Semi-Annual Report
August 31, 2016
Thomas J. Fuccillo
President & CEO
Dear Shareholder:
The US economy expanded at a moderate pace during the six-month reporting period ended August 31, 2016. Economic activity overseas was mixed and generally lackluster. Against this backdrop, US and international equities generated strong results. In addition, the US bond market posted a positive return during the reporting period.
For the sixth-month reporting period ended August 31, 2016
n | AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund returned 29.24% on net asset value (NAV) and 44.00% on market price. |
n | AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II returned 29.83% on NAV and 37.87% on market price. |
During the six-month period ended August 31, 2016, the Standard & Poors (S&P) 500 Index, an unmanaged index generally representative of the US stock market, rose 13.60% and the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, an unmanaged index generally representative of the high yield bond market, gained 15.88%. Convertible securities, which share characteristics of both stocks and bonds, also generated strong results. The BofA Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Index, an unmanaged index generally representative of the convertible securities market, returned 13.69%.
US gross domestic product (GDP), which is an approximation of the value of goods and services produced in a given country, the broadest measure of economic activity and a key indicator of economic performance, after expanding at a revised 0.9% annualized pace during the fourth quarter of 2015, decelerated to an annualized pace of 0.8% during the first quarter of 2016. The Commerce Departments final reading released after the reporting period had ended showed that GDP grew at an annualized pace of 1.4% for the second quarter of 2016.
At its meeting in December 2015 the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade. More specifically, the US central bank increased the federal funds rate from a range between 0% and 0.25% to a range between 0.25% and 0.50%. However, since that time the Fed has paused increases in interest rates and has downgraded its expectations for growth in the US for 2016. In its official statement following its meeting in July 2016 the Fed said, The Committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the federal funds rate; the federal funds rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run.

In such an environment, we expect investors to be in for a choppy ride. However, in our view it wont be without opportunity, especially for those with long term outlooks, a healthy risk appetite and the latitude to invest actively. As always, we will continue to conduct extensive research and focus on quality and sustainability to help our shareholders navigate the many uncertainties around the globe.
Please note that on October 1, 2016, Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (AGIFM), previously the Funds investment manager, merged with and into Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (AllianzGI U.S.), previously the Funds sub-adviser. In connection with this merger, AllianzGI U.S. succeeded AGIFM as the investment manager of the Funds. The merger did not result in any personnel changes and otherwise had no practical effect on the management of the Funds.

Notes to Performance & Statistics:
* Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Funds and not the Funds themselves and are divided into categories ranging from highest to lowest credit quality, determined for purposes of presentations in this report by using ratings provided by S&P Global Ratings (S&P). Presentations of credit ratings information in this report use ratings provided by S&P for this purpose, among other reasons, because of the access to background information and other materials provided by S&P, as well as the Funds considerations of industry practice. Bonds not rated by S&P, or bonds that do not have a rating available from S&P, or bonds that had a rating withdrawn by S&P are designated as NR or NA, respectively. Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subjective opinions, not statements of fact, and are subject to change periodically, even as frequently as daily. Ratings assigned by S&P or another rating agency are not absolute standards of credit quality and do not evaluate market risk. Rating agencies may fail to make timely changes in credit ratings, and an issuers current financial condition may be better or worse than a rating indicates. In formulating investment decisions for the Funds, Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC develops its own analysis of the credit quality and risks associated with individual debt instruments, rather than relying exclusively on rating agencies or third-party research. Previous shareholder reports for the Funds displayed bond ratings provided by Moodys Investors Service, Inc.
(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 dividends and 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 return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized.
Performance at market price will differ from results at NAV. Although market price returns tend to 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 Funds shares, or changes in each Funds dividends.
An investment in each Fund 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) The NAV disclosed in the Funds financial statements may differ due to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
(3) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly dividend per common share (comprised of net investment income) by the market price per common share at August 31, 2016.
(4) Represents Preferred Shares (Leverage) outstanding, as a percentage of total managed assets. Total managed assets refer to total assets (including assets attributable to Leverage) minus liabilities (other than liabilities representing Leverage).

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund (Convertible & Income) and AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II (Convertible & Income II) (each, a Fund and, collectively, the Funds), were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on January 17, 2003 and April 22, 2003, respectively. The Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services Investment Companies. Prior to commencing operations on March 31, 2003, and July 31, 2003, respectively, the Funds had no operations other than matters relating to their organization and registration as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), and the rules and regulations thereunder. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (AGIFM or the Investment Manager) and Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (AIIianzGI U.S. or the Sub-Adviser) served as the Funds investment manager and sub-adviser, respectively, during the reporting period. AllianzGI U.S. is and AGIFM was, prior to its merger with and into AllianzGI U.S. on October 1, 2016, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P. (AAM). AGIFM and AllianzGI U.S. were affiliates during the reporting period. AAM is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. Each Fund has authorized an unlimited amount of common shares with $0.00001 par value.
Notwithstanding the merger of AGIFM and AllianzGI U.S. on October 1, 2016, these Notes portray that the Funds have both an Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser, which was the case during the reporting period. Following, the
merger, AllianzGI U.S. has assumed the services and responsibilities previously provided by AGIFM as Investment Manager, and the Funds no longer have a Sub-Adviser.
Each Funds investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of capital appreciation and high current income. The Funds attempt to achieve this objective by investing in a portfolio of convertible securities and non-convertible income-producing securities. There can be no assurance that the Funds will meet their stated objectives.
The preparation of the Funds financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires the Funds management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in each Funds financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:
(a) Valuation of Investments
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official closing prices, last reported sales prices, or if no sales or closing prices are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established

market makers, or independent pricing services. The Funds investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or broker/dealer quotations, or by using the last sale or settlement price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last bid and ask quotations. 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.
The Boards of Trustees of each Fund (together, the Board) have adopted procedures for valuing portfolio securities and other financial instruments in circumstances where market quotations are not readily available (including in cases where available market quotations are deemed to be unreliable), and have delegated primary responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser. The Funds Valuation Committee of the Board of each Fund was established by the Board to oversee the implementation of the Funds valuation methods and to make fair value determinations on behalf of the Board, as instructed by the Board. The Sub-Adviser monitors the continued appropriateness of methods applied and identifies to the Investment Manager circumstances and events that may require fair valuation. The Investment Manager, in turn, determines if adjustments should be made in light of market changes, events affecting the issuer, or other factors. If the Investment Manager (in consultation with the Sub-Adviser) determines that a valuation method may no longer be appropriate, another valuation method may be selected or the Valuation Committee will be convened to consider the matter and take any appropriate action in accordance with procedures set forth by the Board. The Board shall review and ratify
the appropriateness of the valuation methods and these methods may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Valuation Committee.
Short-term debt instruments 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 premiums or discounts based on their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days.
The prices used by the Funds to value investments may differ from the value that would be realized if the investments were sold, and these differences could be material to the Funds financial statements. Each Funds net asset value (NAV) is normally determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange (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:
n | Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Funds have the ability to access |
n | Level 2 valuations based on other significant observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates or other market corroborated inputs |
n | Level 3 valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Sub-Advisers or Valuation Committees own assumptions and securities whose price was determined by using a single brokers quote) |

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the six months ended August 31, 2016 were intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The Funds policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. An investment assets or liabilitys 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. Assets categorized as Level 1 or 2 as of period end may have been transferred between Levels 1 and 2 since the prior period due to changes in the valuation method utilized in valuing the investments.
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 U.S. GAAP.
Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock) Equity securities traded in inactive markets 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.
Convertible Bonds & Notes Convertible bonds & notes are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include 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 convertible bonds & notes 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 & 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 & notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
Senior Loans Senior Loans generally are valued by independent pricing services based on the average of quoted prices received from multiple dealers or valued relative to other benchmark securities when broker-dealer quotes are unavailable. These quoted prices are based on interest rates, yield curves, option adjusted spreads, credit spreads and/or other criteria. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of Senior Loans are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.
(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premium is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized, respectively, to interest income. Conversion premium is not amortized. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Payments received on synthetic convertible securities are generally included in dividends. 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. Consent fees relating to corporate actions and facility
fees and other fees received after settlement date relating to senior loans and commitment fees received relating to unfunded purchase commitments are recorded as miscellaneous income upon receipt. Payments received from certain investments may be comprised of dividends, realized gains and return of capital. These payments may initially be recorded as dividend income and may subsequently be reclassified as realized gains and/or return of capital upon receipt of information from the issuer. Payments considered return of capital reduce the cost basis of the respective security. Distributions, if any, in excess of the cost basis of a security are recognized as capital gains. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.
(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. The Funds may be subject to excise tax based on distributions to shareholders.
Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. In accordance with provisions set forth under U.S. GAAP, the Investment Manager has reviewed the Funds tax positions for all open tax years. As of August 31, 2016, the Funds have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken. The Funds federal tax returns for the prior three years, as applicable, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

August 31, 2016 (unaudited) (continued)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(e) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Common Shares
The Funds declare dividends from net investment income to common shareholders monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. The Funds record dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains or return of capital is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. 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) Convertible Securities
It is the Funds policy to invest a portion of their assets in convertible securities. Although convertible securities derive part of their value from that of the securities into which they are convertible, they are not considered derivative financial instruments. However, certain of the Funds investments in convertible securities include features which render them sensitive to price changes in their underlying securities. The value of structured/synthetic convertible securities can be affected by interest rate changes and credit risks of the issuer. Such securities may be structured in ways that limit their potential for capital appreciation and the entire value of the security may be at risk of loss depending on the performance of the
underlying equity security. Consequently, the Funds are exposed to greater downside risk than traditional convertible securities, but typically still less than that of the underlying stock.
(g) Senior Loans
The Funds may 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 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. The Funds may also enter into lending arrangements involving unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments may include revolving credit facilities, which may obligate the Funds to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the principal amounts will never be utilized by the borrower.
The Funds may purchase the securities of distressed companies (including assignments or direct investments), including companies engaged in restructurings or bankruptcy proceedings. Investments in distressed companies may include senior obligations of an issuer issued in connection with a restructuring under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (commonly known as debtor-in-possession or DIP financings). Debtor-in-possession

Notes to Financial Statements
AllianzGI Convertible & Income Funds
August 31, 2016 (unaudited) (continued)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
financings generally allow the issuer to continue its operations while reorganizing. Such financings constitute senior liens on unencumbered collateral (i.e., collateral not subject to other creditors claims). There is risk that the issuer under a debtor-in-possession financing will not emerge from Chapter 11 and be forced to liquidate its assets under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In the event of liquidation, the Funds only recourse would be against the collateral securing the debtor-in-possession financing.
(h) Payment In-Kind Securities
The Funds may invest in payment in-kind securities, which are debt or preferred stock securities that require or permit payment of interest in the form of additional securities. Payment in-kind securities allow the issuer to avoid or delay the need to generate cash to meet current interest payments and, as a result, may involve greater risk than securities that pay interest currently or in cash.
(i) Warrants
The Funds may receive warrants. Warrants are securities that are usually issued together with a debt security or preferred stock and that give the holder the right to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specified price. Warrants are freely transferable and are often traded on major exchanges. Warrants normally have a life that is measured in years and entitle the holder to buy common stock of a company at a price that is usually higher than the market price at the time the warrant is issued. Warrants may entail greater risks than certain other types of investments. Generally, warrants do not carry the right to receive dividends or exercise voting rights with respect to the underlying securities, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. In addition, their value does not necessarily change with the value of the
underlying securities, and they cease to have value if they are not exercised on or before their expiration date. If the market price of the underlying stock does not exceed the exercise price during the life of the warrant, the warrant will expire worthless. Warrants may increase the potential profit or loss to be realized from the investment as compared with investing the same amount in the underlying securities. Similarly, the percentage increase or decrease in the value of an equity security warrant may be greater than the percentage increase or decrease in the value of the underlying common stock. Warrants may relate to the purchase of equity or debt securities. Debt obligations with warrants attached to purchase equity securities have many characteristics of convertible securities and their prices may, to some degree, reflect the performance of the underlying stock. Debt obligations also may be issued with warrants attached to purchase additional debt securities at the same coupon rate. A decline in interest rates would permit the Funds to sell such warrants at a profit. If interest rates rise, these warrants would generally expire with no value.
(j) Contingent Value Rights
A Fund may invest in contingent value rights (CVRs). A CVR gives the holder the right to receive an amount (which may be a fixed amount or determined by a formula) in the event that a specified corporate action, business milestone, or other trigger occurs (or does not occur) which is often subject to an expiration date. CVRs often are awarded to shareholders in the context of a corporate acquisition or major restructuring. For example, shareholders of an acquired company may receive a CVR that enables them to receive additional shares of the acquiring company in the event that the acquiring companys share price falls below a certain level by a specified date. Risks associated with the use of CVRs are generally similar to risks associated with the use of options, such as

Notes to Financial Statements
AllianzGI Convertible & Income Funds
August 31, 2016 (unaudited) (continued)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
the risk that the required trigger does not (or does) occur prior to a CVRs expiration, causing the CVR to expire with no value. CVRs also present illiquidity risk, as they may not be registered securities or may otherwise be non-transferable or difficult to transfer, as well as counterparty risk and credit risk. Further, because CVRs are valued based on the likelihood of the occurrence of a trigger, valuation often requires modeling and judgment, which increases the risk of mispricing or improper valuation.
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 also are exposed to other risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and leverage risks.
Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities valuations will change because of changes in interest rates. During periods of rising nominal interest rates, the values of fixed income instruments are generally expected to decline. Conversely, during periods of declining nominal interest rates, the values of fixed income instruments are generally expected to rise. To the extent that a Fund effectively has short positions with respect to fixed income instruments, the values of such short positions would generally be expected to rise when nominal interest rates rise and to decline when nominal interest rates decline. 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 securitys market price to interest rate (i.e., yield) movements. Interest rate changes can be sudden and unpredictable, and a Fund may lose money as a result of movements in interest rates. A Fund may not be able to hedge against changes in interest rates or may choose not to do so for cost or other reasons. In addition, any hedges may not work as intended. The values of equity and other non-fixed income securities may also decline due to fluctuations in interest rates.
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.
The market values of securities may decline due to general market conditions (market risk) which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, adverse changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, adverse changes to credit markets 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, although under certain market conditions fixed income securities may have comparable or greater price volatility. Credit ratings downgrades may also negatively affect securities held by a Fund. Even when markets perform well, there is no

2. Principal Risks (continued)
assurance that the investments held by a Fund will increase in value along with the broader market. In addition, market risk includes the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the economy on a national or global level.
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 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.
The Funds are exposed to risks associated with leverage. Leverage may 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 or purchase instruments that give rise to forms of leverage. In addition, to the extent the Funds employ leverage, dividends and 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. As discussed further in Note 6, each Fund has auction-rate preferred shares outstanding.
The Funds may hold defaulted securities that may involve special considerations including bankruptcy proceedings, other regulatory and legal restrictions affecting the Funds ability to trade, and the availability of prices from independent pricing services or dealer quotations. Defaulted securities may also be illiquid and may not be actively traded. Sale of securities in bankrupt companies at an acceptable price may be difficult and differences compared to the value of securities used by the Funds could be material. A Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek recovery upon a portfolio securitys default in the payment of principal or interest. In any bankruptcy proceeding relating to a defaulted investment, a Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash or securities with a value substantially less than its original investment.
3. Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser & Deferred Compensation
Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser. During the reporting period, each Fund had an Investment Management Agreement (for the purposes of this section, each an Agreement) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Funds Board, the Investment Manager was responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, the Funds investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to each Agreement, the Investment Manager received an annual fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.70% of each Funds average daily total managed assets. Total managed assets refer to the total assets of each Fund (including assets attributable to any Preferred Shares or other forms of leverage that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing leverage).
During the reporting period, the Investment Manager retained the Sub-Adviser to manage the
