PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund Letter to Shareholders |
November 16, 2009
Dear Shareholder:
Please find enclosed the semi-annual report for PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund (the Fund) for the fiscal six-month reporting period ended September 30, 2009.
Global stock and bond markets advanced during the fiscal six-month period as monetary authorities worldwide infused financial markets with unprecedented levels of liquidity in an effort to repair a global credit crisis. In response, investors moved capital away from government bonds and into riskier asset classes, including equities and corporate credit. In this environment, the Standard & Poors 500 Index, an unmanaged index that is generally representative of the U.S. stock market returned 34.02% during the fiscal six-month period. A weakening U.S. dollar benefited investment in international stocks relative to U.S. stocks. The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index (MSCI EAFE), an unmanaged index generally representative of the developed international equity market, returned 49.85% during the reporting period in U.S. dollar terms as the euro and yen strengthened relative to the dollar. The broad bond market, as measured by the unmanaged Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index returned 5.59% for the six-month reporting period ended September 30, 2009.
For specific information on the Fund and its performance, please review the following pages. If you have any questions regarding the information provided, we encourage you to contact your financial advisor or call the Funds shareholder servicing agent at (800) 254-5197. In addition, a wide range of information and resources is available on our website, www.allianzinvestors.com/closedendfunds.
Together with Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC, the Funds investment manager, and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, the Funds sub-adviser, we thank you for investing with us.
We remain dedicated to serving your investment needs.
Sincerely,
|
|
Hans W.

Performance & Statistics |
|
|
|
|
|
For the fiscal six-month period ended September 30, 2009, PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund (the Fund) returned 80.14% on net asset value (NAV) and 105.37% on market price. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Funds exposure to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (MSCI EAFE), which is obtained using total return swaps averaged 48% during the six-month reporting period. The MSCI EAFE Index returned 49.85% for the six-months ended September 30, 2009. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Fund had an average of 52% exposure to the domestic equity market via S&P 500 Index futures contracts during the fiscal six-month period, along with a defensive option strategy involving written calls and purchased puts on S&P 500 Index futures. The S&P 500 Index returned 34.02% during the reporting period. Overall, the option strategy detracted Fund performance returns as the gains in the equity markets pushed the written call options in-the-money, sacrificing upside potential, and purchased put options expired out-of-the money. |
|
|
|
|
Income and valuation changes were generated in a diversified fixed-income portfolio, which collateralizes the equity positions. Factors affecting fixed-income performance: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
On average, high-yield and investment-grade corporate bonds comprised 27% and 66% of the Fund, respectively, during the six-month period. These holdings, which were an important source of income, contributed positively to returns as their prices rose in response to increased demand for risky assets. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Funds average exposure to non-Agency mortgages was 30% for the six-months September 30, 2009. Government-sponsored programs and improved liquidity helped these securities generate positive price returns. |
|
|
|
|
|
The fixed-income securities had an average duration of 3.0 years during the fiscal six-month period. Duration exposure detracted from Fund performance as the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury increased, while a curve-steepening bias dampened returns as the U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Fund had an average exposure of 39% to Agency mortgages. Positions in these high-quality assets contributed positively to Fund performance as they outperformed like-duration U.S. Treasuries and produced income. |

(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or market price (as applicable) in the specified period. The calculation assumes that all income dividends and capital gain distributions if any, have been reinvested. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return.
Performance at market price will differ from its results at NAV. Although market price returns typically reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as changing views about the Fund, market conditions, supply and demand for the Funds shares, or changes in Fund dividends.
An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, market price, market yield and NAV will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information only and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a onetime public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. NAV is equal to total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily.
(2) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly per share dividend (comprised of net investment income) payable to shareholders by the market price per share at September 30, 2009.

PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund Notes to Financial Statements |
September 30, 2009 (unaudited) |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund (the Fund) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on February 16, 2005. Prior to commencing operations on May 31, 2005, the Fund had no operations other than matters relating to its organization as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder, as amended. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the Investment Manager), serves as the Funds Investment Manager and is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (Allianz Global). Allianz Global is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. The Fund has an unlimited amount of $0.00001 par value per share of common stock authorized.
The Funds investment objective is to seek total return comprised of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. The Fund normally attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing in equity index derivative instruments relating to U.S. and non-U.S. markets, backed by an actively-managed, low duration (one to three year) debt portfolio with an average credit quality that is investment grade. The Fund currently intends to gain substantially all of its equity index exposure by investing in equity index derivatives based on the Standard & Poors 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500 Index) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International® Europe, Australasia and the Far East Index (the MSCI EAFE Index). The Fund also will employ a strategy of writing (selling) call options on U.S. equity indexes, seeking to generate gains from option premiums which may limit the Funds gains from increases in the S&P 500 Index. Typically, substantially all the Funds assets will be invested in a portfolio of income-producing debt securities and debt-related derivative securities. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its stated objective.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Funds financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters 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 Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of any loss to be remote.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund:
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security, are fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, or persons acting at their discretion pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily available. The Funds investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price for those securities for which the over-the-counter market is the primary market or for listed securities in which there were no sales. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Exchange-traded futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. Investments initially valued in currencies other than U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the net asset value (NAV) of the Funds shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is closed and the NAV may change on days when an investor is not able to purchase or sell shares.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(a) Valuation of Investments (continued)
The prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and these differences could be material to the Funds financial statements. The Funds NAV is normally determined as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the NYSE on each day the NYSE is open for business.
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Fund has 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 the 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 Fund to measure fair value during the six months ended September 30, 2009 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. When fair-valuing securities, the Fund utilized a multi-dimensional relational pricing model and option-adjusted spread pricing as fair-value techniques.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
A summary of the inputs used at September 30, 2009 in valuing the Funds assets and liabilities is listed below:

Other Financial Instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, such as swap agreements, futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the instrument. |
The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of investments and other financial instruments, which the Fund held at September 30, 2009 was $543,978 and $(487,485), respectively. Realized gain (loss) and change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation are reflected on the Statement of Operations.
(c) Investment
Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.
Securities purchased and sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be
settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses on
investments are determined on an identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded
on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are
accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective
securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Facility fees
and other fees (such as origination fees) received by the Fund are amortized as
income over the expected term of the senior loan. Commitment fees received by
the Fund relating to unfunded purchase commitments are recorded as other fee
income upon receipt. Paydown gains and losses are netted and recorded as
interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(d) Federal Income
Taxes
The Fund intends to distribute all of its taxable income and
to comply with the other requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no
provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.
Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Fund, 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. Fund management has determined that its evaluation has resulted in no material impact to the Funds financial statements at September 30, 2009. The Funds federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

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

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(i) Reverse Repurchase Agreements (continued)
In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Funds use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted pending determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Funds obligation to repurchase the securities.
2. Principal Risk
In the normal course of business, the Fund trades 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 (credit/counterparty risk). The main risks from derivative instruments are interest rate, foreign currency, market price and credit/counterparty risks.
| 9.30.09 | PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund Semi-Annual Report 19
|
PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund Notes to Financial Statements |
September 30, 2009 (unaudited) (continued) |
2. Principal Risk (continued)
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 Fund is 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.
If a Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, the Funds investments in foreign currency-denominated securities may reduce the returns of the Fund.
The Fund may be subject to elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the U.S., due to concentrated investments in specific industries or investments in foreign issuers located in a specific country or region. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from future political or economic conditions in such country or region and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws of currency exchange restrictions affecting such country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies.
The market values of equity securities, such as common stock and preferred stock or equity-related investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity-related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.
The Fund may be exposed to credit risk on parties with whom it trades and will also bear the risk of settlement default. The Fund seeks to minimize concentrations of credit risk by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges. The Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivatives contract, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings.
Similar to credit risk, the Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss to the Fund could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the Funds financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Funds sub-adviser, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the Sub-Adviser), an affiliate of the Investment Manager, seeks to minimize the Funds counterparty risks by performing reviews of each counterparty. Delivery of securities sold is only made once the Fund has 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 Fund is party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (ISDA Master Agreements) with select counterparties that govern transactions, over-the-counter derivative and foreign exchange contracts, entered into by the Fund and those counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements contain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements of the Fund.

September 30, 2009 (unaudited) (continued) |
2. Principal Risk (continued)
The considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain purchases and sales made on a delayed-delivery basis are governed by Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (Master Forward Agreements) between the Fund and select counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral.
The Fund is also a party to Master Repurchase Agreements (Master Repo Agreements) with select counterparties. The Master Repo Agreements maintain provision for, initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral.
The credit risk associated with certain contracts may be reduced by master netting arrangements to the extent that if an event of default occurs, all amounts with the counterparty are terminated and settled on a net basis. The Funds overall exposure to credit risk with respect to transactions subject to master netting arrangements can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.
3. Market and Credit Risk
On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On September 19, 2008, a proceeding under the Securities Investor Protection Act (SIPA) was commenced with respect to Lehman Brothers Inc., a broker-dealer. A trustee appointed under SIPA is administering the bankruptcy estate of Lehman Brothers Inc. Lehman Brothers International (Europe) was placed in administration under the UK Insolvency Act on September 15, 2008. Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on October 3, 2008. In connection with these filings, the Lehman Brothers group of companies (collectively Lehman Brothers) will be reorganized and/or liquidated in an orderly fashion, subject to court approval. Each Lehman Brothers entity is a separate legal entity that is subject to its own bankruptcy proceeding.
The Fund had select holdings, credit default swap agreements, foreign currency transactions, securities and derivatives transactions outstanding with Lehman Brothers entities as issuer, referenced entity, counterparty or guarantor at the time the relevant Lehman Brothers entity filed for protection or was placed in administration. The security holdings, credit default swap agreements, foreign currency transactions, securities and derivatives transactions associated with Lehman Brothers as counterparty have been written down to their estimated recoverable values. Anticipated losses for securities and derivatives transactions associated with Lehman Brothers have been incorporated as receivable from broker and payable to broker on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and net realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A facilitated auction occurred on October 10, 2008 comprising multiple pre-approved brokerage agencies to determine the estimated recovery rate for holdings and credit default swap agreements with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. as the referenced entity. These recovery rates have been utilized in determining estimated recovery values for certain holdings. Financial assets and liabilities may be offset and the net amount may be reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities of the Fund where there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the provisions of offsetting of amounts related to certain contracts have been met.
The Sub-Adviser has delivered notices of default and in some cases, claim notices, to certain entities of Lehman Brothers in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreements. For transactions with Lehman Brothers counterparties, the Sub-Adviser has terminated the trades and has obtained quotations from brokers for replacement trades.
4. Financial Derivative Instruments
Disclosure about derivative instruments and hedging activities require qualitative disclosure regarding objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosure about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosure about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements distinguish between derivatives which are accounted for as hedges and those that do not qualify for such accounting. Although the Fund may sometimes use derivatives for hedging purposes, the Fund reflects derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the Funds Statement of Operations, and such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The derivative instruments outstanding as of September 30, 2009, as disclosed in the Notes to Financial Statements and the amounts of realized gain (loss) and changes in appreciation/depreciation on derivative instruments during the period as disclosed in the Funds Statement of Operations serve as indicators of the Funds volume of derivative activity.

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

4. Financial Derivative Instruments (continued)
(d) Swap Agreements (continued)
Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments made or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Funds Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Funds Statement of Operations.
Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, legal, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks include the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparties to the agreements may default on their obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Credit Default Swap Agreements Credit default swap agreements involve one party (referred to as the buyer of protection) making a stream of payments to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for the referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, a Fund will generally receive from the buyer of protection a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, a Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If a Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.
Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.
Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protections right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Fund may use credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuers default.
Credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit events. Unlike credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, deliverable obligations in most instances

would be limited to the specific referenced obligation as performance for asset-backed securities can vary across deals. Prepayments, principal paydowns, and other writedown or loss events on the underlying mortgage loans will reduce the outstanding principal balance of the referenced obligation. These reductions may be temporary or permanent as defined under the terms of the swap agreement and the notional amount for the swap agreement will be adjusted by corresponding amounts. The Fund may use credit default swaps on asset-backed securities to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the referenced obligation or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular referenced obligations default.
Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a list of a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of reference credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset backed securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that names weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. The Fund may use credit default swaps on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds with a credit default swap on indices which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swap to achieve a similar effect. Credit-default swaps on indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of period end are disclosed later in the Notes (see 6(c)) and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entitys credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of September 30, 2009 for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed later in the Notes (see 6(c)). These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Fund with a counterparty of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments, with respect to the notional amount of principal. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or cap, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or floor, (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels, (iv) callable interest rate swaps, under which the counterparty may terminate the swap transaction in whole at zero cost by a predetermined date and time prior to the maturity date, (v) spreadlocks, which allow the interest rate swap users to lock in the forward differential (or spread) between the interest rate swap rate and a specified benchmark, or (vi) basis swap, under which two parties can exchange variable interest rates based on different money markets.

|
|
(2) |

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements as of year end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entitys credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |
|
|
(4) |
The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |
|
|
(5) |
The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the status at September 30, 2009 of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entitys credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |

8. Legal Proceedings
In June and September 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates (including PEA Capital LLC (PEA), Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC and Allianz Global), 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 Fund.
Since February 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of their affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in a number of pending lawsuits concerning market timing which allege the same or similar conduct underlying the regulatory settlements discussed above. The market timing lawsuits have been consolidated in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. Any potential resolution of these matters may include, but not be limited to judgments or settlements for damages against the Investment Manager, Sub-Adviser, or its affiliates or related injunctions.
In addition, the Sub-Adviser is the subject of a lawsuit in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division in which the complaint alleges that plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when the Sub-Adviser held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. In July 2007, the court granted class certification of a class consisting of those persons who purchased futures contracts to offset short positions between May 9, 2005 and June 30, 2005. The Sub-Adviser currently believes that the complaint is without merit and the Sub-Adviser intends to vigorously defend against this action.
The Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory activities relating to the Fund.

Diana L. Taylor resigned as a Trustee of the Fund on September 10, 2009.

Matters
Relating to the Trustees |
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the Trustees) and a majority of the non-interested Trustees (the Independent Trustees), voting separately, approve the Funds Management Agreement with the Investment Manager (the Advisory Agreement) and Portfolio Management Agreement (the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and together with the Advisory Agreement, the Agreements) between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees met in person on June 16-17, 2009 (the contract review meeting) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from Fund management during the contract review meeting.
Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the continuation of the Funds Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement should be approved for a one-year period commencing July 1, 2009.
In connection with their deliberations regarding the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services performed by the Investment Manager or the Sub-Adviser under the applicable Agreements.
In connection with their contract review meeting, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Lipper Inc. (Lipper) on the total return investment performance (based on net assets) of the Fund for various time periods, the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives as the Fund identified by Lipper and the performance of applicable benchmark indices, (ii) information provided by Lipper on the Funds management fees and other expenses and the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Lipper, (iii) the profitability to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund for the one year period ended March 31, 2009, (iv) descriptions of various functions performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser for the Fund, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (v) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Fund.
The Trustees conclusions as to the continuation of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.
As part of their review, the Trustees examined the Investment Managers and the Sub-Advisers abilities to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Fund. The Trustees considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of the Sub-Adviser; the experience of key advisory personnel of the Sub-Adviser responsible for portfolio management of the Fund; the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser; and the level of skill required to manage the Fund. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment Managers and the Sub-Advisers services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Fund; the nature and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager is responsible for providing to the Fund; and conditions that might affect the Investment Managers or the Sub-Advisers ability to provide high quality services to the Fund in the future under the Agreements, including each organizations respective business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Sub-Advisers investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Fund given its investment objective and policies, and that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser would be able to continue to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.
Based on information provided by Lipper, the Trustees also reviewed the Funds total return investment performance as well as the performance of comparable funds identified by Lipper. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees took into account information provided by the Investment Manager in connection with the contract review meeting, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year regarding the Funds performance.

Matters Relating to
the Trustees |
In assessing the reasonableness of the Funds fees under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, the Funds management fee and the total expense ratio as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common shares and the management fee and total expense ratios of comparable funds identified by Lipper.
The Trustees specifically took note of how the Fund compared to its Lipper peers as to performance, management fee expense and total expenses. The Trustees noted that the Investment Manager had provided a memorandum containing comparative information on the performance and expenses information of the Fund compared to its Lipper peer categories. The Trustees noted that while the Fund is not charged a separate administration fee, it was not clear whether the peer funds in the Lipper categories were charged such a fee by their investment managers.
The Trustees noted that the expense group for the Fund is small consisting of six funds. The Trustees also noted that the actual management fees and total actual expenses were both worse than the median and that the Fund had bottom quintile performance for the one-year and three-year periods ended March 31, 2009. However, the Trustees noted that more recently, the Funds performance moved into the first and second quintiles for the 3-months and year-to-date as of May 31, 2009, respectively. At the request of the Trustees, the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser agreed to provide performance information related to the Fund on a monthly basis.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that they were satisfied with the Investment Managers and the Sub-Advisers responses and efforts to continue to improve the Funds investment performance. The Trustees agreed to reassess the services provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser under the Agreements in light of the Funds ongoing performance at each quarterly Board meeting.
Because the Sub-Adviser does not manage any funds or institutional separate accounts with investment strategies similar to the Fund, the Trustees did not consider the management fees charged by the Sub-Adviser to other clients.
Based on a profitability analysis provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund and determined that such profitability was not excessive.
The Trustees also took into account that, as a closed-end investment company, the Fund does not currently intend to raise additional assets, so the assets of the Fund will grow (if at all) only through the investment performance of the Fund. Therefore, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable under the Agreements.
Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called fall-out benefits to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, such as reputational value derived from serving as Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Fund.
After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees concluded with respect to the Fund, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the fees payable under the Agreements represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser.
