PIMCO representatives Iggie Galaz and Sasha Taicott were in attendance for an annual review for the All Asset and the Global Multi Asset Funds, The All Asset Fund is structured such that Research Affiliates founded by Rob Arnott in 2002 acts as a sub - advisor on tactical asset allocation decisions and PIMCO is the active manager of the underlying funds. There is a 60140 split with US equity risk. The core stocks provide economic growth with a disinflationary bias, core bonds reduce volatility and provide income and the portfolio diversifiers provide low, negative correlation and have inflationary bias. The market value of the All Asset Fund as of June 2013 was $17,861,061. YTD as of July 13, 2013 the fund is -1.4% before fees. Areas of emphasis are EM and global bonds, credit, EM equities, and alternatives. All Asset de- emphasizes U.S. equities, U.S. Tips and commodities. The fund is positioned to weather stock market volatility and capture returns more evenly over the full year. The Global Multi Asset Fund is broad and global to maximize opportunity and diversification potential using individual securities, PIMCO mutual funds, PIMCO ETF's and non - PIMCO ETF's. The value as of July 2013 was $16,868,729. YTD the fund after fees is -6.6 %. The Vanguard overview report for Wellington Fund Admiral Shares was reviewed by the Board. After reviewing the total returns, Mike requested Vanguard be contacted to see if there are similar funds the Board could invest with that might mimic the OPEB fund.
