Basic Primer on Bond Duration and Management
Duration. Bonds. Boring. Most people I know hit the snooze button about ten extra times and then going back to sleep before fixed income class. I mean really, how could you not? Bonds are a snooze fest much of the time and require all kinds of weird math and numbers. Then there are these stupid...
Returns on Stocks Going Forward: Will our Generation ever Retire?
Bill Gross, the famous bond manager who founded PIMCO , has a new article out where he argues that we shouldn't expect much in the way of equity returns over the next few decades. Although you might think that he would use this as a chance to plug bond investing, you'd be wrong: he doesn't think...

Is an advisory role at PIMCO considered middle office, back office or front office ? What would be the expected total comp for a VP and how difficult are those roles to get versus PM roles?

Basically this is the thing: I have 2 BB FO internships so far, and will start doing some part-time internship (9-10 months, only 10h/week to support paying my studies) at a good company (Fidelity, Wellington, PIMCO) in a random back office department (administration-, marketing-, sales-support,...

Be Careful With Commodities
PIMCO is one of the most trusted names in investing. Let's face it, the majority of the public (hell, most people working on Wall Street) lacks the sophistication to invest on their own. Funds of all shapes and sizes, as well as, bonds make up the brunt of the average investor's market related...
PIMCO Schools Morgan Stanley
Rumor has it that PIMCO is considering a name change to PIMpCO after the bitchslapping they doled out to Morgan Stanley last month. Morgan Stanley's Edward Glenn Hadden is limping away from the inflation-based street fight with the pension giant, and it got ugly. Pay attention, kids. This is what...
BofA to Settle for $8.5 Billion
We all remember those cartoons we watched as kids. There would always be a scene that exemplified the tip of the iceberg. Usually some clown would holler in a mountain range causing an avalanche or something to that effect. The comedic high jinks which ensued were both entertaining and note worthy....
El-Erian: DSK Scandal Could Cause Default
PIMCO 's Mohamed El-Erian thinks Dominique Strauss-Kahn's arrest could lead to a sovereign default in the Euro Zone.

Putbacks: PIMCO, Blackrock, NY Fed Want a Mulligan
Remember how cool it was to get a do-over when you screwed up as a kid? Or how much you loved the teachers who just threw out your lowest grade of the year and didn't count it?

El-Erian Predicts 2010 Hangover
Pimco CEO Mohamed El-Erian can move markets all by himself. With almost $1 TRILLION in AUM, the guy needs to be right more often than he's wrong. So when he says the party is almost over and compares the rally in the market to a 6-year old binging on Snickers bars at a birthday party, we'd probably...

MBA prestige and recruiting (PIMCO)
This is from 2007, so it's a bit outdated, but it shows the MBA recruiting schedule for PIMCO and the divisions they're hiring for at each campus.

PIMCO : Product vs. Account vs. Portfolio Mgmt
