PCM Fund, Inc. Letter to Shareholders

 

 

August 15, 2008

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

We are pleased to provide you with the semi-annual report for PCM Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) for the six-months ended June 30, 2008.

 

As economic growth slowed and credit conditions tightened during the period, the U.S. bond market delivered modest but mostly positive returns. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index posted a 1.13% return and the Lehman Brothers Mortgage Backed Bond Index returned 1.93%. The Federal Reserve (“the Fed”) reduced the Federal Funds rate four times during the period, paring the benchmark rate on loans between member banks from 4.25% to 2.0%. The Fed also sought other methods to inject liquidity into the economy.

 

On April 24, 2008, Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (‘‘AGIFM’’), announced that the majority of shareholders of the Fund, approved to change the Fund’s investment manager from Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (‘‘PIMCO’’) to AGIFM. PIMCO will continue to be the Fund’s portfolio manager and sub-adviser pursuant to a portfolio management agreement between PIMCO and AGIFM. The Fund’s shareholders also elected new directors to the board, each of whom currently serves as a director/trustee of AGIFM’s other sponsored closed-end funds:

 

These changes will not impact the Fund’s investment objective, however the total management fees and administrative fees paid by the Fund will be lower.

 

For specific information on the Fund and its performance during the reporting period, please review the following pages. If you have any questions regarding the information provided, we encourage you to contact your financial advisor or call the Fund’s shareholder servicing agent at (800) 331-1710. In addition, a wide range of information and resources can be accessed through our Web site, www.allianzinvestors.com/closedendfunds.

 

Together with Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC, the Fund’s investment manager, and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, the Fund’s sub-adviser, we thank you for investing with us.

 

We remain dedicated to serving your investment needs.

 

Sincerely,

PCM Fund, Inc. Fund Insights/Performance & Statistics

June 30, 2008 (unaudited)

 

 

 

For the six-months ended June 30, 2008, the Fund had a net asset value (“NAV”) return of (8.29)% and a market price return of 2.68%.

 

In the first half of 2008, Commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) across the capital structure underperformed Treasuries with the Lehman Brothers CMBS Investment Grade Index underperforming (5.71)%.

 

The liquidity crisis throughout the first half of 2008 drove spreads wider on all CMBS despite strong fundamentals and no sign of the severe deterioration of collateral quality as was witnessed in other mortgage sectors.

 

Drivers of performance:

   

Exposure to CMBS, particularly in the higher quality, senior issues, was negative for performance as this sector sold off in the first half due to the liquidity crisis and forced selling by market participants looking to reduce balance sheet positions

   

An underweight to duration was negative for performance as yields rallied in response to the Fed actions and increasing fallout from the housing crisis

   

Exposure to some non-agency mortgage-backed security (“MBS”) issues detracted from performance as non-agency MBS and CMBS were similarly affected by systemic financial system deleveraging and the liquidity crisis

   

A curve steepening bias added to performance as the front end of the curve rallied relative to longer maturities as the Fed reduced interest rates

(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by subtracting the value of an investment in the Fund at the beginning of each specified period from the value at the end of the period and dividing the remainder by the value of the investment at the beginning of the period and expressing the result as a percentage. The calculation assumes that all of the Fund’s income dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized. Total return for a period more than one year represents the average annual total return.

The Fund’s performance at market price will differ from its results at NAV. Although market price returns typically reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as changing views about the Fund, market conditions, supply and demand for the Fund’s shares, or changes in Fund distributions.

 

An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, market price, market yield and net asset value will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information only and is not typically intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a onetime public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Net asset value is equal to total assets attributable to common shareholders less total liabilities divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily.

 

(2) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly per share dividend (comprised of net investment income) to common shareholders by the market price per common share at June 30, 2008.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Effective June 1, 2007, the Fund’s name changed from the PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. to PCM Fund, Inc. PCM Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) commenced operations on September 2, 1993. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as a closed-end, non-diversified, management investment company organized as a Maryland corporation. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”) serves as the Fund’s investment manager and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global of America LP (“Allianz Global”). Allianz Global is an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. The Fund has an unlimited amount of $0.00001 par value common stock authorized.

 

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to achieve high current income by investing in a portfolio comprised primarily of commercial mortgage-backed securities. These securities are fixed income instruments representing an interest in mortgage loans on commercial real estate properties such as office buildings, shopping malls, hotels, apartment buildings, nursing homes and industrial properties. Capital gains from the disposition of investments is a secondary objective of the Fund.

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet been asserted. However, the Fund expects the risk of any loss to be remote.

 

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Fund, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. Fund management has determined that its evaluation of the Interpretation has resulted in no material impact to the Fund’s financial statements at June 30, 2008.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about a fund’s derivative and hedging activities. Fund management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:

 

(a) Valuation of Investments

Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available or if a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security, are fair valued, in good faith, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Directors, or person acting at their discretion pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Directors, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily available. The Fund’s investments, including over-the-counter options, are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the last quoted mean price for those securities for which the over-the-counter market is the primary market or for listed securities in which there were no sales. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar

characteristics. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. The prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and these differences could be material to the financial statements. The Fund’s net asset value is normally determined as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on each day the NYSE is open for business.

 

(b) Fair Value Measurement

Effective January 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of the fair value measurements. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

   

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

   

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2008 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The Fund utilized the following fair value techniques: multi-dimensional relational pricing model and option adjusted spread pricing.

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used at June 30, 2008 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at value:

Ending balance, 6/30/08

  $ 2,789,689     $ (955,435 )
               

 

(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as interest income on the Statement of Operations.

 

(d) Federal Income Taxes

The Fund intends to distribute all of its taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.

 

(e) Dividends and Distributions

The Fund declares dividends from net investment income monthly to shareholders. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. The Fund records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These “book-tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their income tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes they are reported as dividends and/or distributions of paid-in capital in excess of par.

 

(f) Option Transactions

The Fund may purchase and write (sell) put and call options for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or as a part of its investment strategy. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from the securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid.

 

When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as options written in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised

are recorded on the expiration date as a realized gain. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transactions, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security. In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of a written option could result in the Fund purchasing a security at a price different from the current market value.

 

(g) Interest Rate/Credit Default Swaps

The Fund enters into interest rate and credit default swap contracts (“swaps”) for investment purposes, to manage its interest rate and credit risk or to add leverage. As a seller in the credit default swap contract, the Fund would be required to pay the notional amount or other agreed-upon value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer, on the referenced debt obligation. In return, the Fund would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the Fund would keep the stream of payments and would have no payment obligations. Such periodic payments are accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss).

 

The Fund may also purchase credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of default of debt securities held, in which case the Fund would function as the counterparty referenced in the preceding paragraph. As a purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund would receive the notional amount or other agreed upon value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty in the event of default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer on the referenced obligation. In return, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty over the term of the contract provided no event of default has occurred. Such periodic payments are accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss).

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Fund with a counterparty of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Net periodic payments received by the Fund are included as part of realized gain (loss) and or change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations.

 

Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from brokers or market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. For a credit default swap sold by the Fund, payment of the agreed upon amount made by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as the cost of the referenced debt obligation purchased/received. For a credit default swap purchased by the Fund, the agreed upon amount received by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as proceeds from sale/ delivery of the referenced debt obligation and the resulting gain or loss realized on the referenced debt obligation is recorded as such by the Fund.

 

Entering into swaps involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in net interest rates.

 

(h) Repurchase Agreements

The Fund enters into transactions with its custodian bank or securities brokerage firms whereby it purchases securities under agreements to resell at an agreed upon price and date (“repurchase agreements”). Such agreements are carried at the contract amount in the financial statements. Collateral pledged (the securities received), which consists primarily of U.S. government obligations and asset-backed securities, are held by the

Table of Contents

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and the procedures adopted by the Fund require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

 

(i) Reverse Repurchase Agreements

In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells securities to a bank or broker-dealer and agrees to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. Generally, the effect of such a transaction is that the Fund can recover and reinvest all or most of the cash invested in the portfolio securities involved during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement and still be entitled to the returns associated with those portfolio securities. Such transactions are advantageous if the interest cost to the Fund of the reverse repurchase transaction is less than the returns it obtains on investments purchased with the cash. Unless the Fund covers its positions in reverse repurchase agreements (by segregating liquid assets at least equal in amount to the forward purchase commitment), its obligations under the agreements will be subject to the Fund’s limitations on borrowings. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Fund is obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted pending determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities.

 

(j) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities

The Fund may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

 

One type of SMBSs has one class receiving all or a portion of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only, or “IO” and/or the high coupon rate with relatively low principal amount, or “IOette” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only, or “PO” class). Payments received for IOs and IOettes are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Because little to no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO or IOettes, adjustments are made to the book value of the security on a daily basis until maturity.

 

These adjustments are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities.

 

(k) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises

Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage

Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

 

(l) Custody Credits on Cash Balances

The Fund benefits from an expense offset arrangement with its custodian bank whereby uninvested cash balances earn credits which reduce monthly custodian and accounting agent expenses. Had these cash balances been invested in income producing securities, they would have generated income for the Fund.

 

2. Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser

The Fund has entered into an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors, the Investment Manager is responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, the Fund’s investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily total managed assets. Total managed assets refers to the total assets of the Fund (including assets attributable to any reverse repurchase agreements and borrowings), minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing reverse repurchase agreements and borrowings).

 

The Investment Manager has retained its affiliate, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), to manage the Fund’s investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for making all of the Fund’s investment decisions. The Investment Manager and not the Fund, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Adviser in return for its services.

 

Prior to April 24, 2008, the Sub-Adviser served as investment manager and administrator to the Fund and received annual fees, payable quarterly of 0.725% and 0.10% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets for investment management and administrative services, respectively.

 

3. Investment in Securities

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term securities and U.S. government obligations, were $18,812,709 and $15,226,897, respectively.

6. Legal Proceedings

 

In June and September 2004, the Investment Manager, and certain of its affiliates (including Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”), PEA Capital LLC (“ PEA”) and Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations, claims brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New Jersey Attorney General alleging violations of federal and state securities laws with respect to certain open-end funds for which the Investment Manager serves as investment adviser. The settlements related to an alleged “market timing” arrangement in certain open-end funds formerly sub-advised by PEA. The Investment Manager and its affiliates agreed to pay a total of $68 million to settle the claims. In addition to monetary payments, the settling parties agreed to undertake certain corporate governance, compliance and disclosure reforms related to market timing, and consented to cease and desist orders and censures. Subsequent to these events, PEA deregistered as an investment adviser and dissolved. None of the settlements alleged that any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Fund.

 

Since February 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in a number of pending lawsuits concerning “market timing,” which allege the same or similar conduct underlying the regulatory settlements proceedings discussed above. The market timing lawsuits have been consolidated in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. Any potential resolution of these matters may include, but not be limited to, judgments or settlements for damages against the Investment Manager or its affiliates or related injunctions.

 

The Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory activities relating to the Fund.

 

The foregoing speaks only as of the date hereof.

 

7. Appointment of New Director

In May 2008, the Fund’s Board of Directors appointed Diana L. Taylor as a Director.

PCM Fund, Inc. Matters Relating to the Directors Consideration of the Investment Management and Portfolio Management Agreement     

 

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) requires that both the full Board of Directors (the “Directors”) and a majority of the non-interested (“Independent”) Directors, voting separately, approve the Fund’s Investment Management Agreement with Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (“AGIFM”) and the Portfolio Management Agreement between AGIFM and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”). On February 25, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Fund, including a majority of the Independent Directors, approved the Fund’s Investment Management Agreement and Portfolio Management Agreement (together, the “Agreements”). The information, material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval are described below.

 

1. Information Received

 

A. Materials Reviewed

The Directors received a wide variety of materials relating to the services to be provided by AGIFM and PIMCO. The Board considered information relating to the nature, extent and quality of services to be offered by the AGIFM and PIMCO. The Directors also considered matters relating to fund operations, including the Fund’s compliance program, shareholder services, valuation and custody, and other information relating to the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by AGIFM and PIMCO. In considering whether to approve the Agreements, the Board also reviewed supplementary information, including comparative industry data with regard to investment performance, advisory fees and expenses, financial and profitability information, and information about the personnel who would be providing investment management and administrative services to the Fund.

 

B. Review Process

In connection with the approval of the Agreements, the Board reviewed written materials prepared by AGIFM and PIMCO in response to requests from Fund counsel. The Board also received assistance and advice regarding applicable legal standards from Fund counsel, and reports prepared by AGIFM and PIMCO containing comparative performance and expense ratio information. The Board also heard oral presentations on matters related to the Agreements and met both as a full Board and as the Independent Directors alone, without management present. In deciding to recommend the approval of the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or particular information that, in isolation, was controlling. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board.

 

2. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

 

A. Personnel and Resources

The Board considered the depth and quality of each of AGIFM’s and PIMCO’s investment management process, including: its global research capabilities; the experience, capability and integrity of its senior management and other personnel; the low turnover rates of its key personnel; the overall financial strength and stability of its organization; and the ability of its organizational structure to address the recent growth in assets under management. The Board also considered that PIMCO and AGIFM make available to its investment professionals a variety of resources and systems relating to investment management, compliance, trading, performance and portfolio accounting. The Board considered AGIFM’s and PIMCO’s commitment to investing in information technology supporting investment management and compliance, as well as AGIFM’s and PIMCO’s continuing efforts to attract and retain qualified personnel and to maintain and enhance its resources and systems. The Board also considered that the portfolio management personnel at PIMCO who manage the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund would continue to do so under the Portfolio Management Agreement.

 

B. Other Services

The Board considered each of AGIFM’s and PIMCO’s policies, procedures and systems to assure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and its commitment to these programs; their anticipated efforts to keep the Directors informed about matters relevant to the Fund and its shareholders; and their attention to matters that may

involve conflicts of interest with the Fund. The Board also considered the terms of each Agreement, the nature, extent, quality and cost of the services to be provided by AGIFM to the Fund under the Investment Management Agreement, and the nature, extent, quality and cost of the services to be provided by PIMCO to the Fund under the Portfolio Management Agreement. The Board also considered whether the services to be provided under the Agreements would result in better utilization of the management resources offered by AGI and its affiliates and would relieve PIMCO of administrative burdens, thus freeing PIMCO to focus on portfolio management. In addition, the Board considered AGIFM’s ability to monitor and oversee sub-advisers. The Board noted that pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the Fund will pay AGIFM one fee for both investment management and administrative services whereas the Fund currently pays a separate investment management fee to PIMCO pursuant to the Current Management Agreement and a separate administrative services fee to PIMCO pursuant to the Current Administrative Services Agreement. The Board further noted that the fee paid to AGIFM pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement for combined investment management and administrative services is higher than the current fee paid to PIMCO for investment management services alone; however, when aggregating the total fees currently payable to PIMCO for both investment management and administrative services, the combined fee to be paid pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement is lower than the total fees currently payable to PIMCO. Ultimately, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by AGIFM and PIMCO will likely benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

 

3. Investment Performance

The Board received and examined information from PIMCO concerning the Fund’s one-, three-, five- and ten-year performance for the periods ended December 31, 2007. The Board noted that shares of the Fund had generally been trading at a premium for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2007, with shares trading at a discount during some periods, including the final six months of 2007. The Board also noted that for each of these periods except the one-year period, the Fund had beaten its benchmark index based on its NAV performance, but had generally trailed the benchmark index with respect to market price performance. The Board also noted that the Fund had generally outperformed most of its peer group funds and peer group average based on its NAV performance for these periods, with periods of outperformance and underperformance with respect to its market price for these periods. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its peer group average based on NAV performance for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2007.

 

Overall, the Board determined that the Fund’s investment performance was strong, and concluded that PIMCO’s performance record in managing the Fund indicates that its continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

 

4. Fees

AGIFM and PIMCO reported to the Board that, in proposing fees for the Fund, they considered a number of factors, including the type and complexity of the services provided, the cost of providing services, the risk assumed by AGIFM and PIMCO in the provision of services, the impact on potential returns from different levels of fees, the competitive marketplace for financial products, and the attractiveness of potential Fund returns to current and potential investors.

 

The Board considered the services to be provided and the fees to be charged under the Agreements. The Board also considered that the Fund was expected to pay lower fees for investment management and administrative services under the Agreement than it currently pays. With respect to overall levels of Fund expenses, the Board observed that bond funds are more fee- and expense-ratio sensitive than equity funds, given the tangible impact of fees and expenses on yield. The Board compared the Fund’s total expenses to other funds in the expense group provided by AGIFM and PIMCO, and found the Fund’s total expenses to be reasonable. The Board noted that the Fund’s expense ratio was lower than certain of the comparative funds presented. AGIFM and PIMCO do not manage any separate accounts with a similar investment strategy to the Fund; therefore the Board could not consider the fees charged by

 

  
6.30.08   PCM Fund, Inc. Semi-Annual Report   29


Table of Contents
PCM Fund, Inc. Matters Relating to the Directors Consideration of the Investment Management and Portfolio Management Agreement     

 

 

AGIFM and PIMCO to comparable separate accounts. The Board concluded that the proposed advisory and administrative fees were reasonable in relation to the value of the services provided.

 

Based on the information presented by AGIFM and PIMCO, members of the Board then determined, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the level of the advisory and administrative fees to be charged by AGIFM and PIMCO, as well as the total expenses of the Fund, are reasonable and approval of the Agreements will likely benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

 

5. Costs, Level of Profits and Economies of Scale

The Board reviewed information regarding AGIFM’s and PIMCO’s anticipated costs of providing services to the Fund as a whole, as well as the resulting level of anticipated profits to AGIFM and PIMCO, noting that those results were comparable to the reported results of several large publicly held investment management companies. The Board noted that it had also received information regarding the structure and manner in which AGIFM’s and PIMCO’s investment professionals were compensated, and AGIFM’s and PIMCO’s views of the relationship of such compensation to the attraction and retention of quality personnel. The Board considered AGIFM’s and PIMCO’s need to invest in technology, infrastructure and staff to reinforce and offer new services and to accommodate changing regulatory requirements.

 

With respect to potential economies of scale, the Board noted that, as a closed-end fund, the Fund was not expected to materially increase in size. The Board also noted that although neither the Investment Management Agreement nor Portfolio Management Agreement contain breakpoints, advisory agreements for closed-end funds generally do not contain breakpoints.

 

6. Ancillary Benefits

The Board considered other benefits received by AGIFM and PIMCO and their affiliates as a result of AGIFM’s and PIMCO’s relationship with the Fund, including possible ancillary benefits to AGIFM’s and PIMCO’s institutional investment management businesses due to the reputation and market penetration of the Fund. The Board also reviewed AGIFM’s and PIMCO’s soft dollar policies and procedures, noting that AGIFM and PIMCO have adopted policies not to accept soft dollars.

 

7. Conclusion

Based on their review, including their consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be rendered to the Fund by AGIFM and PIMCO will likely be excellent and favored approval of the Agreements. The Board concluded that the Agreements are each fair and reasonable to the Fund and its shareholders, that the Fund’s shareholders would receive reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to AGIFM by the Fund and to PIMCO by AGIFM, and that the approval of the Agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
