Dear Shareholder:

 

Corporate bond investors enjoyed excellent returns for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010. These gains were accompanied by a gradual but erratic recovery of both the U.S. and global economies, leaving behind the severe downturn that ended in mid-2009.

 

Hans W. Kertess
Chairman

 

 

Twelve Months in Review

 

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010:

 

 

 

· PIMCO Corporate Income Fund returned 38.36% on net asset value (“NAV”) and 41.86% on market price.

 

· PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund returned 37.89% on NAV and 39.51% on market price.

 

Brian S. Shlissel
President & CEO

 

 

The U.S. economy, as measured by gross domestic product (“GDP”) expanded at a revised rate of 2.6% during the third quarter of calendar year 2010. This was a reversal of what had been a de-accelerating trend from the fourth quarter of 2009 to the second quarter of this year, in which GDP fell from a 5.0% to a 1.7% pace. In contrast to that period, which was to a large degree supported by external efforts such as the federal government’s stimulus package, growth now appears to be largely organic. Manufacturing is increasingly robust, exports are picking up and the American consumer is beginning to spend — albeit cautiously — again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As the economy lost steam, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) revealed that it would resume purchasing U.S. Treasury bonds — a reversal of its position earlier in the year. The goal behind this so-called “quantitative easing” would be to boost economic activity by pushing already low interest rates even lower. The Fed also held the closely-watched Federal Funds rate near zero and indicated it would continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Ben Bernanke, the Fed chairman, described economic conditions as “unusually uncertain.”

 

This uncertainty — along with concerns over changes in taxes and other legislative policies — resulted in continued corporate cost-cutting, and has largely repressed any inclination for companies to spend and hire. Combined with the low cost of capital, this has helped companies amass record amounts of cash. According to Federal Reserve data, at June 30, 2010, corporate America was sitting on an estimated $1.84 trillion — up 18% from June 30, 2009. It is no coincidence, therefore, that corporate debt default rates are plunging. Moody’s Investors Service, which tracks the corporate debt market, predicts default rates will fall below 3% by the end of 2010. This is regarded as a healthy figure, which has not been so low since August 2008.

The Road Ahead

We expect the U.S. economy will continue to recover at a sluggish pace. This will probably keep interest rates at record low levels for the near term. In fact, now that the Federal Reserve has indicated that it will embark on another round of quantitative easing, rates may drop even lower. However, lowering rates to boost economic activity is ultimately contradictory, since any significant economic revival would at some point result in higher rates. This interest rate risk, along with credit risk, currency risk and other variables, must be monitored carefully.

 

As 2010 draws to a close, it is clear that this growing economic strength has been largely supportive for corporate bonds. Across virtually every sector of the economy, corporate profits have been solid, and in some cases, spectacular. This is reflected in the record amount of cash held by U.S. Firms — nearly $2 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve. This in turn has meant a declining number of corporate defaults, as most firms can easily meet their debt obligations to bondholders. This has proven to be particularly rewarding for corporate securities with longer maturities or lower credit ratings, a trend that may continue into 2011 as the economy continues to grow. This outlook is tempered to some degree by the possibility that as the expansion continues, it would put upward pressure on interest rates — thus increasing borrowing costs.

PIMCO Corporate Income Fund Fund Insights

October 31, 2010 (unaudited)

 

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, PIMCO Corporate Income Fund returned 38.36% on NAV and 41.86% on market price.

 

The reporting period encompassed a strong environment for corporate debt markets. While there was significant volatility along the way, including intermittent “flight to quality” trades into U.S. Treasuries as concerns about the global economy waxed and waned, overall investors appeared to regain their appetite for credit and emerging markets risk. Relative to the moderate 8.01% return for the core U.S. fixed income market (as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index), high yield and investment grade debt returned 19.35% and 11.61%, respectively (as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. High Yield and U.S. Corporate Indices) for the reporting period.

 

The benefits of strong sector selection

The Fund’s exposure to the life insurance and airline sectors enhanced performance. Life companies were one of the best performing corporate sectors during the period as strong results from key companies boosted the sector’s overall credit profile. Airline issues, particularly enhanced equipment trusts certificates (“EETCs”), gained as the credit of airlines improved, providing support to the valuations of both their unsecured debt and EETC issues.

 

An allocation to emerging market bonds also benefitted returns as the JPMorgan EMBI Global Index advanced 17.70% during the period on investors’ rising risk tolerance as well as relatively strong growth in the developing world.

 

An underweight to deep cyclical credits such as entertainment, gaming, home construction, lodging, retailers, and textile corporate bonds hindered performance relative to the broader corporate bond market, as these issues, represented by the consumer cyclical component of the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index, outpaced most other corporate sectors during the period.

Despite posting positive returns, the Fund’s tactical exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), dampened relative performance as these securities, represented by the Barclays Capital Fixed-Rate MBS Index, underperformed most other fixed income sectors during the time period.

(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by determining the percentage change in NAV market price (as applicable) in the specified period. The calculation assumes that all income dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, have been reinvested. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges. 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 Fund’s shares, or changes in Fund dividends. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, market price, market yield and NAV will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information purposes only and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a onetime public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are traded in the open market through a stock exchange. NAV is equal to total assets attributable to common shareholders less total liabilities divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily.

 

(2) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly per share dividend (comprised of net investment income) payable to common shareholders by the market price per common share at October 31, 2010.

The benefits of strong sector selection

At the sector level, the Fund’s allocation to high-quality commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) supported performance, as the sector (as measured by the Barclays Capital CMBS Index) posted a strong return due in part to investors’ demand for yield.

 

The Fund’s exposure to the life insurance and airline sectors also enhanced performance. Life insurance companies were one of the best performing corporate sectors during the period, as strong results from key companies boosted the sector’s overall credit profile. Airline issues, particularly enhanced equipment trusts certificates (“EETCs”), gained as the credit of airlines improved, providing support to the valuations of both their unsecured debt and EETC issues.

These base lending rates are generally either the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the “LIBOR” or the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks, or the certificate of deposit rate. These securities are generally considered to be restricted as the Funds are ordinarily contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent bank and/or borrower prior to disposition. Remaining maturities of senior loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contractual or optional payments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. The interest rate disclosed reflects the rate in effect on October 31, 2010.

 

(d)

PIMCO Corporate Income Fund/PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund
Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2010

 

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

PIMCO Corporate Income Fund (“Corporate Income”) and PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund (“Income Opportunity”), each the “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”, were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on October 17, 2001 and September 12, 2007, respectively. Prior to commencing operations on December 21, 2001 and November 30, 2007, respectively, the Funds had no operations other than matters relating to their organization and registration as diversified, and non-diversified, respectively, closed-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder, as amended. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”) serves as the Funds’ Investment Manager and is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“Allianz Global”). Allianz Global is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly-traded European insurance and financial services company. The Funds have an unlimited amount of $0.00001 par value per share of common shares authorized.

 

Corporate Income’s primary investment objective is to seek high current income with capital preservation and capital appreciation as secondary objectives by investing at least 80% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of U.S. dollar denominated corporate debt obligations and of other income-producing securities.

 

Income Opportunity’s primary investment objective is to seek current income as a primary focus and also capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, Income Opportunity will seek to achieve its objective and produce total return for shareholders by investing in a global portfolio of corporate debt, government and sovereign debt, mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, bank loans and related instruments, convertible securities and income-producing securities of U.S. and foreign issuers, including emerging market issuers.

 

There is no guarantee that the Funds will meet their stated objectives.

 

The preparation of the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Funds’ management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in each 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 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, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily available. The Funds’ investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Exchange-traded futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. 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 each Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

The prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and these differences could be material to the Funds’ financial statements. Each Fund’s 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.

 

(b) Fair Value Measurements

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

 

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

·             Level 2 – valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or quotes from inactive exchanges

·             Level 3 – valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

An investment 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.

 

The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the year ended October 31, 2010 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. When fair-valuing securities, the Funds utilized option adjusted spread pricing techniques.

 

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

 

U.S. Treasury Obligations — U.S. Treasuries are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that evaluate the mean between the most recently quoted bid and ask price. The models also take into consideration data received from active market makers and broker-dealers, yield curves, and the spread over comparable U.S. Treasury issues. The spreads change daily in response to market conditions and are generally obtained from the new issue market and broker-dealer sources. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of U.S. Treasury obligations are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Government Sponsored Enterprise and Mortgage-Backed Securities — Government sponsored enterprise and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using pricing models based on inputs that include issuer type, coupon, cash flows, mortgage prepayment projection tables and Adjustable Rate Mortgage evaluations that incorporate index data, periodic and life caps, the next coupon reset date, and the convertibility of

the bond. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of Government sponsored enterprise and mortgage-backed securities are categorized as Level 2 to the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Municipal Bonds — Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades, bid-want lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond insurance. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of municipal bonds are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Sovereign Debt Obligations — Sovereign debt obligations are valued by independent pricing services based on discounted cash flow models that incorporate option adjusted spreads along with benchmark curves and credit spreads. In addition, international bond markets are monitored regularly for information pertaining to the issuer and/or the specific issue. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of sovereign debt obligations are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Corporate Bonds and Notes — Corporate bonds and notes are generally comprised of two main categories: consisting of 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 options adjusted spread models that include base curve and spread curve inputs. Adjustments to individual bonds can be applied to recognize trading differences compared to other bonds issued by the same issuer. High yield bonds are valued by independent pricing services based primarily on broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of corporate bonds and notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Asset-Backed Securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations — Asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are valued by independent pricing services using pricing models based on a security’s average life volatility. The models also take into account tranche characteristics such as coupon average life, collateral types, ratings, the issuer and tranche type, underlying collateral and performance of the collateral, and discount margin for certain floating rate issues. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — Forward foreign currency contracts are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, actual trading information and foreign currency exchange rates gathered from leading market makers and foreign currency exchange trading centers throughout the world. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of forward foreign currency contracts are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Credit Default Swaps — Credit default swaps are valued by independent pricing services using pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, default probabilities from index specific credit spread curves, recovery rates, and cash flows. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of credit default swaps are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Senior Loans — Senior Loans 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. 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.

 

The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

Transferred out of Level 3 into Level 2 because sufficient observable inputs were available.

 

The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of Level 3 investments, which Corporate Income held at October 31, 2010, was $7,464,273. The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of Level 3 investments and other financial instruments, which Income Opportunity held at October 31, 2010, was $3,259,770 and $82,516, respectively. Net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation are reflected on the Statements of Operations.

 

(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Securities purchased and sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis. Interest income adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premium 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Facility fees and other fees (such as origination fees) received by the Funds are amortized as income over the expected term of the loan. Commitment fees received by the Funds relating to unfunded purchase commitments are recorded as other fee income upon receipt. Paydown gains and losses are netted and recorded as interest income on the Statements of Operations.

 

(d) Federal Income Taxes

The Funds intend to distribute all of their taxable income and to comply with the 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.

PIMCO Corporate Income Fund/PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2010

 

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Funds’ management has determined that its evaluation has resulted in no material impact to the Funds’ financial statements at October 31, 2010. The federal income tax returns for the prior three fiscal years and since inception for Corporate Income and Income Opportunity, respectively, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

(e) Dividends and Distributions — Common Shares

Corporate Income declares dividends from net investment income to common shareholders monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Income Opportunity declares dividends from net investment income and short-term capital gains (if any) from the sale of portfolio securities and other sources to common shareholders monthly. Distributions of net long-term realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. The Funds record dividends and distributions to their 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 that 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) Foreign Currency Translation

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 currencies 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’ Statements of Operations.

 

The Funds do 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 Funds do 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) Senior Loans

The Funds 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 (the “Agent”) 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.

 

(h) Repurchase Agreements

The Funds enter into transactions with their custodian bank or securities brokerage firms whereby they purchase securities under agreements to resell such securities at an agreed upon price and date (“repurchase agreements”). The Funds, through their custodian, take possession of securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement. Such agreements are carried at the contract amount in the financial statements, which is considered to represent fair-value. Collateral pledged (the securities received), which consists primarily of U.S. government obligations and asset-backed securities, is held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the Funds until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and the procedures adopted by the Funds require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, be sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. If the

counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.

 

(i) Reverse Repurchase Agreements

In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Funds sell securities to a bank or broker-dealer and agree to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. Generally, the effect of such a transaction is that the Funds can recover and reinvest all or most of the cash invested in portfolio securities involved during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement and still be entitled to the returns associated with those portfolio securities. Such transactions are advantageous if the interest cost to the Funds of the reverse repurchase transaction is less than the returns it obtains on investments purchased with the cash. To the extent a Fund does not cover its positions in reverse repurchase agreements (by segregating liquid assets at least equal in amount to the forward purchase commitment), the Fund’s uncovered obligations under the agreements will be subject to the Fund’s limitations on borrowings. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Funds are obligated to repurchase under the agreements may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Funds’ use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted pending determination by the other party, or their trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Funds’ obligation to repurchase the securities.

 

(j) When-Issued/Delayed-Delivery Transactions

When-issued or delayed-delivery transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Funds will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a designated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations; consequently, such fluctuations are taken into account when determining the net asset value. The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When a security is sold on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds do not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.

 

(k) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities

Investments in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Funds to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. The decline in liquidity and prices of these types of securities may have made it more difficult to determine fair market value. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

 

(l) Short Sales

Short sale transactions involve the Funds selling securities they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Funds are obligated to deliver securities at the market price at the time the short position is closed. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested.

 

(m) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises

Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly-owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government include the Federal

National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

 

(n) Interest Expense

Interest expense primarily relates to the Funds’ participation in reverse repurchase agreement transactions. Interest expense is recorded as it is incurred.

 

(o) Custody Credits on Cash Balances

The Funds benefit from an expense offset arrangement with their custodian bank, whereby uninvested cash balances earn credits which reduce monthly custodian and accounting agent expenses. Had these cash balances been invested in income-producing securities, they would have generated income for the Funds. Cash overdraft charges, if any, are included in custodian and accounting agent fees.

 

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 various risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, 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 Funds are likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is used primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s market price to interest rate (i.e. yield) movements.

 

Variable and floating rate securities generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. Inverse floating rate securities may decrease in value if interest rates increase. Inverse floating rate securities may also exhibit greater price volatility than a fixed rate obligation with similar credit quality. When the Funds hold variable or floating rate securities, a decrease (or, in the case of inverse floating rate securities, an increase) in market interest rates will adversely affect the income received from such securities and the net asset value of the Funds’ shares.

 

Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities often involve risks that are different from or more acute than risks associated with other types of debt instruments. Generally, rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of fixed rate mortgage-related securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a result, in a period of rising interest rates, if the Funds hold mortgage-related securities, they may exhibit additional volatility. This is known as extension risk. In addition, adjustable and fixed rate mortgage-related securities are subject to prepayment risk. When interest rates decline, borrowers may pay off their mortgages sooner than expected. This can reduce the returns of the Funds because the Funds may have to reinvest that money at the lower prevailing interest rates. The Funds’ investments in other asset-backed securities are subject to risks similar to those associated with mortgage-related securities, as well as additional risks associated with the nature of the assets and the servicing of those assets.

 

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.

 

To the extent the Funds directly invest 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

2. Principal Risks (continued)

 

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 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 Funds.

 

The Funds are subjected 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 Funds to additional risks resulting from future political or economic conditions in such country or region and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws of currency exchange restrictions affecting such country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies.

 

The market values of equity securities, such as common and preferred stock, or equity-related investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. 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 Funds are exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss to the Funds could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the Funds’ financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Funds’ sub-adviser, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (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 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 party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) with select counterparties that govern transactions, over-the-counter derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into by the Funds and those counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements contain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements of the Funds.

 

The considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain purchases and sales made on a delayed-delivery basis are governed by Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“Master Forward Agreements”) between the Funds and select counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral.

 

The Funds are also party to Master Repurchase Agreements (“Master Repo Agreements”) with select counterparties. The Master Repo Agreements maintain provisions for initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral.

 

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.

 

Corporate Income had security transactions outstanding with Lehman Brothers entities as the counterparty at the time the relevant Lehman Brothers entity filed for protection or was placed in administration. The security transactions associated with Lehman Brothers Inc., (“SLH”) as counterparty were written down to their estimated recoverable

values. Anticipated losses for securities transactions associated with SLH have been incorporated as net realized gain (loss) on the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The remaining balances due from SLH are included in receivable from broker on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The estimated recoverable value of receivable is determined by independent broker quotes.

 

3. Financial Derivative Instruments

Disclosure about derivative instruments and hedging activities requires qualitative disclosure regarding objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosure about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosure about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements distinguish between derivatives which are accounted for as “hedges” and those that do not qualify for such accounting. Although the Funds sometimes use derivatives for hedging purposes, the Funds reflect derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Funds’ Statements of Operations, and such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

 

(a) Futures Contracts

The Funds use futures contracts to manage their exposure to the securities markets or the movements in interest rates and currency values. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contracts, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contracts are closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contracts at the time they were opened and the value at the time they were closed. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded is simultaneously reversed. The use of futures transactions involves various risks, including the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and underlying hedging assets, and possible inability or unwillingness of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. There were no open future contracts for Corporate Income and Income Opportunity at October 31, 2010.

 

(b) Option Transactions

The Funds purchase and write (sell) put and call options on securities and indices to earn premiums, for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or otherwise as part of their investment strategies. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Funds bear the risk of loss of premiums and changes in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid.

 

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’ Statements 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 Funds bear 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 Funds purchasing a security at a price different from its current market value. There were no open option transactions for Corporate Income and Income Opportunity at October 31, 2010.

 

(c) Swap Agreements

Swap agreements are privately negotiated agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Funds enter into credit default, cross-currency, interest rate, total return, variance and other forms of swap agreements in order to manage their exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risk. In connection with these agreements,

securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency.

 

Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments made or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Funds’ Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Funds’ Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Funds are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

 

Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, legal, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks include the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparties to the agreements may default on their obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

 

Credit Default Swap Agreements — Credit default swap agreements involve one party (referred to as the buyer of protection) making a stream of payments to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for the referenced entity, obligation or index. As sellers of protection on credit default swap agreements, the Funds will generally receive from the buyer of protection a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As sellers, the Funds would effectively add leverage to their investment portfolios because, in addition to their total net assets, the Funds would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

 

If the Funds are sellers of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If the Funds are buyers of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.

 

Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protection’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Funds use credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Funds own or have exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default.

 

Credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit events. Unlike credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, deliverable obligations in most instances would be limited to the specific referenced obligation as performance for asset-backed securities can vary across deals. Prepayments, principal paydowns, and other writedown or loss events on the underlying mortgage loans

will reduce the outstanding principal balance of the referenced obligation. These reductions may be temporary or permanent as defined under the terms of the swap agreement and the notional amount for the swap agreement will be adjusted by corresponding amounts. The Funds use credit default swaps on asset-backed securities to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the referenced obligation or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular referenced obligation’s default.

 

Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of reference credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset backed securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index, or in the case of a tranched index credit default swap, the credit event is settled based on the name’s weight in the index that falls within the tranche for which the Funds bear exposure. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. The Funds use credit default swaps on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds with a credit default swap on indices which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. Credit-default swaps on indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality.

 

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country as of period end are disclosed later in the Notes to Financial Statements (see 5(a)) and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

 

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Funds as sellers of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of October 31, 2010 for which the Funds are sellers of protection are disclosed later in the Notes to Financial Statements (see 5(a)). These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Funds for the same referenced entity or entities.

 

Interest Rate Swap Agreements — Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Funds with a counterparty of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments, with respect to the notional amount of principal. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels, (iv) callable interest rate swaps, under which the counterparty may terminate the swap trasaction in whole at zero cost by a predetermined date and time prior to the maturity date, (v) spreadlocks, which allow the interest rate swap users to lock in the forward differential (or spread) between the interest reate swap rate and a specified benchmark, or (vi) basis swaps, under which two parties can exchange variable interest rates based on different money markets.

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. The Funds enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency risk arising from the investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Funds also enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or shifting exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition, these contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain (loss) reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

4. Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser

 

Each Fund has an Investment Management Agreement (each an “Agreement”) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager is responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, each Fund’s investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to each Agreement, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.75% of Corporate Income’s average daily net assets, inclusive of net assets attributable to any Preferred Shares that may be outstanding and 1.00% of Income Opportunity’s average daily total managed assets. For Income Opportunity, total managed assets refers to the total assets (including any assets attributable to any reverse repurchase agreements and borrowings that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing reverse repurchase agreements and borrowings). In order to reduce Corporate Income’s expenses the Investment Manager had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment management fee at the annual rate of 0.05% of average daily net assets, inclusive of net assets attributable to any Preferred Shares that were outstanding, through December 31, 2009. For the year ended October 31, 2010, Corporate Income paid investment management fees at an annual rate of 0.74% of average daily net assets, inclusive of net assets attributable to any Preferred Shares that may be outstanding.

 

The Investment Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to manage each Fund’s investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for making all of the Funds’ investment decisions. The Investment Manager, and not the Funds, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Adviser in return for its services.

of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

(2)

If the Funds are sellers of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Funds will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

(3)

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements as of year end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

(4)

The maximum potential amount the Funds could be required to make available as sellers of credit protection or receive as buyers of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

(5)

The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the status at October 31, 2010 of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

6. Income Tax Information

 

Corporate Income:

 

The tax characters of dividends paid was:

 

 

 

Year ended
October 31, 2010

 

Year ended
October 31, 2009

 

Ordinary Income

 

$69,805,324

 

$48,017,588

 

 

At October 31, 2010, distributable earnings of $12,503,526 was comprised entirely from ordinary income.

 

For the year ended October 31, 2010, permanent “book-tax” differences were primarily attributable to the differing treatment of swap payments, foreign currency transactions and paydowns. These adjustments were to increase undistributed net investment income by $833,785 and increase accumulated net realized loss by $833,785.

 

Net investment income and net realized gains differ for financial statement and federal income tax purposes primarily due to the treatment of amounts received under swap agreements. For year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund received $555,243 from swap agreements, which are treated as net realized gain for financial statement purposes and as net income for federal income tax purposes.

 

At October 31, 2010, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $78,657,662 (of which $18,994,968 will expire in 2016, and $59,662,694 will expire in 2017) available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of any future net realized gains. To the extent that these losses are used to offset future realized capital gains, such gains will not be disbursed. During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund utilized $39,125,424 of available capital loss carryforwards.

At October 31, 2010, distributable earnings of $14,311,499 was comprised entirely of ordinary income.

 

For the year ended October 31, 2010, permanent “book-tax” differences were primarily attributable to the differing treatment of swap payments, foreign currency transactions and paydowns. These adjustments were to increase undistributed net investment income by $2,118,090 and increase accumulated net realized loss by $2,118,090.

 

Net investment income and net realized gains differ for financial statement and federal income tax purposes primarily due to the treatment of amounts received under swap agreements. For year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund received $942,984 from swap agreements, which are treated as net realized gain for financial statement purposes and as net income for federal income tax purposes.

 

At October 31, 2010, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $33,136,765 (of which $2,190,108 will expire in 2016 and $30,946,657 will expire in 2017) available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of any future net realized gains. To the extent that these losses are used to offset future realized capital gains, such gains will not be disbursed.

7. Auction-Rate Preferred Shares — Corporate Income

Corporate Income has 1,352 shares of Preferred Shares Series M, 1,352 shares of Preferred Shares Series T, 1,352 shares of Preferred Shares Series W, 1,352 shares of Preferred Shares Series TH and 1,352 shares of Preferred Shares Series F outstanding, each with a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus any accumulated, unpaid dividends.

 

Dividends are accumulated daily at an annual rate (typically re-set every seven days) through auction procedures. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid annually.

 

For the year ended October 31, 2010, the annualized dividend rates ranged from:

Corporate Income is subject to certain limitations and restrictions while Preferred Shares are outstanding. Failure to comply with these limitations and restrictions could preclude Corporate Income from declaring or paying any dividends or distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference plus any accumulated, unpaid dividends.

 

Preferred shareholders, who are entitled to one vote per share, generally vote together with the common shareholders but vote separately as a class to elect two Trustees and on any matters affecting the rights of the Preferred Shares.

 

Since mid-February 2008, holders of auction-rate preferred shares (“ARPS”) issued by Corporate Income have been directly impacted by an unprecedented 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 Corporate Income 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”, the 7 day “AA” Composite Commercial Paper Rate multiplied by a minimum of 150%, depending on the credit rating of the ARPS (which is a function of short-term interest rates and typically higher than the rate that would have otherwise been set through a successful auction). If Corporate Income 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 Fund’s common shareholders could be adversely affected.

 

See note “8. Legal Proceedings” below for a discussion of shareholder demand letters received by certain closed-end funds managed by the Investment Manager, including Corporate Income.

8. Legal Proceedings

 

In June and September 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates (including PEA Capital LLC (“PEA”), Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC and Allianz Global 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 multi-district 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.

 

In addition, the Sub-Adviser is the subject of a lawsuit in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division in which the complaint alleges that plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when the Sub-Adviser held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. In July 2007, the court granted class certification of a class consisting of those persons who purchased futures contracts to offset short positions between May 9, 2005 and June 30, 2005. The Sub-Adviser currently believes that the complaint is without merit and the Sub-Adviser intends to vigorously defend against this action.

 

Beginning in May 2010, several closed-end funds managed by the Investment Manager, including Corporate Income and certain other funds sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser, each received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf of certain common shareholders. The demand letters allege that the Investment Manager and certain officers and trustees of the funds breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the redemption at par of a portion of the funds’ ARPS and demand that the boards of trustees take certain action to remedy those alleged breaches. After conducting an investigation in August 2010, the independent trustees of Corporate Income rejected the demands made in the demand letters.

 

The Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory activities relating to the Funds.

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
PIMCO Corporate Income Fund and PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets applicable to common shareholders and of cash flows and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PIMCO Corporate Income Fund and PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund (the “Funds”) at October 31, 2010, the results of each of their operations and of cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in net assets applicable to common shareholders for PIMCO Corporate Income Fund and changes in net assets for PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on 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 October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and agent banks, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Tax Information:

Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, requires the Funds to advise shareholders within 60 days of the Funds’ tax year ended October 31, 2010 as to the federal tax status of dividends and distributions received by shareholders during such tax year.

 

Pursuant to the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, Corporate Income and Income Opportunity designate 2.40% and 3.64%, respectively, of ordinary dividends paid (or the maximum amount allowable) as qualified dividend income.

 

Corporate Income and Income Opportunity designate 2.40% and 3.64%, respectively, of ordinary dividends paid (or the maximum amount allowable) as qualifying for the Dividend Received Deduction.

 

Since the Funds’ tax year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent with respect to calendar year 2010. In January 2011, shareholders will be advised on IRS Form 1099 DIV as to the federal tax status of the dividends and distributions received during calendar 2010. The amount that will be reported will be the amount to use on the shareholder’s 2010 federal income tax return and may differ from the amount which must be reported in connection with the Funds’ tax year ended October 31, 2010. 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.

PIMCO Corporate Income Fund/PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund

Changes in Investment Policies/Portfolio Management Change — Corporate Income (unaudited)

 

 

Changes in Non-Fundamental Investment Policies:

 

Corporate Income:

 

Non-U.S. Dollar Denominated Securities. Effective April 12, 2010, Corporate Income may invest up to 25% of its total assets (measured at the time of investment) in non U.S. dollar denominated securities. This replaced Corporate Income’s prior maximum limit with respect to investment in debt instruments denominated in foreign currencies, which was 5% of total assets.

 

As a general matter providing additional flexibility to invest in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities could potentially increase a Fund’s exposures to foreign investment risk and/or foreign currency risk. See “2. Principal Risks” above for additional discussion of foreign investment risk, foreign currency risk and other relevant risks.

 

Effective March 1, 2010, Corporate Income adopted amended and restated by-laws (“By-laws”) that incorporate substantially revised and updated ratings criteria (the “New Fitch Criteria”) issued by Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) applicable to the Fund’s outstanding auction rate preferred shares (“Preferred Shares”). The New Fitch Criteria include two separate Preferred Shares asset coverage tests which differ from the single test previously applicable to Fitch’s ratings. Other key components of the New Fitch Criteria as cited by Fitch include, among others, updated asset discount factors, changes to issuer and industry concentration thresholds and guidelines, and inclusion of certain leverage and derivatives when calculating the Fitch asset coverage tests. The New Fitch Criteria are available on the Fitch website (www.fitchratings.com) and are incorporated by reference into Corporate Income’s By-laws. Furthermore, as announced in a press release dated March 12, 2010, Fitch has reaffirmed the ‘AAA’ rating it assigned to Corporate Income’s Preferred Shares.

 

Income Opportunity:

 

Below Investment Grade Securities. Effective December 15, 2009, Income Opportunity’s prior policy limiting the extent to which it could invest in below investment grade securities was rescinded such that the Fund may invest without limit in securities that are, at the time of purchase, rated below investment grade (below Baa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), below BBB by either Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch Ratings”) or unrated but judged by PIMCO to be of comparable quality), and may invest without limit in securities of any rating. Previously, Income Opportunity could invest without limit in below investment grade securities and up to 15% of its total assets in securities that were at the time of investment rated below B by one of the agencies rating the securities or that were unrated but judged by PIMCO to be of comparable quality.

 

The potential opportunities provided by lower quality securities in the high yield spectrum carry additional risks. Below investment grade securities are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and to repay principal when due, and are commonly referred to as “high yield” securities or “junk bonds.” See “2. Principal Risks” above for additional discussion of credit risk and other relevant risks.

 

Borrowing and Leverage. Effective January 27, 2010, Income Opportunity’s maximum 38% aggregate leverage policy was revised to permit the Fund to utilize reverse repurchase agreements up to 50% of the Fund’s total assets and to utilize other forms of leverage covered by the prior policy up to the maximum extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).

 

Income Opportunity’s prior policy had provided that it would limit its use of leverage from reverse repurchase agreements (whether or not these instruments are covered in accordance with 1940 Act standards), borrowings, any other senior securities representing indebtedness and any future issuance of preferred shares such that the proceeds therefrom to the Fund would not exceed 38% of the Fund’s total assets (including the amounts of leverage obtained through the use of such instruments) at the time utilized.

PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund Annual Report | 10.31.10

 


 

PIMCO Corporate Income Fund/PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund

Changes in Investment Policies/Portfolio Management Change — Corporate Income (unaudited) (continued)

 

 

That policy was rescinded and replaced in its entirely with the following policy:

 

Income Opportunity will limit its use of leverage from reverse repurchase agreements (whether or not these instruments are covered in accordance with the standards of the 1940 Act) such that the proceeds therefrom to the Fund will not exceed 50% of the Fund’s total assets (including the amounts of leverage obtained through the use of such instruments) at the time utilized.

 

The 1940 Act generally limits the extent to which Income Opportunity may utilize uncovered reverse repurchase agreements and other borrowings, together with any other senior securities representing indebtedness (as defined in the 1940 Act), to 33 1/3% of the Fund’s total assets less liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, at the time utilized. Also, under the 1940 Act, Income Opportunity is not permitted to issue preferred shares unless immediately after such issuance the Fund’s total assets less liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities is at least 200% of the liquidation value of the outstanding preferred shares plus the aggregate amount of any senior securities representing indebtedness held by the Fund (i.e., such liquidation value plus the aggregate amount of senior securities representing indebtedness may not exceed 50% of the Fund’s total net assets).

 

It should be noted that, while Income Opportunity’s use of leverage creates the opportunity for increased net income for the Fund, it also creates special risks, and there is no assurance that the Fund’s leveraging strategies will be successful. Leverage is a speculative technique that may expose Income Opportunity to greater risk and increased costs. If shorter-term interest rates rise relative to the rate of return on Income Opportunity’s portfolio, the interest and other costs to the Fund of leverage (including interest expenses on reverse repurchase agreements) could exceed the rate of return on the debt obligations and other investments held by the Fund, thereby reducing return to common shareholders. The use of leverage also increases the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of Income Opportunity’s common shares. The use by Income Opportunity of reverse repurchase agreements to obtain leverage also involves special risks. For instance, the market value of the securities that Income Opportunity is obligated to repurchase under a reverse repurchase agreement may decline below the repurchase price and the securities may not be returned to the Fund. Also, because the fees received by AGIFM and by PIMCO from Income Opportunity are based on the total managed assets of the Fund (including assets attributable to any reverse repurchase agreements, borrowings and preferred shares that are outstanding), AGIFM and PIMCO have a financial incentive for the Fund to use reverse repurchase agreements, borrowings and preferred shares, which may create a conflict of interest between AGIFM/PIMCO and the Fund’s common shareholders.

 

 

 

Portfolio Management Change — Corporate Income:

Effective December 15, 2009, Mr. William H. Gross assumed primary responsibility for the day-to-day portfolio management of Corporate Income. Mr. Gross founded PIMCO more than 39 years ago and is a managing director and co-Chief Investment Officer of the company. He has 41 years of investment experience and holds an MBA from the Anderson School of Management at the University of California, Los Angeles. He received his undergraduate degree from Duke University.

PIMCO Corporate Income Fund/PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund

Matters Relating to the Trustees’ Consideration of the Investment Management & Portfolio Management Agreements (unaudited)

 

 

Corporate Income:

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) and a majority of the non-interested Trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately, approve the Fund’s Management Agreements with the Investment Manager (the “Advisory Agreement”) and Portfolio Management Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”, and together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees met in person on June 22-23, 2010 (the “contract review meeting”) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from Fund management during the contract review meeting.

 

Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the continuation of the Fund’s Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement should be approved for a one-year period commencing July 1, 2010.

 

In connection with their deliberations regarding the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services performed by the Investment Manager or the Sub-Adviser under the applicable Agreements.

 

In connection with their contract review meeting, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) on the total return investment performance (based on net assets) of the Fund for various time periods, the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives as the Fund identified by Lipper and the performance of applicable benchmark indices, (ii) information provided by Lipper on the Fund’s management fees and other expenses and the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Lipper, (iii) information regarding the investment performance and management fees of comparable portfolios of other clients of the Sub-Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and other clients, (iv) the estimated profitability to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund for the one year period ended March 31, 2010, (v) descriptions of various functions performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser for the Fund, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (vi) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Fund.

 

The Trustees’ conclusions as to the continuation of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.

 

As part of their review, the Trustees examined the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s abilities to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Fund. The Trustees considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of the Sub-Adviser; the experience of key advisory personnel of the Sub-Adviser responsible for portfolio management of the Fund; the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser; and the level of skill required to manage the Fund. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Fund; the nature and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager is responsible for providing to the Fund; and conditions that might affect the Investment Manager’s or the Sub-Adviser’s ability to provide high quality services to the Fund in the future under the

PIMCO Corporate Income Fund/PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund

Matters Relating to the Trustees’ Consideration of the Investment Management & Portfolio Management Agreements (unaudited) (continued)

 

 

Agreements, including each organization’s respective business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Sub-Adviser’s investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Fund given its investment objective and policies, and that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser would be able to continue to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.

 

Based on information provided by Lipper, the Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s total return investment performance as well as the performance of comparable funds identified by Lipper. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees took into account information provided by the Investment Manager in connection with the contract review meeting, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year regarding the Fund’s performance.

 

In assessing the reasonableness of the Fund’s fees under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, the Fund’s management fee and the total expense ratio as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common and preferred shares and the management fee and total expense ratios of comparable funds identified by Lipper.

 

The Trustees specifically took note of how the Fund compared to its Lipper peers as to performance, management fee expense and total expenses. The Trustees noted that the Investment Manager had provided a memorandum containing comparative information on the performance and expenses information of the Fund compared to the its Lipper peer categories. The Trustees noted that while the Fund is not charged a separate administration fee, it was not clear whether the peer funds in the Lipper categories were charged such a fee by their investment managers.

 

The Trustees noted that the expense group for the Fund provided by Lipper is small, consisting of a total of five leveraged closed-end funds, not including the Fund. The Trustees also noted that average net assets of the common shares of the funds in the peer group ranged from $117.1 million to $1.525 billion, and that two of the funds are larger in asset size than the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the Fund was ranked four out of five funds in the expense peer group for actual management fees and three out of five funds in the expense group for actual total expenses (with funds ranked first having the lowest fees/expenses and ranked fifth having the highest fees/expenses in the peer group).

 

With respect to performance, the Trustees also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark and had first quintile performance for the one-year period ended March 31, 2010 against a peer group of ten funds. The Trustees also noted that the Fund had first quintile performance for the three-year period against a peer group of ten funds and first quintile performance for the five-year period ended March 31, 2010 against a peer group of nine funds. At the request of the Trustees, the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser agreed to continue to provide performance information related to the Fund on a monthly basis.

 

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that they were satisfied with the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s responses and efforts to continue to improve the Fund’s investment performance. The Trustees agreed to reassess the services provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser under the Agreements in light of the Fund’s ongoing performance at each quarterly Board meeting.

 

The Trustees also considered the management fees charged by Sub-Adviser to other clients, including institutional separate accounts with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. Regarding the institutional separate accounts, they noted that the management fees paid by the Fund is generally higher than the fees paid by these clients of the Sub-Adviser, but the Trustees were advised by the Sub-Adviser that the administrative burden for the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Fund is also relatively higher, due in part to the more extensive regulatory regime to which the Fund is subject in comparison to institutional separate accounts. The Trustees noted that the management fees paid by the Fund is generally higher than the fees paid by the open-end

funds offered for comparison but were advised that there are additional portfolio management challenges in managing the Fund, such as the use of leverage and meeting a regular dividend.

 

The Trustees also took into account that the Fund has preferred shares outstanding, which increases the amount of fees received by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Agreements (because the fees are calculated based on either the Fund’s net assets or total managed assets, including assets attributable to preferred shares and other forms of leverage outstanding but not deducting any liabilities connected to the leverage). In this regard, the Trustees took into account that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser have a financial incentive for the Fund to continue to have preferred shares outstanding, which may create a conflict of interest between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, on one hand, and the Fund’s common shareholders, on the other. In this regard, the Trustees considered information provided by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser indicating that the Fund’s use of leverage through preferred shares continues to be appropriate and in the interests of the Fund’s common shareholders.

 

Based on a profitability analysis provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund and determined that such profitability was not excessive.

 

The Trustees also took into account that, as a closed-end investment company, the Fund does not currently intend to raise additional assets, so the assets of the Fund will grow (if at all) only through the investment performance of the Fund. Therefore, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable under the Agreements.

 

Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called “fall-out benefits” to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, such as reputational value derived from serving as Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Fund.

 

After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees concluded with respect to the Fund, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements that the fees payable under the Agreements represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Fund.

 

Income Opportunity:

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) and a majority of the non-interested Trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately, approve the Fund’s Management Agreements with the Investment Manager (the “Advisory Agreement”) and Portfolio Management Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”, and together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees met in person on June 22-23, 2010 (the “contract review meeting”) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from Fund management during the contract review meeting.

 

Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the continuation of the Fund’s Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement should be approved for a one-year period commencing July 1, 2010.

 

In connection with their deliberations regarding the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services performed by the Investment Manager or the Sub-Adviser under the applicable Agreements.

Matters Relating to the Trustees’ Consideration of the Investment Management & Portfolio Management Agreements (unaudited) (continued)

 

 

In connection with their contract review meeting, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) on the total return investment performance (based on net assets) of the Fund for various time periods, the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives as the Fund identified by Lipper and the performance of applicable benchmark indices, (ii) information provided by Lipper on the Fund’s management fees and other expenses and the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Lipper, (iii) the profitability to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund for the one year period ended March 31, 2010, (iv) descriptions of various functions performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser for the Fund, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (v) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Fund.

 

The Trustees’ conclusions as to the continuation of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.

 

As part of their review, the Trustees examined the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s abilities to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Fund. The Trustees considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of the Sub-Adviser; the experience of key advisory personnel of the Sub-Adviser responsible for portfolio management of the Fund; the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser; and the level of skill required to manage the Fund. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Fund; the nature and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager is responsible for providing to the Fund; and conditions that might affect the Investment Manager’s or the Sub-Adviser’s ability to provide high quality services to the Fund in the future under the Agreements, including each organization’s respective business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Sub-Adviser’s investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Fund given its investment objective and policies, and that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser would be able to continue to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.

 

Based on information provided by Lipper, the Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s total return investment performance as well as the performance of comparable funds identified by Lipper. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees took into account information provided by the Investment Manager in connection with the contract review meeting, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year regarding the Fund’s performance.

 

In assessing the reasonableness of the Fund’s fees under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, the Fund’s management fee and the total expense ratio as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common shares and the management fee and total expense ratios of comparable funds identified by Lipper.

 

The Trustees specifically took note of how the Fund compared to its Lipper peers as to performance, management fee expense and total expenses. The Trustees noted that the Investment Manager had provided a memorandum containing comparative information on the performance and expenses information of the Fund compared to the its Lipper peer categories. The Trustees noted that while the Fund is not charged a separate administration fee, it was not clear whether the peer funds in the Lipper categories were charged such a fee by their investment managers.

 

The Trustees noted that the expense group for the Fund provided by Lipper is small, consisting of a total of three leveraged closed-end funds, not including the Fund. The Trustees also noted that average net assets of the common

shares of the funds in the peer group ranged from $126.6 million to $889.8 million, and that one of the other funds is smaller in asset size than the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the Fund was ranked three out of three funds in the expense peer group for actual management fees and two out of three funds in the expense group for actual total expenses (with funds ranked first having the lowest fees/expenses and ranked third having the highest fees/expenses in the peer group).

 

With respect to performance, the Trustees also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark and had first quintile performance for the one-year period ended March 31, 2010 against a peer group of nine funds.

 

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that they were satisfied with the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s responses and efforts to continue to improve the Fund’s investment performance. The Trustees agreed to reassess the services provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser under the Agreements in light of the Fund’s ongoing performance at each quarterly Board meeting.

 

Because the Sub-Adviser does not manage any funds or institutional separate accounts with investment strategies similar to the Fund, the Trustees did not consider the management fees charged by the Sub-Adviser to other clients.

 

Based on a profitability analysis provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund and determined that such profitability was not excessive.

 

The Trustees also took into account that, as a closed-end investment company, the Fund does not currently intend to raise additional assets, so the assets of the Fund will grow (if at all) only through the investment performance of the Fund. Therefore, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable under the Agreements.

 

Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called “fall-out benefits” to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, such as reputational value derived from serving as Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Fund.

 

After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees concluded with respect to the Fund, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements that the fees payable under the Agreements represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Fund.

Privacy Policy:

Our Commitment to You

We consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of our relationship with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of our current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure our shareholders’ privacy, we have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholders’ needs to be served.

 

Obtaining Personal Information

In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, we may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on our internet web sites.

 

Respecting Your Privacy

As a matter of policy, we do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by us to non-affiliated third parties, except as required for our everyday business purposes, such as to process transactions or service a shareholder’s account, or as otherwise permitted by law. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, and gathering shareholder proxies. We may also retain non-affiliated financial services providers, such as broker-dealers, to market our shares or products and we may enter into joint-marketing arrangements with them and other financial companies. We may also retain marketing and research service firms to conduct research on shareholder satisfaction. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. We may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to their respective brokerage or financial advisory firm, Custodian, and/or to their financial advisor or consultant.

 

Sharing Information with Third Parties

We reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect our rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, we may disclose information about a shareholder or shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party only if we receive a shareholder’s written request or consent.

 

Sharing Information with Affiliates

We may share shareholder information with our affiliates in connection with our affiliates’ everyday business purposes, such as servicing a shareholder’s account, but our affiliates may not use this information to market products and services to you except in conformance with applicable laws or regulations. The information we share includes information about our experiences and transactions with a shareholder and may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s transactions or accounts. Our affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.

 

Procedures to Safeguard Private Information

We take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, we have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In addition, we have physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in place to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information.

 

Disposal of Confidential Records

We will dispose of records, if any, that are knowingly derived from data received from a consumer reporting agency regarding a shareholder that is an individual in a manner that ensures the confidentiality of the data is maintained. Such records include, among other things, copies of consumer reports and notes of conversations with individuals at consumer reporting agencies.

PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund Annual Report | 10.31.10

 


 

PIMCO Corporate Income Fund/PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
(unaudited)

 

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

 

Unless you elect (or your broker or nominee elects) not to participate in the Plan, the number of Common Shares you will receive will be determined as follows:

 

(1)

If on the payment date the net asset value of the Common Shares is equal to or less than the market price per Common Share plus estimated brokerage commissions that would be incurred upon the purchase of Common Shares on the open market, the Funds will issue new shares at the greater of (i) the net asset value per Common Share on the payment date or (ii) 95% of the market price per Common Share on the payment date; or

 

 

(2)

If on the payment date the net asset value of the Common Shares is greater than the market price per Common Share plus estimated brokerage commissions that would be incurred upon the purchase of Common Shares on the open market, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and will purchase Common Shares in the open market, on the NYSE or elsewhere, for the participants’ accounts. It is possible that the market price for the Common Shares may increase before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases. Therefore, the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the market price on the payment date, resulting in the purchase of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in Common Shares issued by the Funds. The Plan Agent will use all dividends and distributions received in cash to purchase Common Shares in the open market on or shortly after the payment date, but in no event later than the ex-dividend date for the next distribution. Interest will not be paid on any uninvested cash payments.

 

You may withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving notice to the Plan Agent. If you withdraw or the Plan is terminated, you will receive a certificate for each whole share in your account under the Plan and you will receive a cash payment for any fraction of a share in your account. If you wish, the Plan Agent will sell your shares and send you the proceeds, minus brokerage commissions.

 

The Plan Agent maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and gives written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information you may need for tax records. The Plan Agent will also furnish each person who buys Common Shares with written instructions detailing the procedures for electing not to participate in the Plan and to instead receive distributions in cash. Common Shares in your account will be held by the Plan Agent in non-certificated form. Any proxy you receive will include all Common Shares you have received under the Plan.

 

There is no brokerage charge for reinvestment of your dividends or distributions in Common Shares. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Agent when it makes open market purchases.

 

Automatically reinvested dividends and distributions are taxed in the same manner as cash dividends and distributions.

 

The Funds and the Plan Agent reserve the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Funds reserve the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Additional information about the Plan may be obtained from the Funds’ shareholder servicing agent, BNY Mellon, P.O. Box 43027, Providence, RI 02940-3027, telephone number (800) 254-5197.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS

 

(a)

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics (the “Section 406 Standards for Investment Companies — Ethical Standards for Principal Executive and Financial Officers”) that applies to the registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer; the registrant’s Principal Financial Officer also serves as the Principal Accounting Officer.

The CODE OF ETHICS PURSUANT TO SECTION 406 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002 FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS (the “Code”) was updated to remove interested trustees from being subject to the Code, which is not required under Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Code also was updated to remove examples of specific conflict of interest situations and to add an annual certification requirement for Covered Officers. In addition, the approval or ratification process for material amendments to the Code was clarified to include approval by a majority of the independent trustees.

 

 

(c )

During the period covered by this report, there were not any amendments to a provision of the code of ethics adopted in 2 (a) above.

The Registrant’s policy is stated below.

 

 

 

PIMCO Corporate Income Fund (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 Fund’s 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 FUND

 

On an annual basis, the Fund’s Committee will review and pre-approve the scope of the audit of the Fund 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:

 

Annual Fund financial statement audits
Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required)
SEC and regulatory filings and consents



 

AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

 

The following categories of audit-related services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants and services falling under one of these categories will be pre-approved by the Committee on an annual basis if the Committee deems those services to be consistent with the accounting firm’s independence:

 

Accounting consultations
Fund merger support services
Agreed upon procedure reports (inclusive of quarterly review of Basic Maintenance testing associated with issuance of Preferred Shares and semiannual report review)
Other attestation reports
Comfort letters
Other internal control reports

 

Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process described above, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm’s independence, by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $250,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

 

TAX SERVICES

 

The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants and services falling under one of these categories will be pre-approved by the Committee on an annual basis if the Committee deems those services to be consistent with the accounting firm’s independence:

 

Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following:

 

Federal, state and local income tax compliance; and, sales and use tax compliance
Timely RIC qualification reviews
Tax distribution analysis and planning
Tax authority examination services
Tax appeals support services
Accounting methods studies
Fund merger support service
Other tax consulting services and related projects

 

Individual tax services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process described above, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting 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.

 

PROSCRIBED SERVICES

 

The Fund’s independent accountants will not render services in the following categories of non-audit services:

 

Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund
Financial information systems design and implementation
Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports
Actuarial services

 



 

Internal audit outsourcing services
Management functions or human resources
Broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services
Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit

 

Any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible

 

PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED TO OTHER ENTITIES WITHIN THE FUND COMPLEX

 

The Committee will pre-approve annually any permitted non-audit services to be provided to Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (Formerly, PA Fund Management LLC) or any other investment manager to the Funds (but not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted by the investment manager) (the “Investment Manager”) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Investment Manager that provides ongoing services to the Fund (including affiliated sub-advisers to the Fund), provided, in each case, that the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund (such entities, including the Investment Manager, shall be referred to herein as the “Accounting Affiliates”). Individual projects that are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting 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 Fund’s 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

e)

2. No services were approved pursuant to the procedures contained in paragraph (C) (7) (i) (C) of Rule 2-01 of Registration S-X.

 



 

 

 

f)

Not applicable

 

 

 

 

 

 

g)

Non-audit fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to the Adviser, for the 2009 Reporting Period was $4,282,724 and the 2010 Reporting Period was $3,956,161.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

PROXY VOTING POLICY

 

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

 

2.             Each Trust delegates the responsibility for voting proxies to Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (“AGIFM”), which will in turn delegate such responsibility to the sub-adviser of the particular Trust. AGIFM’s Proxy Voting Policy Summary is attached as Appendix A hereto.  Summaries of the detailed proxy voting policies of the Trusts’ current sub-advisers are set forth in Appendix B attached hereto.  Such summaries may be revised from time to time to reflect changes to the sub-advisers’ detailed proxy voting policies.

4.             AGIFM and each sub-adviser of a Trust with proxy voting authority shall deliver a copy of its respective proxy voting policies and any material amendments thereto to the applicable Board of the Trust promptly after the adoption or amendment of any such policies.

 

5.             The party voting the proxy shall: (i) maintain such records and provide such voting information as is required for the Trusts’ regulatory filings including, without limitation, Form N-PX and the required disclosure of policy called for by Item 18 of Form N-2 and Item 7 of Form N-CSR; and (ii) shall provide such additional information as may be requested, from time to time, by the Board or the Trusts’ Chief Compliance Officer.

Appendix A

 

ALLIANZ GLOBAL INVESTORS FUND MANAGEMENT LLC (“AGIFM”)

 

1.             It is the policy of AGIFM that proxies should be voted in the interest of the shareholders of the applicable fund, as determined by those who are in the best position to make this determination. AGIFM believes that the firms and/or persons purchasing and selling securities for the funds and analyzing the performance of the funds’ securities are in the best position and have the information necessary to vote proxies in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders, including in situations where conflicts of interest may arise between the interests of shareholders, on one hand, and the interests of the investment adviser, a sub-adviser and/or any other affiliated person of the fund, on the other.  Accordingly, AGIFM’s policy shall be to delegate proxy voting responsibility to those entities with portfolio management responsibility for the funds.

 

2.             AGIFM, for each fund which it acts as an investment adviser, delegates the responsibility for voting proxies to the sub-adviser for the respective fund, subject to the terms hereof.

 

3.             The party voting the proxies (e.g., the sub-adviser) shall vote such proxies in accordance with such party’s proxy voting policies and, to the extent consistent with such policies, may rely on information and/or recommendations supplied by others.

 

4.             AGIFM and each sub-adviser of a fund shall deliver a copy of its respective proxy voting policies and any material amendments thereto to the board of the relevant fund promptly after the adoption or amendment of any such policies.

 

5.             The party voting the proxy shall:  (i) maintain such records and provide such voting information as is required for such funds’ regulatory filings including, without limitation, Form N-PX and the required disclosure of policy called for by Item 18 of Form N-2 and Item 7 of Form N-CSR; and (ii) shall provide such additional information as may be requested, from time to time, by such funds’ respective boards or chief compliance officers.

 

6.             This Proxy Voting Policy Summary and summaries of the proxy voting policies for each sub-adviser of a fund advised by AGIFM shall be available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-254-5197 and (ii) at www.allianzinvestors.com.  In addition, to the extent required by applicable law or determined by the relevant fund’s board of directors/trustees or chief compliance officer, this Proxy Voting Policy Summary and summaries of the detailed proxy voting policies of each sub-adviser and each other entity with proxy voting authority for a fund advised by AGIFM shall also be included in the Registration Statement or Form N-CSR filings for the relevant fund.

 


 


 

Appendix B

 

PACIFIC INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT COMPANY LLC

 

Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. PIMCO has implemented the Proxy Policy for each of its clients as required under applicable law, unless expressly directed by a client in writing to refrain from voting that client’s proxies. Recognizing that proxy voting is a rare event in the realm of fixed income investing and is typically limited to solicitation of consent to changes in features of debt securities, the Proxy Policy also applies to any voting rights and/or consent rights of PIMCO, on behalf of its clients, with respect to debt securities, including but not limited to, plans of reorganization, and waivers and consents under applicable indentures.

 

The Proxy Policy is designed and implemented in a manner reasonably expected to ensure that voting and consent rights are exercised in the best interests of PIMCO’s clients. Each proxy is voted on a case-bycase basis taking into consideration any relevant contractual obligations as well as other relevant facts and circumstances at the time of the vote. In general, PIMCO reviews and considers corporate governance issues related to proxy matters and generally supports proposals that foster good corporate governance practices. PIMCO may vote proxies as recommended by management on routine matters related to the operation of the issuer and on matters not expected to have a significant economic impact on the issuer and/or its shareholders.

 

PIMCO will supervise and periodically review its proxy voting activities and implementation of the Proxy Policy. PIMCO will review each proxy to determine whether there may be a material conflict between PIMCO and its client. If no conflict exists, the proxy will be forwarded to the appropriate portfolio manager for consideration. If a conflict does exist, PIMCO will seek to resolve any such conflict in accordance with the Proxy Policy. PIMCO seeks to resolve any material conflicts of interest by voting in good faith in the best interest of its clients. If a material conflict of interest should arise, PIMCO will seek to resolve such conflict in the client’s best interest by pursuing any one of the following courses of action: (i) convening a committee to assess and resolve the conflict; (ii) voting in accordance with the instructions of the client; (iii) voting in accordance with the recommendation of an independent third-party service provider; (iv) suggesting that the client engage another party to determine how the proxy should be voted; (v) delegating the vote to a third-party service provider; or (vi) voting in accordance with the factors discussed in the Proxy Policy.

 

Clients may obtain a copy of PIMCO’s written Proxy Policy and the factors that PIMCO may consider in determining how to vote a client’s proxy. Except as required by law, PIMCO will not disclose to third parties how it voted on behalf of a client. However, upon request from an appropriately authorized individual, PIMCO will disclose to its clients or the entity delegating the voting authority to PIMCO for such clients, how PIMCO voted such client’s proxy. In addition, a client may obtain copies of PIMCO’s Proxy Policy and information as to how its proxies have been voted by contacting PIMCO.

 



 

ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES

 

(a)(1)

 

As of January 6, 2011, the following individual has primary responsibility for the day-to-day implementation of the PIMCO Corporate Income Fund (“PCN” or the “Fund”):

 

William H. Gross, CFA
Mr. Gross has been the portfolio manager for the Fund since December 2009.  Mr. Gross founded Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (``PIMCO’’) more than 39 years ago and is a managing director and co-Chief Investment Officer of the company. He has 41 years of investment experience and holds an MBA from the Anderson School of Management at the University of California, Los Angeles. He received his undergraduate degree from Duke University.

 

(a)(2)

 

The following summarizes information regarding each of the accounts, excluding the respective Fund managed by the Portfolio Manager as of October 31, 2010, including accounts managed by a team, committee, or other group that includes the Portfolio Manager.  Unless mentioned otherwise, the advisory fee charged for managing each of the accounts listed below is not based on performance.

*Of these other Pooled Investment Vehicles, 14 accounts totaling $5,200.40 million in assets pay an advisory fee that is based in part on the performance of the accounts.

 

**Of these other Accounts, 23 accounts totaling $11,401.73 million in assets pay an advisory fee that is based in part on the performance of the accounts.

 

From time to time, potential and actual conflicts of interest may arise between a portfolio manager’s management of the investments of a Fund, on the one hand, and the management of other accounts, on the other.  Potential and actual conflicts of interest may also arise as a result of PIMCO’s other business activities and PIMCO’s possession of material non-public information about an issuer.  Other accounts managed by a portfolio manager might have similar investment objectives or strategies as the Funds, track the same index a Fund tracks or otherwise hold, purchase, or sell securities that are eligible to be held, purchased or sold by the Fund.  The other accounts might also have different investment objectives or strategies than the Funds.

 

Knowledge and Timing of Fund Trades.  A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the portfolio manager’s day-to-day management of a Fund.  Because of their positions with the Fund, the portfolio managers know the size, timing and possible market impact of a Fund’s trades.  It is theoretically possible that the portfolio managers could use this information to the advantage of other accounts they manage and to the possible detriment of a Fund.

 



 

Investment Opportunities.  A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the portfolio manager’s management of a number of accounts with varying investment guidelines.  Often, an investment opportunity may be suitable for both the Fund and other accounts managed by the portfolio manager, but may not be available in sufficient quantities for both the Fund and the other accounts to participate fully.  Similarly, there may be limited opportunity to sell an investment held by a Fund and another account.  PIMCO has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to allocate investment opportunities on a fair and equitable basis over time.

 

Under PIMCO’s allocation procedures, investment opportunities are allocated among various investment strategies based on individual account investment guidelines and PIMCO’s investment outlook.  PIMCO has also adopted additional procedures to complement the general trade allocation policy that are designed to address potential conflicts of interest due to the side-by-side management of the Funds and certain pooled investment vehicles, including investment opportunity allocation issues.

 

Conflicts potentially limiting a Fund’s investment opportunities may also arise when the Fund and other PIMCO clients invest in different parts of an issuer’s capital structure, such as when the Fund owns senior debt obligations of an issuer and other clients own junior tranches of the same issuer.  In such circumstances, decisions over whether to trigger an event of default, over the terms of any workout, or how to exit an investment may result in conflicts of interest.  In order to minimize such conflicts, a portfolio manager may avoid certain investment opportunities that would potentially give rise to conflicts with other PIMCO clients or PIMCO may enact internal procedures designed to minimize such conflicts, which could have the effect of limiting a Fund’s investment opportunities.  Additionally, if PIMCO acquires material non-public confidential information in connection with its business activities for other clients, a portfolio manager may be restricted from purchasing securities or selling securities for the Fund. When making investment decisions where a conflict of interest may arise, PIMCO will endeavor to act in a fair and equitable manner as between the Fund and other clients; however, in certain instances the resolution of the conflict may result in PIMCO acting on behalf of another client in a manner that may not be the best interest, or may be opposed to the best interest, of the Fund.

 

Performance Fees.  A portfolio manager may advise certain accounts with respect to which the advisory fee is based entirely or partially on performance.  Performance fee arrangements may create a conflict of interest for the portfolio manager in that the portfolio manager may have an incentive to allocate the investment opportunities that he or she believes might be the most profitable to such other accounts instead of allocating them to the Fund.  PIMCO has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to allocate investment opportunities between the Fund and such other accounts on a fair and equitable basis over time.

 

(a) (3)

 

As of October 31, 2010, the following explains the compensation structure of the individual who has primary responsibility for day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund:

 

PIMCO has adopted a Total Compensation Plan for its professional level employees, including its portfolio managers, that is designed to pay competitive compensation and reward performance, integrity and teamwork consistent with the firm’s mission statement.  The Total Compensation Plan includes an incentive component that rewards high performance standards, work ethic and consistent individual and team contributions to the firm.  The compensation of portfolio managers consists of a base salary, discretionary performance bonus, and may include an equity or long term incentive component.

 

Portfolio managers who are Managing Directors of PIMCO also receive compensation from PIMCO’s profits.  Certain employees of PIMCO, including portfolio managers, may elect to defer compensation through PIMCO’s deferred compensation plan.  PIMCO also offers its employees a non-contributory defined contribution plan through which PIMCO makes a contribution based on the employee’s compensation.

 



 

The Total Compensation Plan consists of three components:

 

·                                  Base Salary — Base salary is determined based on core job responsibilities, market factors and business considerations.  Salary levels are reviewed annually or when there is a significant change in job responsibilities or the market.

 

·                                  Performance Bonus — Performance bonuses are designed to reward high performance standards, work ethic and consistent individual and team contributions to the firm.  Each professional and his or her supervisor will agree upon performance objectives to serve as the basis for performance evaluation during the year.  The objectives will outline individual goals according to pre-established measures of group or department success. Achievement against these goals is measured by the employee and supervisor will be an important, but not exclusive, element of the bonus decision process.

 

·                                  Equity or Long Term Incentive Compensation — Equity allows certain professionals to participate in the long-term growth of the firm.  The M unit program provides for annual option grants which vest over a number of years and may convert into PIMCO equity that shares in the profit distributions of the firm.  M Units are non-voting common equity of PIMCO and provide a mechanism for individuals to build a significant equity stake in PIMCO over time.  Option awards may represent a significant portion of individual’s total compensation.

 

In certain countries with significant tax implications for employees to participate in the M Unit Option Plan, PIMCO continues to use the Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) in place of the M Unit Option Plan.  The LTIP provides cash awards that appreciate or depreciate based upon the performance of PIMCO’s parent company, Allianz Global Investors, and PIMCO over a three-year period.  The aggregate amount available for distribution to participants is based upon Allianz Global Investors’ profit growth and PIMCO’s profit growth.

 

Participation in the M Unit Option Plan and LTIP is contingent upon continued employment at PIMCO.

 

In addition, the following non-exclusive list of qualitative criteria may be considered when specifically determining the total compensation for portfolio managers:

 

·

3-year, 2-year and 1-year dollar-weighted and account-weighted, pre-tax investment performance as judged against the applicable benchmarks for each account managed by a portfolio manager (including the Funds) and relative to applicable industry peer groups;

 

 

·

Appropriate risk positioning that is consistent with PIMCO’s investment philosophy and the Investment Committee/CIO approach to the generation of alpha;

 

 

·

Amount and nature of assets managed by the portfolio manager;

 

 

·

Consistency of investment performance across portfolios of similar mandate and guidelines (reward low dispersion);

 

 

·

Generation and contribution of investment ideas in the context of PIMCO’s secular and cyclical forums, portfolio strategy meetings, Investment Committee meetings, and on a day-to-day basis;

 

 

·

Absence of defaults and price defaults for issues in the portfolios managed by the portfolio manager;

 

 

·

A portfolio manager’s compensation is not based directly on the performance of any Fund or any other account managed by that portfolio manager.

 



 

Profit Sharing Plan.  Instead of a bonus, portfolio managers who are Managing Directors of PIMCO receive compensation from a non-qualified profit sharing plan consisting of a portion of PIMCO’s net profits.  Portfolio managers who are Managing Directors receive an amount determined by the Partner Compensation Committee, based upon an individual’s overall contribution to the firm and the Bonus Factors.  Under his employment agreement, William Gross receives a fixed percentage of the profit sharing plan.

 

Allianz Transaction Related Compensation.  In May 2000, a majority interest in the predecessor holding company of PIMCO was acquired by a subsidiary of Allianz AG (currently known as Allianz SE) (“Allianz”). In connection with the transaction, Mr. Gross received a grant of restricted stock of Allianz, the last of which vested on May 5, 2005.

 

Portfolio managers who are Managing Directors also have long-term employment contracts, which guarantee severance payments in the event of involuntary termination of a Managing Director’s employment with PIMCO.
