PIMCO Dynamic Income Strategy Fund (NYSE: PDX) is a closed-end management investment company that seeks current income as its primary objective and capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The fund employs a dynamic asset allocation strategy across multiple sectors in the global public and private credit markets, including corporate debt; mortgage-related and other asset-backed instruments; government and sovereign debt; taxable municipal bonds; and other fixed-, variable- and floating-rate income-producing securities of U.S. and foreign issuers, including emerging market issuers and real estate-related investments. It may invest without limitation in investment-grade and below investment-grade debt securities, including those of stressed, distressed, or defaulted issuers, as well as common stocks or other equity securities issued by public or private issuers.
Incorporated in 2018 and listing on the New York Stock Exchange in 2019, the fund is managed by PIMCO, a global fixed income investment manager founded in 1971 and headquartered at 650 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California. PIMCO, owned by Allianz S.E., oversees the fund's portfolio through a team including Alfred T. Murata, Giang Bui, Greg E. Sharenow, John M. Devir, Daniel J. Ivascyn, and Mark R. Kiesel. The fund targets income-oriented investors and trades at a discount or premium to its net asset value, with operations focused on U.S. markets but extending to global credit opportunities.
In November 2023, the fund underwent significant changes, including a name change to PIMCO Dynamic Income Strategy Fund, a ticker symbol shift to PDX, updates to investment objectives and guidelines, and adjustments to the portfolio manager lineup, all of which became effective that month. More recently, in November 2025, it announced a management change, reflecting ongoing portfolio oversight evolution. Institutional investors such as Saba Capital Management have actively traded shares, including acquisitions totaling millions in late 2024 and sales in 2025, underscoring sustained interest amid the fund's high distribution yield.
