Chapter 2 contains an overview of the index and the definitions for the different regions and instrument categories along with the list of countries qualifying under the amended rules. Chapter 3 describes the weighting mechanisms that apply across and within individual markets, respectively. Chapter 4 details the historical overview containing historical weights since The calculation methodologies for the returns, indices and analytics, as well as currency translations are described in chapter 5. Chapter 6 deals with publication and timing issues. The index history starts on 31 December In line with the existing PIMCO Global Advantage indices, all indices have a level of 100 on 31 October The index weights are rebalanced quarterly and the bond selection is performed monthly on the last calendar day of the month resp., quarter.

Eurozone includes those member countries of the European Union that have adopted the Euro as domestic currency. Japan means Japan. Other Industrialised Countries are Australia, Canada, Denmark, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. Iceland is also part of the Other Industrialised Countries, but is not included in any index as it contributes less than 0.5% to the total GDP of this category. Emerging markets are defined in this document as those markets that are not included in any of the other regions. US, Eurozone, Japan and Other Industrialised Countries comprise the developed market. 2.2 Instrument Categories Only bonds issued by central governments in their domestic currency qualify for the index. 2.3 Selection Criteria for Countries Within Developed Markets For a developed country to qualify for the index a set of the criteria has to be met.

The size of a bond market is defined as the aggregate size of all eligible local currency-denominated government debt with a maturity of one year or longer Credit Rating Countries must have a domestic sovereign debt rating by at least one of the following rating agencies: Standard & Poor s, Moody s or Fitch.

Emerging markets where FX forwards are mainly traded in the form of NDFs are limited to 10% of the emerging markets index each. The GDP data to weight the regions is updated once a year in October. The new weights are published on the 15th of September, or the next business day. The new weights become effective on 31 October each year. All GDP weights are constructed as the equally-weighted average of the last five years global share of the GDP. 7
8 The latest regional and country weights as of July 2010 are defined in the table below: Table 2: Regional and country weights, July 2010 Level Weights Region Country Region Country Aggregate US 26.00% Eurozone 22.40% Austria 3.20% % Belgium 3.90% % Finland 2.10% % France 21.90% % Germany 28.30% % Ireland 2.20% % Italy 18.10% % Netherlands 6.60% % Portugal 1.80% % Spain 11.90% % Japan 9.10% OIC 12.20% Australia 13.20% % Canada 20.70% % Denmark 4.70% % New Zealand 1.90% % Norway 5.70% % Sweden 6.70% % Switzerland 6.70% % United Kingdom 40.40% % EM 30.30% Brazil 10.00% % Chile 2.80% % Czech Republic 3.10% % Egypt 2.30% % Hong Kong 3.90% % Hungary 2.50% % Israel 3.10% % Malaysia 3.40% % Mexico 19.20% % Peru 2.00% % Poland 7.70% % Russia 10.00% % Singapore 2.90% % South Africa 5.20% % South Korea 10.00% % Taiwan 7.50% % Thailand 4.40% % Every quarter following the 31 January quarterly cycle - the weights are reset to reflect the agreed weights. In between quarters, the weights may slightly fluctuate based on the performance of the different instruments and FX movements. 8
9 3.2 Intra-country Weightings All intra-country weightings are market cap based. 3.3 Rounding and Resetting The weights of a region, instrument category within a region or country within an instrument category are expressed in % and rounded to one decimal place each. If the rounded weights do not add up to 1, the largest unrestricted segment(s) are adjusted by 10 basis points each until the sum of all weights is 1. If the categories are equally weighted, the first category is adjusted by 10 basis points, if necessary). Combined weights are not adjusted. The mechanism ensures that all weights sum up to 100%. An example of the weights calculation is shown in table 2 above. 9

12 5 Bond Selection For all local currency indices, the number of bonds selected from a country is depending on the market capitalization of the eligible bond universe. A maturity profile is used to select the bonds. 5.1 Maturity Profile and Market Classification Maturity Profile The existing PIMCO Global Advantage Indices restrict the number of securities per category and currency. A similar approach is used for the PIMCO GLADI Government. For markets of less than $ 500 billion, the number of bonds selected is limited to 15. The following maturity bands are used in the selection: 1-5 years 5-10 years years years 20+ years For markets of $ 500 billion or more, the number of bonds selected is 50. The following maturity profile issued: 1-3 years 3-5 years 5-10 years years years 20+ years If more bonds are eligible than the maximum number permitted, the bonds are selected according to the maturity profile of the overall debt. The profile calculates the share of each maturity band and selects the number of bonds from each segment accordingly. Bonds, whose original maturity is no more than 1 year longer than the maturity band they currently belong to, are preferred, with the largest bonds selected first Market Classification The $ 500 billion threshold is applied once a year on 31 October. The following data is used to calculate the USD market size of each country: The local currency market size of total eligible universe as of 30 September The average FX rate of the last 3 month-ends (31 July, 31 August and 30 September) to calculate the USD bond market size. 5.2 Bond Selection for Emerging Markets Only fixed rate non-callable central government debt with a minimum local currency equivalent of $ 100 million qualifies. Both bullet bonds and sinking funds with a minimum time to maturity of 12 months (18 months at issuance) are eligible. 5.3 Bond Selection for Developed Markets 12
13 Only non-callable fixed rate or zero coupon bullet bonds are eligible for the index. The bond must be issued in the local currency of the issuing country. The amount outstanding is currency specific. All bonds must have a minimum remaining time to maturity of at least one year on the membership selection date. The table below shows the minimum amount outstanding for bonds applying in each market: Table 5: Amount outstanding for developed market bonds Market Currency Local currency cut-off (bn) Australia AUD 2 Canada CAD 2 Denmark DKK 10 Eurozone EUR 2 Japan JPY 200 New Zealand NZD 2 Norway NOK 10 Sweden SEK 10 Switzerland CHF 1.5 United Kingdom GBP 2 United States USD 2 13
14 6 PIMCO Global Advantage Government Customized Indices Customized versions of the PIMCO Global Advantage Government Bond Index are derived by excluding certain countries or maturity segments from the indices. 6.1 Maturity Indices For a maturity index, all countries from the PIMCO Global Advantage Government Bond Index are GDP-weighted according to the weights within the overall PIMCO Global Advantage Government Bond Index. If there is no qualifying debt from any country the following rule applies: A substitute bond from the country is selected provided that the time to maturity of the substitute is no more than two years outside the maturity bucket. If more than one substitute is available then the substitute with maturity closest to the maturity band is selected. In the event that two substitutes have the same maturity difference to the band, the substitute with the longer time to maturity is selected. If no substitute is available, the country is excluded from the index with its weight being redistributed across the remaining countries from the same region. For countries and regions they belong to, please see Table 2. At each subsequent quarterly GDP reset it is checked if qualifying bonds or substitutes are available and if the latter holds true, the country is re-included into the index. No country is added to the index on a rebalancing date other than a quarterly reset date, even if eligible bonds become available.

15 7 Calculations All calculations follow the PIMCO Global Advantage Index rules. 8 Price Fixing Times The index is calculated using end-of-day closing prices for each country. Closing times differ from country to country. Table 8 lists closing times for each country in the index. All indices are calculated twice daily at London and New York closes. The standard index FX fixing is the London close with WM/Reuters FX spot and forward rates calculated at 4 pm London time.
