About PPYIX
The PIMCO RAE International Fund Institutional Class is an actively managed mutual fund designed to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity securities of companies based outside the United States. The fund primarily targets stocks from at least three foreign countries, focusing on large value-oriented companies that are economically tied to developed international markets. Employing the RAE (Research Affiliates Equity) Fundamental investment methodology, the fund systematically selects securities based on fundamental measures such as sales, cash flow, dividends, and book value rather than traditional market capitalization.
This fund is well-diversified across sectors including financial services, consumer defensive, healthcare, and industrials, with leading holdings in prominent international firms such as Japan Post Holdings, Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize, and Roche Holding. It maintains a sizable position in value equities that are considered undervalued relative to their fundamentals, appealing to investors seeking exposure outside the U.S. with a value tilt. The PIMCO RAE International Fund Institutional Class plays a significant role for institutional investors aiming to diversify their portfolios internationally while leveraging a rules-based, fundamentally driven approach to stock selection.
