- PIMCO RAE US Small Fund Institutional Class (PMJIX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in securities of small companies economically tied to the United States; it primarily targets small-cap value stocks, with a portfolio diversified across sectors such as consumer cyclical, financial services, industrials, real estate, and technology, holding approximately 223 issues as of late 2024 including top positions in Sprouts Farmers Market Inc., Allison Transmission Holdings Inc., SLM Corp., Warrior Met Coal Inc., and Dillard's Inc. The fund offers daily pricing in USD, features a net expense ratio of 0.50%, requires a minimum initial investment of $1 million for institutional shares, and maintains total net assets of approximately $1.87 billion with a share class size of $1.34 billion, predominantly allocated to U.S. stocks (98.31%), minimal non-U.S. stock (1.09%), and cash (0.60%). Launched on June 5, 2015, and domiciled in the United States, the fund is available for sale exclusively in the U.S. and managed by Robert Arnott since April 15, 2015, and Christopher Brightman since the same date.
PIMCO, founded in 1971 and headquartered in Newport Beach, California, serves as the fund's investment manager; a subsidiary of Allianz SE, PIMCO operates globally with offices across the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East, providing active fixed income, equity, real assets, and alternative investment strategies to institutional, financial advisor, and individual clients. The PIMCO RAE US Small Fund Institutional Class falls within PIMCO's Research Affiliates Equity (RAE) suite, employing a systematic Fundamental Index approach to small-cap equity investing.
In recent developments, PIMCO has expanded its private strategies through fundraising exceeding $7 billion for a new asset-based finance strategy in December 2025 and over $2 billion added to its asset-based private lending strategy in October 2024, alongside closing a record €1.8 billion European data center fund in December 2025; the firm formed a strategic partnership with KKR and Harley-Davidson in July 2025 to invest in Harley-Davidson Financial Services, unlocking $1.25 billion in cash for the motorcycle company, and announced a new partnership with Aditum in June 2025 to offer PIMCO Income strategies via UAE-registered feeder funds. These initiatives reflect PIMCO's broader push into private credit, asset-based finance, real estate, and regional wealth management expansions amid navigating 2025 market uncertainties, including adjustments to duration, credit exposure, and emerging markets positioning in its income strategies. No specific changes, such as mergers, name alterations, or strategy overhauls, were reported for the PIMCO RAE US Small Fund itself in the last 1-2 years.
