About PCLAX
The PIMCO CommoditiesPLUS Strategy Fund Class A is a mutual fund designed to provide exposure to a broad basket of commodities while seeking total return in excess of its benchmark. The fund achieves its objective primarily by investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as futures and swaps, which are backed by an actively managed portfolio of fixed income securities with low volatility. This approach allows the fund to gain efficient and diversified commodity exposure without requiring direct physical ownership of underlying assets. Commodities targeted include sectors such as agriculture, energy, livestock, and precious metals, and the fund may include an additional carbon trading component. Its holdings are diversified across multiple asset classes and issuers, managing risk while seeking to capitalize on trends within the commodities markets. By overlaying commodity exposure on a bond portfolio, the fund offers investors a liquid means to participate in global commodity price movements and potential inflation protection, playing a distinctive role for those seeking diversification outside traditional equity and fixed income investments.
Performance
PCLAX had a total return of 4.31% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 3.33%.
