Re:
PIMCO Income Strategy Fund II
Files Nos. 333-249436 and
811-21601
Dear Ms. Dubey:
This letter is in response to comments from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) received from you via telephone regarding the Registration Statement on Form N-2 (the “Registration Statement”) of PIMCO Income Strategy Fund II (the “Fund”), which was
filed with the SEC on October 9, 2020. The below response will be reflected, to the extent applicable, in Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 (“PEA 1”) to the Fund’s Registration Statement.
The following sets forth the Staff’s comments and the Fund’s responses thereto.
Comment 1: Under the “Portfolio Contents” sections of the summary prospectus and the prospectus, please revise the first
sentence of the “Temporary defensive investments” section to state the following: “In attempting to respond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions, as determined by PIMCO, when PIMCO deems it appropriate to do so,
the Fund may, for temporary defensive purposes, deviate from its investment strategy by investing some or all of its total assets in investments such as high grade debt securities, including high quality, short-term debt securities, and cash and
cash equivalents.”
Response: The disclosure has been revised accordingly.
