Comment
Despite a drop in its average score levels this year, PIMCO still manages to improve upon its performance relative to the other providers, garnering six of seven possible top five spots on the survey league tables. A notable area of particular excellence is the category of new ideas and solutions, where PIMCO’s average score of 4.36 out of a possible 5.00 is within a whisper of the top score.
