The
six-month period ended February 28, 2011 was characterized by strong gains
for stocks and convertible bonds, as the global economic recovery that began
in the summer of 2009 continued.
|
|
|
The economic recovery was evident in U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) data. Between June and September 2010, GDP expanded at an annualized rate of 2.6%. This accelerated slightly to 2.8% rate between October and December of 2010. In January and February 2011, as the six-month period came to an end, this strengthening trend continued.
Investors moved into, and then out of, U.S. Treasury bonds during the six-month period. Fueling this flight to safety was uncertainty about the strength and durability of the U.S. recovery, concerns about a sovereign debt crisis in certain European countries and an apparent cooling of Chinas economy. As a result, Treasury prices jumped, pushing yields on the benchmark 10-year bond down to 2.41% in October 2010. From that point, however, surging stock markets prompted investors to shift out of Treasuries. As the six-month period drew to a close, the yield on the 10-year bond climbed back to 3.42%.
The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) indicated that it would purchase up to $900 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds through June 2011. The goal of this quantitative easing is to keep stimulating the economy by lowering interest rates. The Fed maintained its target for the closely watched Federal Funds Rate, the interest rate banks charge to lend federal funds to other banks,

usually on an overnight basis, in the 0.0% to 0.25% range. The Fed also maintained the discount rate, the interest rate charged to banks for direct loans at 0.75%, throughout the six-month period.
Positioned To Face Todays Challenges
The global economic recovery that began two years ago
continues. We caution, however, about rising oil prices and interest rates,
both of which have moved higher and could act as headwinds to the recovery. In
addition, turmoil in the Middle East and the tragedy that has affected Japan,
the worlds third largest economy, could also impact the markets in various
ways over the coming weeks and months. In light of such events, it is a good
time to remember that markets have proven to be resilient over long periods of
time.

Performance Overview
For the six month period ended February 28, 2011, AGIC
Global Equity & Convertible Income Fund returned 26.83% on net asset value
and 26.87% on market price.
Market Environment
Although market sentiment varied throughout the six-month
period, the net result for the domestic equity and convertible markets was
solid. Additionally, non-U.S. markets performed well.
The factors driving performance did not change significantly from earlier in the year. Although several hiccups occurred throughout the period, including mixed economic statistical releases and European sovereign concerns, these risks rose then abated quickly. Ultimately, stronger corporate profitability and an improving economy had the greatest influence on investor sentiment. Improved balance sheets and operating performance of issuers were supplemented by the massive new corporate issuance volume that bolstered liquidity and reduced high-cost debt. Political risk abated after the November elections, and more accommodative decisions were made in Washington regarding taxes and further monetary policy easing (QE2). These factors also led to a healthy calendar year-end rally in the equity markets and a sell-off in the Treasury market.
Convertibles moved up in line with their historical equity upside participation in the period. Unlike 2009, where credit improvement was the bigger driver of returns, equity contributed more later in the period. U.S., European and Japanese index volatility started the period at higher levels. During the ensuing months, major global index volatility moved lower as equity markets moved higher.
Fund Commentary
Domestic equity positions in Technology, Industrials, and
Energy led much of the positive performance during the reporting period.
Semiconductor chip manufacturers with exposure to smart phones and tablets were
up on robust sales. Agricultural and mining equipment companies reported
better-than-expected revenues and higher bookings. Energy names benefited from
new build order flows that were much more robust than analysts estimates. The
weakest domestic equity performers were consumer staples companies. The market
rotated away from the group as inline sales were overshadowed by higher input
costs and potential pressure on future margins.
Convertible positions in the Consumer Discretionary, Industrials and Financial industries helped performance over the period. Select Consumer Discretionary issuers were higher as automobile sales exceeded expectations and production schedules were increased for the period. Industrial issuers performed well on improving operating statistics and solid end-market demand. Financial companies moved higher on an improving global economic outlook and improving credit metrics. Convertible positions in the Healthcare and Consumer Staples industries hurt relative performance over the period. Generic drug manufacturing companies underperformed as international end markets deteriorated, negatively impacting earnings. Consumers Staples issuers were down as investors rotated into higher beta companies.
Within the international sleeve, Financials were the largest source of contribution for the period, led by a combination of a relative underweight position alongside positive stock selection. Health Care shares also added to Fund results, due to strong bottom-up stockpicking and an underweight in the sector. Conversely, positions in Industrials detracted from performance, where a portfolio overweight in the sector could not offset negative relative stock selection. Telecommunication Services was also a source of underperformance as a result of a portfolio overweight and relative performance. From a country standpoint, the United Kingdom added significantly to results, led by a combination of a portfolio overweight alongside positive relative performance. Investments in Germany also helped Fund results, due to strong bottom-up selection. Hong Kong was the largest detractor during the period, led by negative stock selection and a portfolio overweight. Investments in France also offset performance, due to modest underperformance combined with a relative underweight position.
Outlook
Our outlook for the domestic equity and convertible markets
is positive. We believe the improvement in corporate earnings seen during
earnings season should continue. U.S. corporate cash levels are high, debt
levels have been reduced and maturities have been extended. In addition, consumers
are spending again and labor conditions have been improving.
In 2011, we expect companies to use the high cash levels on their balance sheets and future free cash flow to help boost shareholder value. Share buybacks, increased dividends and merger and acquisition activity are possible uses of excess cash. We believe these factors will benefit investors in the high yield, convertible and equity markets.

|
Even though global and economic risk headlines persist, driving a continuation of choppy directional short-term performance, few companies have seen a change in demand or order patterns. Fundamentals remain intact and this should provide a positive backdrop for the U.S. equity markets. We believe convertible bonds should benefit from credit spread tightening and higher equity prices, an attractive environment for total return investors.
While government policies and company fundamentals remain supportive of international equities as an asset class, changes in market leadership are already taking place. European Central Bank authorities have essentially put a floor on bank valuations through their policy actions. Chinese monetary authorities are seeking to temper inflation pressures. As such, the Funds portfolio is currently positioned to ride on these themes with an overweighting in Japan and increasing exposure to inexpensive stocks with significant business operations in Asia Ex-Japan, trimming the exposure there to expensive stocks levered to emerging market consumption, and finding pockets of value in European Financials. Heading into 2011, the Fund maintained a significant overweight relative to the benchmark in Telecommunication Services and Industrials, while holding underweight positions in Financials, Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology. The portfolio was also overweight in the United Kingdom and Norway, with underweight in Japan and France.
The investment team continues to build the portfolio one company at a time, by identifying those that are opportunistically capitalizing on change. In addition, we are maintaining our discipline of seeking to identify the best total return candidates with the optimal risk/reward profile. At Allianz Global Investors Capital LLC, we believe a discriminating environment that rewards corporations for exceeding expectations bodes well for the AGIC Global Equity & Convertible Income Fund investment process.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by determining the percentage change in NAV or market price (as applicable) in the specified period. The calculation assumes that all income dividends, capital gain and return of capital distributions, if any, have been reinvested. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return. |
|
|
|
Performance at market price will differ from its results at NAV. Although market price returns typically reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as changing views about the 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 price yield and NAV will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information purposes only and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a onetime public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are traded in the open market through a stock exchange. NAV is equal to total assets 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 quarterly per share dividend (comprised of net investment income and net short-term capital gains, if any) payable to shareholders by the market price per share at February 28, 2011. |

Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
AGIC Global Equity & Convertible Income Fund (the
Fund) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on May 3, 2007. Prior
to commencing operations on September 28, 2007, the Fund had no operations
other than matters relating to its organization and registration as a
diversified, closed-end management investment company 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
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 shares authorized.
The Funds investment objective is to seek total return comprised of capital appreciation, current income and gains. Under normal market conditions the Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in a diversified, global portfolio of equity securities and income-producing convertible securities. The Fund also employs a strategy of writing (selling) call options on stocks held, as well as on equity indexes, in an attempt to generate gains from option premiums. 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 these estimates.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund:
(a)
Valuation of Investments
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for
which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value.
Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales
prices, or if no sales are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a
quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing
services.
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security, are fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, or persons acting at their discretion pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Funds investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Synthetic convertible securities are valued based on quotations obtained from unaffiliated brokers who are the principal market-makers in such securities. Such valuations are derived by the brokers from proprietary models which are generally based on readily available market information including valuations of the common stock underlying the synthetic security. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. 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 of 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.
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.
The prices of certain portfolio securities or financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE. When fair valuing the securities, the Fund may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of U.S. securities or securities indices) that occur after the close of the relevant market and before the time the Funds NAV is calculated. With respect to certain foreign securities, the Fund may fair-value securities using modeling tools provided by third-party vendors. The Fund has retained a statistical

(continued)
research service to assist in the determining the fair value of
foreign securities. This service utilizes statistics and programs based on
historical performance of markets and other economic data to assist in making
fair value estimates. Fair value estimates used by the Fund for foreign
securities may differ from the value realized from the sale of those securities
and the difference could be material to the financial statements. Fair value
pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security or
other assets, and fair values used to determine the Funds NAV may differ from
quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the
same investments. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always
result in adjustments to the prices of securities or other assets held by the
Fund.
(b)
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the exit price) in an
orderly transaction between market participants. The three levels of the fair
value hierarchy are described below:
|
|
|
Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the 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 February 28, 2011 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. When fair-valuing securities, the Fund utilized multi-dimensional relational pricing models and the estimation of the price that would have prevailed in a liquid market for the international equities given information available at the time of evaluation.
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 Fund generally uses to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities, for Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock) Equity securities traded in inactive markets and certain foreign equity securities are valued using inputs which include broker-dealer quotes, recently executed transactions adjusted for changes in the benchmark index, or evaluated price quotes received from independent pricing services that take into account the integrity of the market sector and issuer, the individual characteristics of the security, and information received from broker-dealers and other market sources pertaining to the issuer or security. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of equity securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
Convertible Bonds & Notes Convertible bonds and notes are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of convertible bonds and notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
Option Contracts Option contracts traded over the counter (OTC) are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that incorporate various inputs such as interest rates, credit spreads, currency exchange rates and volatility measurements for in-the-money, at-the-money, and out-of-the-money contracts based on a given strike price. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of OTC option contracts are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
The Funds policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

* Transferred out of Level 2 into Level 3 because sufficient observable inputs were not available.
The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of Level 3 investments, which the Fund held at February 28, 2011, was $22. Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation is reflected on the Statement of Operations.
(c)
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.
Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost
basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income
adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization premiums is recorded on
an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are
accreted or amortized, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the
respective securities. Conversion premium is not amortized. Payments received
on synthetic convertible securities are generally included in dividend income.
Payments received from certain investments may be comprised of dividends,
realized gains and return of capital. These payments may initially be recorded
as dividend income and may be subsequently reclassified as realized gains
and/or return of capital upon receipt of information from the issuer.
(d)
Federal Income Taxes
The Fund intends to distribute all of its taxable income and
to comply with the other requirements of Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies.
Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.
Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the 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. The Funds management has determined that its evaluation has resulted in no material impact on the Funds financial statements at February 28, 2011. The Funds federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
(e)
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund declares quarterly dividends and distributions from
net investment income and gains from option premiums and the sale of portfolio
securities. The Fund records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on
the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net
investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance
with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These
book-tax differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature.
To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are
reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax
treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent
dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and
profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as dividends and/or
distributions to shareholders from return of capital.

1.
Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
(continued)
(f) Foreign Currency Translations
The Funds accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars as
follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investments and other assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the
prevailing exchange rate at the end of the period; and (2) purchases and sales,
income and expenses are translated at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of such transactions. The resulting net foreign currency gain
(loss) is included in the Funds Statement of Operations.
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 reporting and income tax reporting purposes.
(g)
Convertible Securities
It is the Funds policy to invest a portion of its assets in
convertible securities. Although convertible securities do derive part of their
value from that of the securities into which they are convertible, they are not
considered derivative financial instruments. However, certain of the Funds
investments in convertible securities include features which render them more
sensitive to price changes in their underlying securities. The value of
structured/synthetic convertible securities can be affected by interest rate
changes and credit risks of the issuer. Such securities may be structured in
ways that limit their potential for capital appreciation and the entire value
of the security may be at risk of loss depending on the performance of the
underlying equity security. Consequently, the Fund is exposed to greater
downside risk than traditional convertible securities, but still less than that
of the underlying stock.
2.
Principal Risks
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 (counterparty risk). The
Fund also is exposed to other risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate,
market price, foreign currency and credit risks.
Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by the 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.
Variable and floating rate securities generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. Inverse floating rate securities may decrease in value if interest rates increase. Inverse floating rate securities may also exhibit greater price volatility than a fixed rate obligation with similar credit quality. When the Fund holds variable or floating rate securities, a decrease (or, in the case of inverse floating rate securities, an increase) in market interest rate will adversely affect the income received from such securities and the NAV of the Funds shares.
The Fund is 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.
To the extent the 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 economic growth, inflation 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.

2.
Principal Risks
(continued)
The Fund is 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 will subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from future
political or economical 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 Fund is 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 Allianz Global Investors Capital LLC (AGIC or the Sub-Adviser), an affiliate of the Investment Manager, 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 Fund has received payment. Payment is made on the purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.
The counterparty 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 counterparty 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.
The market values of equity securities, such as common stock, preferred stock, securities convertible into equity securities or equity-related investments such as 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. 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 held synthetic convertible securities with Lehman Brothers entities as counterparty at the time the relevant Lehman Brother entity filed for protection or was placed in administration. The values of the relevant securities have been written down to their estimated recoverable values.
3. Financial Derivative Instruments
Disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities require qualitative disclosure regarding objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosure about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivatives, 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 sometimes uses 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.
Option
Transactions
The Fund writes (sells) call options on securities and
indices to earn premiums, for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or
otherwise as part of its investment strategies.
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, if any, 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.

Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser
The Fund has an Investment Management Agreement (the
Agreement) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the
Funds Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager is responsible for managing,
either directly or through others selected by it, the Funds investment
activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to the
Agreement, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable monthly, at
the annual rate of 1.00% of the Funds average daily total managed assets.
Total managed assets refer to the total assets of the Fund (including assets
attributable to borrowings that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities
(other than liabilities representing borrowings).
The Investment Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to manage the Funds investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for making all of the Funds investment decisions. The Investment Manager, and not the Fund, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Adviser in return for its services.

7. Legal Proceeding
In June and September 2004, the Investment Manager and
certain of its affiliates (including PEA Capital LLC (PEA), Allianz Global
Investors Distributors LLC and Allianz Global Investors of America, L.P.),
agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations, claims brought
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the New Jersey Attorney
General alleging violations of federal and state securities laws with respect
to certain open-end funds for which the Investment Manager serves as investment
adviser. The settlements related to an alleged market timing arrangement in
certain open-end funds formerly sub-advised by PEA. The Investment Manager and
its affiliates agreed to pay a total of $68 million to settle the claims. In
addition to monetary payments, the settling parties agreed to undertake certain
corporate governance, compliance and disclosure reforms related to market
timing, and consented to cease and desist orders and censures. Subsequent to
these events, PEA deregistered as an investment adviser and dissolved. None of
the settlements alleged that any inappropriate activity took place with respect
to the Funds.
Since February 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in a number of pending lawsuits concerning market timing, which allege the same or similar conduct underlying the regulatory settlements discussed above. The market timing lawsuits have been consolidated in a multidistrict litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (the MDL Court). After a number of claims in the lawsuits were dismissed by the MDL Court, the parties entered into a stipulation of settlement, which was publicly filed with the MDL Court in April 2010, resolving all remaining claims, but the settlement remains subject to the approval of the MDL Court.
The Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory activities relating to the Funds.
8.
Subsequent Events
On March 11, 2011, a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share
was declared to shareholders, payable March 30, 2011 to shareholders of record
on March 21, 2011.

Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of a common share at the market price on the first day and a sale of a common share at the market price on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed, for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Funds dividend reinvestment plan. Total investment return does not reflect brokerage commissions or sales charges in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares. Total investment return for a period of less than one year is not annualized. |
