PIMCO High Income Fund Letter to Shareholders

 

May 14, 2010

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

Please find enclosed the annual report for PIMCO Global StocksPLUS® & Income Fund and PIMCO High Income Fund for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

 

Global stock markets rebounded from a deep, extended bear market, advancing at a robust pace during the fiscal year, as signs of economic recovery prompted investors to move capital from cash and government bonds into less-defensive, higher-yielding investments. In this environment, stocks and corporate bonds outperformed government-issued securities. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, a proxy for U.S. equity performance, advanced 49.77% and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index (“MSCI EAFE”) returned 54.44% in U.S. dollar terms. The B of A Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index advanced 61.57%, outpacing both stocks and bonds. The broad bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, returned 7.69% for the fiscal year while the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Bond Index declined 1.18%.

 

The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) continued its accommodative monetary policy during the fiscal year, holding the benchmark rate on loans between member banks at the historic low target rate of 0% to 0.25%. The Fed announced that it was concluding purchases of some $1.25 trillion of Agency mortgage-backed securities and about $175 billion of Agency debt from banks, a policy intended to add to the supply of cash available for lending. Noting that bank lending continues to contract, the Fed stated that it would monitor conditions and employ the policy tools necessary for economic recovery and price stability.

PIMCO Global StocksPLUS® & Income Fund Fund Insights/Performance & Statistics

March 31, 2010 (unaudited)

 

·                  For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, PIMCO Global StocksPLUS® & Income Fund (the “Fund”) returned 138.68% on net asset value (“NAV”) and 155.94% on market price.

·                  The Fund’s exposure to the Morgan Stanley Capital International “Europe, Australasia, Far East” Index (MSCI EAFE) via total return swaps averaged 46% during the fiscal year. The MSCI EAFE Index ended the period with a total return of 54.44%.

·                  The Fund had an average of 53% exposure to the domestic equity market via S&P 500 futures contracts, along with a defensive option strategy that used the premium from written at- or slightly out-of-the money call options to generate income and also purchase out-of-money put options to limit losses. The S&P 500 Index advanced 49.77% for the period. The option strategy detracted from performance as the written calls and purchased puts were adversely affected by the S&P 500 Index’s rally during the fiscal year.

Income and valuation changes were generated in a diversified fixed income portfolio which collateralizes the equity positions. Highlights of the fixed income performance were:

·                  High-yield and investment-grade corporate bonds added significantly to Fund performance, as these securities experienced price appreciation due to the compression of credit spreads during the period.

·                  Exposure to non-Agency mortgages and asset-backed securities, which generated incremental income for the Fund, also benefitted returns as these holdings appreciated due to increased liquidity and government-sponsored programs.

·                  The fixed income portfolio had an average duration of 4.5 years during the fiscal year. Positive duration detracted from returns as the yield on ten-year U.S. Treasuries increased.

·                  An allocation to Agency mortgages contributed to performance as these high-quality assets outperformed like-duration Treasuries.

·                  A yield advantage over LIBOR provided a source of incremental income for the Fund, which was beneficial to performance.

(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (“NAV”) or market price (as applicable) in the specified period. The calculation assumes that all income dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, have been reinvested. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return.

 

Performance at market price will differ from its results at NAV. Although market price returns typically reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as changing views about the Fund, market conditions, supply and demand for the Fund’s shares, or changes in Fund dividends.

 

An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, market price, market yield and NAV will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information only and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a onetime public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are traded in the open market on a stock exchange. NAV is equal to total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily.

 

(2) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly per share dividend (comprised of net investment income) payable to shareholders by the market price per share at March 31, 2010.

PIMCO High Income Fund Fund Insights/Performance & Statistics

March 31, 2010 (unaudited)

 

·                  For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, PIMCO High Income Fund (the “Fund”) advanced 214.85% on net asset value (“NAV”) and 156.33% on market price.

·                  An emphasis on financials, which benefited from recapitalization efforts and balance sheet improvement during the fiscal period, was a significant contributor to performance.

·                  Strong security selection in the consumer cyclical sector, where auto-related credits materially outperformed the broader industry category, benefitted returns.

·                  An underweight position in energy, which lagged the overall market during the fiscal period, contributed to performance.

·                  A below-market weight to consumer non-cyclicals, which underperformed alongside other defensive areas of the market amid the strong credit rally, was a strong contributor to performance.

·                  As real estate bonds posted very robust returns during the fiscal period, led by real estate developers and managers, an underweight position in is sector detracted from performance.

·                  An underweight position in gaming companies, which posted very strong returns during the fiscal period, negatively impacted relative returns.

·                  Exposure to investment grade bonds detracted from performance, as the high-grade market was significantly outpaced by high yield bonds during the fiscal period.

PIMCO Global StocksPLUS® & Income Fund

PIMCO High Income Fund Notes to Schedules of Investments

March 31, 2010 (continued)

 

Notes to Schedules of Investments:

*

Unaudited.

 

(a)

Private Placement–Restricted as to resale and may not have a readily available market. Securities with an aggregate value of $45,316,986 and $320,902,852, representing 36.1% of net assets in Global StocksPLUS® and 21.4% of total investments in High Income, respectively.

 

(b)

Illiquid.

 

(c)

These securities generally pay interest at rates which are periodically pre-determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally either the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the “LIBOR” or the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks, or the certificate of deposit rate. These securities are generally considered to be restricted as the Funds are ordinarily contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent bank and/or borrower prior to disposition. Remaining maturities of senior loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contractual or optional payments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. The interest rate disclosed reflects the rate in effect on March 31, 2010.

 

(d)

144A–Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, typically only to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these securities are not considered to be illiquid.

 

(e)

Delayed-delivery. To be delivered after March 31, 2010.

 

(f)

In default.

 

(g)

Fair-Valued–Securities with an aggregate value of $4,319,510 and $75,917,128, representing 3.4% of net assets in Global StocksPLUS® and 5.1% of total investments in High Income, respectively. See Note 1(a) in the Notes to Financial Statements.

 

(h)

Perpetual maturity. Maturity date shown is the first call date. Interest rate is fixed until the first call date and variable thereafter.

 

(i)

All or partial amount segregated as collateral for futures contracts and swaps.

 

(j)

Non-income producing.

 

(k)

All or partial amount segregated as collateral for reverse repurchase agreements.

 

(l)

Restricted. The aggregate acquisition cost of such securities is $2,102,625 and $68,041,191 in Global StocksPLUS® and High Income, respectively. The aggregate market value of $2,130,039 and $77,154,025 is approximately 1.7% of net assets in Global StocksPLUS® and 5.1% of total investments in High Income, respectively.

 

(m)

Security is subject to a forbearance agreement entered into by High Income which forbears the Fund from taking action to, among other things, accelerate and collect payments on the subject note with respect to specified events of default.

PIMCO Global StocksPLUS® & Income Fund
PIMCO High Income Fund Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2010

 

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

PIMCO Global StocksPLUS® & Income Fund (“Global StocksPLUS®”) and PIMCO High Income Fund (“High Income”), each the “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”, were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on February 16, 2005 and February 18, 2003, respectively. Prior to commencing operations on May 31, 2005 and April 30, 2003, respectively, the Funds had no operations other than matters relating to their organization as non-diversified for Global StocksPLUS® and diversified for High Income, both closed-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder, as amended. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”), serves as the Funds’ Investment Manager and is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“Allianz Global”). Allianz Global is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. The Funds have an unlimited amount of $0.00001 par value per share of common stock authorized.

 

Global StocksPLUS®’s investment objective is to seek total return comprised of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. The Fund normally attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing in equity index derivative instruments relating to U.S. and non-U.S. markets, backed by an actively-managed, low duration (one to three year) debt portfolio with an average credit quality that is investment grade. The Fund currently intends to gain substantially all of its equity index exposure by investing in equity index derivatives based on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International® Europe, Australasia and the Far East Index (the “MSCI EAFE Index”). The Fund also will employ a strategy of writing (selling) call options on U.S. equity indexes, seeking to generate gains from option premiums which may limit the Fund’s gains from increases in the S&P 500 Index. Typically, substantially all the Fund’s assets will be invested in a portfolio of income-producing debt securities and debt-related derivative securities.

 

High Income’s primary investment objective is to seek high current income. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective. The Fund attempts to achieve these objectives by investing in a diversified portfolio of U.S. dollar denominated debt obligations and other income-producing securities that are primarily rated below investment grade.

 

There is no guarantee that the Funds will meet their stated objectives.

 

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:

 

(a) Valuation of Investments

Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services.

 

Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security, are fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, or persons acting at their discretion pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily available. The Funds’ investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price for those securities for which the over-the-counter market is the primary market or for listed securities in which there were no sales. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Exchange-traded futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. Investments initially valued in currencies other than U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed.

 

The prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and these differences could be material to the Funds’ financial statements. Each Fund’s NAV is normally determined as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the NYSE on each day the NYSE is open for business.

 

(b) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

·             Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Funds have the ability to access

·             Level 2 – valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or quotes from inactive exchanges

·             Level 3 – valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation techniques used.

 

The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the year ended March 31, 2010 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. When fair-valuing securities, the Funds utilized option adjusted spread pricing techniques.

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

*  Other Financial Instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedules of Investments, such as futures contracts, swap agreements and forward foreign currency contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the instrument.

 

The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of investments and other financial instruments, which Global StocksPLUS®  held at March 31, 2010, was $1,235,016 and $(469,189), respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of investments which High Income held at March 31, 2010, was $10,971,508. Net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation are reflected on the Statements of Operations.

 

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released ASU 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Funds’ management is in the process of reviewing ASU 2010-06 to determine future applicability.

 

(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Securities purchased and sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis. Interest income adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Facility fees and other fees (such as origination fees) received by the Funds are amortized as income over the expected term of the loan. Commitment fees received by the Funds relating to unfunded purchase commitments are

recorded as other fee income upon receipt. Paydown gains and losses are netted and recorded as interest income on the Statements of Operations.

 

(d) Federal Income Taxes

The Funds intend to distribute all of their taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required. The Funds may be subject to excise tax based on the extent of distributions to shareholders.

 

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Funds’ management has determined that its evaluation has resulted in no material impact to the Funds’ financial statements at March 31, 2010. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

(e) Dividends and Distributions – Common Stock

The Funds declare dividends from net investment income monthly to common shareholders. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. The Funds record dividends and distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These “book-tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as dividends and/or distributions of paid-in-capital in excess of par.

 

(f) Foreign Currency Translation

The Funds’ accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the period; and (2) purchases and sales, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions. The resulting net foreign currency gain (loss) is included in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

 

The Funds do not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Accordingly, such foreign currency gain (loss) is included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. However, the Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain (loss) upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations; such amount is categorized as foreign currency gain (loss) for both financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.

 

(g) Senior Loans

The Funds purchase assignments of, and participations in, Senior Loans originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign commercial bank, insurance company, finance company or other financial institution (the “Agent”) for a lending syndicate of financial institutions (the “Lender”). When purchasing an assignment, the Funds succeed to all the rights and obligations under the loan agreement with the same rights and obligations as the assigning Lender. Assignments may, however, be arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, and the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning Lender.

 

(h) Repurchase Agreements

The Funds enter into transactions with their custodian bank or securities brokerage firms whereby they purchase securities under agreements to resell such securities at an agreed upon price and date (“repurchase agreements”). The Funds, through their custodian, take possession of securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement. Such agreements are carried at the contract amount in the financial statements, which is considered to represent fair-value. Collateral pledged (the securities received), which consists primarily of U.S. government obligations and asset-backed securities, are held by

the custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and the procedures adopted by the Funds require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, be sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.

 

(i) Reverse Repurchase Agreements

In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Funds sell securities to a bank or broker-dealer and agree to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. Generally, the effect of such a transaction is that the Funds can recover and reinvest all or most of the cash invested in portfolio securities involved during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement and still be entitled to the returns associated with those portfolio securities. Such transactions are advantageous if the interest cost to the Fund of the reverse repurchase transaction is less than the returns it obtains on investments purchased with the cash. To the extent a Fund does not cover its positions in reverse repurchase agreements (by segregating liquid assets at least equal in amount to the forward purchase commitment), the Fund’s uncovered obligations under the agreements will be subject to the Fund’s limitations on borrowings. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Funds are obligated to repurchase under the agreements may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Funds’ use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted pending determination by the other party, or their trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Funds’ obligation to repurchase the securities.

 

(j) When-Issued/Delayed-Delivery Transactions

When-issued or delayed-delivery transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Funds will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a designated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations; consequently, such fluctuations are taken into account when determining the net asset value. The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When a security is sold on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds do not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.

 

(k) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities

Investments in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Funds to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. The decline in liquidity and prices of these types of securities may have made it more difficult to determine fair market value. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

 

(l) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises

Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly-owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

(m) Interest Expense

Interest expense relates primarily to the Funds’ liability in connection with reverse repurchase agreements. Interest expense is recorded as it is incurred.

 

(n) Custody Credits on Cash Balances

The Funds benefit from an expense offset arrangement with their custodian bank, whereby uninvested cash balances earn credits which reduce monthly custodian and accounting agent expenses. Had these cash balances been invested in income-producing securities, they would have generated income for the Funds.

 

2. Principal Risks

In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to, among other things, changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit/counterparty risk). The Funds are exposed to various risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, foreign currency, market price and credit/counterparty risks.

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by the Funds are likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is used primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s market price to interest rate (i.e. yield) movements.

 

If the Funds invest directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, they will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including economic growth, changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, the Funds’ investments in foreign currency-denominated securities may reduce the returns of the Funds.

 

The Funds are subjected to elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the U.S., due to concentrated investments in specific industries or investments in foreign issuers located in a specific country or region. Such concentrations will subject the Funds to additional risks resulting from future political or economic conditions in such country or region and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws of currency exchange restrictions affecting such country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies.

 

The market values of equity securities, such as common and preferred stock, or equity-related investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity-related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.

 

The Funds are exposed to credit risk which is the risk of losing money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings.

 

Similar to credit risk, the Funds are exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss to the Funds could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the Funds’ financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Funds’ sub-adviser, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of the Investment Manager, seeks to minimize

2. Principal Risks (continued)

 

the Funds’ counterparty risk by performing reviews of each counterparty and by minimizing concentration of credit risk by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges. Delivery of securities sold is only made once the Funds have received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.

 

The Funds are party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) with select counterparties that govern transactions, over-the-counter derivative and foreign exchange contracts, entered into by the Funds and those counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements contain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements of the Funds.

 

The considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain purchases and sales made on a delayed-delivery basis are governed by Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“Master Forward Agreements”) between the Funds and select counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral.

 

The Funds are also party to Master Repurchase Agreements (“Master Repo Agreements”) with select counterparties. The Master Repo Agreements maintain provision for, initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral.

 

The credit risk associated with certain contracts may be reduced by master netting arrangements to the extent that if an event of default occurs, all amounts with the counterparty are terminated and settled on a net basis. The Funds’ overall exposure to credit risk with respect to transactions subject to master netting arrangements can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.

 

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On September 19, 2008, a proceeding under the Securities Investor Protection Act (“SIPA”) was commenced with respect to Lehman Brothers Inc. (“SLH”), a broker-dealer. A trustee appointed under SIPA is administering the bankruptcy estate of SLH. Lehman Brothers International (Europe) (“LBI”), was placed in administration under the UK Insolvency Act on September 15, 2008. Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. (“LBSF”) filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on October 3, 2008. In connection with these filings, the Lehman Brothers group of companies (collectively “Lehman Brothers”) will be reorganized and/or liquidated in an orderly fashion, subject to court approval. Each Lehman Brothers entity is a separate legal entity that is subject to its own bankruptcy proceeding.

 

The Funds had select holdings, credit default swap agreements, securities and derivatives transactions outstanding with Lehman Brothers entities as issuer, referenced entity, counterparty or guarantor at the time the relevant Lehman Brothers entity filed for protection or was placed in administration. The security holdings, credit default swap agreements, securities and derivatives transactions associated with LBSF as counterparty were written down to their estimated recoverable values. Anticipated losses for securities and derivatives transactions associated with Lehman Brothers have been incorporated as net realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations of the Funds. The remaining balances due from Lehman Brothers are included in receivable from/ payable to broker on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities of the Funds. A facilitated auction occurred on October 10, 2008 comprising multiple pre-approved brokerage agencies to determine the estimated recovery rate for holdings and credit default swap agreements with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. as the referenced entity. These recovery rates, as well as the current value of Senior Lehman bonds, were utilized in determining estimated recovery values for certain holdings.

 

At March 31, 2010 Global StocksPLUS® has an open a payable for overdraft with SLH, a receivable for open swap positions with LBSF and a receivable for overdraft with LBI. High Income paid all outstanding liabilities to LBSF and LBSF returned all cash collateral to High Income on September 23, 2009. At March 31, 2010, High Income has open trade receivables with Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. (“LCPI”) and open payables with SLH, as reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

3. Financial Derivative Instruments

 

Disclosure about derivative instruments and hedging activities require qualitative disclosure regarding objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosure about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosure about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements distinguish between derivatives which are accounted for as “hedges” and those that do not qualify for such accounting. Although the Funds may sometimes use derivatives for hedging purposes, the Funds reflect derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Funds’ Statements of Operations, and such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Derivative notional amounts and values as of March 31, 2010, which are disclosed in the accompanying Notes to the Financial Statements, are indicative of the volume of the Funds’ derivatives activities over the reporting period.

 

(a) Futures Contracts

The Funds use futures contracts to manage their exposure to the securities markets or the movements in interest rates and currency values. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contracts, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contracts are closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contracts at the time they were opened and the value at the time they were closed. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded is simultaneously reversed. The use of futures transactions involves various risks, including the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and underlying hedging assets, and possible inability or unwillingness of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

 

(b) Option Transactions

The Funds purchase and write (sell) put and call options on securities for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or otherwise as part of their investment strategies. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Funds bear the risk of loss of premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid.

 

When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is subsequently marked to market to reflect the market value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as options written in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recorded on the expiration date as a realized gain. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchased transactions, as a realized loss. If a call option written is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option written is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security. In writing an option, the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of a written option could result in the Funds purchasing a security at a price different from its current market value.

 

(c) Swap Agreements

Swap agreements are privately negotiated agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Funds enter into credit default, cross-currency, interest rate, total return, variance and other forms of swap agreements in order to manage their exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency.

 

Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments made or received upon entering into the swap

agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Funds’ Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Funds’ Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Funds are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

 

Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, legal, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks include the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparties to the agreements may default on their obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

 

Credit Default Swap Agreements — Credit default swap agreements involve one party (referred to as the buyer of protection) making a stream of payments to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for the referenced entity, obligation or index. As sellers of protection on credit default swap agreements, the Funds will generally receive from the buyer of protection a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As sellers, the Funds would effectively add leverage to their portfolios because, in addition to their total net assets, the Funds would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

 

If the Funds are sellers of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Funds will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If the Funds are buyers of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Funds will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.

 

Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protection’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Funds use credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Funds own or have exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default.

 

Credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit events. Unlike credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, deliverable obligations in most instances would be limited to the specific referenced obligation as performance for asset-backed securities can vary across deals. Prepayments, principal paydowns, and other writedown or loss events on the underlying mortgage loans will reduce the outstanding principal balance of the referenced obligation. These reductions may be temporary or permanent as defined under the terms of the swap agreement and the notional amount for the swap agreement will be adjusted by corresponding amounts. The Funds use credit default swaps on asset-backed securities to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the referenced obligation or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular referenced obligation’s default.

 

Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall

or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a list of a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of reference credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset backed securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index, or in the case of a tranched index credit default swap, the credit event is settled based on the name’s weight in the index that falls within the tranche for which the Funds bear exposure. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. The Funds use credit default swaps on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds with a credit default swap on indices which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. Credit-default swaps on indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality.

 

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of period end are disclosed later in the Notes to Financial Statements (see 5(c)) and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

 

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Funds as sellers of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of March 31, 2010 for which the Funds are sellers of protection are disclosed later in the Notes to Financial Statements (see 5(c)). These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Funds for the same referenced entity or entities.

 

Interest Rate Swap Agreements — Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Funds with a counterparty of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments, with respect to the notional amount of principal. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels, (iv) callable interest rate swaps, under which the counterparty may terminate the swap transaction in whole at zero cost by a predetermined date and time prior to the maturity date, (v) spreadlocks, which allow the interest rate swap users to lock in the forward differential (or spread) between the interest rate swap rate and a specified benchmark, or (vi) basis swap, under which two parties can exchange variable interest rates based on different money markets.

 

Total Return Swap Agreements — Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Funds will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. The Funds enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency risk arising from the investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Funds also enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or shifting exposure to

foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition, these contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain (loss) reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

4. Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser

 

Each Fund has an Investment Management Agreement (each an “Agreement”) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager is responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, the Funds’ investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to each Agreement, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% of Global StocksPLUS®’s average daily total managed assets and 0.70% of High Income’s average daily net assets, inclusive of net assets attributable to any Preferred Shares that may be outstanding. For Global StocksPLUS®, total managed assets refer to the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to any borrowings that may be outstanding), minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings).

 

The Investment Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to manage the Funds’ investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for making all of the Funds’ investment decisions. The Investment Manager, and not the Funds, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Adviser in return for its services.

†      Credit spread not quoted for asset-backed securities.

(1)  If the Funds are buyers of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Funds will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

5. Investments in Securities (continued)

 

(2)  If the Funds are sellers of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Funds will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

(3)  Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements as of year end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

(4)  The maximum potential amount the Funds could be required to make available as sellers of credit protection or receive as buyers of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

(5)  The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the status at March 31, 2010 of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

Ordinary Income

 

$16,375,113

Long-Term Capital Gains

 

 

19,465,502

 

Return of Capital

 

5,432,962

 

 

 

At March 31, 2010, the Fund had no distributable earnings.

 

For the year ended March 31, 2010, permanent “book-tax” differences were primarily attributable to the differing treatment of foreign currency transactions, swap payments, and paydowns. These adjustments were to decrease dividends in excess of net investment income and increase accumulated net realized loss by $3,342,201.

 

Net investment income and net realized gains differ for financial statement and federal income tax purposes primarily due to the treatment of amounts received under swap agreements. For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Fund received $2,399,267 from swap agreements, which are treated as net realized gain for financial statement purposes and as net income for federal income tax purposes.

 

At March 31, 2010, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $118,242,557 (of which $19,324,632 will expire in 2017 and $98,917,925 will expire in 2018) and is available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of any future net realized gains. To the extent that these losses are used to offset future realized capital gains, such gains will not be distributed.

6. Income Tax Information (continued)

 

At March 31, 2010, the Fund had no distributable earnings.

 

For the year ended March 31, 2010, permanent “book-tax” differences were primarily attributable to the differing treatment of foreign currency transactions, swap payments, consent fees and paydowns. The effect of these adjustments were to decrease dividends in excess of net investment income and increase accumulated net realized loss by $41,004,681.

 

Net investment income and net realized gains differ for financial statement and federal income tax purposes primarily due to the treatment of amounts received under swap agreements. For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Fund received $24,447,142 from swap agreements, which are treated as net realized gain for financial statement purposes and as net income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

 

At March 31, 2010, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $823,260,456 (of which $334,453,948 will expire in 2017 and $488,806,508 will expire in 2018) and is available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of any future net realized gains. To the extent that these losses are used to offset future realized capital gains, such gains will not be distributed.

 

In accordance with U.S. Treasury regulations, the Fund elected to defer realized long term capital losses of $15,368,096, arising after October 31, 2009. Such losses are treated as arising on April 1, 2010.

 

The cost basis of investments for federal income tax and gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments at March 31, 2010 were:

7. Auction-Rate Preferred Shares (continued)

 

Preferred shareholders, who are entitled to one vote per share, generally vote with the common shareholders but vote separately as a class to elect two Trustees and on any matters affecting the rights of the Preferred Shares.

 

Since mid-February 2008, holders of auction-rate preferred shares (“ARPS”) issued by the Fund have been directly impacted by an unprecedented lack of liquidity, which has similarly affected ARPS holders in many of the nation’s closed-end funds. Since then, regularly scheduled auctions for ARPS issued by the Fund has consistently “failed” because of insufficient demand (bids to buy shares) to meet the supply (shares offered for sale) at each auction. In a failed auction, ARPS holders cannot sell all, and may not be able to sell any, of their shares tendered for sale. While repeated auction failures have affected the liquidity for ARPS, they do not constitute a default or automatically alter the credit quality of the ARPS, and ARPS holders have continued to receive dividends at the defined “maximum rate” the higher of the 7 day “AA” Composite Commercial Paper Rate multiplied by 150% (which is a function of short-term interest rates and typically higher than the rate that would have otherwise been set through a successful auction). If the Fund’s ARPS auctions continue to fail and the “maximum rate” payable on the ARPS rises as a result of changes in short-term interest rates, returns for the Fund’s common shareholders could be adversely affected.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Fund redeemed, at their liquidation preference, a portion of its ARPS. The decision to redeem a portion of the Fund’s ARPS was made by the Fund’s Board of Trustees at the recommendation of the Fund’s Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser and was intended to increase asset coverage of the Fund’s ARPS above the 200% Level (subject to future market conditions), permitting the Fund to pay previously declared common share dividends and to declare future common share dividends. The Fund partially redeemed the ARPS at the full liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, up to each series respective dates of redemption.

8. Legal Proceedings

In June and September 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates (including PEA Capital LLC (“PEA”), Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC and Allianz Global Investors of America, L.P.), agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations, claims brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the New Jersey Attorney General alleging violations of federal and state securities laws with respect to certain open-end funds for which the Investment Manager serves as investment adviser. The settlements related to an alleged “market timing” arrangement in certain open-end funds formerly sub-advised by PEA. The Investment Manager and its affiliates agreed to pay a total of $68 million to settle the claims. In addition to monetary payments, the settling parties agreed to undertake certain corporate governance, compliance and disclosure reforms related to market timing, and consented to cease and desist orders and censures. Subsequent to these events, PEA deregistered as an investment adviser and dissolved. None of the settlements alleged that any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Funds.

 

Since February 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in a number of pending lawsuits concerning “market timing,” which allege the same or similar conduct underlying the regulatory settlements discussed above. The market timing lawsuits have been consolidated in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. Any potential resolution of these matters may include, but not be limited to, judgments or settlements for damages against the Investment Manager or its affiliates or related injunctions.

 

In addition, the Sub-Adviser is the subject of a lawsuit in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division in which the complaint alleges that plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when the Sub-Adviser held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. In July 2007, the court granted class certification of a class consisting of those persons who purchased futures contracts to offset short positions between May 9, 2005 and June 30, 2005. The Sub-Adviser currently believes that the complaint is without merit and the Sub-Adviser intends to vigorously defend against this action.

 

The Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory activities relating to the Funds.

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
PIMCO Global StocksPLUS
® & Income Fund and PIMCO High Income Fund

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and of cash flows and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PIMCO Global StocksPLUS® & Income Fund and PIMCO High Income Fund (the “Funds”) at March 31, 2010, the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at March 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and agent banks, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

PIMCO High Income Fund Tax Information (unaudited)

 

 

Tax Information:

Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, requires the Funds to advise shareholders within 60 days of the Funds’ tax year ended March 31, 2010 as to the federal tax status of dividends and distributions received by shareholders during such tax year.

 

Pursuant to the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, High Income designates 4.31% of ordinary dividends paid (or the maximum amount allowable) as qualified dividend income.

 

High Income designates 4.31% or ordinary dividends paid (or the maximum amount allowable) as qualifying for the Dividends Received Deduction.

 

Since the Funds’ tax year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent with respect to calendar year 2010. In January 2011, shareholders will be advised on IRS Form 1099 DIV as to the federal tax status of the dividends and distributions received during calendar 2010. The amount that will be reported will be the amount to use on the Shareholders’ 2010 federal income tax return and may differ from the amount which must be reported in connection with the Funds’ tax year ended March 31, 2010. Shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisers as to the federal, state and local tax status of the dividend income received from the Funds.

PIMCO Global StocksPLUS® & Income Fund
PIMCO High Income Fund Changes in Investment Policies
(unaudited)

 

 

Global StocksPLUS®:

 

Below Investment Grade Securities. Effective December 15, 2009, Global StocksPLUS®’s prior non-fundamental policy limiting the extent to which it could invest in below investment grade securities was rescinded such that Global StocksPLUS® may invest without limit in securities that are, at the time of purchase, rated below investment grade (below Baa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), below BBB by either Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch Ratings”) or unrated but judged by PIMCO to be of comparable quality), and may invest without limit in securities of any rating. Previously, Global StocksPLUS® could invest up to 30% of its total assets in below investment grade debt securities and could not invest in securities that were, at the time of investment, not rated at least B- by one of the agencies rating the securities or that were unrated but judged by PIMCO to be of comparable quality.

 

The potential opportunities provided by lower quality securities in the high yield spectrum carry additional risks. Below investment grade securities are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and to repay principal when due, and are commonly referred to as “high yield” securities or “junk bonds.” See “2. Principal Risks” above for additional discussion of credit risk and other relevant risks.

 

Average Portfolio Duration. Effective December 15, 2009, the duration guideline previously observed by Global StocksPLUS® & Income was revised such that, under the new guidelines, the debt securities in Global StocksPLUS®’s portfolio of debt securities (the “Debt Portfolio”) ordinarily will have a low- to intermediate- average portfolio duration, ranging from one year to a duration that is two years above the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, although it may be longer or shorter at any time or from time to time based on PIMCO’s forecast for interest rates and other factors. A recent duration (as of March 31, 2010) of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index was 4.68 years. Under its prior related guideline, the debt securities in Global StocksPLUS®’s Debt Portfolio ordinarily had a lower average portfolio duration (one to three years).

 

Generally, the longer the average duration of a debt portfolio, the more sensitive the portfolio will be to interest rate risk — i.e., the prices of debt obligations with longer durations typically fall more when market interest rates rise. See “2. Principal Risks” above for additional discussion of interest rate risk and other relevant risks.

 

80% Investment Policy. As announced on April 12, 2010, following the provision of notice to shareholders as described below, Global StocksPLUS® will rescind its existing non-fundamental investment policy to, under normal circumstances, invest in equity index derivative instruments that have economic characteristics similar to U.S. and non-U.S. common stocks and that provide equity index exposure in an amount at least equal to 80% of Global StocksPLUS®’s net assets(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) (the “Current 80% Policy”). At such time, the Current 80% Policy will be replaced with a new non-fundamental policy adopted by Global StocksPLUS® pursuant to which, under normal circumstances, Global StocksPLUS® will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a combination of securities and instruments that provide exposure to stocks and/or produce income (the “New 80% Policy”). For purposes of the New 80% Policy, Global StocksPLUS®’s stock exposure may be obtained through holdings of stocks and/or through the use of index and other derivative instruments that have economic characteristics similar to U.S. and non-U.S. stocks, and Global StocksPLUS®’s exposure to income-producing instruments may be obtained through the use of fixed income and other derivative instruments. Global StocksPLUS®’s New 80% Policy will take effect and replace the Current 80% Policy on or about June 21, 2010, following 60 days’ notice to shareholders.

 

High Income:

 

Below Investment Grade Securities. Effective November 13, 2009, High Income’s non-fundamental investment policy regarding minimum investment in below investment grade securities was revised. Under its revised non-fundamental policy, under normal market conditions, High Income seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing at least 50% of its net assets in debt securities that are, at the time of purchase, rated below investment grade (below Baa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., below BBB by either Standard & Poor’s or Fitch, Inc., or unrated but judged by PIMCO to be of comparable quality), which may be represented by forward contracts or derivatives such as options, futures contracts or

swap agreements. High Income may continue to invest without limit in below investment grade securities. However, the use of the term “high income” in High Income’s name is intended to suggest High Income’s primary objective of seeking high current income and is not intended to suggest any particular type of security or other investment.

 

Effective December 15, 2009, High Income’s policy regarding the extent to which it may invest in certain lower-quality securities was revised such that High Income may not invest more than 20% of its total assets in securities that are, at the time of purchase, rated CCC/Caa or below by each agency rating the security, or unrated but judged by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. High Income previously observed a limit of 10% of its total assets in CCC/Caa or lower quality securities.

 

The potential opportunities provided by lower quality securities in the high yield spectrum carry additional risks. Below investment grade securities are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and to repay principal when due, and are commonly referred to as “high yield” securities or “junk bonds.” See “2. Principal Risks” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional discussion of credit risk and other relevant risks.

 

Non-U.S. Dollar Denominated Securities. Effective April 12, 2010, High Income may invest up to 25% of its total assets (measured at the time of investment) in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities. This replaced High Income’s prior maximum limit with respect to investment in debt instruments denominated in foreign currencies, which was 15% of total assets.

 

Emerging Market Securities. Effective April 12, 2010, High Income’s investment limit with respect to investing in emerging market securities was revised such that High Income may invest up to 10% of its total assets (measured at the time of investment) in securities that are economically tied to emerging market countries. This replaced High Income’s prior limit under which it could invest up to 7.5% of its total assets in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries.

 

Foreign Currency Hedging. In addition, effective April 12, 2010, High Income is no longer subject to its prior investment guideline to normally seek to hedge at least 75% of its exposure to foreign currencies, which guideline has been eliminated.

 

Providing additional flexibility to invest in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities and to have a greater level of unhedged non-U.S. positions could potentially increase High Income’s exposures to foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk and/or foreign currency risk. Foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk may be particularly high with respect to emerging market securities. See “2. Principal Risks” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional discussion of foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk, foreign currency risk and other relevant risks.

 

Effective March 1, 2010, High Income adopted amended and restated by-laws (“By-laws”) that incorporate substantially revised and updated ratings criteria (the “New Fitch Criteria”) issued by Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) applicable to High Income’s outstanding auction rate preferred shares (“Preferred Shares”). The New Fitch Criteria include two separate Preferred Shares asset coverage tests which differ from the single test previously applicable to Fitch’s ratings. Other key components of the New Fitch Criteria include, among others, updated asset discount factors, changes to issuer and industry concentration thresholds and guidelines, and inclusion of certain leverage and derivatives when calculating the Fitch asset coverage tests. The New Fitch Criteria are available on the Fitch website (www.fitchratings.com) and are incorporated by reference into High Income’s By-laws. Furthermore, as announced in a press release dated March 12, 2010, Fitch has reaffirmed the ‘AAA’ rating it assigned to High Income’s Preferred Shares.

PIMCO Global StocksPLUS® & Income Fund

 

3.31.10 | PIMCO High Income Fund Annual Report

PIMCO Global StocksPLUS® & Income Fund
PIMCO High Income Fund Dividend Reinvestment Plan
(unaudited)

 

 

Pursuant to each Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), all Common Shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names will have all dividends, including any capital gain dividends, reinvested automatically in additional Common Shares by PNC Global Investment Servicing, as agent for the Common Shareholders (the “Plan Agent”), unless the shareholder elects to receive cash. An election to receive cash may be revoked or reinstated at the option of the shareholder. In the case of record shareholders such as banks, brokers or other nominees that hold Common Shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of Common Shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder as representing the total amount registered in such shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who are to participate in the Plan. Shareholders whose shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or nominee should contact the bank, broker or nominee for details. All distributions to investors who elect not to participate in the Plan (or whose broker or nominee elects not to participate on the investor’s behalf), will be paid cash by check mailed, in the case of direct shareholder, to the record holder by PNC Global Investment Servicing, as the Funds’ dividend disbursement agent.

 

Unless you elect (or your broker or nominee elects) not to participate in the Plan, the number of Common Shares you will receive will be determined as follows:

 

(1)

If on the payment date the net asset value of the Common Shares is equal to or less than the market price per Common Share plus estimated brokerage commissions that would be incurred upon the purchase of Common Shares on the open market, each Fund will issue new shares at the greater of (i) the net asset value per Common Share on the payment date or (ii) 95% of the market price per Common Share on the payment date; or

 

 

(2)

If on the payment date the net asset value of the Common Shares is greater than the market price per Common Share plus estimated brokerage commissions that would be incurred upon the purchase of Common Shares on the open market, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and will purchase Common Shares in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, for the participants’ accounts. It is possible that the market price for the Common Shares may increase before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases. Therefore, the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the market price on the payment date, resulting in the purchase of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in Common Shares issued by each Fund. The Plan Agent will use all dividends and distributions received in cash to purchase Common Shares in the open market on or shortly after the payment date, but in no event later than the ex-dividend date for the next distribution. Interest will not be paid on any uninvested cash payments.

 

You may withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving notice to the Plan Agent. If you withdraw or the Plan is terminated, you will receive a certificate for each whole share in your account under the Plan and you will receive a cash payment for any fraction of a share in your account. If you wish, the Plan Agent will sell your shares and send you the proceeds, minus brokerage commissions.

 

The Plan Agent maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and gives written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information you may need for tax records. The Plan Agent will also furnish each person who buys Common Shares with written instructions detailing the procedures for electing not to participate in the Plan and to instead receive distributions in cash. Common Shares in your account will be held by the Plan Agent in non-certificated form. Any proxy you receive will include all Common Shares you have received under the Plan.

 

There is no brokerage charge for reinvestment of your dividends or distributions in Common Shares. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Agent when it makes open market purchases.

 

Automatically reinvested dividends and distributions are taxed in the same manner as cash dividends and distributions.

 

The Funds and the Plan Agent reserve the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Funds reserve the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Additional information about the Plan may be obtained from the Funds’ shareholder servicing agent, PNC Global Investment Servicing, P.O. Box 43027, Providence, RI 02940-3027, telephone number (800) 254-5197.

The Registrant’s policy is stated below.

 



 

PIMCO High Income Fund (the “Fund”)

 

AUDIT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE POLICY FOR PRE-APPROVAL OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

 

The Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee (“Committee”) is charged with the oversight of the Fund’s financial reporting policies and practices and their internal controls. As part of this responsibility, the Committee must pre-approve any independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement by the independent accountants, the Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant’s independence. The Committee’s evaluation will be based on:

 

a review of the nature of the professional services expected to provided,

 

the fees to be charged in connection with the services expected to be provided,

 

a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and

 

periodic meetings with the accounting firm.

 

POLICY FOR AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED TO THE FUND

 

On an annual basis, the Fund’s Committee will review and pre-approve the scope of the audit of the Fund and proposed audit fees and permitted non-audit (including audit-related) services that may be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants. At least annually, the Committee will receive a report of all audit and non-audit services that were rendered in the previous calendar year pursuant to this Policy. In addition to the Committee’s pre-approval of services pursuant to this Policy, the engagement of the independent accounting firm for any permitted non-audit service provided to the Fund will also require the separate written pre-approval of the President of the Fund, who will confirm, independently, that the accounting firm’s engagement will not adversely affect the firm’s independence. All non-audit services performed by the independent accounting firm will be disclosed, as required, in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

AUDIT SERVICES

 

The categories of audit services and related fees to be reviewed and pre-approved annually by the Committee are:

 

Annual Fund financial statement audits
Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required)
SEC and regulatory filings and consents
Semiannual financial statement reviews

 

AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

 

The following categories of audit-related services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants and services falling under one of these categories will be pre-approved by the Committee on an annual basis if the Committee deems those services to be consistent with the accounting firm’s independence:

 



 

Accounting consultations
Fund merger support services
Agreed upon procedure reports (inclusive of quarterly review of Basic Maintenance testing associated with issuance of Preferred Shares)
Other attestation reports
Comfort letters
Other internal control reports

 

Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process described above, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm’s independence, by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $250,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

 

TAX SERVICES

 

The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants and services falling under one of these categories will be pre-approved by the Committee on an annual basis if the Committee deems those services to be consistent with the accounting firm’s independence:

 

Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following:

 

Federal, state and local income tax compliance; and, sales and use tax compliance
Timely RIC qualification reviews
Tax distribution analysis and planning
Tax authority examination services
Tax appeals support services
Accounting methods studies
Fund merger support service
Other tax consulting services and related projects

 

Individual tax services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process described above, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm’s independence, by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $250,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

 

PROSCRIBED SERVICES

 

The Fund’s independent accountants will not render services in the following categories of non-audit services:

 

Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund
Financial information systems design and implementation
Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports
Actuarial services
Internal audit outsourcing services
Management functions or human resources

Broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services
Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit

 



 

Any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible

 

PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED TO OTHER ENTITIES WITHIN THE FUND COMPLEX

 

The Committee will pre-approve annually any permitted non-audit services to be provided to Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC or any other investment manager to the Funds (but not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted by the investment manager) (the “Investment Manager”) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Investment Manager that provides ongoing services to the Fund (including affiliated sub-advisers to the Fund), provided, in each case, that the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund (such entities, including the Investment Manager, shall be referred to herein as the “Accounting Affiliates”). Individual projects that are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm’s independence, by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $250,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

 

Although the Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Fund’s independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to the Investment Manager and its affiliates.

 

DE MINIMUS EXCEPTION TO REQUIREMENT OF PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES

 

With respect to the provision of permitted non-audit services to a Fund or Accounting Affiliates, the pre-approval requirement is waived if:

 

 

(1)

The aggregate amount of all such permitted non-audit services provided constitutes no more than (i) with respect to such services provided to the Fund, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its independent accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided, and (ii) with respect to such services provided to Accounting Affiliates, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid to the Fund’s independent accountant by the Fund and the Accounting Affiliates during the fiscal year in which the services are provided;

 

 

 

 

(2)

Such services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement for such services to be non-audit services; and

 

 

 

 

(3)

Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Committee or by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this Committee Chairman or other delegate shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

 

 

 

 

 

e)

2. No services were approved pursuant to the procedures contained in paragraph (C) (7) (i) (C) of Rule 2-01 of Registration S-X.

 

 

 

 

 

 

f)

Not applicable

 

 

 

 

 

 

g)

Non-audit fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to

 



 

 

 

 

the Registrant, and rendered to the Adviser, for the 2009 Reporting Period was $5,282,819 and the 2010 Reporting Period was $4,194,628.

 

 

 

 

 

 

h)

Auditor Independence. The Registrant’s Audit Oversight Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Adviser which were not pre- approved is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence.

1.                                       It is the policy of the Trust that proxies should be voted in the interest of its shareholders, as determined by those who are in the best position to make this determination.  The Trust believes that the firms and/or persons purchasing and selling securities for the Fund and analyzing the performance of the Trust’s securities are in the best position and have the information necessary to vote proxies in the best interests of the Trust and its shareholders, including in situations where conflicts of interest may arise between the interests of shareholders, on one hand, and the interests of the investment adviser, a sub-adviser and/or any other affiliated person of the Trust, on the other.  Accordingly, the Fund’s policy shall be to delegate proxy voting responsibility to those entities with portfolio management responsibility for the Trust.

 

2.                                       The Trust delegates the responsibility for voting proxies to Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (“AGIFM”), which will in turn delegate such responsibility to the sub-adviser of the Trust.  AGIFM’s Proxy Voting Policy Summary is attached as Appendix A hereto.  A summary of the detailed proxy voting policy of PIMCO, the Fund’s current sub-adviser, is set forth in Appendix B attached hereto.  Such summary may be revised from time to time to reflect changes to the sub-adviser’s detailed proxy voting policy.

 

3.                                       The party voting the proxies (i.e., the sub-adviser) shall vote such proxies in accordance with such party’s proxy voting policies and, to the extent consistent with such policies, may rely on information and/or recommendations supplied by others.

 

4.                                       AGIFM and the sub-adviser of the Trust with proxy voting authority shall deliver a copy of its respective proxy voting policies and any material amendments thereto to the applicable Board of the Trust promptly after the adoption or amendment of any such policies.

 

5.                                       The party voting the proxy shall: (i) maintain such records and provide such voting information as is required for the Fund’s regulatory filings including, without limitation, Form N-PX and the required disclosure of policy called for by Item 18 of Form N-2 and Item 7 of Form N-CSR; and (ii) shall provide such additional information as may be requested, from time to time, by the Board or the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer.

 



 

6.                                       This Proxy Voting Policy Statement (including Appendix B), the Proxy Voting Policy Summary of AGIFM and summary of the detailed proxy voting policy of PIMCO, the sub-adviser of the Fund with proxy voting authority, shall be made available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-254-5197 and (ii) on the Trust’s website at www.allianzinvestors.com.  In addition, to the extent required by applicable law or determined by the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer or Board of Directors, the Proxy Voting Policy Summary of AGIFM and summary of the detailed proxy voting policy of PIMCO, the Trust’s sub-adviser with proxy voting authority shall also be included in the Trust’s Registration Statements or Form N-CSR filings.

1.                                       It is the policy of AGIFM that proxies should be voted in the interest of the shareholders of the applicable fund, as determined by those who are in the best position to make this determination.  AGIFM believes that the firms and/or persons purchasing and selling securities for the funds and analyzing the performance of the funds’ securities are in the best position and have the information necessary to vote proxies in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders, including in situations where conflicts of interest may arise between the interests of shareholders, on one hand, and the interests of the investment adviser, a sub-adviser and/or any other affiliated person of the fund, on the other.  Accordingly, AGIFM’s policy shall be to delegate proxy voting responsibility to those entities with portfolio management responsibility for the funds.

 

2.                                       AGIFM, for each fund which it acts as an investment adviser, delegates the responsibility for voting proxies to the sub-adviser for the respective fund, subject to the terms hereof.

 

3.                                       The party voting the proxies (e.g., the sub-adviser) shall vote such proxies in accordance with such party’s proxy voting policies and, to the extent consistent with such policies, may rely on information and/or recommendations supplied by others.

Appendix B

 

PACIFIC INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT COMPANY LLC

 

Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. PIMCO has implemented the Proxy Policy for each of its clients as required under applicable law, unless expressly directed by a client in writing to refrain from voting that client’s proxies. Recognizing that proxy voting is a rare event in the realm of fixed income investing and is typically limited to solicitation of consent to changes in features of debt securities, the Proxy Policy also applies to any voting rights and/or consent rights of PIMCO, on behalf of its clients, with respect to debt securities, including but not limited to, plans of reorganization, and waivers and consents under applicable indentures.

 

The Proxy Policy is designed and implemented in a manner reasonably expected to ensure that voting and consent rights are exercised in the best interests of PIMCO’s clients. Each proxy is voted on a case-bycase basis taking into consideration any relevant contractual obligations as well as other relevant facts and circumstances at the time of the vote. In general, PIMCO reviews and considers corporate governance issues related to proxy matters and generally supports proposals that foster good corporate governance practices. PIMCO may vote proxies as recommended by management on routine matters related to the operation of the issuer and on matters not expected to have a significant economic impact on the issuer and/or its shareholders.

 

PIMCO will supervise and periodically review its proxy voting activities and implementation of the Proxy Policy. PIMCO will review each proxy to determine whether there may be a material conflict between PIMCO and its client. If no conflict exists, the proxy will be forwarded to the appropriate portfolio manager for consideration. If a conflict does exist, PIMCO will seek to resolve any such conflict in accordance with the Proxy Policy. PIMCO seeks to resolve any material conflicts of interest by voting in good faith in the best interest of its clients. If a material conflict of interest should arise, PIMCO will seek to resolve such conflict in the client’s best interest by pursuing any one of the following courses of action: (i) convening a committee to assess and resolve the conflict; (ii) voting in accordance with the instructions of the client; (iii) voting in accordance with the recommendation of an independent third-party service provider; (iv) suggesting that the client engage another party to determine how the proxy should be voted; (v) delegating the vote to a third-party service provider; or (vi) voting in accordance with the factors discussed in the Proxy Policy.

 

Clients may obtain a copy of PIMCO’s written Proxy Policy and the factors that PIMCO may consider in determining how to vote a client’s proxy. Except as required by law, PIMCO will not disclose to third parties how it voted on behalf of a client. However, upon request from an appropriately authorized individual, PIMCO will disclose to its clients or the entity delegating the voting authority to PIMCO for such clients, how PIMCO voted such client’s proxy. In addition, a client may obtain copies of PIMCO’s Proxy Policy and information as to how its proxies have been voted by contacting PIMCO.

 



 

ITEM 8.  PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES

 

(a)(1)

 

As of June 3, 2010, the following individual has primary responsibility for the day-to-day implementation of the PIMCO High Income Fund (“PHK” or the “Fund”):

 

William H. Gross, CFA
Mr. Gross has been the portfolio manager for the Fund since May 2009.  Mr. Gross founded Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (``PIMCO”) more than 38 years ago and is a managing director and co-Chief Investment Officer of the company. He has over 40 years of investment experience and holds an MBA from the Anderson School of Management at the University of California, Los Angeles. He received his undergraduate degree from Duke University.

 

(a)(2)

 

The following summarizes information regarding each of the accounts, excluding the respective Fund managed by the Portfolio Manager as of March 31, 2010, including accounts managed by a team, committee, or other group that includes the Portfolio Manager.  Unless mentioned otherwise, the advisory fee charged for managing each of the accounts listed below is not based on performance.

*Of these other Pooled Investment Vehicles, 15 accounts totaling $5,162.11 million in assets pay an advisory fee that is based in part on the performance of the accounts.

 

**Of these other Accounts, 23 accounts totaling $12, 587.14 million in assets pay an advisory fee that is based in part on the performance of the accounts.

 

From time to time, potential conflicts of interest may arise between a portfolio manager’s management of the investments of a Fund, on the one hand, and the management of other accounts, on the other.  The other accounts might have similar investment objectives or strategies as the Funds, track the same index a Fund tracks or otherwise hold, purchase, or sell securities that are eligible to be held, purchased or sold by the Funds.  The other accounts might also have different investment objectives or strategies than the Funds.

 

Knowledge and Timing of Fund Trades.  A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the portfolio manager’s day-to-day management of a Fund.  Because of their positions with the Funds, the portfolio managers know the size, timing and possible market impact of a Fund’s trades.  It is theoretically possible that the portfolio managers could use this information to the advantage of other accounts they manage and to the possible detriment of a Fund.

 

Investment Opportunities.  A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the portfolio manager’s management of a number of accounts with varying investment guidelines.  Often, an investment opportunity may be suitable for both a Fund and other accounts managed by the portfolio manager, but may not be available in sufficient quantities for both the Fund and the other accounts to participate fully.  Similarly, there may be limited opportunity to sell an investment held by a Fund and another account. 

 



 

PIMCO has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to allocate investment opportunities on a fair and equitable basis over time.

 

Under PIMCO’s allocation procedures, investment opportunities are allocated among various investment strategies based on individual account investment guidelines and PIMCO’s investment outlook.  PIMCO has also adopted additional procedures to complement the general trade allocation policy that are designed to address potential conflicts of interest due to the side-by-side management of the Funds and certain pooled investment vehicles, including investment opportunity allocation issues.

 

Performance Fees.  A portfolio manager may advise certain accounts with respect to which the advisory fee is based entirely or partially on performance.  Performance fee arrangements may create a conflict of interest for the portfolio manager in that the portfolio manager may have an incentive to allocate the investment opportunities that he or she believes might be the most profitable to such other accounts instead of allocating them to a Fund.  PIMCO has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to allocate investment opportunities between the Funds and such other accounts on a fair and equitable basis over time.

 

(a) (3)

 

As of March 31, 2010, the following explains the compensation structure of the individual that shares primary responsibility for day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund:

 

PIMCO has adopted a “Total Compensation Plan” for its professional level employees, including its portfolio managers, that is designed to pay competitive compensation and reward performance, integrity and teamwork consistent with the firm’s mission statement.  The Total Compensation Plan includes a significant incentive component that rewards high performance standards, work ethic and consistent individual and team contributions to the firm.  The compensation of portfolio managers consists of a base salary, a bonus, and may include a retention bonus.  Portfolio managers who are Managing Directors of PIMCO also receive compensation from PIMCO’s profits.  Certain employees of PIMCO, including portfolio managers, may elect to defer compensation through PIMCO’s deferred compensation plan.  PIMCO also offers its employees a non-contributory defined contribution plan through which PIMCO makes a contribution based on the employee’s compensation.  PIMCO’s contribution rate increases at a specified compensation level, which is a level that would include portfolio managers.

 

Salary and Bonus.  Base salaries are determined by considering an individual portfolio manager’s experience and expertise and may be reviewed for adjustment annually.  Portfolio managers are entitled to receive bonuses, which may be significantly more than their base salary, upon attaining certain performance objectives based on predetermined measures of group or department success.  These goals are specific to individual portfolio managers and are mutually agreed upon annually by each portfolio manager and his or her manager.  Achievement of these goals is an important, but not exclusive, element of the bonus decision process.

 

In addition, the following non-exclusive list of qualitative criteria (collectively, the “Bonus Factors”) may be considered when determining the bonus for portfolio managers:

 

·

3-year, 2-year and 1-year dollar-weighted and account-weighted, pre-tax investment performance as judged against the applicable benchmarks for each account managed by a portfolio manager (including the Funds) and relative to applicable industry peer groups;

 

 

·

Appropriate risk positioning that is consistent with PIMCO’s investment philosophy and the Investment Committee/CIO approach to the generation of alpha;

 

 

·

Amount and nature of assets managed by the portfolio manager;

 

 

·

Consistency of investment performance across portfolios of similar mandate and guidelines (reward low dispersion);

 

 

·

Generation and contribution of investment ideas in the context of PIMCO’s secular and cyclical forums,

 



 

 

portfolio strategy meetings, Investment Committee meetings, and on a day-to-day basis;

 

 

·

Absence of defaults and price defaults for issues in the portfolios managed by the portfolio manager;

 

 

·

Contributions to asset retention, gathering and client satisfaction;

 

 

·

Contributions to mentoring, coaching and/or supervising; and

 

 

·

Personal growth and skills added.

 

Investment professionals, including portfolio managers, are eligible to participate in a Long Term Cash Bonus Plan (“Cash Bonus Plan”), which provides cash awards that appreciate or depreciate based upon the performance of PIMCO’s parent company, Allianz Global Investors, and PIMCO over a three-year period.  The aggregate amount available for distribution to participants is based upon Allianz Global Investors’ profit growth and PIMCO’s profit growth.  Participation in the Cash Bonus Plan is based upon the Bonus Factors, and the payment of benefits from the Cash Bonus Plan, is contingent upon continued employment at PIMCO.

 

Key employees of PIMCO, including certain Managing Directors, Executive Vice Presidents, and Senior Vice Presidents, are eligible to participate in the PIMCO Class M Unit Equity Participation Plan, a long-term equity plan.  The Class M Unit Equity Participation Plan grants options on PIMCO equity that vest in years three, four and five.  Upon vesting, the options will convert into PIMCO M Units, which are non-voting common equity of PIMCO.  M Units pay out quarterly distributions equal to a pro-rata share of PIMCO’s net profits.  There is no assured liquidity and they may remain outstanding perpetually.

 

Profit Sharing Plan.  Instead of a bonus, portfolio managers who are Managing Directors of PIMCO receive compensation from a non-qualified profit sharing plan consisting of a portion of PIMCO’s net profits.  Portfolio managers who are Managing Directors receive an amount determined by the Partner Compensation Committee, based upon an individual’s overall contribution to the firm and the Bonus Factors.  Under his employment agreement, William Gross receives a fixed percentage of the profit sharing plan.

 

Allianz Transaction Related Compensation.  In May 2000, a majority interest in the predecessor holding company of PIMCO was acquired by a subsidiary of Allianz AG (currently known as Allianz SE) (“Allianz”).  In connection with the transaction, Mr. Gross received a grant of restricted stock of Allianz, the last of which vested on May 5, 2005.

 

Portfolio managers who are Managing Directors also have long-term employment contracts, which guarantee severance payments in the event of involuntary termination of a Managing Director’s employment with PIMCO.
