At the beginning of the twelve-month period, U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) was growing at a 3.7% annualized rate between January and March of 2010. This eased to 1.7% during the second quarter of 2010 before accelerating to a 2.6% and 2.8% annualized rate, in the third and fourth quarters of 2010, respectively. In January and February of 2011 this strengthening trend continued.
U.S. Treasury bonds fluctuated considerably during the twelve-month period. At the start of the period, signs that the economy was improving prompted investors to shift out of Treasuries and into corporate bonds and stocks. As a result, Treasury prices fell and by April 2010, the yield on the benchmark 10-year bond had climbed to 4.01%. However, concerns about the strength and durability of the economic recovery, sovereign debt in certain European countries and a cooling Chinese economy triggered a reversal. By October 2010, the 10-year Treasury yielded 2.41%. But as those concerns waned, there was yet another shift. At the close of the fiscal twelve-month period, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rebounded to 3.42%.
The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) indicated it would purchase up to $900 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds through June 2011. The goal of this quantitative

easing is to keep stimulating the economy by lowering interest rates. The Fed maintained its closely-watched Federal Funds Rate, the interest rate banks charge to lend federal funds to other banks, usually on an overnight basis, in the 0.0% to 0.25% range. The Fed also maintained the discount rate, the interest rate charged to banks for direct loans at 0.75% throughout the reporting period.
Positioned to Face Todays Challenges
After what has been a good period for corporate bonds, we are
cautious about the next twelve months. Interest rates have begun to move
higher; inflation is making a comeback and dividends are increasing up nearly
15% from 2010 levels, according to Standard & Poors as many corporations
focus on enhancing shareholder value. While these events are positive for
stockholders, they could potentially indicate an increase in credit risk. Interest
rate, inflation and credit risk may spell more modest returns for investors.

February 28, 2011 (unaudited) |
For the 12-month period ended February 28, 2011, AGIC Convertible & Income Fund returned 27.27% on NAV and 33.53% on market price. AGIC Convertible & Income Fund II returned 27.51% on NAV and 32.85% on market price.
Market EnvironmentConvertibles
Although market sentiment varied throughout the reporting
period, the net result for the convertible market was solid.
The factors driving performance through the fiscal year end did not change significantly from earlier in the reporting period. Although several hiccups occurred throughout the period, including mixed economic statistical releases and European sovereign concerns, these risks rose then abated quickly. Ultimately, stronger corporate profitability and an improving economy had the greatest influence on investor sentiment. Improved balance sheets and operating performance of issuers were supplemented by massive new corporate issuance volume that bolstered liquidity and reduced high-cost debt. Political risk abated after the November elections, and more accommodative decisions were made in Washington regarding taxes and further monetary policy easing (QE2). These factors also led to a healthy year-end rally in the equity markets and a sell-off in the Treasury market, all of which added to the general appetite for convertible investing.
After an impressive return in the fourth quarter of 2009 of the period, the BofA Merrill Lynch All Convertible Index enjoyed another good year of performance and had double digit returns in the reporting period.
Convertibles moved up in line with their historical equity upside participation in the fourth quarter of the period. Unlike the first half of the period where credit improvement was the bigger driver of returns, equity contributed more later in the period.
For the reporting period, all industries posted positive returns. Leading industries included Energy, Industrials, Materials and Consumer Discretionary. Industrials and Consumer Discretionary names performed well on better-than-expected earnings. Materials companies moved higher as commodity prices rose due to the improving global economy. Energy issuers were positively impacted as the macro headlines helped sentiment on the group. Underperforming industries included Healthcare, Media and Transportation. The Transportation industry underperformed because higher oil prices may hurt future earnings.
Below-investment-grade issuers and smaller-capitalized companies outperformed in the reporting period. Total return convertibles outperformed the yield and busted categories.
New convertible issuance picked up during the fourth quarter of 2010 as twenty-six new deals priced for $12.7 billion in total proceeds. This brought the full 2010 new issuance to $33.8 billion. In the first half of 2010, many companies accessed the corporate debt markets instead of the convertible markets in order to avoid shareholder dilution at depressed stock prices. As the equity markets moved higher, new convertible issuance increased.
Market EnvironmentHigh Yield
The BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index had
positive returns for the fourth quarter of the period ended February 28, 2011,
and was up double digits for the period. By way of comparison, the high yield
market outperformed the 10-year Treasury return, which had negative performance
for the fourth quarter, and was up single digits for 2010.
For the period, all industries again contributed to the index return. Leading industries included Broadcasting, Technology and Gaming. While all industries were positive in the period, the laggards included Banks, Airlines and Cable TV.
New issuance in the quarter was again robust as one hundred ninety-five deals priced, raising $91 billion in proceeds for issuers. For 2010, 653 issues priced, raising more than $300 billion. The new issuance dollar amount easily exceeded the next-largest year2009with $180 billion. Looking at the 2010 use of proceeds, 66.5% was used for refinancing. Interestingly, refinancing dropped to 54% by December, while acquisition financing and general corporate purposes increased, a positive trend for corporate financial flexibility.
The ratio of upgrades to downgrades was 1.4:1 in the fourth quarter of 2010, with 104 upgrades and 73 downgrades. The positive credit trend remains consistent. The trailing twelve-month default rate ended the quarter at approximately 2.3% on an issuer-weighted basis. On a dollar-weighted basis, the lagging twelve-month default rate was only 0.8%.

High Yield Holdings
Multiple factors contributed to the performance for the
reporting period. First, superior issuer selection was easy to identify, as
several issuers were taken out via tenders due to merger, acquisition and
refinancing activity. These issues came from a variety of industries, but
specific notable movers came from the Energy, Metals and Industrials
industries. Next, and equally additive, was the lack of negative contributors.
While the year ended positively, and the rising tide lifted most boats, there
was some choppiness for both the index and peer group. Another challenge, and
newer to the scheme of recent risks, was the rising 10-year Treasury yield.
Most industries in the funds portfolios generated positive performance in the period. Among the best were Energy, Utilities and Chemicals. These industries were among the many to benefit from continued issuers operating performance strength and investor conviction in the rebound in the economy.
There were few negative performers, and no negative returns in any one industry. Lagging industry allocations included broadcasting, telecommunications wireline and homebuilders. The funds had no portfolio allocation to broadcasting, which moved higher in the period. An overweight to telecom hurt due to some of the lower quality or higher beta issuers outperforming in the period. Homebuilders moved higher in the period, and the portfolio exposure was positive, but not as high as the benchmark weight.
New buys were again plentiful in the fourth quarter of 2010. The majority were identified through the enormous new issuance calendar. Because of that volume, it was again prudent to be selective. The issuers added were diversified among many industries. Options were abundant amid the expanding economic rebound. One industry of note was energy. The majority of all new issuance fell into the category of refinancing activity. In energy, several of the new issues were names new to the market. The issues not only exhibited solid current operations, with positive outlook for growth in 2011 and beyond, they also represented some of the best total return characteristics.
Outlook
Our outlook for the equity, high yield and convertible
market is positive. The improvement in corporate earnings seen in the third
quarter earnings continued in the fourth quarter of 2010. U.S. corporate cash
levels are high, debt levels have been reduced and maturities have been
extended. In addition, consumers are spending again and labor conditions are
improving.
In 2011, we expect companies may use the high cash levels on their balance sheets and future free cash flow to help boost shareholder value. Share buybacks, increased dividends and merger and acquisition activity are possible uses of excess cash. We believe these factors will benefit investors in the high yield, convertible and equity markets.
While we expect credit spread tightening should continue as high yield credit spreads remain above the historical average, positive convertible returns will be dependent on the equity markets going forward. Even though global and economic risk headlines persist, driving a continuation of choppy directional short-term performance, few companies have seen a change in demand or order patterns. Fundamentals remain intact and this should provide a positive backdrop for the U.S. equity markets. We believe convertible bonds should benefit from credit spread tightening and higher equity prices, an attractive option for total return investors. High yield bonds should benefit from the further credit spread contraction and exhibit stability to the downside.
The Funds disciplined approach of focusing on companies that are exceeding expectations and improving their credit statistics may be rewarded as those companies differentiate themselves from their peer group. In this environment, we believe companies that have reasonable earnings visibility should command premium valuations relative to other companies.
We continue to build the Funds portfolios one company at a time, by seeking to identify those that are opportunistically capitalizing on change. In addition, we are maintaining our discipline of seeking to identify the best total return candidates with the optimal risk/reward profile.

Moodys Ratings |
(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 and capital gain 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.
Performance at market price will differ from its results at NAV. Although market price returns typically reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as changing views about the Funds, market conditions, supply and demand for the Funds shares, or changes in 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 onetime 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 share dividend (comprised of net investment income) payable to common shareholders by the market price per common share at February 28, 2011.

1. Organization and
Significant Accounting Policies
AGIC Convertible & Income Fund (Convertible & Income) and AGIC Convertible & Income Fund II (Convertible & Income
II), each a Fund and collectively referred to as 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 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. Each Fund has an unlimited amount of $0.00001 par value per share of
common shares authorized.
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 achieve 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 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 which provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:
(a) Valuation of
Investments
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for
which market quotations are readily available, are stated at market value.
Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales
prices, or if no sales are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a
quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing
services.
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security, are fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, or persons acting at their discretion pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees. 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. 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 valuations 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 securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and these differences could be material to each 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.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(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 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 technique used.
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the year ended February 28, 2011 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. When fair-valuing securities, the Funds utilized multi-dimensional relational pricing models.
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).
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.
Convertible Bonds & Notes Convertible bonds and 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 and 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 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.

(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
premiums is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt
securities purchased are accreted or amortized, respectively, to interest
income by using the yield-to-worst methodology, using the lower of either the
yield to maturity or the yield to call on every possible call date over the
lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Conversion premium is not amortized. Payments received on synthetic convertible securities are generally included in dividends. 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. The Funds management has determined that its evaluation has resulted in no material impact to the Funds financial statements at February 28, 2011. 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
monthly to common shareholders. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if
any, are paid at least annually. The Funds record dividends and distributions
to its respective shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends
and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are
determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ
from 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 enters 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 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 useful primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income securitys 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 a variable or floating rate securities, a decrease (or, in the case of inverse floating

2. Principal Risk (continued)
rate securities, an increase) in market interest rates will adversely affect the income received from such securities and the NAV of the Funds shares.
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 equity securities, such as common and preferred stock and securities convertible into equity securities, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities 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 Funds sub-adviser, Allianz Global Investors Capital LLC (AGIC or the Sub-Adviser), an affiliate of the Investment Manager, 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 the purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.
The Funds held synthetic convertible securities with Lehman Brothers entities as counterparty at the time the relevant Lehman Brothers entity filed for protection or was placed in administration. The values of the relevant securities have been written down to their estimated recoverable values.
On April 8, 2011, the Funds sold these synthetic convertible securities. The sale of the General Mills, Inc. security resulted in a net asset value per common share increase of $0.03 and $0.04 for Convertible & Income and Convertible & Income II, respectively. The sale of Transocean, Inc. security resulted in a net asset value per common share increase of $0.02 for both Convertible & Income and Convertible & Income II.
3.
Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser
Each Fund has an Investment Management Agreement (each an
Agreement) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the
Funds Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager is responsible for managing,
either directly or through others selected by it, the Funds investment
activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to each
Agreement, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable monthly, at
the annual rate of 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).
The Investment Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to manage the Funds investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for making all of the Funds investment decisions. The Investment Manager, and not the Funds, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Adviser in return for its services.
Effective August 25, 2010, the Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Investment Manager and Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management LLC (NACM) relating to the Funds were novated from NACM to AGIC, the indirect parent of NACM. The novations coincided with a larger corporate reorganization transferring the advisory businesses of NACM and Oppenheimer Capital LLC (OCC) to AGIC. Since 2009, AGIC has assumed a number of non-advisory functions from both NACM and OCC, and the transaction in August 2010 marked the last step in the full integration of these businesses under a single name.

5. Income Tax Information
Convertible & Income:
For the years ended
February 28, 2011 and February 28, 2010, dividends paid of $93,561,577 and
$79,507,476, respectively, were comprised entirely of ordinary income.
At February 28, 2011, distributable earnings of $2,551,875 was comprised entirely of ordinary income.
For the year ended February 28, 2011, permanent book-tax differences were primarily attributable to the differing treatment of premium amortization, convertible preferred securities and consent payments. These adjustments were to decrease dividends in excess of net investment income and increase accumulated net realized loss by $1,013,071.
At February 28, 2011, Convertible & Income had a capital loss carryforward of $390,325,891, (of which $1,183,341 will expire in 2016, $131,342,119 will expire in 2017 and $257,800,431 will expire in 2018) available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of any future net realized gains. To the extent that these losses are used to offset future realized capital gains, such gains will not be distributed.
During the year ended February 28, 2011, Convertible & Income utilized $11,608,814 of available capital loss carryforwards.
The cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,006,845,880. Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for securities in which there was an excess value over tax cost was $126,424,694; aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $59,396,576; net unrealized appreciation for federal income tax purposes was $67,028,118. The difference between book and tax basis unrealized was attributable to wash sales and the differing treatment of bond premium amortization and convertible preferred securities.
Convertible & Income II:
For the years ended
February 28, 2011 and February 28, 2010, dividends paid of $71,852,345 and
$69,200,358, respectively, were comprised entirely of ordinary income.
At February 28, 2011, distributable earnings of $1,389,931 was comprised entirely of ordinary income.
For the year ended February 28, 2011, permanent book-tax differences were primarily attributable to the differing treatment of premium amortization, convertible preferred securities and consent payments.

The Funds are subject to certain limitations and restrictions while Preferred Shares are outstanding. Failure to comply with these limitations and restrictions could preclude the Funds 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 value 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 Funds have been directly impacted by an unprecedented lack of liquidity, which has similarly affected ARPS holders in many of the nations closed-end funds. Since then, regularly scheduled auctions for ARPS issued by the Funds 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, equal to 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 Funds 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 Funds common shareholders could be adversely affected.
See Note 7 Legal Proceedings below for a discussion of shareholder demand letters received by the Funds and certain other closed end funds managed by the Investment Manager.
7. Legal Proceedings
In June and September
2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates (including PEA
Capital LLC (PEA), Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC and Allianz
Global Investors of America, L.P.), agreed to settle, without admitting or
denying the allegations, claims brought by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and the New Jersey Attorney General alleging violations of
federal and state securities laws with respect to certain open-end funds for
which the Investment Manager serves as investment adviser. The settlements
related to an alleged market timing arrangement in certain open-end funds
formerly sub-advised by PEA. The Investment Manager and its affiliates agreed
to pay a total of $68 million to settle the claims. In addition to monetary
payments, the settling parties agreed to undertake certain corporate
governance, compliance and disclosure reforms related to market timing, and
consented to cease and desist orders and censures. Subsequent to these events,
PEA deregistered as an investment adviser and dissolved. None of the
settlements alleged that any inappropriate activity took place with respect to
the Funds.
Since February 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in a number of pending lawsuits concerning market timing, which allege the same or similar conduct underlying the regulatory settlements discussed above. The market timing lawsuits have been consolidated in a multidistrict 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, but the settlement remains subject to the approval of the MDL Court.

7. Legal Proceedings (continued)
Beginning in May 2010, several closed-end funds managed by the Investment Manager, including the Funds, each received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf of certain common shareholders. The demand letters alleged 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 demanded that the boards of trustees take certain action to remedy those alleged breaches. After conducting an investigation, in August 2010 the independent trustees of the Funds 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.

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
AGIC Convertible
& Income Fund
AGIC Convertible & Income Fund II
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the AGIC Convertible & Income Fund and AGIC Convertible & Income Fund II (the Funds) at February 28, 2011, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as financial statements) are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at February 28, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

of Trustees (unaudited) |
Tax Information:
Pursuant to the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, Convertible & Income and Convertible & Income II designate 19.26% and 18.89%, respectively, of ordinary dividends paid by the Funds during the year ended February 28, 2011 (or the maximum allowable amount) as Qualified Dividend Income.
The percentage of ordinary dividends paid by Convertible & Income and Convertible & Income II during the year ended February 28, 2011 which qualified for the Dividends Received Deduction available to corporate shareholders was 19.26% and 18.89%, respectively, (or the maximum allowable amount).
Since the Funds tax year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent with respect to calendar year 2011. In January 2012, shareholders will be advised on IRS Form 1099 DIV as to the federal tax status of dividends and distributions received during calendar 2011. The amount that will be reported will be the amount to use on your 2011 federal income tax return and may differ from the amount which must be reported in connection with the Funds tax year ended February 28, 2011. Shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisers as to the federal, state and local tax status of the dividend income received from the Funds.

Privacy Policy/Proxy Voting Policies |

|
& Procedures (unaudited) |
Privacy Policy:
Obtaining Personal
Information
In the course of providing
shareholders with products and services, we may obtain non-public personal
information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account
applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal
correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholders brokerage
or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from
information captured on our internet web sites.
Respecting Your
Privacy
As a matter of
policy, we do not disclose any personal or account information provided by
shareholders or gathered by us to non-affiliated third parties, except as
required for everyday business purposes, such as to process transactions or
service a shareholders account, or otherwise permitted by law. As is common in
the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide
certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account
statements and other information, and gathering shareholder proxies. We may
also retain non-affiliated financial services providers, such as
broker-dealers, to market our shares and products and we may enter in
joint-marketing agreements with them and other financial companies. We may also
retain marketing and research service firms to conduct research on shareholder
satisfaction. These companies may have access to a shareholders personal and
account information, but are permitted to use the information solely to provide
the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. We may also provide a
shareholders personal and account information to their respective brokerage or
financial advisory firm, Custodian, and/or to their financial adviser or
consultant.
Sharing Information
with Third Parties
We reserve the right
to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in
limited circumstances, where we believe in good faith that disclosure is
required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities,
to protect our rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in
which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, we may disclose
information about a shareholder or shareholders accounts to a non-affiliated
third party only if we receive a shareholders written request or consent.
Sharing Information
with Affiliates
We may share
shareholder information with our affiliates in connection with our affiliates
everyday business purposes, such as servicing a shareholders account, but our
affiliates may not use this information to market products and services to you
except in conformance with applicable laws or regulations. The information we
share includes information about our experiences and transactions with a
shareholder and may include, for example, shareholders participation in one of
the Funds or in other investment programs, a shareholders ownership of certain
types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholders
transactions or accounts. Our affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share
shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or
permitted by law.
Procedures to
Safeguard Private Information
We take seriously
the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In
addition to this policy, we have also implemented procedures that are designed
to restrict access to a shareholders non-public personal information only to
internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide
products or services to such shareholders. In addition, we have physical,
electronic and procedural safeguards in place to guard a shareholders
non-public personal information.
Disposal of
Confidential Records
We will dispose of
records, if any, that are knowingly derived from data received from a consumer
reporting agency regarding a shareholder that is an individual in a manner that
ensures the confidentiality of the data is maintained. Such records include,
among other things, copies of consumer reports and notes of conversations with
individuals at consumer agencies.

Proxy Voting
Policies & Procedures:

polices and procedures that the Funds have adopted to determine how to vote
proxies relating to portfolio securities and information about how the Funds

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

If on the payment date the net asset value of the Common Shares is equal to or less than the market price per Common Share plus estimated brokerage commissions that would be incurred upon the purchase of Common Shares on the open market, the Funds will issue new shares at the greater of (i) the net asset value per Common Share on the payment date or (ii) 95% of the market price per Common Share on the payment date; or |
|
|
(2) |
If on the payment date the net asset value of the Common Shares is greater than the market price per Common Share plus estimated brokerage commissions that would be incurred upon the purchase of Common Shares on the open market, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and will purchase Common Shares in the open market, on the NYSE or elsewhere, for the participants accounts. It is possible that the market price for the Common Shares may increase before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases. Therefore, the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the market price on the payment date, resulting in the purchase of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in Common Shares issued by the Funds. The Plan Agent will use all dividends and distributions received in cash to purchase Common Shares in the open market on or shortly after the payment date, but in no event later than the ex-dividend date for the next distribution. Interest will not be paid on any uninvested cash payments. |
You may withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving notice to the Plan Agent. If you withdraw or the Plan is terminated, you will receive a certificate for each whole share in your account under the Plan and you will receive a cash payment for any fraction of a share in your account. If you wish, the Plan Agent will sell your shares and send you the proceeds, minus brokerage commissions.
The Plan Agent maintains all shareholders accounts in the Plan and gives written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information you may need for tax records. The Plan Agent will also furnish each person who buys Common Shares with written instructions detailing the procedures for electing not to participate in the Plan and to instead receive distributions in cash. Common Shares in your account will be held by the Plan Agent in non-certificated form. Any proxy you receive will include all Common Shares you have received under the Plan.
There is no brokerage charge for reinvestment of your dividends or distributions in Common Shares. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Agent when it makes open market purchases.
Automatically reinvested dividends and distributions are taxed in the same manner as cash dividends and distributions.
The Funds and the Plan Agent reserve the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Funds reserve the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Additional information about the Plan may be obtained from the Funds shareholder servicing agent, BNY Mellon, P.O. Box 43027, Providence, RI 02940-3027, telephone number (800) 254-5197.

|
|
|
|
|
AGIC Convertible & Income Fund II (The Fund) |
AUDIT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE POLICY FOR PRE-APPROVAL OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Funds Audit Oversight Committee (Committee) is charged with the oversight of the Funds financial reporting policies and practices and their internal controls. As part of this responsibility, the Committee must pre-approve any independent accounting firms engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement by the independent accountants, the Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountants independence. The Committees evaluation will be based on:
a review of the nature of the professional services expected to provided,
the fees to be charged in connection with the services expected to be provided,
a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and
periodic meetings with the accounting firm.
POLICY FOR AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED TO THE FUNDS
On an annual basis, the Funds Committee will review and pre-approve the scope of the audits of the Funds and proposed audit fees and permitted non-audit (including audit-related) services that may be performed by the Funds independent accountants. At least annually, the Committee will receive a report of all audit and non-audit services that were rendered in the previous calendar year pursuant to this Policy. In addition to the Committees pre-approval of services pursuant to this Policy, the engagement of the independent accounting firm for any permitted non-audit service provided to the Fund will also require the separate written pre-approval of the President of the Fund, who will confirm, independently, that the accounting firms engagement will not adversely affect the firms independence. All non-audit services performed by the independent accounting firm will be disclosed, as required, in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
AUDIT SERVICES
The categories of audit services and related fees to be reviewed and pre-approved annually by the Committee are:
Annual Fund
financial statement audits
Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required)
SEC and regulatory filings and consents
Semiannual financial statement reviews
AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES
The following categories of audit-related services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Funds independent accountants and services falling under one of these categories will be pre-approved by the Committee on an annual basis if the Committee deems those services to be consistent with the accounting firms independence:
Accounting
consultations
Fund merger support services
Agreed upon procedure reports (inclusive of the annual review of Basic
Maintenance testing associated with issuance of Preferred Shares)
Other attestation reports
Comfort
letters
Other internal control reports
Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process described above, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firms independence, by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $250,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
TAX SERVICES
The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Funds independent accountants and services falling under one of these categories will be pre-approved by the Committee on an annual basis if the Committee deems those services to be consistent with the accounting firms independence:
Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following:
Federal, state
and local income tax compliance; and, sales and use tax compliance
Timely RIC qualification reviews
Tax distribution analysis and planning
Tax authority examination services
Tax appeals support services
Accounting methods studies
Fund merger support service
Other tax consulting services and related projects
Individual tax services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process described above, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firms independence, by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $250,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
PROSCRIBED SERVICES
The Funds independent accountants will not render services in the following categories of non-audit services:
Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Funds Financial information systems design and implementation
Appraisal or
valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports
Actuarial services
Internal audit outsourcing services
Management functions or human resources
Broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services
Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit
Any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
determines, by regulation, is impermissible
PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED TO OTHER ENTITIES WITHIN THE FUND COMPLEX
The Committee will pre-approve annually any permitted non-audit services to be provided to Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (Formerly, PA Fund Management LLC) or any other investment manager to the Funds (but not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted by the investment manager) (the Investment Manager) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Investment Manager that provides ongoing services to the Fund (including affiliated sub-advisers to the Fund), provided, in each case, that the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund (such entities, including the Investment Manager, shall be referred to herein as the Accounting Affiliates). Individual projects that are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firms independence, by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $250,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Although the Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Funds independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to the Investment Manager and its affiliates.
DE MINIMUS EXCEPTION TO REQUIREMENT OF PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES
With respect to the provision of permitted non-audit services to a Fund or Accounting Affiliates, the pre-approval requirement is waived if:
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1) |
The aggregate amount of all such permitted non-audit services provided constitutes no more than (i) with respect to such services provided to the Fund, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its independent accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided, and (ii) with respect to such services provided to Accounting Affiliates, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid to the Funds independent accountant by the Fund and the Accounting Affiliates during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(2) |
Such services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement for such services to be non-audit services; and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(3) |
Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Committee or by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this Committee Chairman or other delegate shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. |
|
|
|
|
|
e) |
2. No services were approved pursuant to the procedures contained in paragraph (C) (7) (i) (C) of Rule 2-01 of Registration S-X. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
f) |
Not applicable |
|
|
|
|
|
|
g) |
Non-audit fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to the Adviser, for the 2010 Reporting Period was $566,790 and the 2011 Reporting Period was $2,712,320. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
h) |
Auditor Independence. The Registrants Audit Oversight Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Adviser which were not pre-approved is compatible with maintaining the Auditors independence. |
ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANT

The audit committee of the Fund is comprised of Paul Belica, Hans W. Kertess, Alan Rappaport, William B. Ogden, IV, James A. Jacobson, Bradford K. Gallagher and Deborah A. Zoullas.

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

Appendix B
Allianz Global Investors Capital (AGI Capital)
Description of Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures
AGI Capital typically votes proxies as part of its discretionary authority to manage accounts, unless the client has explicitly reserved the authority for itself. When voting proxies, AGI Capital seeks to make voting decisions solely in the best interests of its clients and to enhance the economic value of the underlying portfolio securities held in its clients accounts.
AGI Capital has adopted written Proxy Policy Guidelines and Procedures (the Proxy Guidelines) that are reasonably designed to ensure that the firm is voting in the best interest of its clients. The Proxy Guidelines reflect AGI Capitals general voting positions on specific corporate governance issues and corporate actions. AGI Capital has retained an independent third party service provider (the Proxy Provider) to assist in the proxy voting process by implementing the votes in accordance with the Proxy Guidelines as well as assisting in the administrative process. In certain circumstances, a client may request in writing that AGI Capital vote proxies for its account in accordance with a set of guidelines which differs from the Proxy Guidelines. In that case, AGI Capital will vote the shares held by such client accounts in accordance with their direction which may be different from the vote cast for shares held on behalf of other client accounts that vote in accordance with the Proxy Guidelines.
AGI Capital will generally refrain from voting proxies on foreign securities that are subject to share blocking restrictions. Certain countries require the freezing of shares for trading purposes at the custodian/sub-custodian bank level in order to vote proxies to ensure that shareholders voting at meetings continue to hold the shares through the actual shareholder meeting. However, because AGI Capital cannot anticipate every proxy proposal that may arise (including a proxy proposal that an analyst and/or portfolio manager believes has the potential to significantly affect the economic value of the underlying security, such as proxies relating to mergers and acquisitions), AGI Capital may, from time to time, instruct the Proxy Provider to cast a vote for a proxy proposal in a share blocked country.
The Proxy Guidelines also provide for oversight of the proxy voting process by a Proxy Committee. The Proxy Committee meets at a minimum on an annual basis and when necessary to address potential conflicts of interest. AGI Capital may have conflicts of interest that can affect how it votes its clients proxies. In order to ensure that all material conflicts of interest are addressed appropriately while carrying out AGI Capitals obligation to vote proxies, the Proxy Committee is responsible for developing a process to identify proxy voting issues that may raise conflicts of interest between AGI Capital and its clients and to resolve such issues. Any deviations from the Proxy Guidelines will
be documented and maintained in accordance with Rule 204-2 under the Investment Advisers Act.
The Proxy Committee monitors the outsourcing of voting obligations to the Proxy Provider and AGI Capitals proxy voting recordkeeping practices; adheres to a process for resolution of voting issues that require a case-by-case analysis; and, to the extent the Proxy Guidelines do not cover potential proxy voting issues, determines a process for voting such issues.
In accordance with the Proxy Guidelines, AGI Capital may review additional criteria associated with voting proxies and evaluate the expected benefit to its clients when making an overall determination on how or whether to vote a proxy. Upon receipt of a clients written request, AGI Capital may also vote proxies for that clients account in a particular manner that may differ from the Proxy Guidelines. In addition, AGI Capital may refrain from voting a proxy on behalf of its clients accounts due to de-minimis holdings, immaterial impact on the portfolio, items relating to non-U.S. issuers (such as those described below), non-discretionary holdings not covered by AGI Capital, timing issues related to the opening/closing of accounts, securities lending issues (see below), contractual arrangements with clients and/or their authorized delegate, the timing of receipt of information, or where circumstances beyond its control prevent it from voting. These issues may include, but are not limited to: (i) proxy statements and ballots being written in a foreign language, (ii) untimely notice of a shareholder meeting, (iii) requirements to vote proxies in person, (iv) restrictions on foreigners ability to exercise votes, (v) restrictions on the sale of securities for a period of time in proximity to the shareholder meeting, or (vi) requirements to provide local agents with power of attorney to facilitate the voting instructions. Such proxies are voted on a best-efforts basis.
If a client has decided to participate in a securities lending program, AGI Capital will defer to the clients determination and not attempt to recall securities on loan solely for the purpose of voting routine proxies as this could impact the returns received from securities lending and make the client a less desirable lender in the marketplace. If the participating client requests, AGI Capital will use reasonable efforts to notify the client of proxy measures that AGI Capital deems material.

Like other investment professionals with multiple clients, a Portfolio Manager for a Fund may face certain potential conflicts of interest in connection with managing both the Fund and other accounts at the same time. The paragraphs below describe some conflicts faced by investment professionals at most major financial firms. |
|
|
|
The Investment Adviser has adopted compliance policies and procedures that address certain of these potential conflicts. The management of accounts with different advisory fee rates and/or fee structures, including accounts that pay advisory fees based on account performance (performance fee accounts) may raise potential conflicts of interest by creating an incentive to favor higher-fee accounts. These potential conflicts may include, among others: |
|
|
|
|
|
The most attractive investments could be allocated to higher-fee accounts or performance fee accounts. |
|
|
The trading of higher-fee accounts could be favored as to timing and/or execution price. For example, higher-fee accounts could be permitted to sell securities earlier than other accounts when a prompt sale is desirable or to buy securities at an earlier and more opportune time. |
|
|
The investment management team could focus their time and efforts primarily on higher-fee accounts due to a personal stake in compensation. |
|
|
|
When the Investment Adviser considers the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of a Fund as well as other accounts, the Investment Advisers trading desk may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased. Aggregation of trades may create the potential for unfairness to a Fund or another account if one account is favored over another in allocating the securities purchased or soldfor example, by allocating a disproportionate amount of a security that is likely to increase in value to a favored account. The Investment Adviser considers many factors when allocating securities among accounts, including the accounts investment style, applicable investment restrictions, availability of securities, available cash and other current holdings. The Investment Adviser attempts to allocate investment opportunities among accounts in a fair and equitable manner. However, accounts are not assured of participating equally or at all in particular investment allocations due to such factors as noted above. |
|
|
|
Cross trades, in which one Investment Adviser account sells a particular security to another account (potentially saving transaction costs for both accounts), may also pose a potential conflict of interest when cross trades are effected in a manner perceived to favor one client over another. For example, if the Investment Advisor crosses a trade between performance fee account and a fixed fee account that result in a benefit to the performance fee account and a detriment to the fixed fee account. The Investment Adviser has adopted compliance procedures that provide that all cross trades are to be made at an independent current market price, as required by law. |
|
|
|
Another potential conflict of interest may arise from the different investment objectives and strategies of a Fund and other accounts. For example, another account may have a shorter-term investment horizon or different investment objectives, policies or restrictions than a Fund. Depending on another accounts objectives or other factors, a Portfolio Manager may give advice and make decisions that may differ from advice given, or the timing or nature of decisions made, with respect to a Fund. In addition, investment decisions are subject to suitability for the particular account involved. Thus, a particular security may not be bought or sold for certain accounts even though it was bought or sold for other accounts at the same time. More rarely, a particular security may be bought for one or more accounts managed by a Portfolio Manager when one or more other accounts are selling the security (including short sales). There may be circumstances when purchases or sales of portfolio securities for one or more accounts may have an adverse effect on other accounts. The Investment Adviser maintains trading policies designed to provide portfolio managers an opportunity to minimize the effect that short sales in one portfolio may have on holdings in other portfolios. |
|
|
|
A Portfolio Manager who is responsible for managing multiple accounts may devote unequal time and attention to the management of those accounts. As a result, the Portfolio Manager may not be able to formulate as complete a strategy or identify equally attractive investment opportunities for each of those accounts as might be the case if he or she were to devote substantially more attention to the management of a single fund. The effects of this potential conflict may be more pronounced where funds and/or accounts overseen by a particular Portfolio Manager have different investment strategies. |
|
|
|
A Funds Portfolio Manager(s) may be able to select or influence the selection of the broker/dealers that are used to execute securities transactions for the Fund. In addition to executing trades, some brokers and dealers provide the Investment Adviser with brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), which may result in the payment of higher brokerage fees than might have otherwise be available. These services may be more beneficial to certain funds or accounts than to others. In order to be assured of continuing to receive services considered of value to its clients, the Investment Adviser has adopted a brokerage allocation policy embodying the concepts of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Investment Adviser allocates the payment of brokerage commissions is subject to the requirement that the Portfolio Manager determine in good faith that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided to the Fund. |
|
|
|
A Funds Portfolio Manager(s) may also face other potential conflicts of interest in managing a Fund, and the description above is not a complete description of every conflict that could be deemed to exist in managing both the Funds and other accounts. In addition, a Funds Portfolio Manager may also manage other accounts (including their personal assets or the assets of family members) in their personal capacity. The Investment Advisers investment personnel, including each Funds Portfolio |
|
|
|
Manager, are subject to restrictions on engaging in personal securities transactions pursuant to the Allianz Global Investors of America L.P.s Code of Ethics, which contain provisions and requirements designed to identify and address conflicts of interest between personal investment activities and the interests of the Funds. The Code of Ethics is designed to ensure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of the Investment Adviser will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients (including the Funds) or (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. |
(a) (3)
As of February 28, 2011 the following explains the compensation structure of each individual who shares primary responsibility for day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund:
AGI Capitals compensation plan is designed specifically to be aligned with the interests of our clients. We aim to provide rewards for exceptional investment performance and build an enduring firm with a long-term culture of shared success. To that end, in addition to competitive base salaries, we offer both short- and long-term incentive plans.
|
Compensation and Investment Performance |
Short-term incentive pools for investment teams are annual discretionary bonuses funded by the firms revenue and allocated based on the performance of the strategies and the teams. The percentage allocated to an investment team is adjusted to reflect performance relative to the benchmark over a one-, three-, and five-year period (the timeframe may vary depending on the strategy). The team pools are then subjectively allocated to team members based on individual contributions to client accounts. This revenue sharing arrangement directly aligns compensation with investment performance. |
|
Long-Term Incentive Plan |
A Long-Term Incentive Plan provides rewards to certain key staff and executives of AGI Capital and the other Allianz Global Investors companies to promote long-term growth and profitability. The Plan is based on the firms operating earnings growth of both AGI Capital and Allianz Global Investors, has a three-year vesting schedule and is paid in cash upon vesting. |
|
Ownership |
Managing Directors at AGI Capital are provided with an interest that shares in the future growth and profitability of AGI Capital. Each unit is designed to deliver an annual distribution and a value based on the growth in profits. The plan has a five-year vesting schedule. |
The long-term components of our compensation structure are designed to link successful investment performance and longer-term company performance with participant pay,
further motivating key employees to continue making important contributions to the success of our business.
Overall, we believe that competitive compensation is essential to retaining top industry talent. With that in mind, we continually reevaluate our compensation policies against industry benchmarks. Our goal is to offer portfolio managers and analysts compensation and benefits in the top quartile for comparable experience, as measured by industry benchmarks surveyed by independent firms including McLagan Partners.
