companies. The elements of such services may include one or more of the following:
1. Assisting the client in the development and subsequent modification of appropriate investment
objectives, guidelines, and restrictions;
2. Determining an appropriate investment strategy, consistent with the investment objectives,
guidelines, and restrictions established
by the client, and reviewing and modifying such strategy
through meetings and consultations with the client or its agents from time to time;
3. Implementing the investment strategy through purchase and sale of securities and/or other financial
instruments, the exercise of options, warrants, and subscription rights, and the investment and re-
investment of cash balances for the client’s account;
4. Providing information and instructions to the custodian (or trustee) of the client’s account so that
transactions for the account are settled in an accurate and timely manner, and reconciling its records
with those of the custodian (or trustee) on a periodic basis;
5. Monitoring the individual instruments held in the account so that the individual instruments and the
overall portfolio remain consistent with the investment strategy for the account as well as the client’s
investment objectives, guidelines, and restrictions;
6. Furnishing reports to the client on a periodic basis concerning account activity and performance;
7. Providing non-discretionary investment advisory services; and
8. Retail and institutional fund distribution business.
AllianzGI AP does not provide all of the services listed above to all clients. AllianzGI AP offers investment
management and investment advisory services for equity, fixed income, and multi-assets accounts. In
most instances, client accounts are managed on a fully discretionary basis, subject to that client’s
investment objectives, guidelines and restrictions.
AllianzGI AP also provides investment advisory and/or administration services to certain affiliates.
