Summary

| by Peter Marchese

Pimco Municipal Bond is managed by a highly experienced group of portfolio managers and analysts who apply a sector-agnostic, relative value driven approach across most sectors of the municipal market, including taxable munis. The fund’s track record is compelling; however, concerns about the continuing turnover on the muni team after Pimco acquired Gurtin Municipal Bond Management in 2019 underpin a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Neutral for all its share classes save its C shares, which are rated Negative.
