Lead portfolio manager Erin Browne’s departure in May 2026 lowers conviction in Pimco RealPath Blend target-date series, resulting in a People Pillar downgrade to Above Average from High. The series retains an experienced bench of managers and a strong open-architecture approach that combines low-cost passive equity with Pimco’s active fixed-income lineup, which should continue to serve investors well.
