At the core of the fund is its target fund, the PIMCO Income Fund—a globally acclaimed, actively managed global bond portfolio known for its resilient performance and disciplined strategy. With a strategic focus on yield generation while prioritizing capital preservation and an average annual payout of 6.1% as of April 2025, the target fund has earned a reputation for delivering reliable income across market cycles. PIMCO (Pacific Investment Management Company LLC), a global leader in active fixed income investing, manages over USD 2.03 trillion in assets as of the first quarter 2025 and serves institutional and individual investors across the globe.
“The launch of this fund reflects our commitment to democratize global investing and to provide Filipino investors access to world-class opportunities,” said Maria Theresa Marcial, President and CEO of BPI Wealth. “In today’s volatile environment, consistent cash flow is more than a financial goal—it’s a lifeline. This fund empowers investors to build secure, income-generating portfolios with confidence.”
Unlike many income-generating funds that rely on equities or balanced strategies, the BPI Global Bond Income Fund offers pure fixed income exposure, helping investors reduce volatility while maintaining regular payouts. It is available in both US dollar and Philippine peso classes, with a low minimum investment of just USD 100 or PHP 1,000 respectively, making global bond investing more accessible than ever.
“With global markets shaken by geopolitical uncertainty and persistent volatility, we see an increase in investor appetite for high-quality bonds,” said Clara Ng, Vice President at PIMCO. "We are pleased to partner with BPI Wealth to bring the PIMCO Income Fund to more Filipino investors."
The BPI Global Bond Income Feeder Fund is now available via the BPI mobile app, BPI online, and all BPI branches. For more information, visit https://bit.ly/BPIGBIF.
