“Other Expenses” include interest expense of 5.35%. Interest expense is
borne by the Fund separately from the management fees paid to Pacific Investment Management Company
LLC (“PIMCO”). Excluding interest expense, Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement are 0.74%, 0.84%, 0.89%, 0.99%, 1.14% and 1.89% for Institutional Class, I-2, I-3, Administrative Class, Class A and Class C shares,
respectively. Interest expense is calculated and presented equally across all share classes. As a result, Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement may not match the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets for certain share
classes, as set forth in the Financial Highlights table of the Fund’s prospectus, because the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets is calculated based on the average net assets of the applicable share class.

PIMCO has contractually agreed, through July 31, 2025, to reduce its supervisory and administrative fee for the Fund’s I-3 shares by 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to I-3
shares of the Fund. This Fee Waiver Agreement renews annually unless terminated by PIMCO upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the end of the contract term.
Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Institutional Class, I-2, I-3,
Administrative Class, Class A or Class C shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods
indicated, and then hold or redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio).
A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating
Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 112% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in real estate-linked derivative instruments backed by a portfolio of inflation-indexed
securities and other Fixed Income Instruments. “Fixed Income Instruments” include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector
entities. The Fund may invest in real estate-linked derivative instruments, including swap agreements, options, futures, options on futures and structured notes. The value of real estate-linked derivative
instruments may be affected by risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate. Real estate values can fluctuate due to losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic
conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, property tax rates, regulatory limitations on rents, zoning laws and operating expenses. The Fund may also invest directly in real estate investment trusts
(“REIT”) and in common and preferred securities as well as convertible securities of issuers in real estate-related industries.
The Fund typically will seek to gain exposure to the real estate market by investing in REIT total return swap
agreements. In a typical REIT swap agreement, the Fund will receive the price appreciation (or
depreciation) of a REIT index or portion of an index, from the counterparty to the swap agreement
in exchange for paying the counterparty an agreed-upon fee. Investments in REIT swap agreements
may be susceptible to additional risks, similar to those associated with direct investment in
REITs, including changes in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, revisions to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), changes in interest rates and poor performance by
those managing the REITs. Assets not invested in real estate-linked derivative instruments may be invested in inflation-indexed securities and other Fixed Income Instruments, including derivative Fixed Income
Instruments. In addition, Index derivatives may be purchased with a fraction of the assets that would be needed to purchase the securities directly, so that the remainder of the assets may be invested in Fixed
Income Instruments.
The average portfolio duration of the fixed income portion of this Fund will vary based on PIMCO’s
market forecasts and under normal market conditions is not expected to exceed ten years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. The longer a
security’s duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities (“junk bonds”), as rated by Moody’s Investors Service,
Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”), or, if unrated, as
determined by PIMCO. In the event that ratings services assign different ratings to the same
security, PIMCO will use the highest rating as the credit rating for that security. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar denominated
securities of foreign issuers. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries (this limitation does not apply to investment grade
sovereign debt denominated in the local currency with less than 1 year remaining to maturity, which means the Fund may invest, together with any other investments denominated in foreign currencies, up to 30% of its
total assets in such instruments).
The Fund will normally limit its
foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets. The Fund may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it
primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buybacks or dollar rolls). The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in
preferred securities. The Fund may invest, without limitation, in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, or in mortgage- or asset-backed securities, subject to applicable law
and any other restrictions described in the Fund’s prospectus or Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may
engage in short sales.
Principal
Risks
It is possible to lose money on an investment in the
Fund. Under certain conditions, generally in a market where the value of both real estate derivatives and fixed income securities are declining, the Fund may experience substantial losses. The
principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return, are listed below.
Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will fluctuate in value because of a change in interest rates; a fund
with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than
a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration
Call Risk: the risk that an issuer may exercise its right to redeem a fixed income security earlier than expected (a
call). Issuers may call outstanding securities prior to their maturity for a number of reasons
(e.g.,
declining interest rates, changes in credit spreads and improvements in the issuer’s credit quality). If an issuer calls a security that the Fund has invested in, the Fund may not recoup the full amount of its initial investment or may not
realize the full anticipated earnings
2 Summary Prospectus | PIMCO Funds
Summary
Prospectus
from the investment and may be forced to
reinvest in lower-yielding securities, securities with greater credit risks or securities with other, less favorable features
Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the
counterparty to a derivative contract, or the issuer or guarantor of collateral, is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or
unwilling, to meet its financial obligations
High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as
“junk bonds”) are subject to greater levels of credit, call and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make
principal and interest payments, and may be more volatile than higher-rated securities of similar maturity
Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally
or particular industries
Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, changes in financial condition or
credit rating, financial leverage, reputation or reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services
Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at an advantageous time or price
or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector. Liquidity risk may result from the
lack of an active market, reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make
a market in fixed income securities, and may be magnified in a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income funds may be higher than normal, causing increased
supply in the market due to selling activity
Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments (such as forwards, futures, swaps and structured securities)
and other similar investments, including leverage, liquidity, interest rate, market, counterparty
(including credit), operational, legal and management risks, and valuation complexity. Changes in the value of a derivative or other similar investment may not correlate perfectly with, and may be more sensitive to market events than,
the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the initial amount invested.
Changes in the value of a derivative or other similar instrument may also create margin delivery
or settlement payment obligations for the Fund. The Fund’s use of derivatives or other similar investments may result in losses to the Fund, a reduction in the Fund’s returns and/or increased volatility.
Non-centrally-cleared over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives or other similar investments are also subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations to the other party, as many of
the protections afforded to centrally-cleared derivative transactions might not be available for
non-centrally-cleared OTC derivatives or other similar investments. The
primary credit risk on derivatives or other
similar investments that are exchange-traded or traded through a central clearing counterparty
resides with the Fund's clearing broker or the clearinghouse. Changes in regulation relating to a
registered fund’s use of derivatives and related instruments could potentially limit or impact the Fund’s ability to invest in derivatives, limit the Fund’s ability to employ certain strategies that use derivatives or other
similar investments and/or adversely affect the value of derivatives or other similar investments and the Fund’s performance
Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity or equity-related securities, such as common stocks and preferred
securities, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a
particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity or
equity-related securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities. In addition, preferred securities may be subject to greater credit risk or other risks, such as risks related to deferred and omitted
distributions, limited voting rights, liquidity, interest rates, regulatory changes and special redemption rights
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: the risks of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk, prepayment risk and credit risk. The Fund may invest in any
tranche of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including junior and/or equity tranches (to the extent consistent with the other of the Fund’s guidelines), which generally carry higher levels of the
foregoing risks
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investment
Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than
a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing
reporting, accounting and auditing standards, increased risk of delayed settlement of portfolio
transactions or loss of certificates of portfolio securities, and the risk of unfavorable foreign government actions, including nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, political changes,
diplomatic developments or the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers
Real Estate Risk: the risk that the Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the Fund to
risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning
laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. The Fund’s investments in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject it to management and tax risks. In addition,
privately traded REITs subject the Fund to liquidity and valuation risk
Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment
risk
August 1, 2024 | SUMMARY PROSPECTUS 3
PIMCO
RealEstateRealReturn Strategy Fund
Sovereign Debt
Risk: the risk that investments in fixed income instruments issued by sovereign entities may decline in value as a result of default or other adverse credit
event resulting from an issuer’s inability or unwillingness to make principal or interest payments in a timely fashion
Currency Risk: the risk that foreign (non-U.S.) currencies will change in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the
Fund’s investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies
Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery
or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage,
magnifying gains and losses and causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been
leveraged. This means that leverage entails a heightened risk of loss
Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired
results and that actual or potential conflicts of interest, legislative, regulatory, or tax
restrictions, policies or developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO
and the individual portfolio managers in connection with managing the Fund and may cause PIMCO to restrict or prohibit participation in certain investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund
will be achieved
Inflation-Indexed Security
Risk: the risk that inflation-indexed debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than
inflation (real interest rates). In general, the value of an inflation-indexed security, including TIPS, tends to decrease when real interest rates increase and can increase when real interest rates decrease. Interest payments on
inflation-indexed securities are unpredictable and will fluctuate as the principal and interest are
adjusted for inflation. There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately
measure the real rate of inflation in the prices of goods and services. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed debt security will be considered taxable ordinary income, even though the Fund will not
receive the principal until maturity
Short Exposure Risk: the risk of entering into short sales or other short positions, including the potential loss of more money
than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale or
other short position will not fulfill its contractual obligations, causing a loss to the Fund
Collateralized Loan Obligations Risk: the risk that investing in collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and other similarly structured investments exposes the
Fund to heightened credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, market risk and prepayment and extension risk, as well as the risk of default on the underlying asset. In addition, investments in CLOs carry additional risks
including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be
adequate to make interest or other
payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) risks related to the capability of the servicer of the securitized assets; (iv) the risk that the Fund may invest in tranches of
CLOs that are subordinate to other tranches; (v) the structure and complexity of the transaction and the legal documents may not be fully understood at the time of investment and could lead to disputes with the
issuer or among investors regarding the characterization of proceeds or unexpected investment results; and (vi) the CLO's manager may perform poorly
LIBOR Transition Risk: the risk related to the discontinuation and replacement of the London Interbank Offered Rate
(“LIBOR”). Certain instruments held by the Fund rely or relied in some fashion upon LIBOR. Although the transition process away from LIBOR for most instruments has been completed, some LIBOR use is
continuing and there are potential effects related to the transition away from LIBOR or the
continued use of LIBOR on the Fund, or on certain instruments in which the Fund invests, which
can be difficult to ascertain and could result in losses to the Fund
Please see “Description of Principal Risks” in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Performance Information
The performance information shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average
Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average
annual returns compare with the returns of certain indexes. Absent any applicable fee waivers
and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of
the Fund’s Institutional Class shares. For periods prior to the inception date of I-3 shares (April 27, 2018), performance information shown in the table for that class is based on the performance of the Fund’s Institutional
Class shares, adjusted to reflect the actual expenses paid by that class of shares. The
Administrative Class of the Fund has not commenced operations as of the date of this
prospectus.Performance in the Average Annual Total Returns table for Class A and Class C shares reflects the impact of sales charges.The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an
indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
In addition to the Fund’s performance, the Average Annual Total Returns
table includes performance of: (i) a broad-based securities market index (i.e., a regulatory
index) and (ii) a supplemental index. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. Effective July 24, 2024, the Fund’s regulatory index is the S&P 500 Index. The Fund’s
regulatory index is shown in connection with certain regulatory requirements to provide a broad
measure of market performance. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged market index generally considered representative of the stock market as a whole. The S&P 500 Index is composed of 500 selected common stocks that represent
approximately two-thirds of the

total market value of all U.S. common
stocks. The S&P 500 Index focuses on the large-cap segment of the U.S. equities market. The
supplemental index shown is the Dow Jones U.S. Select Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Total
Return Index. The Dow Jones U.S. Select Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Total Return Index is a subset of the Dow Jones Americas Select Real Estate Securities Index (RESI) and includes only REITs and REIT-like securities. The
objective of the index is to measure the performance of publicly traded real estate securities. The indexes are designed to serve as proxies for direct real estate investment, in part by excluding companies whose
performance may be driven by factors other than the value of real estate.

After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal
marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax
returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the
after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In some cases the return after taxes may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period. After-tax returns are for Institutional Class shares only. After-tax returns for other classes will
vary.
