On June 16, 2023, PIMCO entered into a settlement agreement with the SEC relating to certain disclosures in the 2014 and 2015 annual shareholder reports of PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund (PGP) regarding PGPs use of paired interest rate swaps in its portfolio.

On June 16, 2023, PIMCO entered into a settlement agreement with the SEC relating to an error in the fee waiver calculation used by PIMCOs third-party vendor that caused certain advisory fees to be under-waived from April 2011 to November 2017 and charged to PIMCO All Asset All Authority Fund (A4). Under the terms of the settlement, PIMCO agreed to pay to the SEC a civil monetary penalty in the amount of $2.5 million. Prior to the SECs investigation, PIMCO had identified the error, publicly disclosed the issue and implemented a plan that reimbursed A4 and its shareholders for any losses associated with the fee waiver miscalculation. In addition, PIMCO has enhanced its policies and procedures relating to its oversight of the third-party vendors advisory fee calculations.
