Dear Shareholder:

 

The U.S. and global economies slowed considerably during the six-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2011. Behind the slowdown was a series of geopolitical and economic problems: Europe’s sovereign debt crisis appeared to both widen and deepen. The Middle East was rocked by unrest, which pushed energy prices higher. An earthquake-sparked nuclear meltdown in Japan interrupted the smooth functioning of the global economy’s supply chain. In the United States, there was an unprecedented downgrading of the U.S. government’s once pristine credit rating. The result of all of this was extraordinary market volatility, and an end, at least for the moment, of the powerful stock market rally that began in the spring of 2009. The volatility and uncertainty, meanwhile, was a boon for a surging U.S. Treasury market.

The Six-Month Period in Review

 

For the six-month reporting period ended September 30, 2011:

 

· PIMCO Global StocksPLUS® & Income Fund declined 19.95% on net asset value (“NAV”) and 23.20% on market price.

 

· PIMCO High Income Fund declined 13.88% on NAV and 13.82% on market price.

 

During the review period, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, a proxy for the U.S. stock market, declined 13.78% and the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East Index (“EAFE”) declined 17.74% in U.S. dollar terms. The BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index fell 7.09%. The broad bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 6.20% for the reporting period while the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Bond Index returned 5.88%.

 

Warning Congress that “the recovery is close to faltering,” Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal Reserve (“the Fed”), told Congress that new stimulus measures were needed to prevent another recession. The Fed indicated it would sell $400 billion of shorter-term Treasury securities and use the proceeds to buy longer-term securities. The goal of this so-called “Operation Twist” was to lower longer-term interest rates, which would “contribute to a broad easing in financial market conditions that will provide additional stimulus to support the economic recovery.” The

Fed also revealed it would leave its key federal funds rate unchanged at between 0% and 0.25% through the middle of 2013.

 

The market uncertainty and unrest caused many investors to shift out of equities and into the perceived safe haven of U.S. government debt. The resulting surge in Treasury prices pushed yields on the benchmark 10-year bond to an astonishing 1.72%, its lowest level in over half a century. The 10-year bond had yielded as much as 3.59% earlier in the six-month period.

 

The Road Ahead

In our last report, we indicated that another recession seemed unlikely. We cautiously maintain this outlook. But we also believe that economic growth is likely to remain modest for the near future. Until the job and housing markets recover and until Europe’s persistent debt crisis clears up, among other things, it is difficult to be more sanguine. But we do not believe the U.S. will fall into another recession, which is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth.

PIMCO Global StocksPLUS® & Income Fund Fund Insights

September 30, 2011 (unaudited)

 

For the six-month period ended September 30, 2011, PIMCO Global StocksPLUS® & Income Fund (the “Fund”) returned -19.95% on net asset value (“NAV”) and -23.20% on market price.

 

A confluence of events dragged down the global financial markets during the reporting period. Investors who assumed greater risk during the period generally experienced weak results, as lower quality securities typically underperformed higher rated securities.

 

The global equity markets began the reporting period on the right foot, as stock prices generally rallied in April 2011. Stock prices were initially supported by first quarter corporate earnings that often exceeded expectations, optimism for a strengthening economy and robust investor demand. However, these gains were quickly erased as the global equity markets fell sharply during the last five months of the reporting period. Global economic data was generally disappointing, which led to concerns of a double-dip recession. Furthermore, U.S. Treasuries were downgraded by Standard & Poor’s and there were increased fears of contagion from the escalating European sovereign debt crisis.

 

After initially moving higher, U.S. government bond yields moved sharply lower during the reporting period, as many investors flocked to the relative safety of U.S. Treasuries. At one point, the yield on the 10 year Treasury fell to 1.72%, a level not seen since the 1940s. Overall, the spread sectors (non-Treasuries) generated weak results during the reporting period and underperformed equal duration Treasuries.

 

Equity exposure detracted from returns

Fund performance was negatively impacted by a 51% average exposure to U.S. equities during the reporting period. This was accomplished by utilizing S&P 500 futures contracts, along with a defensive option strategy that sought to generate income and limit losses. The Fund was also hindered by exposure to foreign stocks. The Fund utilized total return swaps to gain

 

 

PIMCO Global StocksPLUS® & Income Fund

PIMCO High Income Fund Semi-Annual Report | 9.30.11

 


 

access to the MSCI EAFE Index. The Fund’s average exposure to foreign stocks during the reporting period was 49%.

 

The Fund’s option strategy recouped a portion of U.S. equity losses. This was primarily the result of written calls that expired “at or slightly out-of-the-money” when the market was declining. In particular, the option strategy contributed to returns as the sharp decline in domestic equities in the third quarter pushed purchased puts deep “into the money” and written calls “out of the money.”

 

Allocations to spread sectors also hurt results

As a review, a small portion of the Fund’s assets are invested in futures contracts and total return swaps. These instruments allow the Fund to participate in the returns of the S&P 500 and MSCI EAFE Indexes without having to hold the individual stocks that comprise the indexes. The majority of the Fund’s assets are then actively managed in a portfolio of fixed income securities to add incremental return.

 

Overall, the Fund’s fixed income securities detracted from performance during the reporting period. For instance, investment grade corporate bonds, with an emphasis on the financial sector, detracted from performance as these holdings underperformed U.S. Treasuries. An allocation to high yield corporate bonds negatively affected returns as well, due to widening credit spreads, particularly among lower rated issues. Elsewhere, the Fund’s allocation to non-Agency mortgages was not rewarded as an increase in risk aversion during the six-month period put downward pressure on prices. The Fund’s allocations to spread sectors, such as investment grade corporate bonds, high yield corporate bonds, and non-Agency mortgages, negatively impacted performance from a price perspective. However, these investments provided significant sources of incremental income for the Fund.

 

Finally, the Fund’s U.S. interest rate strategy, which called for a long duration, enhanced performance as interest rates in the U.S. were broadly lower over the six-month period.

For the six-month period ended September 30, 2011, PIMCO High Income Fund (the “Fund”), returned -13.88% on net asset value (“NAV”) and -13.82% on market price.

 

A confluence of events dragged down both the U.S. stock and bond markets during the reporting period. Investors who assumed greater risk during the period generally experienced weak results, as lower quality securities typically underperformed higher rated securities.

 

After initially moving higher, U.S. government bond yields moved sharply lower during the reporting period as many economic indicators weakened, U.S. Treasuries were downgraded by Standard & Poor’s and there were increased fears of contagion from the escalating European sovereign debt crisis. Against this backdrop, many investors flocked to the relative safety of U.S. Treasuries. At one point, the yield on the 10 year Treasury fell to 1.72%, a level not seen since the 1940s.

 

Overall, the spread sectors (non-Treasuries) generated weak results during the reporting period and underperformed equal duration Treasuries. Among the spread sectors, high yield bonds produced among the worst returns. After posting a modest gain during the first four months of the fiscal period, the high yield market fell sharply in August and September due to heightened risk aversion. All told, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index (the “Index”) returned -7.09% during the six-months ended September 30, 2011.

 

Security selection and sector positioning drive the Fund’s results

The Fund registered disappointing absolute and relative returns during the reporting period. An overweighting to banks detracted from performance, as the banking sector lagged the Index due to increased concerns with respect to European sovereign debt. Security selection within insurance companies was also negative for performance, as select life insurance insurers underperformed the broader insurance sector. Elsewhere, an overweighting

to non-captive consumer lenders was not rewarded, as credit conditions tightened during the fiscal six-month period.

 

Conversely, an allocation to Build America Bonds contributed to results, as these issues outperformed the high yield market. An underweighting to the poor performing building materials sector was beneficial, as decreased consumer spending and a stagnant economic recovery hampered returns. An underweighting to the automotive sector also contributed to returns, as weakening consumer sentiment and poor macro-economic data weighed on the sector.

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

 

Performance at market price will differ from 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 Funds, market conditions, supply and demand for each Fund’s shares, or changes in the Funds’ dividends.

 

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

 

(2) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly per common share dividend (comprised of net investment income) payable to common shareholders by the market price per common share at September 30, 2011.

(a)

 

Private Placement–Restricted as to resale and may not have a readily available market. Securities with an aggregate value of $45,264,935 and $241,504,892, representing 40.5% of net assets and 16.6% of total investments in Global StocksPLUS® and 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 September 30, 2011.

(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.

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), 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 shares authorized.

 

Global StocksPLUS®’s investment objective is to seek total return comprised of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. Global StocksPLUS® normally attempts to achieve its investment objective 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. The Fund’s investments in index and other derivative instruments are backed by an actively-managed, debt portfolio that 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 the Pacific Investment Management Company LLC’s (the “Sub-Adviser”), forecast for interest rates and other factors. The Fund may invest without limit in securities that are rated below investment grade and may invest without limit in securities of any rating. 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 MSCI 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.

 

High Income’s primary investment objective is to seek high current income. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective. The Fund normally attempts to achieve these objectives by investing at least 50% of its net assets in debt securities that are, at the time of purchase, rated below investment grade, and which may be represented by forward contracts or derivatives such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements.

 

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 each Fund’s 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.

 

In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) related to the accounting for repurchase agreements and similar agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The ASU modifies the criteria for determining effective control of transferred assets and as a result certain agreements may be accounted for as secured borrowings. The ASU is effective prospectively for new transfers and existing transactions that are modified in the first interim or annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Funds’ management is evaluating the implications of this change.

 

In May 2011, FASB issued an ASU to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). FASB concluded that the amendments in this ASU will improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and IFRSs. The ASU is effective prospectively during interim or annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Funds’ management is evaluating the implications of this change.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

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. 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. Centrally cleared swaps and exchange-traded futures and options on futures are valued at the price determined by the relevant exchange. 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 the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. Investments initially valued in currencies other than the 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 six months ended September 30, 2011 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. The following are certain inputs and techniques that the Funds generally use to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities for Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with GAAP.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock) — Equity securities traded in inactive markets and certain foreign equity securities are valued using inputs which include broker-dealer quotes, recently executed transactions adjusted for changes in the benchmark index, or evaluated price quotes received from independent pricing services that take into account the integrity of the market sector and issuer, the individual characteristics of the security, and information received from broker-dealers and other market sources pertaining to the issuer or security. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of equity securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

U.S. Treasury Obligations — U.S. Treasury obligations are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that evaluate the mean between the most recently quoted bid and ask price. The models also take into consideration data received from active market makers and broker-dealers, yield curves, and the spread over comparable U.S. Treasury issues. The spreads change daily in response to market conditions and are generally obtained from the new issue market and broker-dealer sources. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of U.S. Treasury obligations are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Government Sponsored Enterprise and Mortgage-Backed Securities — Government sponsored enterprise and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using pricing models based on inputs that include issuer type, coupon, cash flows, mortgage prepayment projection tables and Adjustable Rate Mortgage evaluations that incorporate index data, periodic and life caps, the next coupon reset date, and the convertibility of the bond. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of government sponsored enterprise and mortgage-backed securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Municipal Bonds — Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades, bid-want lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond insurance. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of municipal bonds are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Corporate Bonds & Notes — Corporate bonds and notes are generally comprised of two main categories: investment grade bonds and high yield bonds. Investment grade bonds are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, live trading levels, recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, and option adjusted spread models that include base curve and spread curve inputs. Adjustments to individual bonds can be applied to recognize trading differences compared to other bonds issued by the same issuer. High yield bonds are valued by independent pricing services based primarily on broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of corporate bonds and notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Asset-Backed Securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations — Asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are valued by independent pricing services using pricing models based on a security’s average life volatility. The models also take into account tranche characteristics such as coupon average life, collateral types, ratings, the issuer and tranche type, underlying collateral and performance of the collateral, and discount margin for certain floating rate issues. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Option Contracts — Option contracts traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that incorporate various inputs such as interest rates, credit spreads, currency exchange rates and volatility measurements for in-the-money, at-the-money, and out-of-the-money contracts based on a given strike price. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of OTC option contracts are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

*

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

** 

Transferred out of Level 3 into Level 2 because sufficient observable inputs were available.

 

The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of Level 3 investments and other financial instruments, which Global StocksPLUS® held at September 30, 2011, was $(185,164) and $272,460, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of Level 3 investments which High Income held at September 30, 2011 was $(9,114,794). Net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation are reflected on the Statements of Operations.

 

(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis. Interest income adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premiums is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized, respectively, 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 on settlement date are amortized as income over the expected term of the senior loan. Facility fees and other fees received after settlement date relating to senior loans, consent fees relating to corporate actions and commitment fees received 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 Subchapter M 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.

 

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 September 30, 2011. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2011 (unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(e) Dividends and Distributions — Common Shares

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 respective shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. 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 to shareholders from return of capital.

 

(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 currencies 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, is held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the Funds 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 Funds of the reverse repurchase transaction is less than the returns they obtain on investments purchased with the cash. To the extent the Funds do not cover their positions in reverse repurchase agreements (by segregating liquid assets at least equal in amount to the forward purchase commitment), the Funds’ uncovered obligations under the agreements will be subject to the Funds’ limitations on borrowings.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

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) 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 make 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.

 

(k) 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.

 

(l) Short Sales

Short sale transactions involve the Funds selling securities they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Funds are obligated to deliver securities at the market price at the time the short position is closed. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested.

 

(m) Restricted Securities

The Funds are permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.

 

(n) Interest Expense

Interest expense primarily relates to the Funds’ participation in reverse repurchase agreement transactions. Interest expense is recorded as it is incurred.

 

(o) Custody Credits on Cash Balances

The Funds benefit from an expense offset arrangement with their custodian bank, whereby uninvested cash balances earn credits that 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. Cash overdraft charges, if any, are included in custodian and accounting agent fees.

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 (counterparty risk). The Funds are also exposed to other risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, foreign currency and credit 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.

 

Variable and floating rate securities generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. Inverse floating rate securities may decrease in value if interest rates increase. Inverse floating rate securities may also exhibit greater price volatility than a fixed rate obligation with similar credit quality. When the Funds hold variable or floating rate securities, a decrease (or, in the case of inverse floating rate securities, an increase) in market interest rates will adversely affect the income received from such securities and the NAV of the Funds’ shares.

 

Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities often involve risks that are different from or more acute than risks associated with other types of debt instruments. Generally, rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of fixed rate mortgage-related securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a result, in a period of rising interest rates, if the Funds hold mortgage-related securities, they may exhibit additional volatility. This is known as extension risk. In addition, adjustable and fixed rate mortgage-related securities are subject to prepayment risk. When interest rates decline, borrowers may pay off their mortgages sooner than expected. This can reduce the returns of the Funds because the Funds may have to reinvest that money at the lower prevailing interest rates. The Funds’ investments in other asset-backed securities are subject to risks similar to those associated with mortgage-related securities, as well as additional risks associated with the nature of the assets and the servicing of those assets.

 

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.

 

To the extent the Funds directly invest 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, inflation, 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 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 subject to elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the U.S., due to concentrated 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 that 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.

2. Principal Risks (continued)

 

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, seeks to minimize the Funds’ counterparty risk by performing reviews of each counterparty and by minimizing concentration of counterparty risk by undertaking transactions with multiple 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.

 

Leverage will cause the value of the Funds’ shares to be more volatile than if the Funds did not use leverage. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Funds’ portfolio securities. The Funds may engage in transactions (such as reverse repurchase agreements) or purchase instruments that give rise to forms of leverage. In addition, to the extent the Funds employ leverage, interest costs may not be recovered by any appreciation of the securities purchased with the leverage proceeds and could exceed the Funds’ investment returns, resulting in greater losses.

 

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 derivatives 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 provisions for initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral.

 

The counterparty 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 counterparty 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.

 

The Funds had security transactions outstanding with Lehman Brothers entities as counterparty at the time the relevant Lehman Brothers entities filed for protection or were placed in administration. Global StocksPLUS®’s security transactions associated with Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. (“LBSF”) and Lehman Brothers International (Europe) (“LBI”) and High Income’s security transactions associated with Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. (“LCPI”) and LBSF as counterparties were written down to their estimated recoverable values. Anticipated losses for securities transactions associated with LBSF, LBI and LCPI have been incorporated as net realized gain (loss) on the Funds’ Statements of Operations. The remaining balances, if any, due from LBSF, LBI and LCPI and due to SLH are included in receivable from/payable to broker on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The estimated recoverable value of the receivables is determined by independent broker quotes.

 

3. Financial Derivative Instruments

Disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities requires qualitative disclosure regarding objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosure about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivatives, 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 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.

3. Financial Derivative Instruments (continued)

 

(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 put and call options on securities and indices 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 premiums and changes 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.

 

The Funds write (sell) put and call options on securities and indices to earn premiums, for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or otherwise as part of their investment strategies. When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that 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 bilateraly 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. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“OTC swaps”) and may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered commodities exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”). 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 or cash may be identified as collateral or margin 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.

 

OTC swap 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. Changes in market value, if any, are reflected as a component of net changes in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Funds’ Statements of Operations. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin on centrally cleared swaps on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

3. Financial Derivative Instruments (continued)

 

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 investment 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, a Fund 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, a Fund 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 or sovereign issues 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 or sovereign issues 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 or sovereign issues of 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 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 or sovereign issues of 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 September 30, 2011 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 swaps, 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 price risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) 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, each Fund’s 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 were outstanding. For Global StocksPLUS®, total managed assets refer to the total assets of Global StocksPLUS® (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 each Fund’s 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.

(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)

This represents 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 September 30, 2011 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.

The Fund is subject to certain limitations and restrictions while Preferred Shares are outstanding. Failure to comply with these limitations and restrictions could preclude the Fund from declaring or paying any dividends or distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference plus any accumulated, unpaid dividends.

 

Preferred shareholders, who are entitled to one vote per share, generally vote together 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 have 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 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.

 

On September 12, 2011, Moody’s Investor Service downgraded its rating of each series of the Fund’s Preferred Shares from Aaa to Aa2.

 

See Note “8. Legal Proceedings” for a discussion of shareholder demand letters received by the Fund and certain other closed-end funds managed by the Investment Manager.

 

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.

8. Legal Proceedings (continued)

 

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 (the “MDL Court”). After a number of claims in the lawsuits were dismissed by the MDL Court, the parties entered into a stipulation of settlement, which was publicly filed with the MDL Court in April 2010, resolving all remaining claims. In April 2011, the MDL Court granted final approval of the settlement.

 

Beginning in May 2010, several closed-end funds managed by the Investment Manager, including High Income and certain other funds sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser, each received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf of certain common shareholders. The demand letters allege that the Investment Manager and certain officers and trustees of the funds breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the redemption at par of a portion of the funds’ ARPS and demand that the boards of trustees take certain action to remedy those alleged breaches. After conducting an investigation in August 2010, the independent trustees of High Income rejected the demands made in the demand letters.

 

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.

Changes in Investment Policy — High Income:

 

Effective April 20, 2011, High Income’s duration guidelines were expanded such that, under normal market conditions, the Fund will maintain an average portfolio duration of between zero and eight years. High Income previously observed intermediate average portfolio duration ranges — normally between four and eight years.

 

Duration is a measure of the expected life of a debt security that is used to determine the sensitivity of the security’s price to changes in interest rates. Generally, the longer a security’s duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates — i.e., the prices of the debt obligations typically fall when market interest rates rise. Please see “2. Principal Risks” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional discussion of interest rate risk.

 

 

Proxy Voting Policies & Procedures:

 

A description of the policies and procedures that the Funds have adopted to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information about how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve month period ended June 30 is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Funds’ shareholder servicing agent at (800) 254-5197; (ii) on the Funds’ website at www.allianzinvestors.com/closedendfunds; and (iii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov.

Matters Relating to the Trustees’ Consideration of the Investment Management &

Portfolio Management Agreements (unaudited)

 

 

Global StocksPLUS®:

 

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) and a majority of the non-interested Trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately, approve the Fund’s Management Agreement with the Investment Manager (the “Advisory Agreement”) and Portfolio Management Agreement between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”, and together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”). The Trustees met in person on June 14-15, 2011 (the “contract review meeting”) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from Fund management during the contract review meeting.

 

Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the continuation of the Fund’s Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement should be approved for a one-year period commencing July 1, 2011.

 

In connection with their deliberations regarding the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services performed by the Investment Manager or the Sub-Adviser under the applicable Agreement.

 

In connection with their contract review meetings, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Morningstar Associates LLC (“Morningstar”) on the net return investment performance (based on net assets) of the Fund for various time periods, the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives as the Fund identified by Morningstar and the performance of an applicable benchmark index, (ii) information provided by Morningstar on the Fund’s management fees and other expenses and the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Morningstar, (iii) information regarding the investment performance and management fees of any comparable portfolios of other clients of the Sub-Adviser, (iv) the estimated profitability to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund for the one year period ended March 31, 2011, (v) descriptions of various functions performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser for the Fund, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (vi) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Fund.

 

The Trustees’ conclusions as to the continuation of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.

 

As part of their review, the Trustees examined the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s abilities to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Fund. The Trustees considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of the Sub-Adviser; the experience of key advisory personnel of the Sub-Adviser responsible for portfolio management of the Fund; the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser; and the level of skill required to manage the Fund. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Fund; the nature and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager is responsible for providing to the Fund; and conditions that might affect the Investment Manager’s

or the Sub-Adviser’s ability to provide high quality services to the Fund in the future under the Agreements, including each organization’s respective business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Sub-Adviser’s investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Fund given its investment objective and policies, and that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser would be able to continue to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.

 

Based on information provided by Morningstar, the Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s net return investment performance as well as the performance of comparable funds identified by Morningstar. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees took into account information provided by the Investment Manager in connection with the contract review meeting, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year regarding the Fund’s performance.

 

In assessing the reasonableness of the Fund’s fees under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, the Fund’s management fee and the total net expense ratio as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common shares and the management fee and total net expense ratios of comparable funds identified by Morningstar.

 

The Trustees specifically took note of how the Fund compared to its Morningstar peers as to performance, management fee expense and total net expenses. The Trustees noted that while the Fund is not charged a separate administration fee, it was not clear whether the peer funds in the Morningstar categories were separately charged such a fee by their investment managers, so that the total net expense ratio (rather than any individual expense component) represented the most relevant comparison. It was noted that the total net expense ratio reflects the effect of expense waivers/reimbursements (although none exist for the Fund) and does not reflect interest expense.

 

The Trustees noted that the expense group for the Fund provided by Morningstar consisted of a total of thirteen closed-end funds including the Fund. The Trustees also noted that average net assets of the common shares of the funds in the peer group ranged from $34.22 million to $1,363.50 million, and that eight of the funds are larger in asset size than the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the Fund was ranked eleventh out of thirteen funds in the expense peer group for total net expense ratio based on common share assets, fifth out of thirteen funds in the expense peer group for the total net expense ratio based on common share and leveraged assets combined and eighth out of thirteen funds in actual management fees (with funds ranked first having the lowest fees/expenses and ranked thirteen having the highest fees/expenses in the peer group).

 

With respect to Fund performance (based on net asset value), the Trustees also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark and was ranked first for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods ended February 28, 2011 against a peer group of thirteen, thirteen and ten funds, respectively.

 

Because the Sub-Adviser does not manage any funds or institutional separate accounts with investment strategies similar to the Fund, the Trustees did not consider the management fees charged by the Sub-Adviser to other clients.

 

The Trustees also took into account that the Fund uses leverage, such as by the use of reverse repurchase agreements, which increase total assets and thus the amount of fees received by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Agreements (because the fees are calculated based on total managed assets). In this regard, the Trustees took into account that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser have a financial incentive for the Fund to continue to have leverage outstanding, which may create a conflict of interest between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, on the one hand and the Fund’s shareholders, on the other. In this regard, the Trustees considered information provided by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser and the presentations by portfolio managers and determined that the Fund’s use of leverage continues to be appropriate and in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders.

 

Based on a profitability analysis provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees also considered the estimated profitability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund and determined that such profitability did not appear to be excessive.

The Trustees also took into account that, as a closed-end investment company, the Fund does not currently intend to raise additional assets, so the assets of the Fund will grow (if at all) only through the investment performance of the Fund. Therefore, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable under the Agreements.

 

Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called “fall-out benefits” to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, such as reputational value derived from serving as Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Fund.

 

After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees concluded with respect to the Fund, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements and based on the information provided and related representations made by management, that the fees payable under the Agreements represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Fund.

 

High Income:

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) and a majority of the non-interested Trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately, approve the Fund’s Management Agreement with the Investment Manager (the “Advisory Agreement”) and Portfolio Management Agreement between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”, and together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”). The Trustees met in person on June 14-15, 2011 (the “contract review meeting”) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from Fund management during the contract review meeting.

 

Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the continuation of the Fund’s Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement should be approved for a one-year period commencing July 1, 2011.

 

In connection with their deliberations regarding the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services performed by the Investment Manager or the Sub-Adviser under the applicable Agreement.

 

In connection with their contract review meetings, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Morningstar Associates LLC (“Morningstar”) on the net return investment performance (based on net assets) of the Fund for various time periods, the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives as the Fund identified by Morningstar and the performance of an applicable benchmark index, (ii) information provided by Morningstar on the Fund’s management fees and other expenses and the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Morningstar, (iii) information regarding the investment performance and management fees of any comparable portfolios of other clients of the Sub-Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and other clients, (iv) the estimated profitability to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund for the one year period ended March 31, 2011, (v) descriptions of various functions performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser for the Fund, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (vi) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Fund.

Matters Relating to the Trustees’ Consideration of the Investment Management &
Portfolio Management Agreements
(unaudited) (continued)

 

 

The Trustees’ conclusions as to the continuation of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.

 

As part of their review, the Trustees examined the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s abilities to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Fund. The Trustees considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of the Sub-Adviser; the experience of key advisory personnel of the Sub-Adviser responsible for portfolio management of the Fund; the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser; and the level of skill required to manage the Fund. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Fund; the nature and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager is responsible for providing to the Fund; and conditions that might affect the Investment Manager’s or the Sub-Adviser’s ability to provide high quality services to the Fund in the future under the Agreements, including each organization’s respective business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Sub-Adviser’s investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Fund given its investment objective and policies, and that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser would be able to continue to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.

 

Based on information provided by Morningstar, the Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s net return investment performance as well as the performance of comparable funds identified by Morningstar. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees took into account information provided by the Investment Manager in connection with the contract review meeting, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year regarding the Fund’s performance.

 

In assessing the reasonableness of the Fund’s fees under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, the Fund’s management fee and the total net expense ratio as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common shares and the management fee and total net expense ratios of comparable funds identified by Morningstar.

 

The Trustees specifically took note of how the Fund compared to its Morningstar peers as to performance, management fee expense and total net expenses. The Trustees noted that while the Fund is not charged a separate administration fee, it was not clear whether the peer funds in the Morningstar categories were separately charged such a fee by their investment managers, so that the total net expense ratio (rather than any individual expense component) represented the most relevant comparison. It was noted that the total net expense ratio reflects the effect of expense waivers/reimbursements (although none exist for the Fund) and does not reflect interest expense.

 

The Trustees noted that the expense group for the Fund provided by Morningstar consisted of a total of eleven to twelve closed-end funds including the Fund. The Trustees also noted that average net assets of the common shares of the funds in the peer group ranged from $51.42 million to $806 million for the non-leveraged expense group and from $63.12 million to $1,533.25 million for the leveraged expense group, and that none of the funds are larger in asset size than the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the Fund was ranked first out of eleven funds in the expense peer group for total net expense ratio based on common share assets, and first out of twelve funds in the expense peer group for the total net expense ratio based on common share and leveraged assets combined and fifth out of eleven funds in actual management fees (with funds ranked first having the lowest fees/expenses in the peer group).

With respect to Fund performance (based on net asset value), the Trustees also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark and was ranked first out of twelve funds for the one-year period ended February 28, 2011. The Trustees noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark and was ranked fourth out of twelve and eleven funds for the three-year and five-year periods ended February 28, 2011, respectively.

 

The Trustees also considered the management fees charged by Sub-Adviser to other clients, including institutional separate accounts with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. Regarding the institutional separate accounts, they noted that the management fees paid by the Fund is generally higher than the fees paid by these clients of the Sub-Adviser, but the Trustees were advised by the Sub-Adviser that the administrative burden for the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Fund is also relatively higher, due in part to the more extensive regulatory regime to which the Fund is subject in comparison to institutional separate accounts. The Trustees noted that the management fees paid by the Fund is generally higher than the fees paid by the open-end fund offered for comparison but were advised that there are additional portfolio management challenges in managing the Fund, such as the use of leverage and meeting a regular dividend.

 

The Trustees also took into account that the Fund has preferred shares outstanding, which increases the amount of fees received by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Agreements (because the fees are calculated based on the Fund’s net assets, including assets attributable to preferred shares outstanding. In this regard, the Trustees took into account that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser have a financial incentive for the Fund to continue to have preferred shares outstanding, which may create a conflict of interest between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, on one hand, and the Fund’s common shareholders, on the other. In this regard, the Trustees considered information provided by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser indicating that the Fund’s use of leverage through preferred shares continues to be appropriate and in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders.

 

Based on a profitability analysis provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees also considered the estimated profitability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund and determined that such profitability did not appear to be excessive.

 

The Trustees also took into account that, as a closed-end investment company, the Fund does not currently intend to raise additional assets, so the assets of the Fund will grow (if at all) only through the investment performance of the Fund. Therefore, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable under the Agreements.

 

Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called “fall-out benefits” to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, such as reputational value derived from serving as Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Fund.
