign government is considered to be an industry. Currency positions are not considered to be an investment in a foreign government for industry concentration purposes. Mortgage-backed securities that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities are not subject to the Portfolios’ industry concentration restrictions, by virtue of the exclusion from that test available to all U.S. Government securities. Similarly, municipal bonds issued by states, municipalities and other political subdivisions, agencies, authorities and instrumentalities of states and multi-state agencies and authorities are not subject to the Portfolios’ industry concentration restrictions. In the case of privately issued mortgage-related securities, or any asset-backed securities, the Trust takes the position that such securities do not represent interests in any particular “industry” or group of industries.
A Portfolio may invest in certain derivative instruments which, while representing a relatively small amount of the Portfolio’s net assets, provide a greater amount of economic exposure to a particular industry. To the extent that a Portfolio obtains economic exposure to a particular industry in this manner, it may be subject to similar risks of concentration in that industry as if it had invested in the securities of issuers in that industry directly.
Non-Fundamental Investment Restrictions
Each Portfolio is also subject to the following non-fundamental investment restrictions and policies (which may be changed without shareholder approval) relating to the investment of its assets and activities.
(1)
A Portfolio may not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments that are assets, as determined pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act and the Portfolio’s procedures adopted thereunder; and
(2)
A Portfolio may not invest in any combination of mortgage-related or other asset-backed interest only, principal only or inverse floating rate securities, except that the PIMCO ABS and Short-Term Investments, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Moderate Duration and PIMCO Mortgage and Short-Term Investments Portfolios may invest up to 5% of their total assets in such securities.
In addition, the Trust has adopted the following non-fundamental investment policies that may be changed on 60 days’ notice to shareholders:
(1)
The PIMCO U.S. Government and Short-Term Investments Portfolio will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in U.S. Government investments and short-term investments.
(2)
The PIMCO Mortgage and Short-Term Investments Portfolio will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in mortgage investments and short-term investments.
(3)
The PIMCO ABS and Short-Term Investments Portfolio will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in asset-backed investments and short-term investments.
(4)
The PIMCO Investment Grade Credit Bond Portfolio will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in investment grade fixed income investments.
(5)
The PIMCO High Yield and Short-Term Investments Portfolio will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in high yield investments and short-term investments.
(6)
The PIMCO EM Bond and Short-Term Investments Portfolio will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in emerging market investments and short-term investments.
(7)
The PIMCO Long Duration Credit Bond Portfolio will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in Fixed Income Instruments.

Offering Memorandum

For purposes of these policies, the term “assets” as defined in Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act, means net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. In addition, for purposes of these policies, investments may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. Further, for purposes of a Portfolio’s investment policy adopted pursuant to Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act, a Portfolio will count derivative instruments at market value. Further, for purposes of the investment policy adopted pursuant to Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act for Non-fundamental Investment Policy 5 above, the PIMCO High Yield and Short-Term Investments Portfolio will include securities comprising its benchmark index as “high yield investments” even if the highest rating of the security is an investment grade rating. For purposes of other investment policies and restrictions, the Portfolios may value derivative instruments at market value, notional value or full exposure value (i.e., the sum of the notional amount for the contract plus the market value), or any combination of the foregoing (e.g., notional value for purposes of calculating the numerator and market value for purposes of calculating denominator for compliance with a particular policy or restriction). For example, a Portfolio may value credit default swaps at full exposure value for purposes of a Portfolio’s credit quality guidelines because such value reflects a Portfolio’s actual economic exposure during the term of the credit default swap agreement. In this context, both the notional amount and the market value may be positive or negative depending on whether a Portfolio is selling or buying protection through the credit default swap. The manner in which certain securities or other instruments are valued by the Portfolios for purposes of applying investment policies and restrictions may differ from the manner in which those investments are valued by other types of investors.
Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage
Investment Decisions and Portfolio Transactions
Investment decisions for a Portfolio and for the other investment advisory clients of PIMCO are made with a view to achieving their respective investment objectives. Investment decisions are the product of many factors in addition to basic suitability for the particular client involved (including a Portfolio). Some securities considered for investments by the Portfolios also may be appropriate for other clients served by PIMCO. Thus, a particular security may be bought or sold for certain clients even though it could have been bought or sold for other clients at the same time, including accounts in which PIMCO, its officers or employees may have a financial interest. If a purchase or sale of securities consistent with the investment policies of a Portfolio and one or more of these clients served by PIMCO is considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities will be allocated among a Portfolio and other clients pursuant to PIMCO’s trade allocation policy that is designed to ensure that all accounts, including the Portfolios, are treated fairly, equitably, and in a non-preferential manner, such that allocations are not based upon fee structure or portfolio manager preference.
PIMCO may acquire on behalf of its clients (including the Trust) securities or other financial instruments providing exposure to different aspects of the capital and debt structure of an issuer, including without limitation those that relate to senior and junior/subordinate obligations of such issuer. In certain circumstances, the interests of those clients exposed to one portion of the issuer’s capital and debt structure may diverge from those clients exposed to a different portion of the issuer’s capital and debt structure. PIMCO may advise some clients or take actions for them in their best interests with respect to their exposures to an issuer’s capital and debt structure that may diverge from the interests of other clients with different exposures to the same issuer’s capital and debt structure.
PIMCO may aggregate orders for the Portfolio with simultaneous transactions entered into on behalf of other clients of PIMCO when, in PIMCO’s reasonable judgment, aggregation may result in an overall economic benefit to the Portfolio and other clients in terms of pricing, brokerage commissions or other expenses. When feasible, PIMCO allocates trades prior to execution. When pre-execution allocation is not feasible, PIMCO promptly allocates trades following established and objective procedures. Allocations generally are made at or about the time of execution and before the end of the trading day. As a result, one account may receive a price for a particular transaction that is different from the price received by another account for a similar transaction on the same day. In general, trades are allocated among portfolio managers on a pro rata basis (to the extent a portfolio manager decides to participate fully in the trade), for further allocation by the portfolio manager among that manager’s eligible accounts. In allocating trades among accounts, portfolio managers generally consider a number of factors, including, but not limited to, each account’s deviation (in terms of risk exposure and/or performance characteristics) from a relevant model portfolio, each account’s investment objectives, restrictions and guidelines, its risk exposure, its available cash, and its existing holdings of similar securities. Once trades are allocated, they may be reallocated only in unusual circumstances due to recognition of specific account restrictions.
In some cases, PIMCO may sell a security on behalf of a client, including the Portfolios, to a broker-dealer that thereafter may be purchased for the accounts of one or more of PIMCO’s other clients, including the Portfolios, from that or another broker-dealer. PIMCO has adopted procedures it believes are reasonably designed to obtain the best execution for the transactions by each account.
Brokerage and Research Services
There is generally no stated commission in the case of fixed income securities, which are traded in the over-the-counter markets, but the price paid by the Portfolios usually includes an undisclosed dealer commission or mark-up. In underwritten offerings, the price paid by a Portfolio includes a disclosed, fixed commission or discount retained by the underwriter or dealer. Transactions on U.S. stock exchanges and other agency transactions

July 30, 2021 (as supplemented December 15, 2021) | Offering Memorandum  37

Private Account Portfolio Series

involve the payment by the Portfolios of negotiated brokerage commissions. Such commissions vary among different brokers. Also, a particular broker may charge different commissions according to such factors as the difficulty and size of the transaction. Transactions in foreign securities generally involve the payment of fixed brokerage commissions, which are generally higher than those in the United States.
PIMCO places all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, options and futures contracts for the Portfolios and buys and sells such securities, options and futures for the Trust through a substantial number of brokers and dealers. In so doing, PIMCO uses its best efforts to obtain for the Trust the best execution available. In seeking the best execution, PIMCO, having in mind the Trust’s best interests, considers all factors it deems relevant, including, by way of illustration, price, the size of the transaction, the nature of the market for the security, the amount of the commission, the timing of the transaction taking into account market prices and trends, the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker-dealer involved and the quality of service rendered by the broker-dealer in other transactions. Changes in the aggregate amount of brokerage commissions paid by the Portfolios from year-to-year may be attributable to changes in the asset size of the Portfolios, the volume of portfolio transactions effected by the Portfolios, the types of instruments in which the Portfolios invests or the rates negotiated by PIMCO on behalf of the Portfolios.
PIMCO places orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for the Portfolios' accounts with brokers or dealers selected by it in its discretion. In effecting purchases and sales of portfolio securities, options and futures for the account of the Portfolios, PIMCO will seek the best execution of the Portfolios' orders. In doing so, the Portfolios may pay higher commission rates than the lowest available when PIMCO believes it is reasonable to do so in light of the value of the brokerage and research services provided by the broker effecting the transaction, as discussed below. Although PIMCO may use financial firms that sell shares of funds managed by PIMCO to execute transactions for the Portfolios, PIMCO will not consider the sale of fund shares as a factor when choosing financial firms to execute those transactions.
It has for many years been a common practice in the investment advisory business for advisers of investment companies and other institutional investors to receive research services from broker-dealers which execute portfolio transactions for the clients of such advisers. Consistent with this practice, PIMCO may receive research services from broker-dealers with which PIMCO places the Trust’s portfolio transactions. PIMCO may also receive research or research credits from brokers which are generated from underwriting commissions when purchasing new issues of fixed income securities or other assets for the Portfolios. These services, which in some cases may be purchased for cash, include such matters as general economic and security market reviews, industry and company reviews, evaluations of securities and recommendations as to the purchase and sale of securities. Some of these services are of value to PIMCO in advising various of its clients (including the Portfolios), although not all of these services are necessarily useful and of value in managing the Trust. The advisory fee paid by the Trust would not be reduced in the event that PIMCO and its affiliates received such services.
As permitted by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Trust may pay a broker-dealer that provides “brokerage and research services” (as defined in the Exchange Act) to PIMCO an amount of disclosed commission or spread for effecting a securities transaction for the Trust in excess of the commission or spread that another broker-dealer would have charged for effecting the same transaction.
As noted above, PIMCO may purchase new issues of securities for the Trust in underwritten fixed price offerings. In these situations, the underwriter or selling group member may provide PIMCO with research in addition to selling the securities (at the fixed public offering price) to the Trust or other advisory clients. Because the offerings are conducted at a fixed price, the ability to obtain research from a broker-dealer in this situation provides knowledge that may benefit the Trust, other PIMCO clients, and PIMCO without incurring additional costs. These arrangements may not fall within the safe harbor of Section 28(e) because the broker-dealer is considered to be acting in a principal capacity in underwritten transactions. However, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. has adopted rules expressly permitting broker-dealers to provide bona fide research to advisers in connection with fixed price offerings under certain circumstances. As a general matter in these situations, the underwriter or selling group member will provide research credits at a rate that is higher than that which is available for secondary market transactions.
Portfolio Turnover
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” PIMCO manages the Portfolios without regard generally to the restrictions on portfolio turnover. When a portfolio manager deems it appropriate and particularly during periods of volatile market movements, each Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective. The use of certain derivative instruments with relatively short maturities may tend to exaggerate the portfolio turnover rate for the Portfolios. Trading in fixed income securities does not generally involve the payment of brokerage commissions, but does involve indirect transaction costs. The use of futures contracts may involve the payment of commissions to futures commission merchants. Higher portfolio turnover (e.g., an annual rate greater than 100% of the average value of a Portfolio’s portfolio) involves correspondingly greater expenses to a Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. The higher the rate of portfolio turnover of a Portfolio, the higher these transaction costs borne by a Portfolio generally will be. Such sales may result in realization of taxable capital gains (including short-term capital gains which are generally taxed to shareholders at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect a Portfolio’s performance.

38  Offering Memorandum | Private Account Portfolio Series

Offering Memorandum

The portfolio turnover rate of a Portfolio is calculated by dividing (a) the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the particular fiscal year by (b) the monthly average of the value of the portfolio securities owned by a Portfolio during the particular fiscal year. In calculating the rate of portfolio turnover, there is excluded from both (a) and (b) all securities, including options, whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition were one year or less. Proceeds from short sales and assets used to cover short positions undertaken are included in the amounts of securities sold and purchased, respectively, during the year.
Characteristics and Risks of Securities and Investment Techniques
This section provides additional information about some of the principal investments and related risks of the Portfolios described under “Portfolio Summaries” and “Description of Principal Risks” above. It also describes characteristics and risks of additional securities and investment techniques that may be used by the Portfolios from time to time. Most of these securities and investment techniques described herein are discretionary, which means that PIMCO can decide whether to use them or not. This Offering Memorandum does not attempt to disclose all of the various types of securities and investment techniques that may be used by the Portfolios. As with any mutual fund, investors in the Portfolios rely on the professional investment judgment and skill of PIMCO and the portfolio managers. The investments made by the Portfolios at any given time are not expected to be the same as those made by other funds for which PIMCO acts as investment adviser, including mutual funds with investment objectives and strategies similar to the Portfolios. Accordingly, the performance of the Portfolios can be expected to vary from that of other funds advised by PIMCO. Please see “Investment Objectives and Policies” in the Offering Memorandum Supplement for more detailed information about the securities and investment techniques described in this section and about other strategies and techniques that may be used by the Portfolios. Because the PIMCO International Portfolio. may invest a portion of its assets in the Subsidiary, which may hold some of the investments described in this Offering Memorandum, the Portfolio may be indirectly exposed to the risks associated with those investments. With respect to its investments, the Subsidiary will generally be subject to the same fundamental, non-fundamental and certain other investment restrictions as the Portfolio. The Portfolio and the Subsidiary may test for compliance with certain investment restrictions on a consolidated basis.
Investors should be aware that the investments made by a Portfolio and the results achieved by a Portfolio at any given time are not expected to be the same as those made by other funds for which PIMCO acts as investment adviser, including funds with names, investment objectives and policies similar to a Portfolio. This may be attributable to a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the use of a different portfolio management team or strategy, when a particular fund commenced operations or the size of a particular fund, in each case as compared to other similar funds. Significant shareholder purchases and redemptions may adversely impact the Portfolio’s portfolio management. For example, the Portfolio may be forced to sell a comparatively large portion of its portfolio to meet significant shareholder redemptions, or hold a comparatively large portion of its portfolio in cash due to significant shareholder purchases, in each case when the Portfolio otherwise would not seek to do so. Such shareholder transactions may cause the Portfolios  to make investment decisions at inopportune times or prices or miss attractive investment opportunities. Such transactions may also increase the Portfolio’s transaction costs, accelerate the realization of taxable income if sales of securities resulted in gains, or otherwise cause the Portfolio to perform differently than intended. Similarly, significant shareholder purchases may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance to the extent the Portfolio is delayed in investing new cash and, as a result, holds a proportionally larger cash position than under ordinary circumstances. While such risks may apply to portfolios of any size, such risks are heightened in portfolios with fewer assets under management. In addition, new portfolios may not be able to fully implement their investment strategy immediately upon commencing investment operations, which could reduce investment performance.
More generally, the Portfolios may be adversely affected when a large shareholder purchases or redeems large amounts of shares, which can occur at any time and may impact a Portfolio in the same manner as a high volume of purchase or redemption requests. Such large shareholders include, but are not limited to, other funds, institutional investors, and asset allocators who make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients. Large shareholder transactions may cause a Portfolio to make investment decisions at inopportune times or prices or miss attractive investment opportunities. In addition, such transactions may also cause the Portfolios  to sell certain assets in order to meet purchase or redemption requests, which could indirectly affect the liquidity of the Portfolio’s portfolio. Such transactions may also increase the Portfolio’s transaction costs, decrease economies of scale, accelerate the realization of taxable income, or otherwise cause the Portfolio to perform differently than intended. While large shareholder transactions may be more frequent under certain circumstances, the Portfolios  are generally subject to the risk that a large shareholder can purchase or redeem a significant percentage of Portfolio shares at any time. Moreover, the Portfolios  are subject to the risk that other shareholders may make investment decisions based on the choices of a large shareholder, which could exacerbate any potential negative effects experienced by the Portfolios .
Investment Selection
Certain Portfolios in this Offering Memorandum seek maximum total return. The total return sought by a Portfolio consists of both income earned on a Portfolio’s investments and capital appreciation, if any, arising from increases in the market value of a Portfolio’s holdings. Capital appreciation of fixed income securities generally results from decreases in market interest rates, foreign currency appreciation, or improving credit fundamentals for a particular market sector or security.

July 30, 2021 (as supplemented December 15, 2021) | Offering Memorandum  39

Private Account Portfolio Series

In selecting investments for the Portfolio, PIMCO develops an outlook for interest rates, currency exchange rates and the economy; analyzes credit and call risks, and uses other investment selection techniques. The proportion of the Portfolio’s assets committed to investments with particular characteristics (such as quality, sector, interest rate or maturity) varies based on PIMCO’s outlook for the U.S. economy and the economies of other countries in the world, the financial markets and other factors.
With respect to fixed income investing, PIMCO attempts to identify areas of the bond market that are undervalued relative to the rest of the market. PIMCO identifies these areas by grouping Fixed Income Instruments into sectors such as money markets, governments, corporates, mortgages, asset-backed and international. In seeking to identify undervalued currencies, PIMCO may consider many factors, including but not limited to longer-term analysis of relative interest rates, inflation rates, real exchange rates, purchasing power parity, trade account balances and current account balances, as well as other factors that influence exchange rates such as flows, market technical trends and government policies. Sophisticated proprietary software then assists in evaluating sectors and pricing specific investments. Once investment opportunities are identified, PIMCO will shift assets among sectors depending upon changes in relative valuations, credit spreads and other factors. There is no guarantee that PIMCO’s investment selection techniques will produce the desired results.
Fixed Income Instruments
“Fixed Income Instruments,” as used generally in this Offering Memorandum, includes:
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or government-sponsored enterprises (“U.S. Government Securities”);
corporate debt securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including convertible securities and corporate commercial paper;
mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities;
inflation-indexed bonds issued both by governments and corporations;
structured notes, including hybrid or “indexed” securities and event-linked bonds;
bank capital and trust preferred securities;
loan participations and assignments;
delayed funding loans and revolving credit facilities;
bank certificates of deposit, fixed time deposits and bankers’ acceptances;
repurchase agreements on Fixed Income Instruments and reverse repurchase agreements on Fixed Income Instruments;
debt securities issued by states or local governments and their agencies, authorities and other government-sponsored enterprises;
obligations of non-U.S. governments or their subdivisions, agencies and government-sponsored enterprises; and
obligations of international agencies or supranational entities.
Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury.
The Portfolios, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, or exemptive relief therefrom, may invest in derivatives based on Fixed Income Instruments.
Duration
Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates that incorporates a security’s yield, coupon, final maturity and call features, among other characteristics. The longer a security’s duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. Similarly, a portfolio with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a portfolio with a shorter average portfolio duration. By way of example, the price of a bond fund with an average duration of five years would be expected to fall approximately 5% if interest rates rose by one percentage point. Similarly, the price of a bond fund with an average duration of fifteen years would be expected to fall approximately 15% if interest rates rose by one percentage point. Conversely, the price of a bond fund with an average duration of negative three years would be expected to rise approximately 3% if interest rates rose by one percentage point. The maturity of a security, another commonly used measure of price sensitivity, measures only the time until final payment is due, whereas duration takes into account the pattern of all payments of interest and principal on a security over time, including how these payments are affected by prepayments and by changes in interest rates, as well as the time until an interest rate is reset (in the case of variable-rate securities). Except with respect to the PIMCO Low Duration Portfolio and the PIMCO Moderate Duration Portfolio, PIMCO uses an internal model for calculating duration, which may result in a different value for the duration of an index compared to the duration calculated by the index provider or another third party.
U.S. Government Securities
U.S. Government Securities are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. Government, its agencies or government-sponsored enterprises. The U.S. Government does not guarantee the NAV of a Portfolio’s shares. U.S. Government Securities are subject to market and interest rate risk, as well as varying degrees of credit risk. Some U.S. Government Securities are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. Other types of U.S. Government Securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States (but not issued by the U.S. Treasury). These securities may have less credit risk than U.S. Government Securities not supported by the full faith and credit of the

40  Offering Memorandum | Private Account Portfolio Series

Offering Memorandum

United States. Such other types of U.S. Government Securities are: (1) supported by the ability of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury; (2) supported only by the credit of the issuing agency, instrumentality or government-sponsored corporation; or (3) supported by the United States in some other way. These securities may be subject to greater credit risk. U.S. Government Securities include zero coupon securities, which do not distribute interest on a current basis and tend to be subject to greater market risk than interest-paying securities of similar maturities.
Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), a wholly-owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Under the direction of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, FNMA and FHLMC have entered into a joint initiative to develop a common securitization platform for the issuance of a uniform mortgage-backed security (the “Single Security Initiative”) that aligns the characteristics of FNMA and FHLMC certificates. The Single Security Initiative was implemented in June 2019, and the effects it may have on the market for mortgage-backed securities are uncertain.
Municipal Bonds
Municipal Bonds are generally issued by states, territories, possessions and local governments and their agencies, authorities and other instrumentalities. Municipal Bonds are subject to interest rate, credit and market risk, uncertainties related to the tax status of a Municipal Bond or the rights of investors invested in these securities. The ability of an issuer to make payments could be affected by litigation, legislation or other political events or the bankruptcy of the issuer. In addition, imbalances in supply and demand in the municipal market may result in a deterioration of liquidity and a lack of price transparency in the market. At certain times, this may affect pricing, execution and transaction costs associated with a particular trade. The secondary market for municipal bonds, particularly the lower rated bonds, also tends to be less well-developed and less liquid than many other securities markets, which may adversely affect the ability of a Portfolio to sell its bonds at attractive prices or value municipal bonds. The value of certain municipal securities, in particular general obligation debt, may also be adversely affected by rising health care costs, increasing unfunded pension liabilities, changes in accounting standards and by the phasing out of federal programs providing financial support. Lower rated Municipal Bonds are subject to greater credit and market risk than higher quality Municipal Bonds. The types of Municipal Bonds in which the Portfolios  may invest include municipal lease obligations, municipal general obligation bonds, municipal essential service revenue bonds, municipal cash equivalents, and pre-refunded and escrowed to maturity Municipal Bonds. The Portfolios  may also invest in industrial development bonds, which are Municipal Bonds issued by a government agency on behalf of a private sector company and, in most cases, are not backed by the credit of the issuing municipality and may therefore involve more risk. The Portfolios  may also invest in securities issued by entities whose underlying assets are Municipal Bonds.
Pre-refunded Municipal Bonds are tax-exempt bonds that have been refunded to a call date on or before the final maturity of principal and remain outstanding in the municipal market. The payment of principal and interest of the pre-refunded Municipal Bonds held by a Portfolio is funded from securities in a designated escrow account that holds U.S. Treasury securities or other obligations of the U.S. Government (including its agencies and instrumentalities (“Agency Securities”)). As the payment of principal and interest is generated from securities held in a designated escrow account, the pledge of the municipality has been fulfilled and the original pledge of revenue by the municipality is no longer in place. The escrow account securities pledged to pay the principal and interest of the pre-refunded Municipal Bond do not guarantee the price movement of the bond before maturity. Issuers of municipal bonds refund in advance of maturity the outstanding higher cost debt and issue new, lower cost debt, placing the proceeds of the lower cost issuance into an escrow account to pre-refund the older, higher cost debt. Investment in pre-refunded Municipal Bonds held by a Portfolio may subject the Portfolio to interest rate risk, market risk and credit risk.
In addition, while a secondary market exists for pre-refunded Municipal Bonds, if a Portfolio sells pre-refunded Municipal Bonds prior to maturity, the price received may be more or less than the original cost, depending on market conditions at the time of sale.
The Portfolios  may invest in trust certificates issued in tender option bond programs. In these programs, a trust typically issues two classes of certificates and uses the proceeds to purchase municipal securities having relatively long maturities and bearing interest at a fixed interest rate substantially higher than prevailing short-term tax-exempt rates. There is a risk that a Portfolio investing in a tender option bond program will not be considered the owner of a tender option bond for federal income tax purposes, and thus will not be entitled to treat such interest as exempt from federal income tax. Certain tender option bonds may be illiquid or may become illiquid as a result of, among other things, a credit rating downgrade, a payment default or a disqualification from tax-exempt status.

July 30, 2021 (as supplemented December 15, 2021) | Offering Memorandum  41

Private Account Portfolio Series

The Portfolio’s investment in the securities issued by a tender option bond trust may involve greater risk and volatility than an investment in a fixed rate bond, and the value of such securities may decrease significantly when market interest rates increase. Tender option bond trusts could be terminated due to market, credit or other events beyond a Portfolio’s control, which could require the Portfolio to dispose of portfolio investments at inopportune times and prices. The Portfolio may use a tender option bond program as a way of achieving leverage in its portfolio, in which case the Portfolio will be subject to leverage risk.
In December 2013, regulators finalized rules implementing Section 619 (the “Volcker Rule”) and Section 941 (the “Risk Retention Rules”) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Both the Volcker Rule and the Risk Retention Rules apply to tender option bond programs and place restrictions on the way certain sponsors may participate in tender option bond programs. Specifically, the Volcker Rule generally prohibits banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading or from acquiring or retaining an ownership interest in, or sponsoring, a hedge fund or private equity fund (“covered fund”), subject to certain exemptions and limitations. Tender option bond programs generally are considered to be covered funds under the Volcker Rule, and, thus, may not be sponsored by a banking entity absent an applicable exemption. The Volcker Rule does not provide for any exemption that would allow banking entities to sponsor tender option bonds in the same manner as they did prior to the Volcker Rule’s compliance date, which was July 21, 2017.
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities
Mortgage-related securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property.
The value of some mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. When interest rates rise, the value of a mortgage-related security generally will decline; however, when interest rates are declining, the value of mortgage-related securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed income securities. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security, and may shorten or extend the effective maturity of the security beyond what was anticipated at the time of purchase. If unanticipated rates of prepayment on underlying mortgages increase the effective maturity of a mortgage-related security, the volatility of the security can be expected to increase. See “Extension Risk” and “Prepayment Risk” below. The values of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
Extension Risk. Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are subject to Extension Risk, which is the risk that the issuer of such a security pays back the principal of such an obligation later than expected. This may occur when interest rates rise. This may negatively affect Portfolio returns, as the value of the security decreases when principal payments are made later than expected. In addition, because principal payments are made later than expected, the Portfolio may be prevented from investing proceeds it would otherwise have received at a given time at the higher prevailing interest rates.
Prepayment Risk. Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are subject to Prepayment Risk, which is the risk that the issuer of such a security pays back the principal of such an obligation earlier than expected (due to the sale of the underlying property, refinancing, or foreclosure). This may occur when interest rates decline. Prepayment may expose the Portfolio to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. Also, if a security subject to prepayment has been purchased at a premium, the value of the premium would be lost in the event of prepayment.
One type of SMBS has one class receiving all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only, or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only, or “PO” class). The yield to maturity on an IO class is extremely sensitive to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgage assets, and a rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio’s yield to maturity from these securities. A Portfolio may not invest in any combination of mortgage-related or other asset-backed IO, PO, or inverse floater securities, except that the PIMCO ABS and Short-Term Investments, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Moderate Duration and PIMCO Mortgage and Short-Term Investments Portfolios may invest up to 5% of their total assets in such securities.
Certain Portfolios may invest in mortgage-related securities that reflect an interest in reverse mortgages. Due to the unique nature of the underlying loans, reverse mortgage-related securities may be subject to risks different than other types of mortgage-related securities. The date of repayment for such loans is uncertain and may occur sooner or later than anticipated. The timing of payments for the corresponding mortgage-related security may be uncertain.
Each Portfolio may invest in each of collateralized bond obligations (“CBOs”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), other collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) and other similarly structured securities. CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs are types of asset-backed securities. A CBO is a trust which is backed by a diversified pool of high-risk, below investment grade fixed income securities. A CLO is a trust typically collateralized by a pool of

42  Offering Memorandum | Private Account Portfolio Series

Offering Memorandum

loans, which may include, among others, domestic and foreign senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans. Other CDOs are trusts backed by other types of assets representing obligations of various parties. Certain Portfolios may invest in other asset-backed securities that have been offered to investors.
Privately Issued Mortgage-Related Securities. Pools created by non-governmental issuers generally offer a higher rate of interest than government and government-related pools because there are no direct or indirect government or agency guarantees of payments in such pools. Privately issued mortgage-related securities are not subject to the same underwriting requirements for the underlying mortgages that are applicable to those mortgage-related securities that have a government or government-sponsored entity guarantee. As a result, the mortgage loans underlying privately issued mortgage-related securities may, and frequently do, have less favorable collateral, credit risk or other underwriting characteristics than government or government-sponsored mortgage-related securities and have wider variances in a number of terms including interest rate, term, size, purpose and borrower characteristics. The risk of nonpayment is greater for mortgage-related securities that are backed by loans that were originated under weak underwriting standards, including loans made to borrowers with limited means to make repayment. A level of risk exists for all loans, although, historically, the poorest performing loans have been those classified as subprime. Privately issued mortgage-related securities are not traded on an exchange and there may be a limited market for the securities, especially when there is a perceived weakness in the mortgage and real estate market sectors. Without an active trading market, mortgage-related securities held in the Portfolio’s portfolio may be particularly difficult to value because of the complexities involved in assessing the value of the underlying mortgage loans.
Privately Issued Mortgage-Related Securities include securities that reflect an interest in, and are secured by, mortgage loans on commercial real property. Many of the risks of investing in commercial mortgage-backed securities reflect the risks of investing in the real estate securing the underlying mortgage loans. These risks reflect the effects of local and other economic conditions on real estate markets, the ability of tenants to make loan payments, and the ability of a property to attract and retain tenants.
Loan Participations and Assignments
Each Portfolio (except the PIMCO Municipal Portfolio) may invest in fixed- and floating-rate loans, which investments generally will be in the form of loan participations and assignments of all or portions of such loans. Participations and assignments involve special types of risk, including extension risk, prepayment risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and the risks of being a lender. Loans are subject to the risk that scheduled interest or principal payments will not be made in a timely manner or at all, either of which may adversely affect the value of the loan. In addition, the collateral underlying a loan may be unavailable or insufficient to satisfy a borrower’s obligation, and a Portfolio could become part owner of any collateral if a loan is foreclosed, subjecting the Portfolio to costs associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. If a Portfolio purchases a participation, it may only be able to enforce its rights through the lender, and may assume the credit risk of the lender in addition to the borrower.
Reinvestment
Reinvestment risk is the risk that the returns of the Portfolio will decline during periods of falling interest rates because the Portfolio may have to reinvest the proceeds from matured, traded or called debt obligations at interest rates below the Portfolio’s current earnings rate. For instance, when interest rates decline, an issuer of debt obligations may exercise an option to redeem securities prior to maturity, thereby forcing a Portfolio to invest in lower-yielding securities. A Portfolio also may choose to sell higher-yielding portfolio securities and to purchase lower-yielding securities to achieve greater portfolio diversification, because a Portfolio’s portfolio manager believes the current holdings are overvalued or for other investment-related reasons. A decline in the returns received by a Portfolio from its investments is likely to have an adverse effect on a Portfolio’s NAV, yield and total return.
Focused Investment
To the extent that a Portfolio focuses its investments in a particular sector, the Portfolio may be susceptible to loss due to adverse developments affecting that sector. These developments include, but are not limited to, governmental regulation; inflation; rising interest rates; cost increases in raw materials, fuel and other operating expenses; technological innovations that may render existing products and equipment obsolete; competition from new entrants; high research and development costs; increased costs associated with compliance with environmental or other governmental regulations; and other economic, business or political developments specific to that sector. Furthermore, a Portfolio may invest a substantial portion of its assets in companies in related sectors that may share common characteristics, are often subject to similar business risks and regulatory burdens, and whose securities may react similarly to the types of developments described above, which will subject the Portfolio to greater risk. A Portfolio also will be subject to focused investment risk to the extent that it invests a substantial portion of its assets in a particular issuer, market, asset class, country or geographic region.

Corporate Debt Securities
Corporate debt securities are subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments on the obligation and may also be subject to price volatility due to such factors as interest rate sensitivity, market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity. When interest rates rise, the value of corporate debt securities can be expected to decline. Debt securities with longer maturities tend to be more sensitive to interest rate movements than those with shorter maturities. In addition, certain corporate debt securities may be highly customized and as a result may be subject to, among others, liquidity and pricing transparency risks.
Bank Capital Securities and Trust Preferred Securities
There are two common types of bank capital: Tier I and Tier II. Bank capital is generally, but not always, of investment grade quality. Tier I securities often take the form of trust preferred securities. Tier II securities are commonly thought of as hybrids of debt and preferred securities, are often perpetual (with no maturity date), callable and, under certain conditions, allow for the issuer bank to withhold payment of interest until a later date.
Trust preferred securities have the characteristics of both subordinated debt and preferred securities. The primary advantage of the structure of trust preferred securities is that they are treated by the financial institution as debt securities for tax purposes and as equity for the calculation of capital requirements. Trust preferred securities typically bear a market rate coupon comparable to interest rates available on debt of a similarly rated issuer. Typical characteristics include long-term maturities, early redemption by the issuer, periodic fixed or variable interest payments, and maturities at face value. The market value of trust preferred securities may be more volatile than those of conventional debt securities. There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of trust preferred securities and the ability of holders, such as a Portfolio, to sell their holdings.
High Yield Securities
Securities rated lower than Baa by Moody’s, or equivalently rated by S&P or Fitch, are sometimes referred to as “high yield securities” or “junk bonds.” Investing in these securities involves special risks in addition to the risks associated with investments in higher-rated fixed income securities. While offering a greater potential opportunity for capital appreciation and higher yields, high yield securities typically entail greater potential price volatility and may be less liquid than higher-rated securities. High yield securities may be regarded as predominately speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. They may also be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher-rated securities. Issuers of securities in default may fail to resume principal or interest payments, in which case a Portfolio may lose its entire investment. Certain Portfolios may invest in securities that are in default with respect to the payment of interest or repayment of principal, or present an imminent risk of default with respect to such payments.
The market values of high yield securities tend to reflect individual developments of the issuer to a greater extent than do higher-quality securities, which tend to react mainly to fluctuations in the general level of interest rates. In addition, lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to general economic conditions. Certain emerging market governments that issue high yield securities in which a Portfolio may invest are among the largest debtors to commercial banks, foreign governments and supranational organizations, such as the World Bank, and may not be able or willing to make principal and/or interest payments as they come due.
Variable and Floating Rate Securities
Variable and floating rate securities are securities that pay interest at rates that adjust whenever a specified interest rate changes and/or that reset on predetermined dates (such as the last day of a month or a calendar quarter). In addition to senior loans, variable- and floating-rate instruments may include, without limit, instruments such as catastrophe and other event-linked bonds, bank capital securities, unsecured bank loans, corporate bonds, money market instruments and certain types of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities. Each Portfolio may invest in floating rate debt instruments (“floaters”) and engage in credit spread trades. A credit spread trade is an investment position relating to a difference in the prices or interest rates of two bonds or other securities, in which the value of the investment position is determined by changes in the difference between the prices or interest rates as the case may be, of the respective securities. Variable and floating rate securities generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. While floaters provide a certain degree of protection against rises in interest rates, the Portfolios will participate in any declines in interest rates as well. The PIMCO ABS and Short-Term Investments, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Moderate Duration and PIMCO Mortgage and Short-Term Investments Portfolios may invest in inverse floating rate debt instruments (“inverse floaters”). An inverse floater may exhibit greater price volatility than a fixed rate obligation of similar credit quality. The PIMCO ABS and Short-Term Investments, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Moderate Duration and PIMCO Mortgage and Short-Term Investments Portfolios may invest up to 5% of their total assets in any combination of mortgage-related or other asset-backed IO, PO or inverse floater securities. Additionally, a Portfolio may also invest, without limitation, in residual interest bonds. Residual interest bonds are a type of inverse floater. See “Municipal Bonds.”

Inflation-Indexed Bonds
Inflation-indexed bonds (other than municipal inflation-indexed bonds and certain corporate inflation-indexed bonds, which are more fully described below) are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds (other than municipal inflation-indexed bonds and certain corporate inflation-indexed bonds) will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of TIPS. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.
Municipal inflation-indexed securities are municipal bonds that pay coupons based on a fixed rate plus CPI. With regard to municipal inflation-indexed bonds and certain corporate inflation-indexed bonds, the inflation adjustment is typically reflected in the semi-annual coupon payment. As a result, the principal value of municipal inflation-indexed bonds and such corporate inflation-indexed bonds does not adjust according to the rate of inflation. At the same time, the value of municipal inflation-indexed securities and such corporate inflation indexed securities generally will not increase if the rate of inflation decreases. Because municipal inflation-indexed securities and corporate inflation-indexed securities are a small component of the municipal bond and corporate bond markets, respectively, they may be less liquid than conventional municipal and corporate bonds.
The value of inflation-indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. If nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates may rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered taxable ordinary income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Event-Linked Exposure
Each Portfolio may obtain event-linked exposure by investing in “event-linked bonds” or “event-linked swaps” or by implementing “event-linked strategies.” Event-linked exposure results in gains or losses that typically are contingent, or formulaically related to defined trigger events. Examples of trigger events include hurricanes, earthquakes, weather-related phenomena, or statistics related to such events. Some event-linked bonds are commonly referred to as “catastrophe bonds.” If a trigger event occurs, a Portfolio may lose a portion or its entire principal invested in the bond or notional amount on a swap. Event-linked exposure often provides for an extension of maturity to process and audit loss claims where a trigger event has, or possibly has, occurred. An extension of maturity may increase volatility. Event-linked exposure may also expose a Portfolio to certain unanticipated risks including credit risk, counterparty risk, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations, and adverse tax consequences. Event-linked exposure may also be subject to liquidity risk.
Convertible and Equity Securities
Common stock represents equity ownership in a company and typically provides the common stockholder the power to vote on certain corporate actions, including the election of the company’s directors. Common stockholders participate in company profits through dividends and, in the event of bankruptcy, distributions, on a pro-rata basis after other claims are satisfied. Many factors affect the value of common stock, including earnings, earnings forecasts, corporate events and factors impacting the issuer’s industry and the market generally. Common stock generally has the greatest appreciation and depreciation potential of all corporate securities.
While the Portfolios intend to invest primarily in fixed income securities, each  Portfolio may invest in convertible securities and equity securities, as well as securities related to equities. Equity related securities include securities having an equity component (e.g., hybrids, bank capital) and equity derivatives. Convertible securities are generally preferred securities and other securities, including fixed income securities and warrants, that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock at a stated price or rate. The price of a convertible security will normally vary in some proportion to changes in the price of the underlying common stock because of this conversion or exercise feature. However, the value of a convertible security may not increase or decrease as rapidly as the underlying common stock. A convertible security will normally also provide income and is subject to interest rate risk. Convertible securities may be lower-rated securities subject to greater levels of credit risk. A Portfolio may be forced to convert a security before it would otherwise choose, which may have an adverse effect on a Portfolio’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
“Synthetic” convertible securities are selected based on the similarity of their economic characteristics to those of a traditional convertible security due to the combination of separate securities that possess the two principal characteristics of a traditional convertible security, i.e., an income-producing security (“income-producing component”) and the right to acquire an equity security (“convertible component”). The income-producing component is achieved by investing in non-convertible, income-producing securities such as bonds, preferred securities and money market instruments, which may be represented by derivative instruments. The convertible component is achieved by investing in securities or instruments such as warrants or options to buy common stock at a certain exercise price, or options on a stock index. A simple example of a synthetic

July 30, 2021 (as supplemented December 15, 2021) | Offering Memorandum  45

Private Account Portfolio Series

convertible security is the combination of a traditional corporate bond with a warrant to purchase equity securities of the issuer of the bond. A Portfolio may also purchase synthetic securities created by other parties, typically investment banks, including convertible structured notes. The income-producing and convertible components of a synthetic convertible security may be issued separately by different issuers and at different times.
Preferred and other senior securities generally entitle the holder to receive, in preference to the holders of other securities such as common stocks, dividends and a fixed share of the proceeds resulting from a liquidation of the company. Preferred and other senior securities may pay fixed or adjustable rates of return. Preferred and other senior securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. In addition, a company’s preferred and other senior securities generally pay dividends only after the company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. For this reason, the value of preferred and other senior securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. In addition, preferred and other senior securities often have special redemption rights allowing issuers to redeem such securities at par earlier than scheduled. If these rights are exercised, a Portfolio may have to reinvest proceeds in less attractive securities.
Among other risks described in this Offering Memorandum, the following issues are particularly associated with investments in preferred and other senior securities.
Deferral and Omission of Distributions. Preferred and other senior securities may include features permitting or requiring the issuer to defer or omit distributions. Among other things, such deferral or omission may result in adverse tax consequences for a Portfolio.
Limited Voting Rights. Preferred and other senior securities generally do not have voting rights with respect to the issuer unless dividends have been in arrears for certain specified periods of time.
In the future, preferred or other senior securities may be offered with features different from those described above, and as such, may entail different risks. Over longer periods of time, certain types of preferred or other senior securities may become more scarce or less liquid as a result of legislative changes. Such events may result in losses to a Portfolio as the prices of securities it holds may be negatively affected. Revisions to bank capital requirements by international regulatory bodies, to the extent they are adopted in the United States, may also negatively impact the market for certain preferred or senior securities.
While some countries or companies may be regarded as favorable investments, pure fixed income opportunities may be unattractive or limited due to insufficient supply, or legal or technical restrictions. In such cases, subject to its applicable investment restrictions, a Portfolio may consider convertible securities or equity securities to gain exposure to such investments. At times, in connection with the restructuring of a preferred security or Fixed Income Instrument either outside of bankruptcy court or in the context of bankruptcy court proceedings, a Portfolio may determine or be required to accept equity securities, such as common stocks, in exchange for all or a portion of a preferred security or Fixed Income Instrument. Depending upon, among other things, PIMCO’s evaluation of the potential value of such securities in relation to the price that could be obtained by a Portfolio at any given time upon sale thereof, a Portfolio may determine to hold such securities in its portfolio. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities. The market price of equity securities owned by a Portfolio may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably.
Equity securities may decline in value due to factors affecting equity securities markets generally or particular industries represented in those markets. The value of an equity security may also decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Securities
Certain Portfolios may invest in certain securities and instruments that are economically tied to foreign (non-U.S.) countries. PIMCO generally considers an instrument to be economically tied to a non-U.S. country if the issuer is a foreign government (or any political subdivision, agency, authority or instrumentality of such government), or if the issuer is organized under the laws of a non-U.S. country. A Portfolio’s investments in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may include American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and similar securities that represent interests in a non-U.S. company’s securities that have been deposited with a bank or trust and that trade on a U.S. exchange or over-the-counter. ADRs, EDRs and GDRs may be less liquid or may trade at a different price than the underlying securities of the issuer. In the case of money market instruments other than commercial paper and certificates of deposit, such instruments will be considered economically tied to a non-U.S. country if the issuer of such money market instrument is organized under the laws of a non-U.S. country. In the case of commercial paper and certificates of deposit, such instruments will be considered economically tied to a non-U.S. country if the “country of exposure” of such instrument is a non-U.S. country, as determined by the criteria set forth below. With respect to derivative instruments, PIMCO generally considers such instruments to be economically tied to non-U.S. countries if the underlying assets are foreign currencies (or baskets or indexes of such currencies), or instruments or securities that are issued by foreign governments or issuers organized under the laws of a non-U.S. country (or if the underlying assets are money market instruments other than commercial paper and certificates of deposit, if the issuer of such money market instrument is organized under the laws of a non-U.S. country or, in the case of underlying assets that are commercial paper or certificates of deposit, if the “country of exposure” of such money market instrument is a non-U.S. country). A security’s “country of exposure” is determined by PIMCO using certain factors provided by a third-party analytical service provider. The factors are applied in order such that the first factor to result in the assignment of a country determines the “country of exposure.” Both the factors and the order in which they are applied may change in the discretion of PIMCO.

46  Offering Memorandum | Private Account Portfolio Series

Offering Memorandum

The current factors, listed in the order in which they are applied, are: (i) if an asset-backed or other collateralized security, the country in which the collateral backing the security is located; (ii) the “country of risk” of the issuer; (iii) if the security is guaranteed by the government of a country (or any political subdivision, agency, authority or instrumentality of such government), the country of the government or instrumentality providing the guarantee; (iv) the “country of risk” of the issuer’s ultimate parent; or (v) the country where the issuer is organized or incorporated under the laws thereof. “Country of risk” is a separate four-part test determined by the following factors, listed in order of importance: (i) management location; (ii) country of primary listing; (iii) sales or revenue attributable to the country; and (iv) reporting currency of the issuer.
Investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S securities. Investors should consider carefully the substantial risks involved for Portfolios that may invest in securities issued by foreign companies and governments of foreign countries. These risks include: differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; generally higher commission rates on foreign portfolio transactions; the possibility of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation; adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations; market disruptions; the possibility of security suspensions; and political instability. Individual foreign (non-U.S.) economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross domestic product, rates of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources, self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. Other countries’ financial infrastructure or settlement systems may be less developed than those of the United States. The securities markets, values of securities, yields and risks associated with foreign (non-U.S.) securities markets may change independently of each other. Also, foreign (non-U.S.) securities and dividends and interest payable on those securities may be subject to foreign taxes, including taxes withheld from payments on those securities. Foreign (non-U.S.) securities often trade with less frequency and volume than domestic securities and therefore may exhibit greater price volatility.
Investments in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may also involve higher custodial costs than domestic investments and additional transaction costs with respect to foreign currency conversions. Changes in, or uncertainty concerning, foreign exchange rates also will affect the value of securities denominated or quoted in foreign currencies and in some cases could lead to uncertainty regarding the reliability of issuers' financial reporting.
Certain Portfolios also may invest in sovereign debt issued by governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, or other government-related entities. Holders of sovereign debt may be requested to participate in the rescheduling of such debt and to extend further loans to governmental entities. In addition, there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected.
Emerging Market Securities. Certain Portfolios may invest in securities and instruments that are economically tied to developing (or “emerging”) market countries. PIMCO generally considers an instrument to be economically tied to an emerging market country if: the issuer is organized under the laws of an emerging market country; the currency of settlement of the security is a currency of an emerging market country; the security is guaranteed by the government of an emerging market country (or any political subdivision, agency, authority or instrumentality of such government); for an asset-backed or other collateralized security, the country in which the collateral backing the security is located in an emerging market country; or the security’s “country of exposure” is an emerging market country, as determined by the criteria set forth below.With respect to derivative instruments, PIMCO generally considers such instruments to be economically tied to emerging market countries if the underlying assets are currencies of emerging market countries (or baskets or indexes of such currencies), or instruments or securities that are issued or guaranteed by governments of emerging market countries or by entities organized under the laws of emerging market countries or if an instrument’s “country of exposure” is an emerging market country. A security’s “country of exposure” is determined by PIMCO using certain factors provided by a third-party analytical service provider. The factors are applied in order such that the first factor to result in the assignment of a country determines the “country of exposure.” Both the factors and the order in which they are applied may change in the discretion of PIMCO. The current factors, listed in the order in which they are applied, are: (i) if an asset-backed or other collateralized security, the country in which the collateral backing the security is located; (ii) the “country of risk” of the issuer; (iii) if the security is guaranteed by the government of a country (or any political subdivision, agency, authority or instrumentality of such government), the country of the government or instrumentality providing the guarantee; (iv) the “country of risk” of the issuer’s ultimate parent; or (v) the country where the issuer is organized or incorporated under the laws thereof. “Country of risk” is a separate four-part test determined by the following factors, listed in order of importance: (i) management location; (ii) country of primary listing; (iii) sales or revenue attributable to the country; and (iv) reporting currency of the issuer. PIMCO has broad discretion to identify countries that it considers to qualify as emerging markets. In making investments in emerging market securities, a Portfolio emphasizes those countries with relatively low gross national product per capita and with the potential for rapid economic growth.
Emerging market countries are generally located in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Eastern Europe. PIMCO will select the country and currency composition based on its evaluation of relative interest rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, monetary and fiscal policies, trade and current account balances, legal and political developments and any other specific factors it believes to be relevant.
Investing in emerging market securities imposes risks different from, or greater than, risks of investing in domestic securities or in foreign, developed countries. These risks include smaller market capitalization of securities markets, which may suffer periods of relative illiquidity; significant price volatility; restrictions on foreign investment; possible repatriation of investment income and capital. In addition, foreign investors may be required to

July 30, 2021 (as supplemented December 15, 2021) | Offering Memorandum  47

Private Account Portfolio Series

register the proceeds of sales; and future economic or political crises could lead to price controls, forced mergers, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure, nationalization, or creation of government monopolies. The currencies of emerging market countries may experience significant declines against the U.S. dollar, and devaluation may occur subsequent to investments in these currencies by a Portfolio. Many emerging market countries have experienced substantial, and in some periods extremely high, rates of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had, and may continue to have, negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging market countries.
Additional risks of emerging market securities may include: greater social, economic and political uncertainty and instability; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; less governmental supervision and regulation; unavailability of currency hedging techniques; companies that are newly organized and small; differences in auditing and financial reporting standards, which may result in unavailability of material information about issuers; and less developed legal systems. In addition, emerging securities markets may have different clearance and settlement procedures, which may be unable to keep pace with the volume of securities transactions or otherwise make it difficult to engage in such transactions. Settlement problems may cause a Portfolio to miss attractive investment opportunities, hold a portion of its assets in cash pending investment, or be delayed in disposing of a portfolio security. Such a delay could result in possible liability to a purchaser of the security.
Investments in Russia. Certain Portfolios may invest in securities and instruments that are economically tied to Russia. Investments in Russia are subject to various risks, such as, but not limited to, political, economic, legal, market and currency risks, as discussed in the preceding “Emerging Market Securities” subsection and in the “Investments in Russia” sub-section in the Offering Memorandum Supplement. The risks include uncertain political and economic policies, short-term market volatility, poor accounting standards, corruption and crime, an inadequate regulatory system, regional armed conflict and unpredictable taxation. Investments in Russia are particularly subject to the risk that further economic sanctions may be imposed by the United States and/or other countries. Such sanctions – which may impact companies in many sectors, including energy, financial services and defense, among others – may negatively impact the Portfolios’ performance and/or ability to achieve its investment objective. For example, certain investments may be prohibited and/or existing investments may become illiquid (e.g., in the event that transacting in certain existing investments is prohibited), which could cause a Portfolio to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time or price in order to meet shareholder redemptions. The Russian securities market is characterized by limited volume of trading, resulting in difficulty in obtaining accurate prices and trading. The Russian securities market, as compared to U.S. markets, has significant price volatility, less liquidity, a smaller market capitalization and a smaller number of traded securities. There may be little publicly available information about issuers. Settlement, clearing and registration of securities transactions are subject to risks. Prior to the implementation of the National Settlement Depository (“NSD”), a recognized central securities depository, there was no central registration system for equity share registration in Russia, and registration was carried out by either the issuers themselves or by registrars located throughout Russia. Title to Russian equities held through the NSD is now based on the records of the NSD and not the registrars. Although the implementation of the NSD has enhanced the efficiency and transparency of the Russian securities market, issues resulting in loss can still occur. Ownership of securities issued by Russian companies that are not held through depositories such as the NSD may be recorded by companies themselves and by registrars. In such cases, the risk is increased that a Portfolio could lose ownership rights through fraud, negligence or oversight. While applicable Russian regulations impose liability on registrars for losses resulting from their errors, it may be difficult for the Portfolio to enforce any rights it may have against the registrar or issuer of the securities in the event of loss of share registration. In addition, issuers and registrars are still prominent in the validation and approval of documentation requirements for corporate action processing in Russia. Because the documentation requirements and approval criteria vary between registrars and issuers, there remain unclear and inconsistent market standards in the Russian market with respect to the completion and submission of corporate action elections. To the extent that a Portfolio suffers a loss relating to title or corporate actions relating to its portfolio securities, it may be difficult for the Portfolio to enforce its rights or otherwise remedy the loss. Russian securities laws may not recognize foreign nominee accounts held with a custodian bank, and therefore the custodian may be considered the ultimate owner of securities they hold for their clients. Adverse currency exchange rates are a risk and there may be a lack of available currency hedging instruments. Investments in Russia may be subject to the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets. Oil, natural gas, metals, and timber account for a significant portion of Russia’s exports, leaving the country vulnerable to swings in world prices.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Currencies
Direct investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, or receive revenues in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies will be subject to currency risk. Foreign currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. They generally are determined by supply and demand in the foreign exchange markets and the relative merits of investments in different countries, actual or perceived changes in interest rates and other complex factors. Currency exchange rates also can be affected unpredictably by intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) governments or central banks, or by currency controls or political developments. Currencies in which a Portfolio’s assets are denominated may be devalued against the U.S. dollar, resulting in a loss to a Portfolio.
Foreign Currency Transactions. Portfolios that invest in securities denominated in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies may engage in foreign currency transactions on a spot (cash) basis, enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts and invest in foreign currency futures

48  Offering Memorandum | Private Account Portfolio Series

Offering Memorandum

contracts and options on foreign currencies and futures. A forward foreign currency exchange contract, which involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract, reduces a Portfolio’s exposure to changes in the value of the currency it will deliver and increases its exposure to changes in the value of the currency it will receive for the duration of the contract. Certain foreign currency transactions may also be settled in cash rather than the actual delivery of the relevant currency. The effect on the value of a Portfolio is similar to selling securities denominated in one currency and purchasing securities denominated in another currency. A contract to sell a foreign currency would limit any potential gain that might be realized if the value of the hedged currency increases. A Portfolio may enter into these contracts to hedge against foreign exchange risk, to increase exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one currency to another. Suitable hedging transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that a Portfolio will engage in such transactions at any given time or from time to time. Also, such transactions may not be successful and may eliminate any chance for a Portfolio to benefit from favorable fluctuations in relevant foreign currencies. A Portfolio may use one currency (or a basket of currencies) to hedge against adverse changes in the value of another currency (or a basket of currencies) when exchange rates between the two currencies are positively correlated. A Portfolio will segregate or “earmark” assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO (or, as permitted by applicable law, enter into certain offsetting positions) to cover its obligations under forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
Redenomination. Continuing uncertainty as to the status of the euro and the European Monetary Union (the “EMU”) has created significant volatility in currency and financial markets generally. Any partial or complete dissolution of the EMU could have significant adverse effects on currency and financial markets and on the values of a Portfolio’s portfolio investments. If one or more EMU countries were to stop using the euro as its primary currency, a Portfolio’s investments in such countries may be redenominated into a different or newly adopted currency. As a result, the value of those investments could decline significantly and unpredictably. In addition, securities or other investments that are redenominated may be subject to currency risk, liquidity risk and risk of improper valuation to a greater extent than similar investments currently denominated in euros. To the extent a currency used for redenomination purposes is not specified in respect of certain EMU-related investments, or should the euro cease to be used entirely, the currency in which such investments are denominated may be unclear, making such investments particularly difficult to value or dispose of. A Portfolio may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek judicial or other clarification of the denomination or value of such securities.
There can be no assurance that if a Portfolio earns income or capital gains in a non-U.S. country or PIMCO otherwise seeks to withdraw the Portfolio’s investments from a given country, capital controls imposed by such country will not prevent, or cause significant expense in, doing so.
Repurchase Agreements
Each Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, in which a Portfolio purchases a security from a bank or broker-dealer that agrees to repurchase the security at the Portfolio’s cost plus interest within a specified time. If the party agreeing to repurchase should default, the Portfolio will seek to sell the securities which it holds. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements, Dollar Rolls and Other Borrowings
Each Portfolio may enter into reverse repurchase agreements and dollar rolls, subject to the Portfolio’s limitations on borrowings. A reverse repurchase agreement involves the sale of a security by a Portfolio and its agreement to repurchase the instrument at a specified time and price. A dollar roll is similar except that the counterparty is not obligated to return the same securities as those originally sold by the Portfolio but only securities that are “substantially identical.” Reverse repurchase agreements and dollar rolls may be considered borrowing for some purposes. In accordance with current federal securities laws, rules and staff positions, a Portfolio will segregate or “earmark” assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO to cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements and dollar rolls. Reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and other forms of borrowings may create leveraging risk for a Portfolio.
Each Portfolio may borrow money to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act. This means that, in general, a Portfolio may borrow money from banks for any purpose in an amount up to one-third of the Portfolio’s total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities. A Portfolio may also borrow money for temporary administrative purposes in an amount not to exceed 5% of the Portfolio’s total assets. In addition, a Portfolio may borrow certain other PIMCO funds in inter-fund lending transactions to the extent permitted by an exemptive order from the SEC.
Derivatives
Each Portfolio (other than the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II) may, but is not required to, use derivative instruments for risk management purposes or as part of its investment strategies. Generally, derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends upon, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index, and may relate to stocks, bonds, interest rates, spreads between different interest rates, currencies or currency exchange rates, commodities, and related indexes. Examples of derivative instruments include options contracts, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and swap agreements (including, but not limited to, credit default swaps and swaps on exchange-traded

July 30, 2021 (as supplemented December 15, 2021) | Offering Memorandum  49

funds). Each Portfolio may invest some or all of its assets in derivative instruments, subject to a Portfolio’s objective and policies. The Portfolios may sometimes use derivatives as part of a strategy designed to reduce exposure to other risks, such as interest rate or currency risk, or as a substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset. A portfolio manager may decide not to employ any of these strategies and there is no assurance that any derivatives strategy used by a Portfolio will succeed. A description of these and other derivative instruments that a Portfolio may use are described under “Investment Objectives and Policies” in the Offering Memorandum Supplement.
A Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other more traditional investments. Certain derivative transactions may have a leveraging effect on a Portfolio. For example, a small investment in a derivative instrument may have a significant impact on a Portfolio’s exposure to interest rates, currency exchange rates or other investments. As a result, a relatively small price movement in a derivative instrument may cause an immediate and substantial loss or gain. A Portfolio may engage in such transactions regardless of whether a Portfolio owns the asset, instrument or components of the index underlying the derivative instrument. A Portfolio may invest a significant portion of its assets in these types of instruments. If it does, a Portfolio’s investment exposure could far exceed the value of its portfolio securities and its investment performance could be primarily dependent upon securities it does not own. A description of various risks associated with particular derivative instruments is included in “Investment Objectives and Policies” in the Offering Memorandum Supplement. The following provides a more general discussion of important risk factors relating to all derivative instruments that may be used by a Portfolio.
Management Risk.  Derivative products are highly specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk analyses different from those associated with stocks and bonds. The use of a derivative requires an understanding not only of the underlying instrument but also of the derivative itself, without the benefit of observing the performance of the derivative under all possible market conditions.
Credit Risk.  The use of certain derivative instruments involves the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the failure of another party to the contract (usually referred to as a “counterparty”) to make required payments or otherwise comply with the contract’s terms. Additionally, a short position in a credit default swap could result in losses if a Portfolio does not correctly evaluate the creditworthiness of the company on which the credit default swap is based.
Liquidity Risk.  Liquidity risk exists when a particular derivative instrument is difficult to purchase or sell. If a derivative transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is illiquid (as is the case with many privately negotiated derivatives), it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price.
Leverage Risk.  Because many derivatives have a leverage component, adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, reference rate or index could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. When a Portfolio uses derivatives for leverage, investments in the Portfolio will tend to be more volatile, resulting in larger gains or losses in response to market changes. In accordance with current federal securities laws, rules and staff positions, to limit leverage risk, a Portfolio will segregate or “earmark” assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO (or, as permitted by applicable regulation, enter into certain offsetting positions) to cover its obligations under derivative instruments.
Lack of Availability.  Because the markets for certain derivative instruments (including markets located in foreign countries) are relatively new and still developing, suitable derivatives transactions may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Upon the expiration of a particular contract, a portfolio manager may wish to retain a Portfolio’s position in the derivative instrument by entering into a similar contract, but may be unable to do so if the counterparty to the original contract is unwilling to enter into the new contract and no other suitable counterparty can be found. There is no assurance that a Portfolio will engage in derivatives transactions at any time or from time to time. A Portfolio’s ability to use derivatives may also be limited by certain regulatory and tax considerations.
Market and Other Risks.  Like most other investments, derivative instruments are subject to the risk that the market value of the instrument will change in a way detrimental to a Portfolio’s interest. If a portfolio manager incorrectly forecasts the values of securities, currencies or interest rates or other economic factors in using derivatives for a Portfolio, the Portfolio might have been in a better position if it had not entered into the transaction at all. While some strategies involving derivative instruments can reduce the risk of loss, they can also reduce the opportunity for gain or even result in losses by offsetting favorable price movements in other Portfolio investments. A Portfolio may also have to buy or sell a security at a disadvantageous time or price because a Portfolio is legally required to maintain offsetting positions or asset coverage in connection with certain derivatives transactions. The regulation of the derivatives markets has increased over the past several years, and additional future regulation of the derivatives markets may make derivatives more costly, may limit the availability or reduce the liquidity of derivatives, or may otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of derivatives. Any such adverse future developments could impair the effectiveness or raise the costs of a Portfolio’s derivative transactions, or impede the employment of a Portfolio’s derivatives strategies, or adversely affect a Portfolio’s performance.
Other risks in using derivatives include the risk of mispricing and improper valuation of derivatives. The regulation of the derivatives markets has increased over the past several years, and additional future regulation of the derivatives markets may make derivatives more costly, may limit the availability or reduce the liquidity of derivatives, or may otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of derivatives. Any such adverse future

developments could impair the effectiveness or raise the costs of a Portfolio’s derivative transactions, or impede the employment of a Portfolio’s derivatives strategies, or adversely affect a Portfolio’s performance. Many derivatives, in particular privately negotiated derivatives, are complex and often valued subjectively. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to a Portfolio. Also, the value of derivatives may not correlate perfectly, or at all, with the value of the assets, reference rates or indexes they are designed to closely track. For example, a swap agreement on an exchange-traded fund would not correlate perfectly with the index upon which the exchange-traded fund is based because the fund’s return is net of fees and expenses. In addition, a Portfolio’s use of derivatives may cause a Portfolio to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if a Portfolio had not used such instruments.
Investments in a Wholly Owned Subsidiary
It is expected that the Subsidiary will invest primarily in Japanese government bonds, finance bills and treasury bills. Although the  PIMCO International Portfolio may purchase these debt instruments directly, the Portfolio will likely gain exposure to these instruments indirectly by investing in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary may also invest in derivatives, forward contracts and other Fixed Income Instruments. To the extent that the Portfolio invests in the Subsidiary, it may be subject to the risks associated with those securities and instruments, which are discussed elsewhere in this offering memorandum.
While the Subsidiary may be considered similar to an investment company, it is not registered under the 1940 Act and, unless otherwise noted in this Offering Memorandum, is not subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. In addition, changes in the laws of the United States and/or Japan could result in the inability of the Portfolio and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum Supplement and could adversely affect the Portfolio. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or Japan could adversely affect the performance of the Portfolio and/or the Subsidiary and result in the Portfolio underperforming its benchmark index(es).
Exchange-Traded Notes (ETNs)
ETNs are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities whose returns are linked to the performance of a particular market benchmark or strategy minus applicable fees. ETNs are traded on an exchange (e.g., the NYSE) during normal trading hours. However, investors can also hold the ETN until maturity. At maturity, the issuer pays to the investor a cash amount equal to the principal amount, subject to the day’s market benchmark or strategy factor.
ETNs do not make periodic coupon payments or provide principal protection. ETNs are subject to credit risk and the value of the ETN may drop due to a downgrade in the issuer’s credit rating, despite the underlying market benchmark or strategy remaining unchanged. The value of an ETN may also be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in underlying assets, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer’s credit rating, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced underlying asset. When a Portfolio invests in ETNs, it will bear its proportionate share of any fees and expenses borne by the ETN. A Portfolio’s decision to sell its ETN holdings may be limited by the availability of a secondary market. ETNs are also subject to tax risk. The IRS and Congress are considering proposals that would change the timing and character of income and gains from ETNs. There may be times when an ETN share trades at a premium or discount to its market benchmark or strategy.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
REITs are pooled investment vehicles that own, and usually operate, income-producing real estate. Some REITs also finance real estate. If a REIT meets certain requirements, including distributing to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income (other than net capital gains), then it is not taxed on the income distributed to shareholders. Therefore, REITs tend to pay higher dividends than other issuers.
REITs can be divided into three basic types: Equity REITs, Mortgage REITs and Hybrid REITs. Equity REITs invest the majority of their assets directly in real property. They derive their income primarily from rents received and any profits on the sale of their properties. Mortgage REITs invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages and derive most of their income from mortgage interest payments. As its name suggests, Hybrid REITs combine characteristics of both Equity REITs and Mortgage REITs.
An investment in a REIT, or in a real estate linked derivative instrument linked to the value of a REIT, is subject to the risks that impact the value of the underlying properties of the REIT. These risks include loss to casualty or condemnation, and changes in supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. Other factors that may adversely affect REITs include poor performance by management of the REIT, changes to the tax laws, or failure by the REIT to qualify for tax-free distribution of income. REITs are also subject to default by borrowers and self-liquidation, and are heavily dependent on cash flow. Some REITs lack diversification because they invest in a limited number of properties, a narrow geographic area, or a single type of property. Mortgage REITs may be impacted by the quality of the credit extended.

Private Account Portfolio Series

Delayed Funding Loans and Revolving Credit Facilities
Each Portfolio may also enter into, or acquire participations in, delayed funding loans and revolving credit facilities, in which a lender agrees to make loans up to a maximum amount upon demand by the borrower during a specified term. These commitments may have the effect of requiring a Portfolio to increase its investment in a company at a time when it might not otherwise decide to do so (including at a time when the company’s financial condition makes it unlikely that such amounts will be repaid). In accordance with current federal securities laws, rules and staff positions, to the extent that a Portfolio is committed to advance additional funds, it will segregate or “earmark” assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO in an amount sufficient to meet such commitments. Delayed funding loans and revolving credit facilities are subject to credit, interest rate and liquidity risk and the risks of being a lender.
When-Issued, Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment Transactions
Each Portfolio may purchase or sell securities that it is eligible to purchase or sell on a when-issued basis, may purchase and sell such securities for delayed delivery and may make contracts to purchase or sell such securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond normal settlement time (forward commitments). When-issued transactions, delayed delivery purchases and forward commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the securities declines prior to the settlement date. This risk is in addition to the risk that a Portfolio’s other assets will decline in value. Therefore, these transactions may result in a form of leverage and increase a Portfolio’s overall investment exposure. Typically, no income accrues on securities a Portfolio has committed to purchase prior to the time delivery of the securities is made, although a Portfolio may earn income on securities it has segregated or “earmarked” to cover these positions. When a Portfolio has sold a security on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains or losses with respect to the security. If the other party to a transaction fails to pay for the securities, a Portfolio could suffer a loss. Additionally, when selling a security on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis without owning the security, a Portfolio will incur a loss if the security’s price appreciates in value such that the security’s price is above the agreed-upon price on the settlement date.
Investment in Other Investment Companies
Except as described below, each Portfolio may invest in securities of other investment companies, such as open-end or closed-end management investment companies, including exchange traded funds and business development companies, or in pooled accounts, or other unregistered accounts or investment vehicles to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations thereunder and any exemptive relief therefrom. The limitation in the foregoing sentence shall not apply to the  PIMCO International Portfolio’s investment in the Subsidiary. The Portfolios may invest in other investment companies to gain broad market or sector exposure, including during periods when it has large amounts of uninvested cash or when PIMCO believes share prices of other investment companies offer attractive values. As a shareholder of an investment company or other pooled vehicle, the Portfolios  may indirectly bear investment advisory fees, supervisory and administrative fees, service fees and other fees which are in addition to the fees a Portfolio pays its service providers. Each Portfolio may invest in certain money market funds and/or short-term bond funds (“Central Funds”), to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, the rules thereunder or exemptive relief therefrom. The Central Funds are registered investment companies created for use solely by the series of the Trust, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PIMCO ETF Trust, PIMCO Equity Series and PIMCO Equity Series VIT, and certain other series of registered investment companies advised by PIMCO, in connection with their cash management activities. The main investments of the Central Funds are money market instruments and short maturity Fixed Income Instruments. The Central Funds may incur expenses related to their investment activities, but do not pay investment advisory or supervisory and administrative fees to PIMCO.
Subject to the restrictions and limitations of the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder and any exemptive relief therefrom, each Portfolio may, in the future, elect to pursue its investment objective either by investing directly in securities, or by investing in one or more underlying investment vehicles or companies that have substantially similar investment objectives and policies as the Portfolio.
Short Sales
A Portfolio may make short sales as part of its overall portfolio management strategies or to offset a potential decline in value of a security. A short sale involves the sale of a security that is borrowed from a broker or other institution to complete the sale. Short sales expose a Portfolio to the risk that it will be required to acquire, convert or exchange securities to replace the borrowed securities (also known as “covering” the short position) at a time when the securities sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Portfolio. In accordance with current federal securities laws, rules and staff positions, when making a short sale (other than a “short sale against the box”), a Portfolio must segregate or “earmark” assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its position in a permissible manner. A short sale is “against the box” to the extent that a Portfolio contemporaneously owns, or has the right to obtain at no added cost, securities identical to those sold short. A Portfolio may engage in short selling to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and rules and interpretations thereunder and other federal securities laws. To the extent a Portfolio engages in short selling in foreign (non-U.S.) jurisdictions, a Portfolio will do so to the extent permitted by the laws and regulations of such jurisdiction.

Illiquid Investments
Each Portfolio may invest up to 15% of its net assets (taken at the time of investment) in illiquid investments that are assets. Certain illiquid investments may require pricing at fair value as determined in good faith under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. A portfolio manager may be subject to significant delays in disposing of illiquid investments and transactions in illiquid investments may entail registration expenses and other transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid investments. The term “illiquid investments” for this purpose means investments that a Portfolio reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. Restricted securities, i.e., securities subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, may be illiquid. However, some restricted securities (such as securities issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and certain commercial paper) may be treated as liquid (i.e., classified by the Portfolio in a liquidity category other than “illiquid” pursuant to a Portfolio's liquidity risk management procedures), although they may be relatively less liquid than registered securities traded on established secondary markets. Additional discussion of illiquid investments and related regulatory limits and requirements is available under “Investment Objectives and Policies” in the Offering Memorandum Supplement.
Loans of Portfolio Securities
For the purpose of achieving income, each Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers, and other financial institutions provided that a number of conditions are satisfied, including that the loan is fully collateralized. Please see “Investment Objectives and Policies” in the Offering Memorandum Supplement for details. When a Portfolio lends portfolio securities, its investment performance will continue to reflect changes in the value of the securities loaned, and the Portfolio will also receive a fee or interest on the collateral. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in the collateral or delay in recovery of the collateral if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent. A Portfolio may pay lending fees to a party arranging the loan, which may be an affiliate of the Portfolio. Cash collateral received by a Portfolio in securities lending transactions may be invested in short-term liquid fixed income instruments or in money market or short-term mutual funds, or similar investment vehicles, including affiliated money market or short-term mutual funds. A Portfolio bears the risk of such investments.
Temporary Defensive Positions
For temporary defensive purposes, each Portfolio may invest without limit in U.S. debt securities, including taxable securities and short-term money market securities, when PIMCO deems it appropriate to do so. When a Portfolio engages in such strategies, it may not achieve its investment objective.
From time to time, as the prevailing market and interest rate environments warrant, and at the discretion of its portfolio manager, some portion of a Portfolio’s total net assets may be uninvested. In such cases, Portfolio assets will be held in cash in a Portfolio’s custody account. Cash assets are generally not income-generating and would impact a Portfolio’s performance.
Changes in Investment Objectives and Policies
The investment objective of each Portfolio except the PIMCO Long Duration Credit Bond Portfolio, PIMCO Low Duration Portfolio, PIMCO Moderate Duration Portfolio and PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio II, is fundamental and may not be changed without shareholder approval. Unless otherwise stated, all other investment policies of the Portfolios may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
Percentage Investment Limitations
Unless otherwise stated, all percentage limitations on Portfolio investments listed in this Offering Memorandum will apply at the time of investment. The Portfolios  would not violate these limitations unless an excess or deficiency occurs or exists immediately after and as a result of an investment.
Credit Ratings and Unrated Securities
Rating agencies are private services that provide ratings of the credit quality of fixed income securities, including convertible securities. Appendix A to this Offering Memorandum describes the various ratings assigned to fixed income securities by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. Ratings assigned by a rating agency are not absolute standards of credit quality and do not evaluate market risks. Rating agencies may fail to make timely changes in credit ratings and an issuer’s current financial condition may be better or worse than a rating indicates. A Portfolio will not necessarily sell a security when its rating is reduced below its rating at the time of purchase. The ratings of a fixed income security may change over time. Moody’s, S&P and Fitch monitor and evaluate the ratings assigned to securities on an ongoing basis. As a result, debt instruments held by a Portfolio could receive a higher rating or a lower rating during the period in which they are held by a Portfolio. PIMCO does not rely solely on credit ratings, and develops its own analysis of issuer credit quality.
Portfolios may purchase unrated securities (which are not rated by a rating agency) if PIMCO determines, in its sole discretion, that the security is of comparable quality to a rated security that the Portfolios may purchase. In making ratings determinations, PIMCO may take into account different factors than those taken into account by rating agencies, and PIMCO’s rating of a security may differ from the rating that a rating agency may have

Private Account Portfolio Series

given the same security. Unrated securities may be less liquid than comparable rated securities and involve the risk that the portfolio manager may not accurately evaluate the security’s comparative credit rating. Analysis of the creditworthiness of issuers of high yield securities may be more complex than for issuers of higher-quality fixed income securities. To the extent that a Portfolio invests in high yield and/or unrated securities, the Portfolio's success in achieving its investment objective may depend more heavily on the portfolio managers' creditworthiness analysis than if the Portfolio invested exclusively in higher-quality and higher-rated securities.
Other Investments and Techniques
The Portfolios may invest in other types of securities and use a variety of investment techniques and strategies that are not described in this Offering Memorandum. These securities and techniques may subject the Portfolios to additional risks. Please see the Offering Memorandum Supplement for additional information about the securities and investment techniques described in this Offering Memorandum and about additional securities and techniques that may be used by the Portfolios.
Cyber Security
As the use of technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the Portfolios have become potentially more susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional cyber events from outside threat actors or internal resources that may, among other things, cause a Portfolio to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption and/or destruction or lose operational capacity, result in the unauthorized release or other misuse of confidential information, or otherwise disrupt normal business operations. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to a Portfolio’s digital information systems (e.g., through “hacking” or malicious software coding) and may come from multiple sources, including outside attacks such as denial-of-service attacks (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users) or cyber extortion, including exfiltration of data held for ransom and/or “ransomware” attacks that renders systems inoperable until ransom is paid, or insider actions. In addition, cyber security breaches involving a Portfolio’s third party service providers (including but not limited to advisers, sub-advisers, administrators, transfer agents, custodians, vendors, suppliers, distributors and other third parties), trading counterparties or issuers in which a Portfolio invests can also subject a Portfolio to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches or extortion of company data. Moreover, cyber security breaches involving trading counterparties or issuers in which a Portfolio invests could adversely impact such counterparties or issuers and cause the Portfolio’s investment to lose value.
Cyber security failures or breaches may result in financial losses to a Portfolio and its shareholders. These failures or breaches may also result in disruptions to business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses; interference with a Portfolio’s ability to calculate its NAV, process shareholder transactions or otherwise transact business with shareholders; impediments to trading; violations of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory fines; penalties; third party claims in litigation; reputational damage; reimbursement or other compensation costs; additional compliance and cyber security risk management costs and other adverse consequences. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future.
Like with operational risk in general, the Portfolios have established business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security. However, there are inherent limitations in these plans and systems, including that certain risks may not have been identified, in large part because different or unknown threats may emerge in the future. As such, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Portfolios do not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers in which a Portfolio may invest, trading counterparties or third party service providers to the Portfolios. Such entities have experienced cyber attacks and other attempts to gain unauthorized access to systems from time to time, and there is no guarantee that efforts to prevent or mitigate the effects of such attacks or other attempts to gain unauthorized access will be successful. There is also a risk that cyber security breaches may not be detected. The Portfolios and their shareholders may suffer losses as a result of a cyber security breach related to the Portfolios, their service providers, trading counterparties or the issuers in which a Portfolio invests.

Financial Highlights
The financial highlights table is intended to help a shareholder understand each Portfolio’s financial performance for the last five fiscal years or, if shorter, the period since the Portfolio commenced operations. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Portfolio share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in shares of the Portfolio (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Portfolios’ independent registered public accounting firm. Its report, along with full financial statements, appears in the Trust’s Annual Report, which is available upon request.

Appendix A
Description of Securities Ratings
The Portfolio’s investments may range in quality from securities rated in the lowest category in which the Portfolio is permitted to invest to securities rated in the highest category (as rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or Fitch, or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality). The percentage of the Portfolio’s assets invested in securities in a particular rating category will vary. The following terms are generally used to describe the credit quality of fixed income securities:
High Quality Debt Securities  are those rated in one of the two highest rating categories (the highest category for commercial paper) or, if unrated, deemed comparable by PIMCO.
Investment Grade Debt Securities  are those rated in one of the four highest rating categories, or if unrated deemed comparable by PIMCO.
Below Investment Grade High Yield Securities (“Junk Bonds”),  are those rated lower than Baa by Moody’s, BBB by Standard & Poor’s or Fitch, and comparable securities. They are deemed predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to repay principal and interest.
The following is a description of Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch’s rating categories applicable to fixed income securities.
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.
Global Long-Term Rating Scale
Ratings assigned on Moody’s global long-term rating scales are forward-looking opinions of the relative credit risks of financial obligations issued by non-financial corporates, financial institutions, structured finance vehicles, project finance vehicles, and public sector entities. Long-term ratings are assigned to issuers or obligations with an original maturity of one year or more and reflect both on the likelihood of a default or impairment on contractual financial obligations and the expected financial loss suffered in the event of default or impairment.
Aaa: Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, subject to the lowest level of credit risk.
Aa: Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.
A: Obligations rated A are judged to be upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.
Baa: Obligations rated Baa are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.
Ba: Obligations rated Ba are judged to be speculative and are subject to substantial credit risk.
B: Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.
Caa: Obligations rated Caa are judged to be speculative of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.
Ca: Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.
C: Obligations rated C are the lowest rated and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.
Moody’s appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. Additionally, a “(hyb)” indicator is appended to all ratings of hybrid securities issued by banks, insurers, finance companies, and securities firms.*
* By their terms, hybrid securities allow for the omission of scheduled dividends, interest, or principal payments, which can potentially result in impairment if such an omission occurs. Hybrid securities may also be subject to contractually allowable write-downs of principal that could result in impairment. Together with the hybrid indicator, the long-term obligation rating assigned to a hybrid security is an expression of the relative credit risk associated with that security.
Medium-Term Note Program Ratings
Moody’s assigns provisional ratings to medium-term note (MTN) programs and definitive ratings to the individual debt securities issued from them (referred to as drawdowns or notes).
MTN program ratings are intended to reflect the ratings likely to be assigned to drawdowns issued from the program with the specified priority of claim (e.g., senior or subordinated). To capture the contingent nature of a program rating, Moody’s assigns provisional ratings to MTN programs. A provisional rating is denoted by a (P) in front of the rating.
The rating assigned to a drawdown from a rated MTN or bank/deposit note program is definitive in nature, and may differ from the program rating if the drawdown is exposed to additional credit risks besides the issuer’s default, such as links to the defaults of other issuers, or has other structural features that warrant a different rating. In some circumstances, no rating may be assigned to a drawdown.
Moody’s encourages market participants to contact Moody’s Ratings Desks or visit www.moodys.com directly if they have questions regarding ratings for specific notes issued under a medium-term note program. Unrated notes issued under an MTN program may be assigned an NR (not rated) symbol.
Global Short-Term Rating Scale
Ratings assigned on Moody’s global short-term rating scales are forward-looking opinions of the relative credit risks of financial obligations issued by non-financial corporates, financial institutions, structured finance vehicles, project finance vehicles, and public sector entities. Short-term ratings are assigned to obligations with an original maturity of thirteen months or less and reflect both on the likelihood of a default or impairment on contractual financial obligations and the expected financial loss suffered in the event of default or impairment.
Moody’s employs the following designations to indicate the relative repayment ability of rated issuers:

A-1  Offering Memorandum | Private Account Portfolio Series

Offering Memorandum

P-1: Ratings of Prime-1 reflect a superior ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
P-2: Ratings of Prime-2 reflect a strong ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
P-3: Ratings of Prime-3 reflect an acceptable ability to repay short-term obligations.
NP: Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Not Prime do not fall within any of the Prime rating categories.
National Scale Long-Term Ratings
Moody’s long-term National Scale Ratings (NSRs) are opinions of the relative creditworthiness of issuers and financial obligations within a particular country. NSRs are not designed to be compared among countries; rather, they address relative credit risk within a given country. Moody’s assigns national scale ratings in certain local capital markets in which investors have found the global rating scale provides inadequate differentiation among credits or is inconsistent with a rating scale already in common use in the country.
In each specific country, the last two characters of the rating indicate the country in which the issuer is located or the financial obligation was issued (e.g., Aaa.ke for Kenya).
Aaa.n: Issuers or issues rated Aaa.n demonstrate the strongest creditworthiness relative to other domestic issuers and issuances.
Aa.n: Issuers or issues rated Aa.n demonstrate very strong creditworthiness relative to other domestic issuers and issuances.
A.n: Issuers or issues rated A.n present above-average creditworthiness relative to other domestic issuers and issuances.
Baa.n: Issuers or issues rated Baa.n represent average creditworthiness relative to other domestic issuers and issuances.
Ba.n: Issuers or issues rated Ba.n demonstrate below-average creditworthiness relative to other domestic issuers and issuances.
B.n: Issuers or issues rated B.n demonstrate weak creditworthiness relative to other domestic issuers and issuances.
Caa.n: Issuers or issues rated Caa.n demonstrate very weak creditworthiness relative to other domestic issuers and issuances.
Ca.n: Issuers or issues rated Ca.n demonstrate extremely weak creditworthiness relative to other domestic issuers and issuances.
C.n: Issuers or issues rated C.n demonstrate the weakest creditworthiness relative to other domestic issuers and issuances.
Moody’s appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category.
National Scale Short-Term Ratings
Moody’s short-term NSRs are opinions of the ability of issuers or issuances in a given country, relative to other domestic issuers or issuances, to repay debt obligations that have an original maturity not
exceeding thirteen months. Short-term NSRs in one country should not be compared with short-term NSRs in another country, or with Moody’s global ratings. There are four categories of short-term national scale ratings, generically denoted N-1 through N-4 as defined below.
In each specific country, the first two letters indicate the country in which the issuer is located (e.g., KE-1 through KE-4 for Kenya).
N-1: N-1 issuers or issuances represent the strongest likelihood of repayment of short-term senior unsecured debt obligations relative to other domestic issuers.
N-2: N-2 issuers or issuances represent an above average likelihood of repayment of short-term senior unsecured debt obligations relative to other domestic issuers.
N-3: N-3 issuers or issuances represent an average likelihood of repayment of short-term senior unsecured debt obligations relative to other domestic issuers.
N-4: N-4 issuers or issuances represent a below average likelihood of repayment of short-term senior unsecured debt obligations relative to other domestic issuers.
The short-term rating symbols P-1.za, P-2.za, P-3.za and NP.za are used in South Africa.
Short-Term Obligation Ratings
The Municipal Investment Grade (MIG) scale is used for US municipal cash flow notes, bond anticipation notes and certain other short-term obligations, which typically mature in three years or less. Under certain circumstances, the MIG scale is used for bond anticipation notes with maturities of up to five years.
MIG 1: This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.
MIG 2: This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.
MIG 3: This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.
SG: This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.
Demand Obligation Ratings
In the case of variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs), a two-component rating is assigned. The components are a long-term rating and a short-term demand obligation rating. The long-term rating addresses the issuer’s ability to meet scheduled principal and interest payments. The short-term demand obligation rating addresses the ability of the issuer or the liquidity provider to make payments associated with the purchase-price-upon-demand feature (“demand feature”) of the VRDO. The short-term demand obligation rating uses the Variable Municipal Investment Grade (VMIG) scale.

July 30, 2021 (as supplemented December 15, 2021) | Offering Memorandum  A-2

Private Account Portfolio Series

VMIG 1: This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by the superior short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.
VMIG 2: This designation denotes strong credit quality. Good protection is afforded by the strong short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.
VMIG 3: This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Adequate protection is afforded by the satisfactory short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.
SG: This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Demand features rated in this category may be supported by a liquidity provider that does not have a sufficiently strong short-term rating or may lack the structural or legal protections necessary to ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings
Issue credit ratings are based, in varying degrees, on S&P Global Ratings’ (“S&P”) analysis of the following considerations:
Likelihood of payment—capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet its financial commitments on an obligation in accordance with the terms of the obligation;
Nature and provisions of the financial obligation and the promise S&P imputes; and
Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the financial obligation in the event of a bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors’ rights.
Issue ratings are an assessment of default risk, but may incorporate an assessment of relative seniority or ultimate recovery in the event of default. Junior obligations are typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect lower priority in bankruptcy, as noted above. (Such differentiation may apply when an entity has both senior and subordinated obligations, secured and unsecured obligations, or operating company and holding company obligations.)
Investment Grade
AAA: An obligation rated ‘AAA’ has the highest rating assigned by S&P. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is extremely strong.
AA: An obligation rated ‘AA’ differs from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is very strong.
A: An obligation rated ‘A’ is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is still strong.
BBB: An obligation rated ‘BBB’ exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
Speculative Grade
Obligations rated ‘BB’, ‘B’, ‘CCC’, ‘CC’, and ‘C’ are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. ‘BB’ indicates the least degree of speculation and ‘C’ the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposure to adverse conditions.
BB: An obligation rated ‘BB’ is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions that could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
B: An obligation rated ‘B’ is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated ‘BB’, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
CCC: An obligation rated ‘CCC’ is currently vulnerable to nonpayment, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
CC: An obligation rated ‘CC’ is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The ‘CC’ rating is used when a default has not yet occurred, but S&P expects default to be a virtual certainty, regardless of the anticipated time to default.
C: An obligation rated ‘C’ is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment, and the obligation is expected to have lower relative seniority or lower ultimate recovery compared with obligations that are rated higher.
D: An obligation rated ‘D’ is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the ‘D’ rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made within five business days in the absence of a stated grace period or within the earlier of the stated grace period or 30 calendar days. The ‘D’ rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. A rating on an obligation is lowered to ‘D’ if it is subject to a distressed debt restructuring.
NR: This indicates that a rating has not been assigned or is no longer assigned.
Plus (+) or minus (-): The ratings from ‘AA’ to ‘CCC’ may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories.

A-3  Offering Memorandum | Private Account Portfolio Series

Offering Memorandum

Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings
A-1: A short-term obligation rated ‘A-1’ is rated in the highest category by S&P. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitments on these obligations is extremely strong.
A-2: A short-term obligation rated ‘A-2’ is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is satisfactory.
A-3: A short-term obligation rated ‘A-3’ exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken an obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
B: A short-term obligation rated ‘B’ is regarded as vulnerable and has significant speculative characteristics. The obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments; however, it faces major ongoing uncertainties that could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments.
C: A short-term obligation rated ‘C’ is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
D: A short-term obligation rated ‘D’ is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the ‘D’ rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made within any stated grace period. However, any stated grace period longer than five business days will be treated as five business days. The ‘D’ rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. A rating on an obligation is lowered to ‘D’ if it is subject to a distressed debt restructuring.
Dual Ratings: Dual ratings may be assigned to debt issues that have a put option or demand feature. The first component of the rating addresses the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest as due, and the second component of the rating addresses only the demand feature. The first component of the rating can relate to either a short-term or long-term transaction and accordingly use either short-term or long-term rating symbols. The second component of the rating relates to the put option and is assigned a short-term rating symbol (for example, ‘AAA/A-1+‘ or ‘A-1+/ A-1’). With U.S. municipal short-term demand debt, the U.S. municipal short-term note rating symbols are used for the first component of the rating (for example, ‘SP-1+/A-1+‘).
Active Qualifiers
S&P uses the following qualifiers that limit the scope of a rating. The structure of the transaction can require the use of a qualifier such as a ‘p’ qualifier, which indicates the rating addresses the principal portion of the obligation only. A qualifier appears as a suffix and is part of the rating.
L: Ratings qualified with ‘L’ apply only to amounts invested up to federal deposit insurance limits.
p: This suffix is used for issues in which the credit factors, the terms, or both, that determine the likelihood of receipt of payment of principal are different from the credit factors, terms or both that determine the likelihood of receipt of interest on the obligation. The ‘p’ suffix indicates that the rating addresses the principal portion of the obligation only and that the interest is not rated.
prelim: Preliminary ratings, with the ‘prelim’ suffix, may be assigned to obligors or obligations, including financial programs, in the circumstances described below. Assignment of a final rating is conditional on the receipt by S&P of appropriate documentation. S&P reserves the right not to issue a final rating. Moreover, if a final rating is issued, it may differ from the preliminary rating.
Preliminary ratings may be assigned to obligations, most commonly structured and project finance issues, pending receipt of final documentation and legal opinions.
Preliminary ratings may be assigned to obligations that will likely be issued upon the obligor’s emergence from bankruptcy or similar reorganization, based on late-stage reorganization plans, documentation and discussions with the obligor. Preliminary ratings may also be assigned to the obligors. These ratings consider the anticipated general credit quality of the reorganized or post-bankruptcy issuer as well as attributes of the anticipated obligation(s).
Preliminary ratings may be assigned to entities that are being formed or that are in the process of being independently established when, in S&P’s opinion, documentation is close to final. Preliminary ratings may also be assigned to the obligations of these entities.
Preliminary ratings may be assigned when a previously unrated entity is undergoing a well-formulated restructuring, recapitalization, significant financing or other transformative event, generally at the point that investor or lender commitments are invited. The preliminary rating may be assigned to the entity and to its proposed obligation(s). These preliminary ratings consider the anticipated general credit quality of the obligor, as well as attributes of the anticipated obligation(s), assuming successful completion of the transformative event. Should the transformative event not occur, S&P would likely withdraw these preliminary ratings.
A preliminary recovery rating may be assigned to an obligation that has a preliminary issue credit rating.

t: This symbol indicates termination structures that are designed to honor their contracts to full maturity or, should certain events occur, to terminate and cash settle all their contracts before their final maturity date.
cir: This symbol indicates a Counterparty Instrument Rating (CIR), which is a forward-looking opinion about the creditworthiness of an issuer in a securitization structure with respect to a specific financial obligation to a counterparty (including interest rate swaps, currency swaps, and liquidity facilities). The CIR is determined on an ultimate payment basis; these opinions do not take into account timeliness of payment.
Inactive Qualifiers (no longer applied or outstanding)
*:This symbol indicated that the rating was contingent upon S&P receipt of an executed copy of the escrow agreement or closing documentation confirming investments and cash flows. Discontinued use in August 1998.
c: This qualifier was used to provide additional information to investors that the bank may terminate its obligation to purchase tendered bonds if the long-term credit rating of the issuer was lowered to below an investment-grade level and/or the issuer’s bonds were deemed taxable. Discontinued use in January 2001.
G: The letter ‘G’ followed the rating symbol when a fund’s portfolio consisted primarily of direct U.S. government securities.
pi: This qualifier was used to indicate ratings that were based on an analysis of an issuer’s published financial information, as well as additional information in the public domain. Such ratings did not, however, reflect in-depth meetings with an issuer’s management and therefore, could have been based on less comprehensive information than ratings without a ‘pi’ suffix. Discontinued use as of December 2014 and as of August 2015 for Lloyd’s Syndicate Assessments.
pr: The letters ‘pr’ indicate that the rating was provisional. A provisional rating assumed the successful completion of a project financed by the debt being rated and indicates that payment of debt service requirements was largely or entirely dependent upon the successful, timely completion of the project. This rating, however, while addressing credit quality subsequent to completion of the project, made no comment on the likelihood of or the risk of default upon failure of such completion.
q: A ‘q’ subscript indicates that the rating is based solely on quantitative analysis of publicly available information. Discontinued use in April 2001.
r: The ‘r’ modifier was assigned to securities containing extraordinary risks, particularly market risks, that are not covered in the credit rating. The absence of an ‘r’ modifier should not be taken as an indication that an obligation would not exhibit extraordinary non-credit related risks. S&P discontinued the use of the ‘r’ modifier for most obligations in June 2000 and for the balance of obligations (mainly structured finance transactions) in November 2002.
Fitch Ratings
Long-Term Credit Ratings
Investment Grade
Rated entities in a number of sectors, including financial and non-financial corporations, sovereigns, insurance companies and certain sectors within public finance, are generally assigned Issuer Default Ratings (“IDRs”). IDRs are also assigned to certain entities or enterprises in global infrastructure, project finance, and public finance. IDRs opine on an entity’s relative vulnerability to default (including by way of a distressed debt exchange) on financial obligations. The threshold default risk addressed by the IDR is generally that of the financial obligations whose non-payment would best reflect the uncured failure of that entity. As such, IDRs also address relative vulnerability to bankruptcy, administrative receivership or similar concepts.
In aggregate, IDRs provide an ordinal ranking of issuers based on the agency’s view of their relative vulnerability to default, rather than a prediction of a specific percentage likelihood of default.
AAA: Highest credit quality. ‘AAA’ ratings denote the lowest expectation of default risk. They are assigned only in cases of exceptionally strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
AA: Very high credit quality. ‘AA’ ratings denote expectations of very low default risk. They indicate very strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.
A: High credit quality. ‘A’ ratings denote expectations of low default risk. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.
BBB: Good credit quality. ‘BBB’ ratings indicate that expectations of default risk are currently low. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.
Speculative Grade
BB: Speculative. ‘BB’ ratings indicate an elevated vulnerability to default risk, particularly in the event of adverse changes in business or economic conditions over time; however, business or financial flexibility exists that supports the servicing of financial commitments.
B: Highly speculative. ‘B’ ratings indicate that material default risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are currently being met, however, capacity for continued payment is vulnerable to deterioration in the business and economic environment.
CCC: Substantial credit risk. Default is a real possibility.
CC: Very high levels of credit risk. Default of some kind appears probable.
C: Near default.

A-5  Offering Memorandum | Private Account Portfolio Series

Offering Memorandum

A default or default-like process has begun, or the issuer is in standstill, or for a closed funding vehicle, payment capacity is irrevocably impaired. Conditions that are indicative of a ‘C’ category rating for an issuer include:
a. the issuer has entered into a grace or cure period following non-payment of a material financial obligation;
b. the issuer has entered into a temporary negotiated waiver or standstill agreement following a payment default on a material financial obligation;
c. the formal announcement by the issuer or their agent of a distressed debt exchange;
d. a closed financing vehicle where payment capacity is irrevocably impaired such that it is not expected to pay interest and/or principal in full during the life of the transaction, but where no payment default is imminent
RD: Restricted default. ‘RD’ ratings indicate an issuer that in Fitch Ratings’ opinion has experienced an uncured payment default or distressed debt exchange on a bond, loan or other material financial obligation but which has not entered into bankruptcy filings, administration, receivership, liquidation or other formal winding-up procedure, and which has not otherwise ceased operating. This would include:
i. the selective payment default on a specific class or currency of debt;
ii. the uncured expiry of any applicable grace period, cure period or default forbearance period following a payment default on a bank loan, capital markets security or other material financial obligation;
iii. the extension of multiple waivers or forbearance periods upon a payment default on one or more material financial obligations, either in series or in parallel; ordinary execution of a distressed debt exchange on one or more material financial obligations.
D: Default. ‘D’ ratings indicate an issuer that in Fitch Ratings’ opinion has entered into bankruptcy filings, administration, receivership, liquidation or other formal winding-up procedure or that has otherwise ceased business. Default ratings are not assigned prospectively to entities or their obligations; within this context, non-payment on an instrument that contains a deferral feature or grace period will generally not be considered a default until after the expiration of the deferral or grace period, unless a default is otherwise driven by bankruptcy or other similar circumstance, or by a distressed debt exchange.
In all cases, the assignment of a default rating reflects the agency’s opinion as to the most appropriate rating category consistent with the rest of its universe of ratings, and may differ from the definition of default under the terms of an issuer’s financial obligations or local commercial practice.
The modifiers “+” or “-” may be appended to a rating to denote relative status within major rating categories. For example, the rating category ‘AA’ has three notch-specific rating levels (’AA+‘; ’AA’; ‘AA-’; each a rating level). Such suffixes are not added to ‘AAA’ ratings and ratings below the ‘CCC’ category.
Recovery Ratings
Recovery Ratings are assigned to selected individual securities and obligations, most frequently for individual obligations of corporate finance issuers with IDRs in speculative grade categories.
Among the factors that affect recovery rates for securities are the collateral, the seniority relative to other obligations in the capital structure (where appropriate), and the expected value of the company or underlying collateral in distress.
The Recovery Rating scale is based on the expected relative recovery characteristics of an obligation upon the curing of a default, emergence from insolvency or following the liquidation or termination of the obligor or its associated collateral.
Recovery Ratings are an ordinal scale and do not attempt to precisely predict a given level of recovery. As a guideline in developing the rating assessments, the agency employs broad theoretical recovery bands in its ratings approach based on historical averages and analytical judgment, but actual recoveries for a given security may deviate materially from historical averages.
RR1: Outstanding recovery prospects given default. ‘RR1’ rated securities have characteristics consistent with securities historically recovering 91%-100% of current principal and related interest.
RR2: Superior recovery prospects given default. ‘RR2’ rated securities have characteristics consistent with securities historically recovering 71%-90% of current principal and related interest.
RR3: Good recovery prospects given default. ‘RR3’ rated securities have characteristics consistent with securities historically recovering 51%-70% of current principal and related interest.
RR4: Average recovery prospects given default. ‘RR4’ rated securities have characteristics consistent with securities historically recovering 31%-50% of current principal and related interest.
RR5: Below average recovery prospects given default. ‘RR5’ rated securities have characteristics consistent with securities historically recovering 11%-30% of current principal and related interest.
RR6: Poor recovery prospects given default. ‘RR6’ rated securities have characteristics consistent with securities historically recovering 0%-10% of current principal and related interest.
Short-Term Credit Ratings
A short-term issuer or obligation rating is based in all cases on the short-term vulnerability to default of the rated entity and relates to the capacity to meet financial obligations in accordance with the documentation governing the relevant obligation. Short-term deposit ratings may be adjusted for loss severity. Short-Term Ratings are assigned to obligations whose initial maturity is viewed as “short term” based on market convention. Typically, this means up to 13 months for corporate, sovereign, and structured obligations, and up to 36 months for obligations in U.S. public finance markets.
F1: Highest short-term credit quality. Indicates the strongest intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; may have an added “+” to denote any exceptionally strong credit feature.

July 30, 2021 (as supplemented December 15, 2021) | Offering Memorandum  A-6

Private Account Portfolio Series

F2: Good short-term credit quality. Good intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments.
F3: Fair short-term credit quality. The intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate.
B: Speculative short-term credit quality. Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus heightened vulnerability to near term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
C: High short-term default risk. Default is a real possibility.
RD: Restricted default. Indicates an entity that has defaulted on one or more of its financial commitments, although it continues to meet other financial obligations. Typically applicable to entity ratings only.
D: Default. Indicates a broad-based default event for an entity, or the default of a short-term obligation.
