PIMCO Comments
Implications for investors
Anticipate volatility over the short term but in the long term, the outlook for bond returns as "bonds mature" remains positive. Overtime we will have the advantage of higher spread margins over risk assets.

PIMCO Client Letter
7 August 2011
Dear Valued PIMCO Client:
As you know, S&P announced Friday evening that it was downgrading the US sovereign credit rating from AAA to AA+, and it assigned a negative outlook to this new rating. This once- unthinkable step has naturally raised many questions among our client base – including: what has happened so far; what is PIMCO planning to do; and what, if anything, do I need to do?
