Dear Shareholder:
While global economic growth was far from robust, there were signs of improvement in a number of countries during the fiscal six-month reporting period ended August 31, 2013. Against this backdrop, US equities generated strong results, while bond prices were pressured by rising interest rates.
Six Months in Review through August 31, 2013
n | AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund returned 8.60% on net asset value (NAV) and 6.58% on market price. |
n | AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II returned 8.72% on NAV and 7.20% on market price. |
In comparison, the Standard & Poors (S&P) 500 Index, an unmanaged index generally representative of the US stock market, rose 8.95% and the Barclays US Credit Index, an unmanaged index considered representative of publicly issued, Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) registered US corporate and specific foreign debentures and secured notes, declined 3.53% during the six-month reporting period. Convertible securities, which share characteristics of both stocks and bonds, rose. The BofA Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Index, an unmanaged index generally representative of the convertible securities market, advanced 8.64% for the period.
During the reporting period, the United States experienced choppy, but continued growth. Gross domestic product (GDP), the value of goods and
services produced in the country, the broadest measure of economic activity and the principal indicator of economic performance, grew at an annual pace of 0.1% during the fourth quarter of 2012, as private inventory investment and federal government spending moderated. GDP growth rose to 1.1% during the first quarter of 2013. According to the second estimate from the US Commerce Department, GDP growth increased to a 2.5% annual pace during the second quarter of 2013.
Although US economic data was mixed at times, there were continued signs of the long-awaited recovery in the housing market. In addition, while unemployment remained elevated, the unemployment rate dropped from 7.7% in February 2013 to 7.3% in August 2013.
With unemployment falling and some signs of improving economic activity the Federal Reserve (the Fed) announced its intention to begin tapering it monthly $85 billion asset purchase program. This triggered sharply rising yields and declining bond prices. The yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond rose from 1.89% at the beginning of the reporting period to 2.78% at August 31, 2013. While long-term rates have increased, the Fed has indicated that it intends to maintain the Fed Funds rate in the 0.0% to 0.25% range as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6.5%, provided that inflations remain well contained.

recovery is on solid footing. Concerns of higher interest rates impacting the housing market, geopolitical issues and an impasse in Congress regarding the raising of the debt ceiling may also contribute to market volatility.
With respect to the US economy, an important factor going forward will be consumer spending, as it comprises in excess of two-thirds of GDP. While the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 has had a significant impact on consumers mindset, auto and retail sales have been generally solid. In addition, it appears that as the employment situation improves, consumer confidence will likely rise and spending should follow. This could help drive the economy during the remainder of the year and into 2014.

(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 typically reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as changing views about the Fund, market conditions, supply and demand for 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) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly per common share dividend (comprised of net investment income) by the market price per common share at August 31, 2013.
(3) 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).

AllianzGI Convertible & Income Funds
August 31, 2013 (unaudited)
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. 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, and the rules and regulations thereunder. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the Investment Manager) and Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (the Sub-Adviser) serve as the Funds investment manager and sub-adviser, respectively, and are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P., (AAM). 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.
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 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 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. 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.
The Board of Trustees (the Board) has adopted procedures for valuing portfolio securities and other financial derivative instruments in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated the responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser. The

August 31, 2013 (unaudited)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Funds Valuation Committee 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. The Sub-Adviser monitors the continued appropriateness of methods applied and determines if adjustments should be made in light of market changes, events affecting the issuer, or other factors. If 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 the appropriateness of the valuation methods and these methods may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Valuation Committee.
Synthetic convertible securities are valued based on quotations obtained from unaffiliated brokers who are the principal market-makers in such securities. Such valuations are derived by the brokers from proprietary models which are generally based on readily available market information including valuation of the common stock underlying the synthetic security.
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.
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 as of 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) |
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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the six months ended August 31, 2013 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

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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.
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 and notes 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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. Conversion premium is not amortized. Payments received on synthetic convertible securities are generally included in dividend income. Consent fees are related to corporate actions and recorded when received. 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 be subsequently be reclassified as realized gains and/or return of capital upon receipt of information from the issuer.
(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. 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, 2013, 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 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
(e) Dividends and Distributions 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 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) Convertible Securities
It is the Funds policy to invest a portion of their assets in convertible securities. Although convertible securities do 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 more 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 still less than that of the underlying stock.
2. Principal Risk
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 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 securitys market price to interest rate (i.e. yield) movements.
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, 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.
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 risks 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

Changes to By-laws Convertible & Income II:
Effective September 18, 2013, Convertible & Income II adopted amended and restated by-laws (By-laws) that incorporate updated ratings criteria issued by Fitch, Inc. (Fitch) on August 16, 2011 (the 2011 Fitch Criteria) applicable to Convertible & Income IIs outstanding auction rate preferred shares (Preferred Shares). The 2011 Fitch Criteria updates and replaces the Fitch preferred shares ratings criteria published in 2009 (2009 Fitch Criteria). According to Fitch, the core ratings methodology from the 2009 Fitch Criteria has remained intact. Key components of the 2011 Fitch Criteria as cited by Fitch include, among others, updated asset discount factors, reclassification of certain sectors for assessing diversification, clarification to the treatment of various liabilities, and expansion of ratings criteria to additional leverage forms. The 2011 Fitch Criteria is available on the Fitch website (www.fitchratings.com) and is incorporated by reference into Convertible & Income IIs By-laws. In August, 2013, Fitch adopted further updates to its preferred shares ratings criteria, which is under consideration but has not been adopted by Convertible & Income II.
