Pimco - Japanese Corporate Bond Fund

Post by Kanto »

Is anyone familiar with vehicles like this PIMCO fund?

Their fee is "okay" at 0.5765%, but I am a little unsure about the structure.

They focus on 1. Established Japanese companies. 2. High-quality Bonds and Debt with at least A rating 3. They currency hedge somewhat.

It seemed really intriguing, but then I realized that they seem to deal in CDS, (credit default swaps) and not necessarily bonds themselves. (see attached image.

I cannot find the exact ratio of CDS to bonds in the prospectus. Where would I find them? Any Comments on the fund generally?
