The PIMCO Strategy The PIMCO MAV Fund is a single manager hedge fund strategy that focuses on volatility as an asset class. Within that orientation, PIMCO believes that there is a multifaceted opportunity set that provides for their ability to generate attractive risk adjusted and absolute returns. A key tenet of their philosophy rests on the fact that large users of options or volatility in different asset classes (rates, FX, equities and commodities) may have diverse, competing, and often, economically irrational motivations which cause persistent inefficiencies. Related to that perspective, they also find opportunities for RV trades between asset classes and the opportunity to structure macro-themed directional trades through risk conditional trades using options. Finally, they overlay a tail hedge over the portfolio. To briefly summarize, the overall strategy includes structural strategies, tactical strategies and a tail hedge overlay.
