Example.  The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Institutional Class or Class A shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated, and then hold or redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

If you redeem your shares at the end of each period: 

	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Institutional Class	$54	$172	$301	$676
Class A	$644	$847	$1,066	$1,695

If you do not redeem your shares: 

	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	$644	$847	$1,066	$1,695

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 37% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The PIMCO REALPATH® Blend 2035 Fund (the "Fund") is intended for investors seeking professional management of a comprehensive asset allocation strategy for retirement savings. The Fund is managed for shareholders that plan to retire or begin withdrawing assets around the year 2035, the Fund's target year. This is the "self-elected" year of retirement for the investors in the Fund. The primary difference between the PIMCO REALPATH® Blend Funds is their asset allocation, which varies depending on the number of years left until the "self-elected" year of retirement indicated in the PIMCO REALPATH® Blend Fund's name. The Fund's allocation is intended to meaningfully reduce risk and increasingly focus on preservation of capital as the target retirement date of the Fund nears. An investment in the Fund is not guaranteed, and you may experience losses, including losses near, at, or after the target year indicated in the Fund's name. There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide adequate income at and through your retirement.

In managing the Fund, PIMCO uses a three-step approach consisting of 1) developing and re-evaluating a long-term asset allocation "glide path"; 2) allocating between fixed income and equity exposures; and 3) utilizing hedging techniques to manage risks.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in a combination of affiliated and unaffiliated funds that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), equity securities, Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities and credit qualities, or related derivatives, such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements on any of the preceding securities mentioned. The "total return" sought by the Fund generally may consist of income earned on the Fund's investments, plus capital appreciation, if any, which may arise from decreases in interest rates, foreign currency appreciation, or improving credit fundamentals for a particular sector or security. The Fund may invest in Institutional Class or Class M shares of any funds of the PIMCO Equity Series (the "Trust") and PIMCO Funds, and in other affiliated funds, including funds of PIMCO ETF Trust, except funds of funds and PIMCO California Municipal Intermediate Value Fund, PIMCO California Municipal Opportunistic Value Fund, PIMCO National Municipal Intermediate Value Fund and PIMCO National Municipal Opportunistic Value Fund ("Underlying PIMCO Funds"), and unaffiliated funds that are registered under the 1940 Act (collectively, "Acquired Funds"). Under normal circumstances, the Fund seeks to invest substantially all of its equity exposure in index tracking securities, including investments in affiliated or unaffiliated investment companies, which will be registered under the 1940 Act, or related derivatives on such securities or indexes. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Fund will invest in such funds, securities, instruments and other investments to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, or any exemptive relief therefrom. To the extent the Fund invests in Underlying PIMCO Funds, PIMCO expects to select such Underlying PIMCO Funds without considering or canvassing the universe of available unaffiliated Acquired Funds.

The Fund's long-term asset allocations are based on a "glide path" developed by PIMCO and are based on quantitative and qualitative data relating to various risk metrics, long-term market trends, correlation of asset types and actuarial assumptions of life expectancy and retirement. The Fund's current glide path asset allocation is based on its target date, which is the year in the name of the Fund. The target date assumes a retirement age of 65, and time horizons based on current longevity of persons reaching retirement in average health. Choosing a PIMCO REALPATH® Blend Fund targeting an earlier date represents a more conservative choice; choosing a PIMCO REALPATH® Blend Fund targeting a later date represents a more aggressive choice. The glide path is designed not only to reduce risk as the target retirement date nears, but is also designed to provide investors diversification across a variety of asset classes. The glide path changes over time, generally becoming more conservative as the Fund approaches the target date. As the Fund approaches the target year indicated in the Fund's name, the total expense ratio of the Fund is expected to increase due to changes in expenses attributable to the Fund's Acquired Fund investments.

The chart below shows the glide path and illustrates how the allocation among the asset classes changes before and at the target date. The glide path allocation at the target date remains constant beyond that date. PIMCO may choose to modify the target asset allocations of the glide path itself from time to time. The Fund intends to rebalance its portfolio's asset allocation to that of the glide path on a monthly basis.  

As the Fund reaches the target year indicated in the Fund's name, it is anticipated that it will be combined with the PIMCO REALPATH® Blend Income Fund, provided that the Board of Trustees determines that the combination would be in the best interests of both Funds and their respective shareholders. Prior to any combination, which is anticipated to occur on or after the target year indicated in the Fund's name, the Fund will provide shareholders with advance notice regarding the combination. If and when such a combination occurs, shareholders of the Fund will become shareholders of the PIMCO REALPATH® Blend Income Fund.

As part of its investment process, PIMCO may seek to reduce exposure to certain risks by implementing various hedging transactions. These hedging transactions seek to reduce a Fund's exposure to certain severe, unanticipated market events that could significantly detract from returns. PIMCO may utilize these hedging transactions, such as through

the use of equity index put options, at such times as deemed appropriate by PIMCO. However, there can be no assurance that the Fund's hedging transactions will be effective.

PIMCO evaluates various combinations of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, securities, instruments and other investments to obtain the desired exposures and invests accordingly. Summary information about the Underlying PIMCO Funds can be found in the Fund's prospectus. More complete information about the Underlying PIMCO Funds can be found in the Underlying PIMCO Funds' prospectuses, statements of additional information and financial reports. Additional Underlying PIMCO Funds may be added or deleted in the future without notice.

Principal Risks

It is possible to experience losses on an investment in the Fund. The Fund is generally subject to a different level and amount of risk which is relative to its target date and time horizon. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include risks from direct investments and/or indirect exposure through investment in Acquired Funds. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return, are listed below.

The following risks are principal risks of investing in the Fund.

Allocation Risk:  the risk that the Fund could experience losses as a result of less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions. The Fund could miss attractive investment opportunities by underweighting markets that subsequently experience significant returns and could lose value by overweighting markets that subsequently experience significant declines. There is no guarantee that the Fund's asset allocation strategy will be successful or that the markets in which the Fund invests will perform as expected

Acquired Fund Risk:  the risk that the Fund's performance is closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by the Acquired Funds and that the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective will depend upon the ability of the Acquired Funds to achieve their respective investment objectives. Investments in Acquired Funds that are exchange-traded funds are also subject to market risk, tracking error, the potential for trading at a discount or premium to their net asset value, bid/ask spread costs as well as the risks of the underlying securities they hold. In addition, the Fund's performance will be reduced by the Fund's proportionate amount of the expenses of any Acquired Funds in which it invests

The following risks are principal risks of investing in the Fund that include risks from direct investments and/or indirect exposure through investment in Acquired Funds.

Equity Risk:  the risk that the value of equity or equity-related securities such as common stocks and preferred securities, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity or equity-related securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities. In addition, preferred securities may be subject to greater credit risk or other risks, such as

risks related to deferred and omitted distributions, limited voting rights, liquidity, interest rates, regulatory changes and special redemption rights

Value Investing Risk:  the risk that value stocks may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by PIMCO if they continue to be undervalued by the market or the factors that PIMCO believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur

Interest Rate Risk:  the risk that fixed income securities will fluctuate in value due to changes or the anticipation of changes in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration. Factors such as government and central bank policy, inflation, the economy, and the market for bonds can impact interest rates and yields

Call Risk:  the risk that an issuer may exercise its right to redeem a fixed income security earlier than expected (a call). Issuers may call outstanding securities prior to their maturity for a number of reasons including declining interest rates, changes in credit spreads and improvements in the issuer's credit quality. If an issuer calls a security that the Fund has invested in, the Fund may not recoup the full amount of its initial investment or may not realize the full anticipated earnings from the investment and may be forced to reinvest in lower-yielding securities, securities with greater credit risks or securities with other, less favorable features

Credit Risk:  the risk that the Fund could experience losses if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, the counterparty to a derivative contract or a repurchase agreement, a borrower of portfolio securities or the issuer or guarantor of collateral, is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to meet its financial obligations

High Yield and Distressed Company Risk:  the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") and securities of distressed companies may be subject to greater levels of market, credit, issuer and liquidity risks. Securities of distressed companies include both debt and equity securities. High yield securities and debt securities of distressed companies are considered primarily speculative by rating agencies with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. Distressed companies may be engaged in restructurings, bankruptcy proceedings or other financial difficulties, which may cause the value of their securities to fluctuate rapidly or unpredictably

Market Risk:  the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to a variety of factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries or sectors, including geopolitical events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social or political unrest, and the imposition of or threatened imposition of tariffs and other trade barriers, which could disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets

Issuer Risk:  the risk that the value of a security may decline for reasons related to the issuer, such as management performance, changes in financial condition or credit rating, financial leverage, reputation or reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk:  the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell investments at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector. Liquidity risk may result from the lack of an active market, reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities, credit tightening and may be magnified in changing interest rate environments or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income funds may be higher than normal, causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. The liquidity of the Fund's shares may be constrained by the liquidity of the Fund's portfolio holdings

Derivatives Risk:  the risk of investing in derivative instruments (such as forwards, futures, options, swaps and structured securities) and other similar investments, including leverage, liquidity, interest rate, market, counterparty (including credit), operational, legal and management risks, and valuation complexity. Changes in the value of a derivative or other similar investment may not correlate perfectly with, and may be more sensitive to market events than, the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the initial amount invested. Derivatives used for hedging or risk management may not operate as intended or may expose the Fund to additional risks. Changes in the value of a derivative or other similar instrument may also create margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund. The Fund's use of derivatives or other similar investments may result in losses to the Fund, a reduction in the Fund's returns and/or increased volatility. Non-centrally-cleared over-the-counter ("OTC") derivatives or other similar investments are also subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations to the other party, as many of the protections afforded to centrally-cleared derivative transactions might not be available for non-centrally-cleared OTC derivatives or other similar investments. The primary credit risk on derivatives or other similar investments that are exchange-traded or traded through a central clearing counterparty resides with the Fund's clearing broker or the clearinghouse. Changes in regulations relating to a registered fund's use of derivatives and related instruments could potentially limit or impact the Fund's ability to invest in derivatives, limit the Fund's ability to employ certain strategies that use derivatives or other similar investments and/or adversely affect the value of derivatives or other similar investments and the Fund's performance

Commodity Risk:  the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments and commodities, either directly or indirectly through a subsidiary, may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments or commodities may be affected by changes in overall market movements, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity index volatility, changes in inflation, interest rates, or supply and demand factors affecting a particular industry or commodity market, such as drought, floods, climate changes, weather, livestock disease,

pandemics and public health emergencies, embargoes, taxation, war, terrorism, cyber hacking, economic and political developments, environmental proceedings, tariffs, sanctions, export controls, changes in storage costs, availability of transportation systems, and international economic, political and regulatory developments. Investments in commodities can also present risks associated with transportation and delivery, custody, storage and maintenance, illiquidity, and the unavailability of accurate market valuations of the commodity

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk:  the risks of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk, prepayment risk and credit risk. The Fund may invest in any tranche of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including junior and/or equity tranches (to the extent consistent with the Fund's guidelines), which generally carry higher levels of the foregoing risks

Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investment Risk:  the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller or less developed markets, differing financial reporting, accounting, corporate governance and auditing standards, increased risk of delayed settlement of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates of portfolio securities, and the risk of unfavorable U.S. or foreign government actions, including nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, political changes, diplomatic developments, trade restrictions (including tariffs) or the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Real Estate Risk:  the risk that the Fund's investments in real estate investment trusts ("REITs") or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including risks related to losses from casualty or condemnation, changes in local and general economic conditions, fluctuations in supply and demand, interest rate changes, availability of mortgage financing and refinancing, defaults by borrowers or tenants, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes, insurance costs, lack of availability of insurance coverage, and operating expenses. The Fund's investments in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject it to management and tax risks. In addition, REITs that are privately held or not traded on a national securities exchange may subject the Fund to liquidity and valuation risk

Emerging Markets Risk:  the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Sovereign Debt Risk:  the risk that investments in fixed income instruments issued by sovereign entities may decline in value as a result of default or other adverse credit events resulting from an issuer's inability or unwillingness to make principal or interest payments in a timely fashion

Currency Risk:  the risk that foreign (non-U.S.) currencies may fluctuate in value relative to the U.S. dollar, which can affect the value of

the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Leveraging Risk:  the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, and derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, magnifying gains and losses and causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged. This means that leverage entails a heightened risk of loss. The use of leverage may also increase the Fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes and other market risks

Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Company Risk:  the risk that the value of securities issued by small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to narrow markets and limited managerial and financial resources

Management Risk:  the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that actual or potential conflicts of interest, legislative, regulatory or tax restrictions, policies or developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO in connection with managing the Fund and may cause PIMCO to restrict or prohibit participation in certain investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Exposure Risk:  the risk of entering into short sales or other short positions, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale or other short position will not fulfill its contractual obligations, causing a loss to the Fund

Tax Risk:  the risk that the tax treatment of swap agreements and other derivative instruments, such as commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures, and options on futures, may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect whether income from such investments is "qualifying income" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or otherwise affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions

Subsidiary Risk:  the risk that, by investing in certain Underlying PIMCO Funds that invest in a subsidiary (each a "Subsidiary"), the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with a Subsidiary's investments. The Subsidiaries are not registered under the 1940 Act and may not be subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of a Subsidiary will be achieved

Convertible Securities Risk:  as convertible securities share both fixed income and equity characteristics, they are subject to risks to which fixed income and equity investments are subject. These risks include equity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk

Exchange-Traded Fund Risk:  the risk that an exchange-traded fund may not achieve its investment objective, among other reasons, because of regulatory restrictions, including, for example, exchange rules, market prices of shares of an exchange-traded fund may fluctuate rapidly and materially, or shares of an exchange-traded fund may trade significantly above or below net asset value, any of which may cause losses to the Fund invested in the exchange-traded fund

China Risk:  investing in securities and instruments economically tied to the People's Republic of China (excluding Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan for the purpose of this disclosure) ("PRC") subjects the Fund to certain of the risks of investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities and emerging market securities, as well as other risks including, without limitation, erratic growth, the unavailability of reliable economic or financial data, dependence on exports and international trade, asset price volatility, potential shortage of liquidity and limited accessibility by foreign (non-U.S.) investors (including as a result of sanctions), fluctuations in currency exchange rates, currency devaluation, the relatively small size and absence of operating history of many PRC companies, and the developing nature of the legal and regulatory framework for securities markets, custody arrangements and commerce

Collateralized Loan Obligations Risk:   the risk that investing in collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") and other similarly structured investments exposes the Fund to heightened credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, market risk and prepayment and extension risk, as well as the risk of default on the underlying asset. In addition, investments in CLOs carry additional risks, including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) risks related to the capability of the servicer of the securitized assets; (iv) the risk that the Fund may invest in tranches of CLOs that are subordinate to other tranches; (v) the structure and complexity of the transaction and the legal documents may not be fully understood at the time of investment and could lead to disputes with the issuer or among investors regarding the characterization of proceeds or unexpected investment results; and (vi) the CLO's manager may perform poorly

Contingent Convertible Securities Risk:  the risks of investing in contingent convertible securities, including the risk that interest payments may be cancelled by the issuer or a regulatory authority, the risk of ranking junior to other creditors in the event of a liquidation or other bankruptcy-related event as a result of holding subordinated debt, the risk of the Fund's investment becoming further subordinated as a result of conversion from debt to equity, the risk of the Fund's investment receiving less favorable treatment than equity of the issuer in certain situations, such as during periods of financial distress or regulatory intervention, the risk that principal amount due can be written down to a lesser amount (including potentially to zero), and the general risks applicable to fixed income investments, including interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk, any of which could result in losses to the Fund

Distribution Rate Risk:  the risk that the Fund's distribution rate may change unexpectedly as a result of numerous factors, including changes in realized and projected market returns, fluctuations in market interest rates, Fund performance and other factors

Inflation-Indexed Security Risk:  the risk that inflation-indexed debt securities are subject to the actual or anticipated effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the value of an inflation-indexed security, including U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS"), tends to decrease when real interest rates increase and can increase when real interest rates decrease. Interest payments on inflation-indexed securities are unpredictable and will fluctuate as the principal and interest are adjusted based on the rate of inflation. There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation in the prices of goods and services. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed debt security will be considered taxable ordinary income, even though the Fund will not receive the principal until maturity

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk:  the risk of focusing investments on a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a "diversified" portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The performance information shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of certain indexes. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Institutional Class shares. Performance for Class A shares in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. In addition to the Fund's performance, the Average Annual Total Returns table includes performance of: (i) a broad-based securities market index (i.e., a regulatory index) and (ii) a supplemental index. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. The Fund's regulatory index is the S&P 500 Index. The Fund's regulatory index is shown in connection with certain regulatory requirements to provide a broad measure of market performance. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged market index generally considered representative of the stock market as a whole. The S&P 500 Index is composed of 500

selected common stocks that represent approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all U.S. common stocks. The S&P 500 Index focuses on the large-cap segment of the U.S. equities market. The S&P Target Date 2035 Index is a supplemental index of the Fund. The index seeks to represent a broadly derived consensus for asset allocations that target a particular investment horizon, with asset class exposures driven by a survey of available target date funds for that horizon. These asset class exposures include U.S. large cap, U.S. mid cap, U.S. small cap, international equities, emerging markets, U.S. and international real estate investment trusts, core fixed income, short term treasuries, TIPS, high yield corporate bonds and commodities and are represented by exchange-traded funds in the Index calculation.
