may decrease its value. Measures such as average credit quality may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of the Fund. This is especially the case if the Fund consists of securities with widely varying credit ratings. <STRIKE>Credit risk is

that the Fund normally will have a short to intermediate average portfolio duration (<I>i.e.</I>, within a zero to eight year (0 to 8) range), as calculated by PIMCO, although it may be shorter or longer at any time<STRIKE> or from time to
time</STRIKE> depending on market conditions and other factors. For example, if the Fund has an average portfolio duration of eight years, a 1% increase in interest rates would tend to correspond to an 8% decrease in the value of the Fund&#146;s
debt portfolio. While the Fund seeks to maintain a short to intermediate average portfolio duration, there is no limit on the maturity or duration of any individual security in which the Fund may invest. Duration is a measure used to determine the
sensitivity of a security&#146;s price to changes in interest rates. The Fund&#146;s duration strategy may entail maintaining a negative average portfolio duration from time to time, meaning the portfolio would tend to increase in value in response
to an increase in interest rates. If the Fund has a negative average portfolio duration, a 1% increase in interest rates would tend to correspond to a 1% increase in the value of the Fund&#146;s debt portfolio for every year of negative duration. A
negative average portfolio duration would potentially benefit the Fund&#146;s portfolio in an environment of rising market interest rates, but would generally adversely impact the portfolio in an environment of falling or neutral market interest
rates. See &#147;Principal Risks of the Fund&#151;Interest Rate Risk.&#148; The Fund may use various derivatives strategies to manage (increase or decrease) the dollar-weighted average effective duration of the Fund&#146;s portfolio. PIMCO may also
utilize certain strategies, including without limitation investments in </P>
