The Firm claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS ) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. Allianz Global Investors, and/or its predecessor firm, has been independently verified for the periods 1 January 2007 to 31 December The verification reports are available upon request. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite presentation. Allianz Global Investors is a global asset management business, operating under the marketing name Allianz Global Investors through affiliated entities worldwide. For purposes of the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS ), the "Firm" is defined as the group of firms that coordinate their research, investment and/or trading activities (the "Global Investment Platform"), which currently includes Allianz Global Investors Europe GmbH, Allianz Global Investors GmbH UK Branch, Allianz Global Investors US LLC (including NFJ Investment Group LLC), Allianz Global Investors Asia Pacific, Allianz Global Investors Singapore Limited, Allianz Global Investors GmbH Milan Branch and Allianz Global Investors GmbH French Branch. In the case of certain firms, such coordination may be limited to common supervision by the Firm s Global Chief Investment Officer. As of December 31, 2014, the Firm had approximately USD429 billion in assets under management. Also operating under the marketing name Allianz Global Investors, there are certain investment advisory firms that are not part of the Global Investment Platform that have approximately USD64 billion in assets under management. While these firms are affiliates of the Firm they are excluded from the definition of the Firm for purposes of GIPS and their assets under management are therefore excluded from Total Firm Assets. For periods ending before December 31, 2012, the Firm was defined as a global investment advisory organization, consisting of separate affiliated firms, which operated under the brand name RCM ("RCM Global"), and the Global Investment Platform consisted only of those entities included within the RCM Global GIPS Firm definition. In 2012, through a global restructuring of the Allianz Global Investors business, the Global Investment Platform was expanded to include additional investment advisory firms. Total Firm Assets prior to 2012 reflect only those assets of RCM Global. Additional information regarding the firm s policies and procedures for calculating and reporting performance results is available upon request. To obtain a list and description of all of Allianz Global Investors composites, or for a complete list of the firms that comprise Allianz Global Investors and their periods of verification, please call or write to Allianz Global Investors US LLC, 600 West Broadway, San Diego, California Compliance Statement: Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the Firm's policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. The NFJ International Value composite has been examined for the periods March 1, 2003 through December 31, The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request. The Composite: The NFJ International Value Composite (the Composite ) is generally diversified with an emphasis on companies with low valuations and market capitalizations greater than $1 billion, is typically invested in ADR s traded in the US but is not limited to such securities. As of March 1, 2012, the portfolios may also invest in the ordinary shares of stock traded in local foreign markets. The composite was redefined to broaden the scope of investments available to the composite strategy. In addition, a significant portion of the Composite is invested in securities that are expected to pay dividends. The Composite was created on March 1, The Composite includes all actual fee paying discretionary institutional and mutual fund accounts (including sub-advisory relationships) with comparable investment objectives and risks, managed by AllianzGI US for at least one full month. The Composite can include both taxexempt and taxable accounts. All earnings are reinvested. No leverage has been used in the accounts included in the Composite. In the event of a significant cash flow to an account which is defined by AllianzGI US s policies and procedures as 25% or more of the beginning market value, the account will be removed from composite for one full month. Additional information regarding the treatment of significant cash flows is available upon request. Prior to July 1, 2010, the composite performance presented consists of the portfolios of NFJ Investment Group, LLC,, which, as a result of an internal corporate reorganization, now are part of the Firm. Such performance results have been linked to the results achieved at the Firm in compliance with the GIPS standards on performance record portability. Portfolio Returns: Returns are calculated on a total return basis, including all dividends and interest, accrued income, realized and unrealized gains or losses, and are net of all brokerage commissions, execution costs and without provision for federal or state income taxes. Returns are net of any foreign withholding taxes on dividends, interest and earnings. Performance results are expressed in US dollars. Fees: Performance results stated to be gross do not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees. Gross performance results earned on behalf of AllianzGI US s clients will be reduced by AllianzGI US s advisory fees. Net performance results, which reflect the deduction of the highest applicable investment advisory fees, are also displayed. AllianzGI US investment advisory fees are usually accrued monthly based on the market value of the assets in a portfolio, including cash or its equivalent, held for investment, at the end of each month. NFJ s standard advisory fees, as reported in Form ADV Part 2A Brochure for the investment style described herein, are 0.85% annually on the first $25 million, 0.75% on the next $25 million, 0.60% on the next $50 million, and 0.45% in excess of $100 million. Index: The MSCI All Country World Ex-US Index measures the equity market performance of the developed and emerging markets, excluding the United States. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global developed and emerging markets. The Index is calculated with gross dividends and approximates the maximum possible dividend reinvestment. The amount deemed reinvested is the dividends distributed to individuals residing in the country of the company, but does not include tax credits. This unmanaged market index is provided to represent the investment environment existing during the time periods shown. For comparison purposes, the index is a fully invested index, which includes reinvestment of income. The returns for this unmanaged index do not include any transaction costs, management fees or other costs. The primary benchmark as of 6/30/2008 is the MSCI All Country World ex-us Index. Although the NFJ Investment Group is a value investor, the broader ex-us index provides a more accurate benchmark because it is more inclusive. Furthermore, our selection universe is primarily composed of ADR s, and thus many of the deepest value names which are included in the MSCI All-Country World ex-us Value index are not included in our selection universe. Previous benchmark from 1/1/2005 to 6/30/2008 was the MSCI All Country World ex US Value Index. Prior to that the previous benchmark was the MSCI World ex- US. All returns presented are calculated using US dollars Internal Dispersion: The internal dispersion is an asset weighted dispersion measure that explains the deviation of gross annual account returns from the Composite annual account return. Assuming normal distribution of returns, plus or minus one standard deviation from the mean return encompasses 68% of all possible outcomes. The internal dispersion may not be meaningful for composites consisting of five or fewer portfolios or for periods of less than one full year. Internal dispersion of annual returns for all portfolios in the NFJ International Value Composite is shown for the full year using equal weighting of accounts for calendar years prior to 2005 and asset weighting of accounts for calendar years commencing in Past performance is not indicative of future results. Gross returns do not give effect to investment advisory fees, which would reduce such returns. Investment advisory fees are described further in Form ADV Part 2A Brochure of the investment adviser. Advisory fees deducted periodically from accounts can have an impact on performance. As an example, the effect of investment advisory fees on the total value of a portfolio assuming (1) $1,000,000 investment, (2) portfolio return of 5% per year, and (3) 1.00% annual investment advisory fee would be $10, in the first year, $56, over five years, and $129, over ten years. Actual fees charged may vary by portfolio due to various conditions, including account size. The net-of fee results for individual accounts and for different time periods may vary. Unless otherwise noted, equity index performance is calculated with gross dividends reinvested and estimated tax withheld, and bond index performance includes all payments to bondholders, if any. Indexes are referred to for comparative purposes only and are not intended to parallel the risk or investment style of the portfolios in the Composite. Indexes do not utilize leverage. Index calculations do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions or other expenses of investing. Investors may not make direct investment into any index.

(2) The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the composite and the index returns over the preceding 36-month period. (3) The three-year annualized standard deviation is not presented because there are less than 36 monthly returns for the composite and benchmark. (4) Standard deviation is not considered statistically meaningful when there are five or fewer portfolios in the composite during the period. Investments in overseas markets may pose special risks, including currency fluctuation and political risks, and the portfolio is expected to be more volatile than a US-only portfolio. These risks are generally intensified for investments in emerging markets. Small- and mid-cap stocks may be subject to a higher degree of risk than more established companies securities. The illiquidity of the markets for these stocks may adversely affect the value of these investments. 22

Past performance is not indicative of future results. All returns are gross unless otherwise noted. Gross returns do not give effect to investment advisory fees, which would reduce such returns. Investment advisory fees are described further in Form ADV Part 2A Brochure of the investment adviser named in the performance presentation of the relevant strategy (the Adviser ).

As an example, the effect of investment advisory fees on the total value of a portfolio assuming (a) $1,000,000 investment, (b) portfolio return of 5% per year, and (c) 1.00% annual investment advisory fee would be $10, in the first year, $56, over five years, and $129, over ten years.

Although the Adviser manages the strategy with the goal of achieving these expectations, actual results may vary, and the publication of these expectations should not be construed as a guarantee. Representative account characteristics do not reflect composite performance, which may be different. On any given date, any portfolio managed in the indicated strategy may include securities not held by the representative account, and may not hold each security held in the representative account. Consequently, any particular account may have portfolio characteristics and performance that differ from those of the representative account. Portfolio characteristics and other information contained in this presentation have been obtained from independent research providers and other sources the Adviser believes to be reliable, but the Adviser cannot guarantee that the information is accurate, current or complete. Certain projected characteristics (such as the forward P/E ratio) of the Representative Account and indices shown may have been estimated. Estimates (est.) are preliminary and unaudited. Estimated data reflect subjective judgments and assumptions and unexpected events may occur. Therefore, there can be no assurance that developments will transpire as forecasted in this brochure. For more information regarding account characteristics, please contact Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC ( AllianzGI US ).

The information provided is for informational purposes only and investors should determine for themselves whether a particular service or product is suitable for their investment needs or should seek such professional advice for their particular situation. The asset and industry reports contained herein are unaudited. The summation of dollar values and percentages reported may not equal the total values, due to rounding discrepancies. Where applicable, currency conversions are provided by Russell Performance Universe and are based on monthly linked performance converted from U.S. dollar, and exchange rates are provided by the Federal Reserve Statistical Release as of month end. Unless otherwise noted, equity index performance is calculated with gross dividends reinvested and estimated tax withheld, and bond index performance includes all payments to bondholders, if any. Indexes are referred to for comparative purposes only and are not intended to parallel the risk or investment style of the portfolios managed by the Adviser. Indexes do not utilize leverage.
