Pimco → PIMCO – The name of the company is not a word, but rather an abbreviation for Pacific Investment Management Company, so the name should be all caps as is commonly used. I cannot move the article because PIMCO is a redirect to this article. I request the assistance of an admin. Alanraywiki (talk) 18:19, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Support - Seeing as it is an acronym, it is the logical thing to do. 08OceanBeach^S.D. 01:12, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

How many employees?

First section says "over 8,400 employees", while the fact box says "Employees 2000+". Which one is it? Of course, a source must be provided. --HelgeStenstrom (talk) 19:21, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

AUM in the lede

This is slowly turning into an edit war with a user with changing IP address, so I would like to have some input from other editors about whether it is appropriate to include AUM information in the lede section of the article about an investment management company. My point is that it is an important and highly relevant piece of information, akin to the deposit share for the largest banks or revenue figures for the biggest corporations.
