This Chart Shows The Major Problems Bill Gross Was Having At PIMCO Before He Left

PIMCO's flagship Total Return Fund saw $3.9 billion in net outflows August, according to Morningstar.

That was the 16th straight month of net outflows for a cumulative total amount of about $68 billion.

This is part of the legacy that CIO Bill Gross leaves behind as he heads to Janus Capital.

PIMCO has attracted a lot of attention in recent months, largely due to the unexpected departure of CEO Mohamed El-Erian and revelations of Gross's unorthodox management style.

Despite the outflows, PIMCO's fund continues to be massive with $221.6 billion in assets under management as of August 31.
