# PIMCO: Stewards of Investment

Christian Stracke, President PIMCO

Transcript: PIMCO: Stewards of Investment

Christian Stracke:

We are in a moment of radical change in technology and finance. Those will bring radical risks and radical new opportunities.

[TITLE CARD: STEWARDS OF INVESTMENT]

Christian Stracke:

PIMCO's mission is very simple. It is to provide the best investment outcome for clients across public and private markets.

[TITLE CARD: Christian Stracke, President, PIMCO]

Christian Stracke:

You cannot just build a portfolio that works only if everything works out. You have to have a portfolio that seeks downside protection, because in all of the changes that we're seeing, there will be some amazing winners and there will be some losers.

[TITLE CARD: Fernando Rivas, CEO, WF Corporate & Investment Banking]

Fernando Rivas:

Investors trust PIMCO because they can construct their clients’ portfolios to be resilient. PIMCO is one of the largest active fixed income asset managers in the world. They turn to WF as a financial partner that can match that scale, that complexity.

Christian Stracke:

It really is a partnership around complementary capabilities. WF is a real leader in providing innovative solutions to asset managers. Our clients can take advantage of this emerging change.

Fernando Rivas:

WF has one of the top investment grade and leverage finance franchises on Wall Street. Our corporate and commercial banking customers seek to access the fixed income markets. There is a natural partnership between WF as we bring issuers to market and PIMCO as they seek to invest in those new issues. And we both have the staying power and the wisdom to support our clients in their needs as they evolve. We're scanning the horizons to make sure that we're capturing all the opportunities for our clients.

Christian Stracke:

We want to be able to look back and say that we have brought clients these opportunities in these times of change, but also helped clients understand the risks along the way. We are a trusted set of hands.
