Pimco also has become a more active real estate investor after its parent, Allianz SE, put the firm in charge of managing its Allianz Real Estate investment business. Between its own investments and those made by Allianz, Pimco acquired $12 billion in private commercial property between January 2020 and June 2021. The combined Pimco and Allianz real-estate business also originated or invested in $7 billion in real-estate loans during that time.
