Performance and feePast performance is not a guarantee or a reliable indicator of future results. The performance figures presented reflect the total return performance for Institutional Class shares (after fees) and reflect changes in share price and reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions. All periods longer than one year are annualized. The 45-degree line in the performance graph(s) represents the point at which the Fund performance is equal to the index.
ChartPerformance results for certain charts and graphs may be limited by date ranges specified on those charts and graphs; different time periods may produce different results.
Client ListThe client list is a partial listing of clients that have authorized their name for such use. The list is chosen from some of the largest authorized accounts in each category listed and contains client names that PIMCO considers to be widely recognized. It is not known whether the listed clients approve or disapprove of PIMCO or the advisory services provided.
ForecastForecasts, estimates, and certain information contained herein are based upon proprietary research and should not be considered as investment advice or a recommendation of any particular security, strategy or investment product. There is no guarantee that results will be achieved.
Investment StrategyThere is no guarantee that these investment strategies will work under all market conditions and each investor should evaluate their ability to invest for a long-term especially during periods of downturn in the market. No representation is being made that any account, product, or strategy will or is likely to achieve profits, losses, or results similar to those shown.
OutlookStatements concerning financial market trends are based on current market conditions, which will fluctuate. There is no guarantee that these investment strategies will work under all market conditions, and each investor should evaluate their ability to invest for the long-term, especially during periods of downturn in the market. Outlook and strategies are subject to change without notice.
RiskInvesting in the bond market is subject to certain risks including market, interest-rate, issuer, credit, and inflation risk; investments may be worth more or less than the original cost when redeemed. Investing in foreign denominated and/or domiciled securities may involve heightened risk due to currency fluctuations, and economic and political risks, which may be enhanced in emerging markets. Mortgage and asset-backed securities may be sensitive to changes in interest rates, subject to early repayment risk, and their value may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of issuer creditworthiness; while generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee there is no assurance that private guarantors will meet their obligations. High-yield, lower-rated, securities involve greater risk than higher-rated securities; portfolios that invest in them may be subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk than portfolios that do not. Income from municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax. Inflation-linked bonds (ILBs) issued by a government are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation; ILBs decline in value when real interest rates rise. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) are ILBs issued by the U.S. Government. Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time and may reduce the returns of a portfolio. Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lose more than the amount invested. Diversification does not insure against loss.
The value of most bond funds and fixed income securities are impacted by changes in interest rates. Bonds and bond funds with longer durations tend to be more sensitive and more volatile than securities with shorter durations; bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise.

DISCLOSURESThis unaudited information is approved for one-on-one presentations only and is not intended for reproduction or distribution or to provide specific investment advice to any individual. HighMark Capital Management, Inc., ("HighMark") a wholly-owned subsidiary of Union Bank, N.A., is an SEC-registered investment adviser and serves as the investment adviser for the HighMark Funds. Please refer to HighMark's Form ADV for more information, including advisory fees. HighMark Funds are distributed by PFPC Distributors Inc., which is unaffiliated with the adviser, its parent or any affiliates. Union Bank, N.A., a subsidiary of UnionBanCal Corporation, performs certain services for the HighMark Funds and other investment products managed by HighMark and is compensated for these services.
All investments, including in the HighMark Funds or HighMark strategies, are not deposits, obligations of or guaranteed by the adviser, its parent, or any affiliates. Investments involve risk, including possible loss of principal, and are not insured by the FDIC or any other governmental agency. Past performance is no indication of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.
Some information provided herein was obtained from third party sources deemed to be reliable; HighMark and its affiliates make no representations or warranties with respect to the timeliness, accuracy, or completeness of the information provided. Any information provided is subject to change without notice.
Composite returns represented on page 11:A complete list and description of firm composites and additional information regarding the firm's policies and procedures for calculating and reporting performance results are available upon request. All returns are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Core Fixed Income Composite includes all institutional portfolios invested in a diversified portfolio of investment grade U.S. fixed income securities. The composite was created in January 1996. As of June 30, 2009, the composite represented 3 accounts totaling $348 million in assets, which is 2.07% of total assets under management for the firm.
The benchmark is the Barclay's Capital (BC) U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which is unmanaged that is generally representative of the U.S. investment grade taxable bond market as a whole. Benchmark returns do not reflect the deduction of advisory fees, custody fees, transaction costs, or other expenses of investing. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. Total benchmark returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Securities investments involve risk, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. Returns for periods under one year are not annualized. Gross returns are presented before management and custodial fees but after all trading expenses and reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. Client's return will be reduced by the advisory fees and other expenses it may incur as a client. Fees charged are at the discretion of HighMark Capital Management, Inc. and Union Bank, N.A.; investment advisory fees are described in Part II of HighMark's Form ADV, which is available upon request. Assuming an investment for 5 years, a 5% annual total return, and an annual fee rate of 0.50% deducted from the assets at market value at the end of each year, a $10 million initial value would grow to $12.45 million after fees (Net-of-Fees) and $12.76 million before fees (Gross-of-Fees).
