Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper
copies of the Fund's annual and semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Fund or from your financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank. Instead,
the reports will be made available on the Fund's website, pimco.com/literature, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and
you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically by visiting pimco.com/edelivery or by contacting your financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or
bank.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you own these shares
through a financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank, you may contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly with the Fund, you can inform the
Fund that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by calling 888.87.PIMCO (888.877.4626). Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with the fund complex if you invest directly with the
Fund or to all funds held in your account if you invest through a financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank.
Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund's prospectus, which, as supplemented, contains more information about the Fund and its risks. You can find the Fund's prospectus, reports to
shareholders and other information about the Fund online at http://investments.pimco.com/prospectuses. You can also get this information at no cost by calling 888.87.PIMCO or by sending an email request to piprocess@dstsystems.com. The Fund's
prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, both dated October 31, 2019, as supplemented, are incorporated by reference into this Summary Prospectus.
Investment Objective

1 "Other Expenses" include expenses incurred by the Fund in the normal course of its operations together with recoupment of management fees previously waived or reimbursed to the Fund. Such expenses are
borne by the Fund separately from the management fees paid to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO").
2 Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses include interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO
Funds of 0.05%. Interest expense can result from certain transactions within the Underlying PIMCO Funds and is separate from the management fees paid to PIMCO. Excluding interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds, Total Annual Fund Operating
Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement are 0.16%, 0.41%, 0.66% and 0.91% for Institutional Class, Administrative Class, Class A and Class R shares, respectively.
3 Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not match the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets Excluding Waivers of the Fund, as set forth in the Financial Highlights table of the Fund's prospectus,
because the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets Excluding Waivers reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.
4 PIMCO has contractually agreed, through October 31, 2020, to waive a portion of the Fund's supervisory and administrative fees, or reimburse the Fund, to the extent that the Fund's organizational
expenses, pro rata share of expenses related to obtaining or maintaining a Legal Entity Identifier and pro rata share of Trustee fees exceed 0.0049% (the "Expense Limit") (calculated as a percentage of average daily net assets attributable to each
class). This Expense Limitation Agreement will automatically renew for one-year terms unless PIMCO provides written notice to PIMCO Equity Series at least 30 days prior to the end of the then current term. In any month in which the investment
advisory contract or supervision and administration agreement is in effect, PIMCO is entitled to reimbursement by the Fund of any portion of the supervisory and administrative fee waived or reimbursed as set forth above (the "Reimbursement Amount")
during the previous thirty-six months from the time of the waiver, provided that such amount paid to PIMCO will not: 1) together with any organizational expenses, pro rata share of expenses related to obtaining or maintaining a Legal Entity
Identifier and pro rata Trustee fees, exceed, for such month, the Expense Limit (or the amount of the expense limit in place at the time the amount being recouped was originally waived if lower than the Expense Limit); 2) exceed the total
Reimbursement Amount; or 3) include any amounts previously reimbursed to PIMCO.
Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Institutional Class, Administrative Class, Class A or Class R 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 redeem all your shares at the end of

Investors may pay brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of Institutional Class shares of the Fund, which are not
reflected in the Example. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

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 16% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The PIMCO REALPATH® Blend 2050 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 2050, 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, or
related derivatives on any of the preceding securities mentioned. 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 series of PIMCO Funds sub-advised by Gurtin Municipal Bond Management ("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.
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.

Table of Contents
REALPATH® Blend Glide
Path
As the Fund reaches the target year indicated in the Fund's name, it may 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 the Fund and its shareholders. Prior to any combination, which may 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 expects to 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 intends to utilize these hedging
transactions once the Fund is within 10 years of the target retirement date or at such other times as deemed appropriate by PIMCO. However, there can be no assurance that the Fund's hedging transactions will be effective.
Once the risk hedging strategies have been determined, PIMCO then 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 lose money 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 lose money
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
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 investment objectives
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.
New Fund Risk: the risk that a new fund's performance may not represent how the fund is expected to or may
perform in the long term. In addition, new funds have limited operating histories for investors to evaluate and new funds may not attract sufficient assets to achieve investment and trading efficiencies
Small Fund Risk: the risk that a smaller Fund may not achieve investment or trading efficiencies.
Additionally, a smaller Fund may be more adversely affected by large purchases or redemptions of Fund shares
Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity 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 securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities
Value Investing Risk: a value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by
PIMCO if it continues to be undervalued by the market or the factors that the portfolio manager believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur
Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income
securities will decline in value because of an increase 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
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 (e.g., 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 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 lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security,
or the counterparty to a derivative contract, 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 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 with respect to the issuer's continuing
ability to make principal and interest payments. Distressed companies may be engaged in restructurings or bankruptcy proceedings
Market Risk: the risk that the
value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries
Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a
security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and 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 illiquid 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, and may be magnified in a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, causing increased supply
in the market due to selling activity
Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative
instruments (such as futures, swaps and structured securities), including leverage, liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or valuation complexity. Changes in the value of the derivative 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. The Fund's use of derivatives may result in losses to the Fund, a reduction in
the Fund's returns and/or increased volatility. Over-the-counter ("OTC") derivatives 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 OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded on an exchange or through a central counterparty, credit risk resides with the Fund's clearing broker, or the clearinghouse
itself, rather than with a counterparty in an OTC derivative transaction. Changes in regulation relating to a mutual 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 and/or adversely affect the value of derivatives and the Fund's performance
Commodity Risk: the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to
greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a
particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments
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
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 markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, increased risk of delayed settlement of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates of portfolio securities,
and the risk of unfavorable foreign government actions, including nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. 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 losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply
and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. The Fund's investments in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject it to management and tax risks. In addition,
privately traded REITs 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 event 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 will change in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect 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, or 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
Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Company Risk: the risk that the value of securities issued by small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies may go up or down, 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 legislative, regulatory, or tax restrictions, policies or developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no
guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved
Short Exposure Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the
potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and
|

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | PIMCO EQUITY SERIES
|
Table of Contents
the risk that the third party to the short sale 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, 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 and credit risk
Exchange-Traded Fund Risk: the risk that an exchange-traded fund may not track the performance of the index it is designed to track, 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
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 a
broad-based securities market index. 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. The Class R shares of the Fund have
not commenced operations as of the date of this prospectus. 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.
The Fund's broad-based securities market index is the S&P Target Date 2050 Index. 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.

1 After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and
local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k)
plans or individual retirement accounts. In some cases the return after taxes may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period. After-tax returns are for
Institutional Class shares only. After-tax returns for other classes will vary.

Class A and Class R
The minimum initial investment for Class A shares of the Fund is $1,000. The minimum subsequent investment
for Class A shares is $50. The minimum initial investment may be modified for certain financial firms that submit orders on behalf of their customers. You may purchase or sell (redeem) all or part of your Class A shares through a
broker-dealer, or other financial firm, or, if you are the registered owner of the shares on the books of the Fund, by regular mail to PIMCO Equity Series, P.O. Box 219294, Kansas City, MO 64121-9294 or overnight mail to PIMCO Equity
Series, c/o DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc., 430 W. 7th Street, STE 219294, Kansas City, MO 64105-1407. The Fund reserves the right to require payment by wire or U.S. Bank check in connection with accounts opened directly with the Fund by
Account Application.
There is no
minimum initial or minimum subsequent investment in Class R shares because Class R shares may only be purchased through omnibus
accounts for specified benefit plans. Specified benefit plans that wish to invest directly by mail should send a check payable to the
PIMCO Family of Funds, along with a completed Account Application, by regular mail to PIMCO Equity Series, P.O. Box 219294, Kansas
City, MO 64121-9294 or overnight mail to PIMCO Equity Series, c/o DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc., 430 W. 7th Street, STE 219294,
Kansas City, MO 64105-1407.
Tax Information
The Fund's distributions are generally taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or a combination of
the two, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, in which case distributions may be taxable upon withdrawal.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Firms
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial firm (such as a bank), the Fund and/or
its related companies (including PIMCO) may pay the financial firm for the sale of those shares of the Fund and/or related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial firm and your
salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial firm's Web site for more information.
