PimcoPIMCO – 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)Reply

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

How many employees?

edit

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)Reply

AUM in the lede

edit

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.

History

edit

PIMCO started as a unit of Pacific Life Insurance Company, managing separate accounts for that insurer’s clients, before PIMCO was officially founded in 1971.

  • In 2004, PIMCO launched alternative strategies to advance its capital markets innovation.
  • In 2005, PIMCO and Research Affiliates partnered to launch the first fund based on a fundamentally weighted equity approach, the flagship in what becomes a suite of systematic value strategies.

2018 – 2020

  • In 2018, PIMCO acquired municipal bond manager Gurtin Municipal Bond Management, broadening PIMCO’s muni platform and capabilities.[1]
  • In 2020, PIMCO assumed oversight of Allianz Real Estate, making the combined business, now called PIMCO Prime Real Estate into one of the world’s largest real estate platforms.[2]

2021 – Present

  • The firm’s dedicated alternatives team benefits from the investment process that has been in place for more than 50 years through different economic and market environments.
