About PSTIX
PIMCO StocksPLUS Short Fund Institutional Class is a mutual fund designed to generate returns that move in the opposite direction of the S&P 500 Index, making it part of the "inverse equity" category. The fund achieves this by primarily employing short investment positions on the S&P 500 through derivatives such as futures, options, and swaps, while simultaneously maintaining a portfolio of fixed income instruments including bonds and debt securities from U.S. and international issuers. Its approach leverages both public equity and fixed income markets, allowing for broad diversification across sectors and market capitalizations. This fund caters to investors seeking exposure that benefits from declines in broad U.S. equity benchmarks, with its performance typically inversely correlated to the S&P 500’s daily movements. As such, it is commonly used by active traders for tactical positioning or hedging, rather than as a long-term core holding, due to the asymmetric effects of compounding over extended periods. The fund is managed by Pacific Investment Management Company (PIMCO) and benchmarks its performance against the S&P 500, its inverse, and peer short-bias funds in the market.
