Letter from the President

 

Thomas J. Fuccillo

President & CEO

 

Dear Shareholder:

The US economy continued to expand during the reporting period. However, despite highly accommodative monetary policies set by central banks around the world, growth in many developed countries was relatively tepid. Against this backdrop, global equities produced weak results, while the global bond market posted a modest gain.

For the periods ended February 29, 2016

n

AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund returned -25.92% on net asset value (“NAV”) and -38.23% on market price.

 

n

AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II returned -26.21% on NAV and -40.34% on market price.

In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index, an unmanaged index generally representative of the US stock market, declined 6.19% and the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, an unmanaged index generally representative of the high yield bond market, fell 8.54% during the 12-month reporting period. Convertible securities, which share characteristics of both stocks and bonds, generated even weaker results. The BofA Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Index, an unmanaged index generally representative of the convertible securities market, returned -11.70% for the period.

Turning to the US economy, gross domestic product (“GDP”), the value of goods and services produced in the country, the broadest measure of economic activity and the principal indicator of economic performance, grew at an annual pace of 0.6% during the first quarter of 2015. US economic activity then improved, as the US Department of Commerce (“Commerce Department”) reported that GDP expanded at a 3.9% annual pace during the second quarter of 2015. However, economic growth then moderated, as GDP grew at an annual pace of 2.0% during the third quarter of 2015. US economic activity decelerated further, as the Commerce Department’s final reading, released after the reporting period had ended, showed that GDP grew at an annual pace of 1.4% for the fourth quarter of 2015.

After a prolonged period of accommodative monetary policy, the US Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raised interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade at its meeting in December 2015. The U.S. central bank boosted the federal funds rate from a range between 0% and 0.25% to a range between 0.25% and 0.50%. In its official statement following its meeting in December the Fed said, “the stance of monetary policy remains accommodative after this increase, thereby supporting further improvement in labor market conditions and a return to 2 percent inflation. The [Federal Open Market] Committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the federal funds rate; the federal funds rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run.” The Fed then chose to keep rates on hold at its meetings in January and March 2016.

 

2		Annual Report		|  February 29, 2016

---

estimates for global GDP growth were steadily revised lower. Our expectations for 2016 remain cautious, given the ongoing environment of financial repression. The US delivered mixed results in 2015 and we foresee a similar outcome in 2016, with the economy expanding 2%-2.5%.

We continue to advocate holding on to risk assets relative to bonds over the long run. However, there are several headwinds at this juncture, including the prospect of continued Fed interest rate hikes, above average valuations in some asset classes that are above historical averages, low earnings growth, liquidity and political risks. Against this backdrop, we believe the market is in a low return environment. We will remain flexible and active to put our shareholders in a position to benefit from volatility at an asset-class level. As always, our investment teams will also use in-depth research and focus on quality and sustainability, to help them navigate the markets.

For specific information on the Funds and their performance, please refer to 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, us.allianzgi.com/closedendfunds.

Together with Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC, the Funds’ investment manager, and Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC, the Funds’ sub-adviser, we thank you for investing with us.

We remain dedicated to serving your investment needs.

Sincerely,

 

Thomas J. Fuccillo

President & Chief Executive Officer

* Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Funds and not the Funds themselves and are divided into categories ranging from highest to lowest credit quality, determined for purposes of presentations in this report by using ratings provided by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”). Presentation of credit ratings information in this report use ratings provided by Moody’s for this purpose, among other reasons, because of the access to background information and other materials provided by Moody’s, as well as the Funds’ consideration of industry practice. Bonds not rated by Moody’s or bonds that do not have a rating available from Moody’s are designated as “NR” and “NA”, respectively. Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subjective opinions, not statements of fact, and are subject to change periodically, even as frequently as daily. Ratings assigned by Moody’s or another rating agency are not absolute standards of credit quality and generally do not evaluate market risk. Rating agencies may fail to make timely changes in credit ratings, and an issuer’s current financial condition may be better or worse than a rating indicates. In formulating investment decisions for the Funds, Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC, the sub-adviser to the Funds, develops its own analysis of the credit quality and risks associated with individual debt instruments, rather than relying exclusively on rating agencies or third-party research.

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

Performance at market price will differ from results at NAV. Although market price returns tend to reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as changing views about the Funds, market conditions, supply and demand for each Fund’s shares, or changes in each Fund’s dividends.

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

(2) The NAV disclosed in the Funds’ financial statements may differ due to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(3) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly dividend per common share (comprised of net investment income) by the market price per common share at February 29, 2016.

(4) Represents Preferred Shares (“Leverage”) outstanding, as a percentage of total managed assets. Total managed assets refer to total assets (including assets attributable to Leverage) minus liabilities (other than liabilities representing Leverage).

Notes to Financial Statements

AllianzGI Convertible & Income Funds

February 29, 2016

 

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

 

AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund (“Convertible & Income”) and AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II (“Convertible & Income II”) (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on January 17, 2003 and April 22, 2003, respectively. The Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. Prior to commencing operations on March 31, 2003, and July 31, 2003, respectively, the Funds had no operations other than matters relating to their organization and registration as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”) and Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of the Investment Manager, serve as the Funds’ investment manager and sub-adviser, respectively, and are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P. (“AAM”). AAM is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. Each Fund has authorized an unlimited amount of common shares with $0.00001 par value.

Each Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of capital appreciation and high current income. The Funds attempt to achieve this objective by investing in a portfolio of convertible securities and non-convertible income-producing securities. There can be no assurance that the Funds will meet their stated objectives.

The preparation of the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires the Funds’ management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in each Fund’s financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:

(a) Valuation of Investments

Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official closing prices, last reported sales prices, or if no sales or closing prices are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services. The Funds’ investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or broker/dealer quotations, or by using the last sale or settlement price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last bid and ask quotations. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted procedures for valuing portfolio securities and other financial instruments in circumstances where market quotations are not readily available (including in cases where available market quotations are deemed to be unreliable), and has delegated primary responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser. The Funds’ Valuation Committee was established by the Board to oversee the implementation of the Funds’ valuation methods and to make fair value determinations on behalf of the Board, as instructed by the Board. The Sub-Adviser monitors the continued appropriateness of methods applied and identifies to the Investment Manger circumstances and events that may require fair valuation. The Investment Manager, in turn, determines if adjustments should be made in light of market changes, events affecting the issuer, or other factors. If the Investment Manager (in consultation with the Sub-Adviser) determines that a valuation method may no longer be appropriate, another valuation method may be selected or the Valuation Committee will be convened to consider the matter and take any appropriate action in accordance with procedures set forth by the Board. The Board shall review and ratify the appropriateness of the valuation methods and these methods may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Valuation Committee.

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 debt instruments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing premiums or discounts based on their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days.

The prices used by the Funds to value investments may differ from the value that would be realized if the investments were sold, and these differences could be material to the Funds’ financial statements. Each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is normally determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on each day the NYSE is open for business.

(b) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

n

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Funds have the ability to access

n

Level 2 – valuations based on other significant observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates or other market corroborated inputs

n

Level 3 – valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Sub-Adviser’s or Valuation Committee’s own assumptions and securities whose price was determined by using a single broker’s quote)

The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the year ended February 29, 2016 were intended to maximize

the use of observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation techniques used. Assets categorized as Level 1 or 2 as of period end may have been transferred between Levels 1 and 2 since the prior period due to changes in the valuation method utilized in valuing the investments.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following are certain inputs and techniques that the Funds generally use to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities for Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

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

Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

Convertible Bonds & Notes – Convertible bonds & notes are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of convertible bonds & notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

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

and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of corporate bonds & notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

Senior Loans – Senior Loans generally are valued by independent pricing services based on the average of quoted prices received from multiple dealers or valued relative to other benchmark securities when broker-dealer quotes are unavailable. These quoted prices are based on interest rates, yield curves, option adjusted spreads, credit spreads and/or other criteria. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of Senior Loans are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premiums is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized, respectively, to interest income. Conversion premium is not amortized. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Payments received on synthetic convertible securities are generally included in dividends. Consent fees relating to corporate actions and facility fees and other fees received after settlement date relating to senior loans and commitment fees received relating to unfunded purchase commitments are recorded as miscellaneous income upon receipt. Payments received from certain investments may be comprised of

dividends, realized gains and return of capital. These payments may initially be recorded as dividend income and may subsequently be reclassified as realized gains and/or return of capital upon receipt of information from the issuer. Payments considered return of capital reduce the cost basis of the respective security. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

(d) Federal Income Taxes

The Funds intend to distribute all of their taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required. The Funds may be subject to excise tax based on distributions to shareholders.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. In accordance with provisions set forth under U.S. GAAP, the Investment Manager has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years. As of February 29, 2016, the Funds have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

(e) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Common Shares

The Funds declare dividends from net investment income to common shareholders monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. The Funds record dividends and distributions on the

ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains or return of capital is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book-tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as dividends and/or distributions to shareholders from return of capital.

(f) Convertible Securities

It is the Funds’ policy to invest a portion of their assets in convertible securities. Although convertible securities derive part of their value from that of the securities into which they are convertible, they are not considered derivative financial instruments. However, certain of the Funds’ investments in convertible securities include features which render them 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 typically still less than that of the underlying stock.

(g) Senior Loans

The Funds may purchase assignments of, and participations in, Senior Loans originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign commercial bank, insurance company, finance company or other financial institution for a lending syndicate of financial institutions (the “Lender”). When purchasing an assignment, the Funds succeed to all the rights and obligations under the loan agreement with the same rights and obligations as the assigning Lender. Assignments may, however, be arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, and the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning Lender. The Funds may also enter into lending arrangements involving unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments may include revolving credit facilities, which may obligate the Funds to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the principal amounts will never be utilized by the borrower.

The Funds may purchase the securities of distressed companies, including companies engaged in restructurings or bankruptcy proceedings. Investments in distressed companies may include senior obligations of an issuer issued in connection with a restructuring under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (commonly known as “debtor-in-possession” or “DIP” financings). Debtor-in-possession financings generally allow the issuer to continue its operations while reorganizing. Such financings constitute senior liens on unencumbered collateral (i.e., collateral not subject to other creditors’ claims). There is risk that the issuer under a debtor-in-possession financing will not emerge from Chapter 11 and

be forced to liquidate its assets under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In the event of liquidation, the Funds’ only recourse would be against the collateral securing the debtor-in-possession financing.

(h) Payment In-Kind Securities

The Funds may invest in payment in-kind securities, which are debt or preferred stock securities that require or permit payment of interest in the form of additional securities. Payment in-kind securities allow the issuer to avoid or delay the need to generate cash to meet current interest payments and, as a result, may involve greater risk than securities that pay interest currently or in cash.

(i) Statement of Cash Flows

U.S. GAAP requires entities providing financial statements that report both financial position and results of operations to also provide a statement of cash flows for each period for which results of operations are provided, but exempts investment companies meeting certain conditions. One of the conditions is that substantially all of the enterprise’s investments were carried at fair value during the period and classified as Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy in accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP. Another condition is that the enterprise had little or no debt, based on the average debt outstanding during the period, in relation to average total assets. Each Fund’s Level 3 investments have been determined to be at a level requiring a statement of cash flows. The Statements of Cash Flows have been prepared using the indirect method which requires net change in net assets resulting from operations to be adjusted to reconcile to net cash flows from operating activities.

2. Principal Risks

In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into

financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to, among other things, changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (counterparty risk). The Funds also are exposed to other risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and leverage risks.

Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities’ valuations will change because of changes in interest rates. During periods of rising nominal interest rates, the values of fixed income instruments are generally expected to decline. Conversely, during periods of declining nominal interest rates, the values of fixed income instruments are generally expected to rise. To the extent that a Fund effectively has short positions with respect to fixed income instruments, the values of such short positions would generally be expected to rise when nominal interest rates rise and to decline when nominal interest rates decline. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. The values of equity and other non-fixed income securities may also decline due to fluctuations in interest rates.

The Funds are exposed to credit risk, which is the risk of losing money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings.

The market values of securities may decline due to general market conditions (market risk) which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse

Notes to Financial Statements

AllianzGI Convertible & Income Funds

February 29, 2016

 

2. Principal Risks (continued)

 

economic conditions, adverse changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, adverse changes to credit markets or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity-related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities, although under certain market conditions fixed income securities may have comparable or greater price volatility. Credit ratings downgrades may also negatively affect securities held by a Fund. Even when markets perform well, there is no assurance that the investments held by a Fund will increase in value along with the broader market. In addition, market risk includes the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the economy on a national or global level.

The Funds are exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss to the Funds could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the Funds’ financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Sub-Adviser seeks to minimize the Funds’ counterparty risk by performing reviews of each counterparty and by minimizing concentration of counterparty risk by undertaking transactions with multiple customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges. Delivery of securities sold is only made once the Funds have received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.

The Funds are exposed to risks associated with leverage. Leverage may cause the value of the Funds’ shares to be more volatile than if the Funds did not use leverage. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Funds’ portfolio securities. The Funds may engage in transactions or purchase instruments that give rise to forms of leverage. In addition, to the extent the Funds employ leverage, dividends and interest costs may not be recovered by any appreciation of the securities purchased with the leverage proceeds and could exceed the Funds’ investment returns, resulting in greater losses. As discussed further in Note 6, each Fund has auction-rate preferred shares outstanding.

The Funds may hold defaulted securities that may involve special considerations including bankruptcy proceedings, other regulatory and legal restrictions affecting the Funds’ ability to trade, and the availability of prices from independent pricing services or dealer quotations. Defaulted securities may also be illiquid and may not be actively traded. Sale of securities in bankrupt companies at an acceptable price may be difficult and differences compared to the value of the securities used by the Funds could be material. A Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek recovery upon a portfolio security’s default in the payment of principal or interest. In any bankruptcy proceeding relating to a defaulted investment, a Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash or securities with a value substantially less than its original investment.

(3)

Carryforward amounts are subject to the provisions of the Regulated Investment Modernization Company Act of 2010.

For the year ended February 29, 2016, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards which expired and were written-off as follows:

 

		Written-off
Convertible & Income			$378,716
Convertible & Income II			3,633,098

For the year ended February 29, 2016, permanent “book tax” adjustments were:

6. Auction-Rate Preferred Shares (continued)

 

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 certain matters adversely 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 a lack of liquidity, which has similarly affected ARPS holders in many of the nation’s closed-end funds. Since then, regularly scheduled auctions for ARPS issued by the 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 a minimum of 150%, depending on the credit rating of the ARPS. The maximum rate is a function of short-term interest rates and typically higher than the rate that would have otherwise been set through a successful auction.

On May 29, 2014, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded each Fund’s ARPS ratings to Aa3 from A1. As a result, the applicable multiplier for calculating the maximum rate decreased from 200% to 150% beginning on that date. 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.

7. Common Shares Offering

On December 4, 2012, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective a registration statement filed using the “shelf” registration process for each Fund. Pursuant to their shelf registrations, Convertible & Income and Convertible & Income II offered, from time to time, in one or more offerings, up to 10,700,000 and 9,600,000 common shares, respectively. The aggregate sale proceeds for the sales of Convertible & Income’s and Convertible & Income II’s common shares were subject to aggregate caps of $135,000,000 and $100,000,000, respectively. The Funds could not sell any of their common shares at a price below the net asset values of such common shares at the time of each sale, exclusive of any distribution commission or discount. However, each Fund was able to instruct its sales agent not to sell its common shares if the sales could not be effected at or above a price designated by the Fund, which could be inclusive of any distribution commission or discount. Any proceeds from the Funds’ offerings of their common shares were invested in accordance with the Funds’ investment objectives and policies as set forth in their effective registration statements. The Funds are no longer offering shares under their “shelf” registrations.

During the year ended February 28, 2015, Convertible & Income sold 1,678,728 common shares. Proceeds from the offerings by Convertible & Income during the year ended February 28, 2015, (net of commissions and fees) totaled $16,959,259 and offering costs in connection with the sales of shares were $16,983. Convertible & Income II did not sell any common share during the year ended February 28, 2015.

8. Payment from Affiliates

There were no payments from affiliates for the year ended February 29, 2016.

10. Subsequent Events

In preparing these financial statements, the Funds’ management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

On March 1, 2016 the following monthly dividends were declared to common shareholders, payable April 1, 2016 to common shareholders of record on March 11, 2016:

 

Convertible & Income		$0.065 per common share
Convertible & Income II		$0.0575 per common share

Effective March 22, 2016, Convertible & Income II adopted an amendment to its Seventh Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) that incorporated revised and updated ratings criteria (the “New Fitch Criteria”) issued by Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) applicable to that Fund’s outstanding auction rate preferred shares (“Preferred Shares”). The New Fitch Criteria updates to preexisting ratings criteria used by Fitch to include certain changes to Fitch’s overcollateralization testing methodology and to reflect previously published sector and sub-sector criteria reports. The Sub-Adviser does not currently believe that the New Fitch Criteria will have a material impact on the Fund’s ability to maintain the asset coverage required by Fitch or on the Sub-Adviser’s management of the Fund.

On April 1, 2016 the following monthly dividends were declared to common shareholders, payable May 2, 2016 to common shareholders of record on April 11, 2016:

 

Convertible & Income		$0.065 per common share
Convertible & Income II		$0.0575 per common share

There were no other subsequent events identified that require recognition or disclosure.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

AllianzGI Convertible & Income Funds

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of

AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund

AllianzGI 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, of changes in net assets, and of cash flows and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund and AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II (the “Funds”) at February 29, 2016, the results of each of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a 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 29, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Tax Information (unaudited)

AllianzGI Convertible & Income Funds

 

As required by the Internal Revenue Code, shareholders must be notified regarding certain tax attributes of distributions made by each Fund.

Under the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, the following percentages of ordinary dividends paid during the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016, are designated as “qualified dividend income” (or the maximum amount allowable):

 

Convertible & Income		32.40%
Convertible & Income II		31.04%

Corporate shareholders are generally entitled to take the dividend received deduction on the portion of a Fund’s dividend distribution that qualifies under the tax law. The percentage of the following Funds’ ordinary income dividends paid during the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016, that qualify for the corporate deduction is set below (or the maximum amount allowable):

 

Convertible & Income		31.64%
Convertible & Income II		30.31%

Since the Funds’ tax year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent with respect to calendar year 2016. In January 2017, shareholders will be advised on IRS Form 1099 DIV as to the federal tax status of dividends and distributions received during calendar 2016. The amount that will be reported will be the amount to use on the shareholders’ 2016 federal income tax return and may differ from the amount which must be reported in connection with the Funds’ tax year ended February 29, 2016. 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.

1. Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Registrant’s Audit Committee has established policies and procedures for pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services by the Auditor for the Registrant, as well as the Auditor’s engagements related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. The Registrant’s policy is stated below.

AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II (The “Fund”)

AUDIT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE POLICY FOR PRE-APPROVAL OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Fund’s 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 firm’s 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 accountant’s independence. The Committee’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Committee’s 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 firm’s engagement will not adversely affect the firm’s 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:

Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

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 firm’s 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 Fund’s 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.

h)

Auditor Independence. The Registrant’s 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 Auditor’s independence.

Appendix B

Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AllianzGI US”)

Description of Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures

AllianzGI US typically votes proxies as part of its discretionary authority to manage accounts, unless the client has explicitly reserved the authority for itself. To ensure that the proxies are voted in the best interests of its clients, AllianzGI US has adopted proxy voting procedures and guidelines for voting proxies on specific types of issues. When voting proxies, AllianzGI US 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. AllianzGI US will not be responsible for voting of proxies that AllianzGI US has not been notified of on a timely basis by the client’s custodian.

AllianzGI US 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 AllianzGI US’s general voting positions on specific corporate governance issues and corporate actions. AllianzGI US 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. The services provided offer a variety of proxy-related services to assist in AllianzGI US’s handling of proxy voting responsibilities.

In certain circumstances, a client may request in writing that AllianzGI US vote proxies for its account in accordance with a set of guidelines which differs from the Proxy Guidelines. For example, a client may wish to have proxies voted for its account in accordance with the Taft- Hartley proxy voting guidelines. In that case, AllianzGI US 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.

AllianzGI US will generally refrain from voting proxies on non-U.S. 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 AllianzGI US 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), AllianzGI US 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 Guidelines summarize AllianzGI US’s position on various issues, including issues of corporate governance and corporate actions, and give general indication as to how AllianzGI US will vote shares on such issues. Occasionally, there may be instances when AllianzGI US may not vote proxies in strict adherence to the Proxy Guidelines. To the extent that the Proxy Guidelines do not cover potential voting issues or a case arises of a potential material conflict between AllianzGI US’s interest and those of a client with respect to proxy voting, the Proxy Committee will convene to discuss the issues. In evaluating issues, the Proxy Committee may consider information from many sources, including the portfolio management team, the analyst responsible for monitoring the stock of the company at issue, management of a company presenting a proposal, shareholder groups and independent proxy research services. In situations in which the Proxy Guidelines do not give clear guidance on an issue, an analyst or portfolio manager and/or the Proxy Committee will review the issue. In the event that either the analyst or portfolio manager wishes to override the Proxy Guidelines, the proposal will be presented to the Proxy Committee for a final decision. Any deviations from the Proxy Guidelines will be documented and maintained in accordance with Rule 204-2 under the Advisers Act.

In accordance with the Proxy Guidelines, AllianzGI US 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 client’s written request, AllianzGI US may also vote proxies for that client’s account in a particular manner that may differ from the Proxy Guidelines. In addition, AllianzGI US 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 AllianzGI US, 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. For example, AllianzGI US may refrain from voting a proxy of a non-U.S. issuer due to logistical considerations that may impair AllianzGI US’s ability to vote the proxy. These issues may include, but are not limited to: (i) proxy statements and ballots being written in a language other than English, (ii) untimely notice of a shareholder meeting, (iii) requirements to

---

vote proxies in person, (iv) restrictions on non-U.S. person’s 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.

AllianzGI US may vote in accordance with the proxy guidelines of its affiliate advisers when voting in connection with Wrap Programs. The affiliated adviser’s guidelines may differ and in fact be in conflict with AllianzGI US’s voting guidelines.

If a client has decided to participate in a securities lending program, AllianzGI US will defer to the client’s 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, AllianzGI US will use reasonable efforts to notify the client of proxy measures that AllianzGI US deems material.

The ability to timely identify material events and recommend recall of shares for proxy voting purposes is not within the control of AllianzGI US and requires the cooperation of the client and its other service providers. Efforts to recall loaned securities are not always effective and there can be no guarantee that any such securities can be retrieved in a timely manner for purposes of voting the securities.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

AllianzGI US does not make any of its own investments. Like other investment professionals with multiple clients, the portfolio managers for the AllianzGI US Sub-advised Funds may face certain potential conflicts of interest in connection with managing both the Funds and other accounts at the same time. These potential conflicts are described below and AllianzGI US believes such potential conflicts are faced by investment professionals at most major financial firms. AllianzGI US and the Trustees have adopted compliance policies and procedures that attempt to 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.

---

A potential conflict of interest may arise when a Fund and other accounts purchase or sell the same securities. On occasions when the portfolio managers consider the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of the Fund as well as other accounts, AllianzGI US’s trading desk may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased in order to obtain the best execution and lower brokerage commissions, if any. Aggregation of trades may create the potential for unfairness to the Fund or another account if one account is favored over another in allocating the securities purchased or sold for example, by allocating a disproportionate amount of a security that is likely to increase in value to a favored account.

AllianzGI charges competitive rates for managing client assets. Fees vary depending on the particular types of portfolios managed, clients, and respective size of the client’s portfolios under management. In this regard, providing services to some types of portfolios and clients require additional resources, and AllianzGI US’s management fee structure is designed, in part, to address these differences. AllianzGI US utilizes the revenue received from the fees paid by their clients to support the investment, research, operations, and business requirements needed to provide their clients with the overall results that they expect.

“Cross trades,” in which one AllianzGI US account sells a particular security to another account (potentially saving transaction costs for both accounts), may also pose a potential conflict of interest. Cross trades may be seen to involve a potential conflict of interest if, for example, one account is permitted to sell a security to another account at a higher price than an independent third party would pay. AllianzGI US and the Board of Trustees have adopted compliance procedures that provide that any transactions between a Fund and another AllianzGI US account must be in the best interests of both the buying and selling account, and made at an independent current market price, as required by law.

Another potential conflict of interest may arise based on the different investment objectives and strategies of the Fund and other accounts. For example, another account may have a shorter-term investment horizon or different investment objectives, policies or restrictions than the Fund. Depending on another account’s 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 the Fund. In addition, investment decisions are the product of many factors to basic suitability for the particular account involved. Thus, a particular security may be bought or sold for certain accounts even though it could have been 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 Funds’ portfolio managers who are responsible for managing multiple funds and/or accounts may devote unequal time and attention to the management of those funds and/or accounts. As a result, the portfolio managers 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.

---

Although the payment of brokerage commissions is subject to the requirement that the portfolio managers 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 portfolio manager’s decision as to the selection of brokers and dealers could yield disproportionate costs and benefits among the Fund and/or accounts that he or she manages. The Funds’ portfolio managers may also face other potential conflicts of interest in managing the Funds, and the description above is not a complete description of every conflict that could be deemed to exist in managing both the Fund and other accounts. In addition, the portfolio managers may also manage other accounts (including their personal assets or the assets of family members) in their personal capacity. The management of these accounts may also involve certain of the potential conflicts described above. AllianzGI US’s investment personnel, including the Funds’ portfolio managers, are subject to restrictions on engaging in personal securities transactions pursuant to the Code of Ethics adopted by AllianzGI US and the Funds, which contain provisions and requirements designed to identify and address certain conflicts of interest between personal investment activities and the interests of the Funds. See section entitled “Code of Ethics.”

At the individual strategy level, AllianzGI US regularly monitors capacity and limits AUM by strategy as necessary so the firm can continue to maintain its value-added investment services. This review is based primarily on security-level liquidity and includes an examination of liquidity at an aggregate level for products within the same market capitalization range. This ensures that the firm accounts for any product overlap within a capitalization range.

AllianzGI US may close a product or decline a new business opportunity in an effort to maintain the strategy’s style consistency and performance results.

Any proprietary research or special reports produced by AllianzGI US’s investment professionals that are shared externally are made available to all of the firm’s clients.

AllianzGI US manages all client accounts and funds within the guidelines of their strategy. All clients who invest in the strategy are treated consistently with respect to buys and sells.

AllianzGI US does not provide guarantees or commitments to fund investors that could influence the Adviser’s investment decisions for a fund.

Pallas Investment Partners, L.P. (“Pallas”) and Related Entities. Pallas is an investment adviser registered with the SEC. Pallas is owned by Walter Price and Huachen Chen. Mr. Price and Mr. Chen are dually employed by Pallas and by AllianzGI US.

Pallas serves as investment manager to unregistered investment companies (the “Pallas Hedge Funds”) — Pallas Global Technology Hedge Fund, L.P., Pallas Investments II, L.P., and CP21, L.P., each a Delaware limited partnership. The general partner of Pallas Investments II, L.P. Pallas Global Technology Hedge Fund, L.P. and CP21, L.P. is Pallas Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “General Partner”). Mr. Price and Mr. Chen own a majority of the interests in the General Partner.

Each of the Pallas Hedge Funds pays a management fee and an incentive fee (based on a percentage of profits) to either Pallas or the General Partner. The management fee is 1.25% for Pallas Investments II, L.P. and 1.5 % for Pallas Global Technology Hedge Fund, L.P. and CP21 L.P.

---

Mr. Price and Mr. Chen act as portfolio managers for certain AllianzGI US client accounts including, among others, the AllianzGI Technology Fund.

AllianzGI US and Pallas share common employees, facilities, and systems. Pallas may act as investment adviser to one or more of AllianzGI US’s affiliates, and may serve as sub-adviser for accounts or clients for which AllianzGI US or one of its affiliates serves as investment manager or investment adviser. AllianzGI US also may provide other services, including but not limited to investment advisory services or administrative services, to Pallas.

AllianzGI US, Pallas, and the Allianz Advisory Affiliates all engage in proprietary research and all acquire investment information and research services from broker-dealers. AllianzGI US and the Allianz Advisory Affiliates share such research and investment information.

In addition, trades entered into by Pallas on behalf of Pallas’ clients are executed through AllianzGI US’s equity trading desk, and trades by Pallas on behalf of Pallas’ clients (including the Pallas Hedge Funds) are aggregated with trades by AllianzGI US on behalf of AllianzGI US’s clients. All trades on behalf of Pallas’ clients that are executed through AllianzGI US’s equity trading desk will be executed pursuant to procedures designed to ensure that all clients of both AllianzGI US and Pallas (including the Pallas Hedge Funds) are treated fairly and equitably over time. (See response to Item 12 below.)

The General Partner and/or Pallas receive a participation in the profits of the Pallas Hedge Funds. Mr. Price and Mr. Chen also invested personally in one or more of the Pallas Hedge Funds. As a result, Mr. Price and Mr. Chen have a conflict of interest with respect to the management of the Pallas Hedge Funds and the other accounts that they manage, and they may have an incentive to favor the Pallas Hedge Funds over other accounts that they manage. AllianzGI US has adopted procedures reasonably designed to ensure that Mr. Price and Mr. Chen meet their fiduciary obligations to all clients for whom they act as portfolio managers and treats all such clients fairly and equitably over time.

As of May 3, 2016, the following explains the compensation structure of each individual who shares primary responsibility for day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund:

The compensation system is designed to support the organization’s corporate values and culture. While acknowledging the importance of financial incentives and seeking to pay top quartile compensation for top quartile performance, AllianzGI US also believes that compensation is only one of a number of critically important elements that allow the emergence of a strong, winning culture that attracts, retains and motivates talented investors and teams. AllianzGI US’ compensation system supports its belief that investment professionals are a key element of the company’s success in meeting clients’ objectives. The primary components of compensation are the base salary, which typically

reflects the scope, responsibilities and experience required in a particular role, and an annual discretionary variable compensation payment. The variable compensation typically includes both an annual cash award that pays out immediately at the end of the performance year and a deferred component for all members of staff whose variable compensation exceeds a certain threshold. The deferred component consists of a Long-Term Incentive Program Award (“LTIPA”) but, for those members of staff whose variable compensation exceeds a certain threshold, the deferred component is split 50%/50% between the LTIPA and a Deferral into Funds program (“DIF”), which enables employees to invest in Allianz Global Investors’ investment strategies. Deferral rates increase in line with the amount of variable compensation and can reach up to 50%. Awards, splits, components and deferral percentages are regularly reviewed to ensure they meet industry best practice and, where applicable, comply with regulatory standards. Discretionary variable compensation is primarily designed to reflect the achievements of an individual against set goals over a certain time period. For an investment professional, these goals typically will be 70% quantitative and 30% qualitative. The quantitative element will reflect investment performance over a three-year rolling time period (calculated as one-year plus three-year results at 25% and 75% weightings respectively). For portfolio managers, the performance metric is aligned with the benchmarks of the client portfolios they manage or, if there is no reference benchmark, with the client’s stated investment outcome objective. The qualitative element reflects contributions to broader team goals, such as idea sharing, contributions made to client review meetings, product development or product refinement initiatives, and the way behaviors reflect our core values of excellence, passion, integrity and respect. The LTIPA element of the variable compensation, if applicable, cliff vests three years after each (typically annual) award. Its value is directly linked to the operating profit of Allianz Global Investors. The DIF element of the variable compensation cliff vests three years after each (typically annual) award and enables qualifying members of staff to invest in a range of Allianz Global Investors’ funds. Investment professionals are encouraged to invest into their own funds or funds of a similar nature to those that they manage. The value of the DIF award is determined by the performance of the fund over the three-year period covering each award.

 

•

For most investment professionals, and in particular portfolio managers, the quantitative element is aligned with the benchmarks of the client portfolios they manage or, if there is no reference benchmark, with the client’s stated investment outcome objective. For research analysts, the quantitative element is a combination of relative peer group performance and sector model portfolios. For traders, the quantitative element uses a benchmarked trading metric that measures performance relative to an external peer group.

 

•

The qualitative element includes topics such as idea sharing, global co-operation and behavior, which reflect our core values of excellence, passion, integrity and respect. For all investment professionals, a 360 degree feedback evaluation forms part of the qualitative input.

 

•

Asset growth affects investment professional compensation indirectly via our LTIPA and Allianz Global Investors’ overall ability to pay our staff competitively.

---

•

A few investment teams, such as those running liquid alternative strategies, have their compensation linked to revenue growth in addition to investment performance and the other factors described. In these instances, compensation is subject to the same principles, such as deferral into LTIPA and DIF into Funds, as our discretionary compensation structure.

In addition to competitive compensation, the firm’s approach to retention includes providing a challenging career path for each professional, a supportive culture to ensure each employee’s progress and a full benefits package.
