PIMCO Corporate & Income Strategy Fund (NYSE: PCN) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company that seeks to maximize current income while preserving capital and, secondarily, achieving long-term growth of capital. Listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the fund provides investors with actively managed exposure to global fixed-income markets through a pooled vehicle structure that can trade at premiums or discounts to net asset value.

Its portfolio may also include convertible securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and other income-producing instruments. While the emphasis is on U.S. corporate credit, the fund retains the flexibility to take opportunistic positions in select non-U.S. markets when risk-return prospects align with its mandate.
Portfolio management and research for PCN are provided by PIMCO, a global investment manager founded in 1971 and headquartered in Newport Beach, California, with offices in Europe, Asia and the Americas. The fund draws upon PIMCO’s multi-manager, team-based approach, leveraging sector specialists and macroeconomic analysts to identify credit opportunities, manage interest rate and credit risks, and implement portfolio hedges when necessary.
To enhance its income potential, the fund may use leverage through secured borrowings and derivative instruments in accordance with regulatory limits.
