We believe an informed macroeconomic outlook – over long- and short-term horizons – is key to identifying opportunities and risks well before they occur. Four times a year, our 725+ investment professionals from offices around the world gather to discuss and debate the state of the global markets and economy, and pinpoint trends we believe will have important investment implications. Over a 40+ year history, these forums have helped us get ahead of global developments and anticipate our clients’ future challenges and objectives.

The forums fuel the work of PIMCO’s Investment Committee (IC), which is comprised of our most senior investment professionals, including Group Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Dan Ivascyn and all our CIOs – each of whom oversees a specific channel of assets within the firm and is immersed in our process at every level. The IC distills PIMCO’s insights into investment guidelines on such factors as growth, inflation, duration, volatility, sectors, countries and currencies.

Rigorous bottom-up analysis is meshed with our top-down guidelines to help us target the most attractive opportunities for our clients’ portfolios. Our investment team is comprised of 240 regional and specialist portfolio managers and 120+ analysts, including more than 55+ global credit analysts.

Our research analysts are industry sector specialists, who log millions of miles a year to identify securities across the globe and capital structure. They also draw on our proprietary risk management technology, a highly skilled trading desk and four decades of industry-leading investment expertise.
