EMNT is actively managed and seeks to provide higher current income than the average money market mutual fund by holding a hodgepodge of high-quality and ultra-short-term USD-denominated debt issued by domestic or foreign issuers. EMNT looks to avoid investment in securities of issuers whose business practices with respect to the environment, social responsibility, and governance practices are not up to satisfaction with PIMCOs proprietary assessments. PIMCO may engage with issuers whose ESG practices are considered suboptimal with the expectation practices may improve through the engagement. The fund, which aims to keep the average duration under 1 year and seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average of less than 3 years, holds investment grade securities. Aside from US-based debt, investors are also exposed to US dollar-denominated securities from developed countries and emerging markets.
