About PWLBX

Its primary objective is to deliver growth while adhering to prudent risk management. The fund achieves this by taking long exposure to multiple global equity portfolios, employing a rules-based approach rooted in Research Affiliates' Enhanced (RAE) methodology. This methodology emphasizes systematic factor investing, often targeting value and other market anomalies. The fund operates within the long-short equity category, giving it the flexibility to benefit in various market conditions by offsetting long positions with selective short exposures.

Its holdings span broad geographic and sector allocations, reflecting a global investment perspective. Managed by PIMCO, one of the world's largest asset managers, this fund plays a significant role for investors seeking alternative equity strategies with the potential to perform independently of traditional long-only benchmarks.
