Pimco Inflation Hedges

in Fund Discussions
Trying to get better info than what the Pimco page provides...Real Return (PRRIX), Commodities Real Return (PCRIX) and Commodities Plus Strategy Fund (PCLIX). Pimco makes you register to receive info..I just want to view Fact Sheets and Holdings (grrrr). M* Analysis discusses it's holdings but seems to focus on TIPS. Juat looking for the main differences ...I'm going to call Pimco tomorrow and I know a few of thrit Salespeople....believe it or not, they sometimes seem to know as much as we do!

    This M* article explains more on commodity strategy funds. TIPS are often used as collateral for investing in future contracts (derivatives).
    Strategy design heavily influences performance, too. Most commodity strategies aim to closely track a specific index--usually the Bloomberg Commodity Index--and add value by making small tactical tilts or actively managing the collateral that backs the futures contracts.

    Beware that commodity funds are volatile and they can swing both directions quickly, particularly in today's market condition.

    I'm able to view the Fact Sheet, Prospectus, and Monthly Commentaries for PRRIX without registering.
    I didn't attempt to view any other PRRIX documents.

    When you're on a Pimco fund page, scroll down a few clicks until you come to a prominent blue bar. Click "Documents" at the far right of that bar, or just scroll away to near the bottom of the page, and there's what you're looking for (fact sheet, holdings report, portfolio stats, prospectus, reports, and more), no registration required.
