  • PIMCO is one of the world's premier fixed income asset managers. Founded in 1971, PIMCO was run by the legendary Bill Gross who pioneered their legendary Total Return strategy. Today, the company is known for its consistent outperformance of fixed-income benchmarks over long time horizons. PIMCO touts this outperformance right on their website.

The article from Seeking Alpha discusses the PIMCO StockPlus Long Duration Fund (PSLDX), a mutual fund that has significantly outperformed the S&P 500 over the past decade. PSLDX combines equity exposure through S&P 500 futures with a long-duration bond strategy, aiming to provide both capital appreciation and income. The fund's strategy involves leveraging its equity exposure, which can amplify both gains and losses, and investing in long-term bonds to potentially benefit from interest rate movements. Despite its complexity and higher risk due to leverage, the fund has managed to deliver impressive returns, although it comes with increased volatility and a higher expense ratio compared to typical index funds. The article highlights the fund's performance, its unique strategy, and the considerations investors should take into account, such as the fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes and its suitability for those with a higher risk tolerance.
