Dear Stockholders/Shareholders:

The US economy continued to expand throughout the fiscal six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2013. In contrast, growth in many other developed countries moderated and in certain situations fell into recession. Overall, the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) monetary policy supported the US stock market while the US fixed income market was adversely impacted by rising interest rates.

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2013:

 

n   PCM Fund, Inc. returned 3.74% on net asset value (“NAV”) and 1.57% on market price.

 

n   PIMCO Dynamic Credit Income Fund returned 1.06% on NAV and -6.52% on market price since its inception on January 31, 2013.

For the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2013, the US Treasury market, as measured by the Barclays US Treasury Index, returned 0.06% and the Barclays Fixed Rate MBS Index, which measures the performance of investment grade fixed-rate mortgage backed securities, declined 2.04% during the period. The Barclays US Aggregate Index, a broad measure of government and corporate bond performance, fell 2.44% and the Barclays US Credit Index, a measure of corporate bond performance, declined 3.62%.

The US economy continued to grow during the fiscal six-month reporting period however, the pace of expansion was far from robust. Gross domestic product (“GDP”), the value of goods and services produced in the country, the broadest measure of economic activity and the principal indicator of economic performance, grew at an annual pace of 0.4% during the fourth quarter of 2012. GDP growth rose to 1.8% during the first quarter of 2013, partially due to stronger consumer spending.

While US economic data was mixed, there were continuing signs of the long-awaited recovery in the housing market. In addition unemployment remains elevated although the unemployment rate declined from 7.8% in December 2012 to 7.6% in June 2013 as the pace of new job growth trended higher. Elsewhere, despite concerns of higher tax rates, the “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, consumer spending held up relatively well during the reporting period.

The Fed and other developed country central banks, including the European Central Bank and The Bank of Japan, maintained their accommodative monetary policies during the reporting period. However, following its meeting on June 19, 2013, Fed Chairman Bernanke said “…the Committee currently anticipates that it would be appropriate to moderate the monthly pace of purchases later this year; and if the subsequent data remain broadly aligned with our current expectations for the economy, we would continue to reduce the pace of purchases in measured steps through the first half of next year, ending purchases around midyear.” These comments triggered a sharp rise in Treasury yields and falling bond prices. The benchmark 10-year Treasury bond began the fiscal period yielding 1.78% and ended the six-month period at 2.52%.

Outlook

As the second half of the year unfolds, the mood appears similar to late December 2012. Market volatility has increased, not due to economic concerns, but rather uncertainties surrounding the Fed tapering its asset purchases. In fact, most economic measures have demonstrated improvement. The housing market has rebounded sharply in recent months, the labor market has picked up and consumer confidence has been on the upswing. At the same time, inflation remains tame.

Still, there are two major headwinds: fear over the Fed winding down quantitative easing sooner than expected and concerns about China’s economic slowdown and overall emerging market weakness. We expect the Fed’s stance to remain accommodative, even if it starts to taper its purchase program toward the end of the year. Fed tapering is likely to create higher volatility, but we believe that the Fed will only raise interest rates if it is confident the economic recovery is on solid footing. As for China, its cyclical data is showing signs of weakness, but it is our view that it is not weak enough to dramatically curtail growth.

Fund Insights

PCM Fund, Inc.

PIMCO Dynamic Credit Income Fund

 

PCM Fund, Inc.

For the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2013, PCM Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) returned 3.74% on net asset value (“NAV”) and 1.57% on market price, outperforming the unmanaged Barclays CMBS Investment Grade Index1 (the “benchmark index”), which returned -1.31% during the reporting period.

The US fixed income market experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period, all told, weak results were generated. Market volatility was triggered by a number of factors, including uncertainties regarding the sequestration, the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis and geopolitical issues. While the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) maintained its highly accommodative monetary policy, in June, the Fed indicated that it may begin to taper its asset purchase program sooner than previously anticipated. Against this backdrop, both short- and long-term Treasury yields moved sharply higher and the yield curve steepened.

Most spread sectors (non-US Treasuries) posted negative returns and generally performed in line with equal-duration Treasuries during the six months ended June 30, 2013. One notable exception was high yield corporate bonds, as the Barclays High Yield Index gained 1.42% during the reporting period. In contrast, the overall US fixed income market (as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index) declined 2.44%, and the commercial mortgage-backed

securities (“CMBS”) market, as measured by the benchmark index, fell 1.31%. For much of the reporting period, the CMBS market benefited from the strengthening economic environment and gradually improving fundamentals. However, the fixed income market’s sell-off in June 2013 also negatively impacted CMBS, which more than offset the gains achieved from the proceeding five months. Within the CMBS market, lower rated securities outperformed higher rated investments, as fixed-rate BBB CMBS returned 0.55%, compared to -1.71% for fixed-rate AAA CMBS.

Spread sector exposures generally produced positive results

The Fund’s exposure to the Banking sector contributed to performance during the reporting period. This sector generated solid results due to improving fundamentals and the ongoing economic recovery. The Fund’s performance was further enhanced by an allocation to non-agency mortgage-backed securities. The sector benefited from overall solid demand from investors looking to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment. Supporting non-agency mortgage-backed securities were continued signs of a rebound in the housing market.

Detracting from performance was the Fund’s allocation to super-senior CMBS as CMBS positioned high in the capital structure underperformed the lower rated (less senior) portion of the CMBS capital structure.

 

 

1. The Barclays CMBS Investment Grade Index is an index designed to mirror commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) of investment grade quality (Baa3/BBB-/BBB- or above) using Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch respectively, with maturity of at least one year.

Fund Insights (continued)

 

PIMCO Dynamic Credit Income Fund

For the period from its inception on January 31, 2013 through June 30, 2013 (the “reporting period”), PIMCO Dynamic Credit Income Fund (the “Fund”) returned 1.06% on net asset value (“NAV”) and -6.52% on market price. In comparison, the 80% Barclays Investment Grade Index/20% BofA High Yield Index (the “benchmark index”) returned -2.26%, the Barclays Global Credit Index, the BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield BB/B Constrained Index and the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index returned -3.11%, -0.45% and 1.67%, respectively, during the same period.

The US fixed income market experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. Market volatility was triggered by a number of factors, including moderating global growth, uncertainties regarding sequestration and the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis. A sharp rise in Treasury yields and falling bond prices were triggered by uncertainties surrounding the Fed tapering its asset purchases.

Sector and duration positioning drive results

An allocation to non-agency mortgage-backed securities contributed to results, as this sector outperformed the broader credit market due to generally positive supply/demand technicals. An emphasis on banking issues enhanced performance, as these bonds outperformed the broad credit market during the reporting period.

Extending the Fund’s duration in the second quarter detracted from performance, as rates rose sharply on the Fed’s taper talk. The Fund’s overweighting compared to the broad market to high yield corporate bonds was detrimental for performance, as their spreads widened during the reporting period. However, this was somewhat offset by the positive impact of the Fund’s exposure to higher coupon high yield corporate bonds. Elsewhere, the Fund’s tactical exposure to emerging market debt was not rewarded, as this asset class underperformed the broad credit market during the period.

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

Performance at market price will differ from 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 stock, or changes in the Fund’s dividends.

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

(2) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly dividend per share (comprised of net investment income) by the market price per share at June 30, 2013.

(3) Represents Reverse Repurchase Agreements (“Leverage”) outstanding, as a percentage of total managed assets. Total managed assets refer to total assets (including assets attributable to Leverage) minus liabilities (other than liabilities representing Leverage).

  Credit Spread not quoted for asset-backed securities.  
(1)   This represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make available as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.  
(2)   The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the status at June 30, 2013 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 have 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.  

 

(m)   At June 30, 2013, the Fund held $260,000 in cash as collateral in cash as collateral for derivative contracts. Cash collateral held may be invested in accordance with the Fund’s investment strategy.

  Credit Spread not quoted for asset-backed securities.  
(1)   This represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make available as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.  
(2)   The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the status at June 30, 2013 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 have 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.

Dynamic Credit Income issued 121,000,000 shares in its initial public offering. An additional 16,204,500 shares were issued in connection with the underwriter’s over-allotment option. These shares were all issued at $25.00 per share before an underwriting discount of $1.125 per share. Offering costs of $1,815,000 (representing approximately $0.015 per share) were offset against the proceeds of the offering and over-allotment option and have been charge to paid-in capital in excess of par. The

Sub-Adviser paid all organizational costs of approximately $25,000.

PCM’s primary investment objective is to achieve high current income. Capital gain from the disposition of investments is a secondary objective of the Fund. Dynamic Credit Income’s primary investment objective is to seek current income. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Funds will meet their stated objectives.

The preparation of the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Funds’ management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the normal course of business, the 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.

In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance that creates a two tiered approach to assess whether an entity is an investment company. The guidance will also require an investment company to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value and will require additional disclosures relating to investment company status, any changes thereto and information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided to any of the investment company’s investees. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or

after December 15, 2013 and the Funds’ interim periods within those fiscal years. The Funds’ management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

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. 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 centrally cleared swaps are valued at the 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.

The Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted procedures for valuing portfolio securities and other financial derivative instruments in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated the responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser. The

Funds’ Valuation Committee was established by the Board to oversee the implementation of the Funds’ valuation methods and to make fair value determinations on behalf of the Board, as instructed. The Sub-Adviser monitors the continued appropriateness of methods applied and determines if adjustments should be made in light of market changes, events affecting the issuer, or other factors. If the Sub-Adviser determines that a valuation method may no longer be appropriate, another valuation method may be selected, or the Valuation Committee will be convened to consider the matter and take any appropriate action in accordance with procedures set forth by the Board. The Board shall review the appropriateness of the valuation methods and these methods may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Valuation Committee.

Benchmark pricing procedures are used as the basis for setting the base price of a fixed-income security and for subsequently adjusting the price proportionally to market value changes of a pre-determined security deemed to be comparable in duration, generally a U.S. Treasury or sovereign note based on country of issuance. The base price may be a broker-dealer quote, transaction price, or an internal value as derived by analysis of market data. The base price of the security may be reset on a periodic basis based on the availability of market data and procedures approved by the Valuation Committee. The validity of the fair value is reviewed by the Sub-Adviser on a periodic basis and may be amended as the availability of market data indicates a material change.

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 the 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 relations 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.

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

 

n   Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Funds have the ability to access
n   Level 2 – valuations based on other significant observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates or other market corroborated inputs
n   Level 3 – valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Sub-Adviser’s or Valuation Committee’s own assumptions and securities whose price was determined by using a single broker’s quote)

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

Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock) – Equity securities traded in inactive markets 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.

U.S. Treasury Obligations – U.S. Treasury obligations 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.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

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.

Corporate Bonds & Notes – Corporate bonds & notes are generally comprised of two main categories: investment grade bonds and high yield bonds. Investment grade bonds are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, live trading levels, recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, and option adjusted spread models that include base curve and spread curve inputs. Adjustments to individual bonds can be applied to recognize trading

differences compared to other bonds issued by the same issuer. High yield bonds are valued by independent pricing services based primarily on broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of corporate bonds & notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

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 traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) 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.

Centrally cleared credit default swaps are valued at the price determined by the relevant exchange. 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.

Interest Rate Swaps – OTC interest rate swaps are valued by independent pricing services using pricing models that are based on real-time intraday snapshots of relevant interest rate curves that are built using the most actively traded securities for a given maturity. The pricing models also incorporate cash and money market rates. In addition, market data pertaining to interest rate swaps is monitored regularly to ensure that interest rates are properly depicting the current market rate. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued at the price determined by the relevant exchange. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of interest rate 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. These quoted prices are based on interest rates, yield curves, option adjusted spreads and credit spreads. 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 valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the period ended June 30, 2013 were intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in aggregate, that is significant to the 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. Investments categorized as Level 1 or 2 as of period end may have been transferred between Levels 1 and 2 since the prior period due to changes in the valuation method utilized in valuing the investments.

(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 premiums is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or

amortized, respectively, to interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Facility fees and other fees received after settlement date relating to senior loans and consent fees relating to corporate actions are recorded as miscellaneous 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 other requirements of Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. Funds’ management has determined that its evaluation of the positions taken in the tax returns has resulted in no material impact to the Funds’ financial statements at June 30, 2013. The federal income tax returns for the prior three years or since inception, as applicable, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

(e) Dividends and Distributions

PCM declares dividends from net investment income to stockholders monthly and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any are paid at least annually.

Dynamic Credit Income intends to declare monthly distributions from net investment income but may fund a portion of it’s

distributions with gains from the sale of portfolio securities and other sources.

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

(f) Foreign Currency Translation

Dynamic Credit Income’s 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 Fund’s Statement of Operations.

Dynamic Credit Income does not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Accordingly, such foreign currency gain (loss) is included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. However, the Fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain (loss) upon the sale or

maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations; such amount is categorized as foreign currency gain (loss) for both financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.

(g) Senior Loans

The Funds may purchase assignments of, and participations in, Senior Loans originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign commercial bank, insurance company, finance company or other financial institution (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 are parties 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 Funds enter into transactions, under the terms of the Master Repo Agreements, 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 under the Master Repo Agreements, 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. At period end, PCM and Dynamic Credit Income had investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value $500,000 and $77,200,000, respectively, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at period end.

(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 the Funds obtain on investments purchased with the cash. To the extent the Funds do not cover their positions in reverse repurchase agreements (by segregating liquid assets at least equal in amount to the forward purchase commitment), the Funds’ uncovered obligations under the agreements will be subject to the Funds’ limitations on borrowings.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Fund is 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 its 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) Sale-Buybacks

A Fund may enter into financing transactions referred to as ‘sale-buybacks’. A sale-buyback transaction consists of a sale of a security by a

Fund to a financial institution, the counterparty, with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same or substantially the same security at an agreed-upon price and date. A Fund is not entitled to receive principal and interest payments, if any, made on the security sold to the counterparty during the term of the agreement. The agreed-upon proceeds for securities to be repurchased by a Fund are reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A Fund will recognize net income represented by the price differential between the price received for the transferred security and the agreed-upon repurchase price. This is commonly referred to as the ‘price drop’. A price drop consists of (i) the foregone interest and inflationary income adjustments, if any, a Fund would have otherwise received had the security not been sold and (ii) the negotiated financing terms between a Fund and the counterparty. Foregone interest and inflationary income adjustments, if any, are recorded as components of interest income on the Statements of Operations. Interest payments based upon negotiated financing terms made by a Fund to counterparties are recorded as a component of interest expense on the Statements of Operations. In periods of increased demand for the security, a Fund may receive a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to the Fund. A Fund will segregate assets determined to be liquid by the Investment Manager or otherwise cover its obligations under sale-buyback transactions.

(l) 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 make 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.

(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) Restricted Securities

The Funds are permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.

(o) Interest Expense

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

(p) Securities traded on to-be-announced basis

The Funds may from time to time purchase securities on a to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA transaction, the Funds commit to purchasing or selling securities for which all specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date of the underlying security transactions. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Funds, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Funds enter into a TBA transaction, cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid securities are segregated in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations, and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.

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 are also exposed to other risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, foreign currency, credit and leverage risks.

Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of increases in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the values 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 NAV 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 a Fund holds mortgage-related securities, it 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 Dynamic Credit Income directly invests 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

2. Principal Risks (continued)

 

may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including economic growth, inflation, changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, Dynamic Credit Income investments in foreign currency-denominated securities may reduce the returns of the Fund.

Dynamic Credit Income is subject to elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the U.S., due to concentrated investments in foreign issuers located in a specific country or region. Such concentrations will subject Dynamic Credit Income to additional risks resulting from future political or economic conditions in such country or region and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or 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 securities may decline due to general market conditions (market risk) which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse 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 that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity-related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.

The Funds are exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with

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

The Funds are exposed to risks associated with leverage. Leverage may cause the value of the Funds’ stock to be more volatile than if the Funds’ did not use leverage. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Funds’ portfolio securities. The Funds’ may engage in transactions or purchase instruments that give rise to forms of leverage. Obligations to settle reverse repurchase agreements may be detrimental to the Funds’ performance. In addition, to the extent the Funds employ leverage, dividend and interest costs may not be recovered by any appreciation of the securities purchased with the leverage proceeds and could exceed the Funds’ investment returns, resulting in greater losses.

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 derivatives 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 Dynamic Credit Income 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 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.

PCM had security transactions outstanding with Lehman Brothers entities as the counterparty at the time the relevant Lehman Brothers entity filed for bankruptcy 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. Adjustments to anticipated losses for security 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 receivables is determined by an independent broker quote.

3. Financial Derivative Instruments

Disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities requires qualitative disclosure regarding objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosure about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivatives, and disclosure about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements distinguish between derivatives, which are accounted for as “hedges”, and those that do not qualify for such accounting. Although the Funds at times 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 its 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.

(b) Swap Agreements

Swap agreements are bilaterally negotiated agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market or event-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap agreements may be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“OTC swaps”) or may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered commodities exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”). The Funds may enter into credit default, cross-currency, interest rate, total return, variance and other forms of swap agreements in order to, among other things, manage its exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral or margin 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.

OTC swap 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. Changes in market value, if any, are reflected as a component of net changes in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Funds’ Statements of Operations. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable, as applicable, for variation margin on centrally cleared swaps on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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 the 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 the sellers, the Funds would effectively add leverage to its investment portfolio because, in addition to its 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, the Funds 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 or sovereign issues 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 or sovereign issues 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 or sovereign issues, 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 of 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, 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 or sovereign issues as of period end are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments, 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 June 30, 2013 for which the Funds are the seller of protection are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments, 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 its respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments, with respect to the notional amount of principal. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels, (iv) callable interest rate swaps, under which the counterparty may terminate the swap transaction in whole at zero cost by a predetermined date and time prior to the maturity date, (v) spreadlocks, which allow the interest rate swap users to lock in the forward differential (or spread) between the interest rate swap rate and a specified benchmark, or (vi) basis swaps, under which two parties can exchange variable interest rates based on different money markets.

Each Fund has an Investment Management Agreement (each an “Agreement”) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of each Fund’s Board, the Investment Manager is responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, the Funds’ investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to each Agreement, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.80% and 1.15% of the average daily total managed assets for PCM and Dynamic Credit Income, respectively. Total managed assets refer to the total assets of each Fund (including assets attributable to any reverse repurchase agreements and borrowings) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing reverse repurchase agreements and borrowings). For these purposes, “borrowings” includes amount of leverage attributable to such instruments as reverse repurchase agreements.

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

Proxy Voting Policies & Procedures:

A description of the policies and procedures that the Funds have adopted to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information about how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve month period ended June 30 is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Funds’ stockholder/shareholder servicing agent at (800) 254-5197; (ii) on the Funds’ website at us.allianzgi.com/closedendfunds; and (iii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov.

 

 

Loan Investments and Origination:

The Funds may invest in loans and related investments, which include, among others, senior loans, subordinated loans (including second lien loans, B-Notes and mezzanine loans), whole loans, commercial real estate and other commercial loans and structured loans. The Funds may originate loans or acquire direct interests in loans through primary loan distributions and/or in private transactions. In the case of subordinated loans, there may be significant indebtedness ranking ahead of the borrower’s obligation to the holder of such a loan, including in the event of the borrower’s insolvency. Mezzanine loans are typically secured by a pledge of an equity interest in the mortgage borrower that owns the real estate rather than an interest in a mortgage.

Investments in loans are generally subject to risks similar to those of investments in other types of debt obligations, including, among others, credit risk, interest rate risk, variable and floating rate securities risk, and risks associated with mortgage-related securities. For more information on these and other risks, see Note 2 in the Notes to Financial Statements. In addition, in many cases loans are subject to the risks associated with below-investment grade securities. The Funds may be subject to heightened or additional risks and potential liabilities and costs by investing in mezzanine and other subordinated loans or acting as an originator of loans, including those arising under bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, equitable subordination, lender liability, environmental and other laws and regulations, and risks and costs associated with debt servicing and taking foreclosure actions associated with the loans.

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

PCM Fund, Inc.

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that both the full Board of Directors (the “Directors”) and a majority of the non-interested Directors (the “Independent Directors”), voting separately, approve the Fund’s Management Agreement with the Investment Manager (the “Advisory Agreement”) and Portfolio Management Agreement between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”). The Directors met telephonically on June 10, 2013 and in person on June 25, 2013 (the “contract review meetings”) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Directors 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 meetings.

In connection with their deliberations regarding the continuation of the Agreements, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, 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 Directors 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 Agreement.

In connection with their contract review meetings, the Directors received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent third party, on the total return investment performance (based on net assets) of the Fund for various time periods

and the investment performance of a group of funds with investment classifications/objectives comparable to those of the Fund identified by Lipper (the “Lipper performance universe”), (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 estimated profitability to the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Fund for the one year period ended December 31, 2012, (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 Directors’ conclusions as to the continuation of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Directors and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Directors’ deliberations are described below, although individual Directors may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors. The Directors recognized that the fee arrangement for the Fund is the result of review and discussion in prior years between the Independent Directors and the Investment Manager, that certain aspects of such arrangement may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and that the Directors’ conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of this same arrangement during the course of the year and in prior years.

Fund-specific performance results reviewed by the Directors are discussed below. The

comparative performance information was prepared and provided by Lipper and was not independently verified by the Directors. Due to the passage of time, these performance results may differ from the performance results for more recent periods, including those shown elsewhere in this report. The Directors reviewed, among other information, comparative information showing performance of the Fund against its Lipper performance universe for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2013.

In addition, it was noted that the Directors considered matters bearing on the Fund and its advisory arrangements at their meetings throughout the year, including a review of performance data at each regular meeting.

As part of their review, the Directors examined the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s abilities to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Fund. Among other information, the Directors 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; and the capability of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Directors 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 financial condition and operational

stability. Based on the foregoing, the Directors concluded that the Sub-Adviser’s investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Fund given its investment objectives 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.

In assessing the reasonableness of the Fund’s fees under the Agreements, the Directors considered, among other information, the Fund’s management fee and its total expense ratio as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common shares and the management fee and total expense ratios of a peer expense group of funds based on information provided by Lipper. The Fund-specific fee and expense results discussed below were prepared and provided by Lipper and were not independently verified by the Directors.

The Directors specifically took note of how the Fund compared to its Lipper peers as to performance, management fee expense and total net expenses. The Directors noted that while the Fund is not charged a separate administration fee (recognizing that the management fee includes a component for administrative services), it was not clear in all cases whether the peer funds in the Lipper category were separately charged such a fee by their investment managers, so that the total expense ratio (rather than any individual expense component) represented the most relevant comparison. It was noted that the total expense ratio comparisons reflects the effect of expense waivers/reimbursements (although none exist for the Fund).

The Directors noted that the expense group for the Fund provided by Lipper consisted of a total of seven closed-end funds, including the Fund. The Directors noted that only leveraged closed-end funds were considered for inclusion in the

group. The Directors also noted that average net assets of the common shares of the funds in the expense group ranged from $72.8 million to $509.3 million, and that four of the funds are larger in asset size than the Fund. The Directors also noted that the Fund was ranked seventh out of seven funds in the expense group for total expense ratio based on common share assets, fifth out of seven funds in the expense group for total expense ratio based on common share and leveraged assets combined, seventh out of seven funds in actual management fees based on common share assets and fourth out of seven funds in actual management fees based on common share and leveraged assets combined (with funds ranked first having the lowest fees/expenses and ranked seventh having the highest fees/expenses in the expense group).

With respect to Fund total return performance relative to its Lipper performance universe (based on net asset value), the Directors noted that the Fund had second quintile performance for the one-year period and first quintile performance for the three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2013.

In addition to their review of Fund performance based on net asset value, the Directors also considered the market value performance of the Fund’s common shares and related share price premium and/or discount information based on the materials provided by Lipper and management.

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

The Directors also took into account that the Fund uses leverage, such as by the use of reverse repurchase agreements, which increase

total assets and thus the absolute amount of fees received by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Agreements (because the fees are calculated based on total managed assets). In this regard, the Directors took into account that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser have a financial incentive for the Fund to continue to have leverage outstanding, which may create a conflict of interest between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, on the one hand, and the Fund’s shareholders, on the other. In this regard, the Directors considered information provided by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser and related presentations as to why the Fund’s use of leverage continues to be appropriate and in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders under current market conditions.

Based on a profitability analysis provided by the Investment Manager, the Directors also considered the estimated profitability to the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Fund and determined that such profitability did not appear to be excessive.

The Directors 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 Directors did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable under the Agreements.

Additionally, the Directors 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 Directors concluded with respect to the Fund, within the context of their

overall conclusions regarding the Agreements and based on the information provided and related representations made by management, that they were satisfied with the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s responses and efforts relating to the investment performance of the Fund. The Directors also concluded that the fees payable under each Agreement represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager or Sub-Adviser, as the case may be. Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously concluded that the continuation of the Agreements was in the interests of the Fund and its shareholders, and should be approved.

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

PIMCO Dynamic Credit Income Fund

 

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 Agreement with the Investment Manager (the “Advisory Agreement”) and Portfolio Management Agreement between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”). The Trustees met in person on December 12, 2012 (the “contract review meeting”) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement for initial terms of two years commencing upon their execution.

In connection with their deliberations regarding the approval 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 to be performed by the Investment Manager or the Sub-Adviser under the applicable Agreement.

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) Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) information on the total return investment performance for various time periods of a group of funds, including certain funds managed by the Sub-Adviser, with investment classifications/objectives comparable to those of the Fund (the Fund was, at the time, newly organized and had no performance history of its own), (ii) Lipper information on the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds in the Lipper peer group (the

“Lipper Fee Information”), (iii) information regarding the fees for other closed-end funds and private funds managed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, (iv) an estimate of the profitability to the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Fund, (v) descriptions of various functions proposed to be performed by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser for the Fund, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices and administrative services, and (vi) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel proposed to provide investment management, administrative and other services to the Fund.

The Trustees’ conclusions as to the approval 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. Among other information, 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 who would be responsible for portfolio management of the Fund; the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; and the capability of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment

Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s services to be provided 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 would provide 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 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 meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.

In assessing the reasonableness of the Fund’s proposed fees under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, the Fund’s management fee and its projected total expense ratio and the management fees and total expense ratios of a peer group of funds based on the Lipper Fee Information.

The Trustees specifically took note of how the Fund was expected to compare to its Lipper peers as to management fee expense and total net expenses. The Trustees noted that while the Fund is not charged a separate administration fee (recognizing that the management fee includes a component for administrative services), it was not clear in all cases whether the peer funds comprising the Lipper Fee Information were separately charged such a fee by their investment managers, so that the total expense ratio (rather than any individual expense component) represented the most relevant comparison. It was noted that the total expense ratio comparisons reflect the effect of expense waivers/reimbursements (although none were proposed or reflected for the Fund) and do not reflect interest expense.

The Trustees also considered the management fees charged by the Sub-Adviser to other clients, including other closed-end funds and private funds with similar investment objectives and policies to those of the Fund. The Trustees noted that the management fee to be paid by the Fund is lower than the management fees paid by the private funds offered for comparison, and is higher than the fees paid by the registered funds offered for comparison. The Trustees were advised that there are additional portfolio management challenges in managing the Fund, including the broader scope of the types of investments in which the Fund can invest, as compared to the other registered funds that were offered for comparison with lower fees.

The Trustees also considered that the proposed fees payable to the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser under the Agreements are based on the Fund’s average daily total managed assets, including assets attributable to any reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, borrowings and preferred shares that may be outstanding, and that therefore these fees will increase in absolute dollar terms to the extent that the Fund utilizes leverage through these instruments and other borrowings. In this regard, the Trustees took into account that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser have a financial incentive for the Fund to have leverage outstanding, which may create a conflict of interest between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, on the one hand, and the Fund’s shareholders, on the other. In this regard, the Trustees took into account information from the Sub-Adviser as to why management believes that leverage may be beneficial to the Fund and its common shareholders.

Based on a profitability analysis provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees also considered the estimated profitability to the Investment Manager of its relationship with the

Fund based on an estimated initial offering size of the Fund and determined that such profitability did not appear to be excessive. The Trustees also took into account that estimated profitability would increase if the Fund raised a higher level of assets in its initial public offering.

The Trustees also took into account that, as a closed-end investment company, the Fund does not currently intend to raise additional assets following the IPO, so the net assets of the Fund are expected to grow (if at all) only through the investment performance of the Fund. Therefore, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale resulting from an increase in the Fund’s net assets attributable to common shares following the completion of the Fund’s initial public offering 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, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements and based on the information provided and related representations made by management, that the fees payable under each Agreement represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Fund. Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that the approval of the Agreements was in the interests of the Fund and its shareholders, and should be approved for initial two-year periods commencing upon their execution.
