Investment Philosophy

 

From our founding in 1986, PCM has achieved long-term capital appreciation by investing in companies that are out of favor, underappreciated or misunderstood, and thereby trade at a significant discount to our estimation of their long-term intrinsic value. We rigorously analyze a host of factors to fully understand a company"s ability to create value in the future. We couple our quantitative assessment with an in-depth qualitative appraisal. Our long-term investment horizon matched with our in-depth knowledge of various industries developed over more than 20 years of investing in public companies can provide insights into what is being overlooked, misunderstood or underappreciated and how a company may unlock that hidden value for its shareholders.

Investment Objective

 

The fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in companies that are out of favor, underappreciated or misunderstood, and thereby trade at a significant discount to PCM"s estimation of long-term intrinsic value.

Risk Considerations

 

Mutual Fund investing involves risk and it is possible to lose money by investing in a fund. The Fund is non-diversified and may invest in a larger portion of its assets in the securities of a single issuer than a more diversified fund causing its value to fluctuate more widely. The fund may engage in strategies that are considered risky or invest in stocks of companies that are undervalued which may cause greater volatility and less liquidity.

Trailing Returns as of September 30, 2011

 

On 5/28/2010, a corporate defined contribution plan (the "Predecessor Account") was converted into Class I Shares of the Fund. The Predecessor Account's performance has been included for the period January 1, 1987 to May 28, 2010 and has been adjusted to reflect the monthly deduction of fees and expenses applicable to Class I Shares of the Fund. The Predecessor Account was not registered as a mutual fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), and therefore was not subject to certain investment restrictions, limitations and diversification requirements imposed by the 1940 Act and Internal Revenue Code. If the Predecessor Account had been registered under the 1940 Act its performance may have been different. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund's Gross Expense Ratio is 1.86%. The Fund's Net Expense Ratio is 1.00% (does not include "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses") as the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees until August 31, 2014. The performance shown reflects fee waivers/reimbursements in effect, without these waivers, performance would have been lower. Total returns are based on net change in NAV with reinvestment of all dividends. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. The Fund has experienced relatively high performance which may not be sustainable into the future. For performance current to the most recent month-end, please call 1-800-763-0337. The S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index are unmanaged indices. Individuals cannot invest in an index.
