Portfolio Management Discussion  |  10/31/24
In the following interview, Andrew Feltus, Jonathan Sharkey, Chin Liu, and Lawrence Zeno discuss the factors that affected the performance of Pioneer Diversified High Income Fund, Inc. during the six-month period ended October 31, 2024. Mr. Feltus, Managing Director, Co-Director of High Yield, and a portfolio manager at Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. (Amundi US), Mr. Sharkey, a senior vice president and a portfolio manager at Amundi US, Mr. Liu, Managing Director, Director of Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS) and Fixed-Income Solutions, and a portfolio manager at Amundi US, and Mr. Zeno, a vice president and a portfolio manager at Amundi US, are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.
Q
How did the Fund perform during the six-month period ended October 31, 2024?
A
Pioneer Diversified High Income Fund, Inc. returned 9.30% at net asset value (NAV) and 12.73% at market price during the six-month period ended October 31, 2024. During the same six-month period, the Fund’s composite benchmark returned 5.66% at NAV. The Fund’s composite benchmark is based on equal weights of the ICE Bank of America (ICE BofA) Global High Yield and Crossover Country Corporate and Government Index and the Morningstar/Loan Syndications & Trading Association (Morningstar/LSTA) Leveraged Loan Index.
  During the six-month period ended October 31, 2024, the ICE BofA Global High Yield and Crossover Country Corporate and Government Index returned 7.06%, and the Morningstar/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index returned 4.25%. Unlike the Fund, the composite benchmark and its component indices do not use leverage. While the use of leverage increases investment opportunity, it also increases investment risk.
  During the same six-month period, the average return at NAV of the 24 closed end funds in Morningstar’s High Yield Bond Closed End Funds category (which may or may not be leveraged) was 9.02%, while the same closed end fund Morningstar category’s average return at market price was 12.77%.
  The shares of the Fund were selling at a 5.60% discount to NAV on October 31, 2024. Comparatively, the Fund’s shares were selling at a discount to NAV of 8.47% on April 30, 2024.

  On October 31, 2024, the standardized 30-day SEC yield of the Fund’s shares was 7.92%*.
Q
Which of the Fund’s investment strategies contributed positively to the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance during the six-month period?
A
The Fund is leveraged, which magnifies market movements. This proved additive to benchmark-relative returns during the six-month period, driven by the market’s positive performance during the period. With respect to ratings categories, the Fund’s tilt toward lower quality issues within the high yield corporate bond market benefited benchmark relative results during the six-month period, as non-rated issues outperformed the higher-rated “BB” issues in which the Fund was underweight.
  The Fund’s allocation to insurance-linked securities (ILS) aided the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance during the six-month period. During the period we increased the Fund’s allocation from 19.0% to 22.2% of Fund AUM. One of the main value propositions of ILS, in our view, continues to be that the sources of risk and return for the asset class have remained structurally uncorrelated to the performance of the vast majority of other asset classes. That characteristic was a factor in the positive performance for ILS during the six-month period. The continued elevated pricing trends associated with underwriting catastrophe risk along with increased loss retention levels by insurance companies helped drive the Fund allocation’s positive performance during the period. As of October 31, 2024, the North Atlantic hurricane season actual results stood at 15 named storms, 10 hurricanes and 5 major hurricanes. Many of these events did not make landfall in the U.S., which is positive for insurance-linked securities. For those that did make landfall in the U.S., most of the insured losses were retained by insurance companies with a small impact on the reinsurance industry.
  A top performing loan within the Fund’s allocation was U.S. Renal Care, a dialysis provider. The loans were impacted

  negatively during the COVID pandemic, but have had recent positive performance following a restructuring of the balance sheet.
Q
Which investment strategies detracted from the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance results during the six-month period ended October 31, 2024?
A
Within the high yield allocation, underweight exposures to the sovereign, cable satellite and technology sectors were the largest detractors from the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance during the six-month period. The individual securities that detracted most from the benchmark-relative performance during the period were within the consumer non-cyclical, energy and basic industries sectors.
  The securitized allocation detracted slightly from the Fund’s returns, with the asset-backed securities (ABS) portion of the Fund’s portfolio being the most significant negative contributor. The primary driver of the ABS underperformance was position in a servicing advance deal. The residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS) portion of the Fund’s portfolio was a slight drag on relative returns, despite each security in that sector achieving positive absolute performance as housing credit remains very strong.
  Within the loans allocation, loans issued by Titan Acquisition Holdings, a ship maintenance and overhaul provider that provides services to the government and commercial customers, detracted from the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance. The Titan Acquisition Holdings loans were initially trading at a premium, and were repriced during the period.
Q
Did the Fund’s distributions

to stockholders change during the six-month period ended October 31, 2024?
A
The Fund’s monthly distribution rate increased in May from $0.0900 to $0.0975 where it remained for the remainder of the six-month period.

Dividends/Distributions are not guaranteed.

Q
How did the level of leverage in the Fund change during the six-month period ended October 31, 2024?
A
The Fund employs leverage through a credit agreement. As of October 31, 2024, 28.5% of the Fund’s total managed assets were financed by leverage, or borrowed funds, compared with 28.4% of the Fund’s total managed assets financed by leverage at the start of the six-month period on May 1, 2024. During the six-month period, the Fund had a net increase in the amount of funds borrowed of a total of $2.0 million, from $41.325 million as of April 30, 2024 to $43.325 million as of October 31, 2024. The interest rate on the Fund's leverage decreased by 46 basis points from April 30, 2024 to October 31, 2024, as short-term rates decreased following the Fed rate cut.
Q
Did the Fund have any exposure to derivatives during the six- month period ended October 31, 2024?
A
Yes, we invested the Fund’s portfolio in forward foreign currency exchange contracts (currency forwards) and other currency related derivatives during the period, which had a positive effect on benchmark-relative performance. These investments were made to hedge positions bought in non-dollar securities. In addition, the Fund’s small position in credit default swaps contributed modestly to relative returns.
Q
What is your investment outlook, and how is the Fund positioned heading into the second half of its fiscal year?
A
The US economy has experienced stronger growth than anticipated this year, but our expectation is that growth will decelerate in the futuere. The once-overheated labor market has cooled, with companies reducing their hiring rates, yet layoffs have remained relatively low thus far. To trigger a recession in the US, an increase in layoffs is likely necessary. Although the Federal Reserve’s shift towards a less restrictive policy and emphasis on employment downside risks lessen the threat of recession, a hard economic landing is still possible. The re-emergence of a more dovish Powell has also decreased downside risk for corporate bonds. Currently, high yield spreads are relatively and historically narrow, suggesting that investors have already accounted for limited economic risk. While yields remain attractive relative to inflation, the market has factored in a very

5

  aggressive trajectory for Fed rate cuts over the next year. We expect defaults to decline as we do not see a significant sector or driver that would increase defaults to levels seen in past periods of volatility such as the 2008 financial crisis.
  September 2024 opened with the economic tea leaves reflecting a continued cooling in US labor demand, with two separate data releases pointing to a further contraction in job openings and monthly job creation falling to a level below labor force growth. As the month progressed, investor attention shifted to the September 18th Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. A Fed Funds rate cut, the first rate action since July 2023, was widely anticipated with expectations divided between an initial rate reduction of 25 and 50 basis points. Ultimately, the FOMC proceeded with a 50-basis point cut. Treasury yields rose post the FOMC announcement as the Fed had implemented a “hawkish 50” by kicking off an easing cycle without showing alarm or committing to similar magnitude rate cuts in the future. Chair Powell highlighted that the historically outsized initial rate cut was largely driven by a decrease in PCE inflation to 2.2%, which is close to the Fed’s 2.0% target, rather than by major concerns regarding growth. He also noted that the timing and extent of future rate cuts would be contingent on economic data, particularly employment figures, and he refrained from endorsing market predictions of another 50-basis point cut at one of the remaining meetings of the year.
  We do not believe that the high yield market will perform as poorly as it has historically performed in a recession. First, credit quality is currently higher than it has been historically, featuring more BB-rated (higher quality) credits and a reduced number of CCC-rated (lower quality) credits. Secondly, issuance has been focused on refinancing debt, rather than adding debt for acquisitions or other purposes.
  The very tight levels of spreads are a concern. Yields remain attractive, but spreads are in the tightest decile historically. The market is pricing a default rate lower than 2% which is less than historical non-recessionary levels of 2-3%. We believe that while defaults are recovering from the shock of rising interest rates, the market expectations of a decline in defaults are ahead of our expectations. We have sought to reduce risk in the Fund’s

  portfolio relative to recent periods, and sought to maintain a high level of yield. This will allow us to add risk to the Fund’s portfolio if the market sells off to levels that price in some margin of error.
  With respect to ILS, the rate-on-line (premium) for private insurance-linked securities formats and the event-linked (catastrophe) bond market spread remain elevated and provide attractive total yield potential. The majority of the calendar year return stream in the ILS marketplace has tended to occur in the second half of the year, driven by seasonality (in years with normal loss activity, historically around 60% to 70% of the annual return). Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future results.
  Overall, we have slightly reduced the allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). There is very little exposure to the office sector in the Fund's allocation to CMBS, as we remain cautious towards this subsector of the securitized market. The office sector must be delineated between the haves and have nots of the sector. While older sub-standard buildings are struggling to retain and attract tenants, much of the newer stock has attracted tenants that are willing to pay up for the newest product on the block. Offices built since 2010 have had positive absorption over the past year. Older non-renovated buildings have seen their values plummet over the past year and will continue to struggle to re-finance. We believe there will be more pain to come in the office sector as loans come up to their maturity dates.
  Over the near-term, we believe loans could continue to provide attractive yields relative to many other fixed income assets under the “higher for longer” theme. This theme is still relevant, despite the recent Fed cuts, as we believe future cuts may not be as rapid as once believed a year earlier. Spreads have tightened and loan prices have appreciated, but we believe there is still room for continued price appreciation. We believe default rates may have peaked, and while they remain elevated, they are below the historical average. The reduced likelihood of a recession has provided some breathing room for lower rated single B loans. It has been a strong year for collateralized loan obligation (CLO) creation. As spreads have tightened, CLO

  refinancing has increased and the new issuance has stabilized the market. This is a trend we may see continued.
  The main focus of the Fund continues to be income and the higher level of interest rates has helped. Our cost of leverage has declined slightly as the Fed has begun the process of easing. This should allow some flexibility, although it might be accompanied by a more difficult environment for high yield bonds. While the market has been “risk on” in the last year, we believe security selection will be more important going forward, and we’ve seen distressed securities struggle lately. Our team of analysts will focus on identifying mispriced securities to help the Fund perform.

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments on pages 15  - 44 for a full listing of Fund securities.
All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility and heightened uncertainty. The market prices of securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political, or regulatory conditions, recessions, inflation, changes in interest or currency rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, armed conflict including Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible counter measures, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other government actions, or adverse investor sentiment. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.
Investments in high-yield or lower-rated securities are subject to greater-than-average risk. The Fund may invest in securities of issuers that are in default or that are in bankruptcy.
Investing in foreign and/or emerging markets securities involves risks relating to interest rates, currency exchange rates, economic, and political conditions, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
When interest rates rise, the prices of debt securities held by the Fund will generally fall. Conversely, when interest rates fall the prices of debt securities held by the Fund generally will rise. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities.
Investments held by the Fund are subject to possible loss due to the financial failure of the issuers of the underlying securities and the issuers’ inability to meet their debt obligations.
The Fund invests a significant amount of its total assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities may be difficult to dispose of at a price reflective of their value at the times when the Fund believes it is desirable to do so and the market price of illiquid securities is generally more volatile than that of more liquid securities. Illiquid securities also are more difficult to value, and investment of the Fund’s assets in illiquid securities may restrict the Fund’s ability to take advantage of market opportunities.
The Fund is authorized to borrow from banks and issue debt securities, which are forms of leverage. The Fund currently employs leverage through a credit agreement. Leverage creates significant risks, including the risk that the Fund’s incremental income or capital appreciation for investments purchased with the

proceeds of leverage will not be sufficient to cover the cost of the leverage, which may adversely affect the return for stockholders.
The Fund is required to maintain certain regulatory and other asset coverage requirements in connection with the use of leverage. In order to maintain required asset coverage levels, the Fund may be required to reduce the amount of leverage employed, alter the composition of the Fund’s investment portfolio or take other actions at what might be inopportune times in the market. Such actions could reduce the net earnings or returns to stockholders over time, which is likely to result in a decrease in the market value of the Fund’s shares.
Certain securities in which the Fund invests, including floating rate loans, once sold, may not settle for an extended period (for example, several weeks or even longer). The Fund will not receive its sale proceeds until that time, which may constrain the Fund’s ability to meet its obligations.
The Fund may invest in insurance-linked securities. The return of principal and the payment of interest and/or dividends on insurance-linked securities are contingent on the non-occurrence of a predefined “trigger” event,  such as a hurricane or an earthquake of a specific magnitude.
These risks may increase share price volatility.
Any information in this stockholder report regarding market or economic trends or the factors influencing the Fund’s historical or future performance are statements of opinion as of the date of this report. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Performance Update  |  10/31/24
When NAV is lower than market price, dividends are assumed to be reinvested at the greater of NAV or 95% of the market price. When NAV is higher, dividends are assumed to be reinvested at prices obtained through open-market purchases under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan.
The performance table and graph do not reflect the deduction of fees and taxes that a stockholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Had these fees and taxes been reflected, performance would have been lower.
The ICE BofA GHY/CCC & G Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of the below-and border-line investment-grade global debt markets denominated in the major developed market currencies. The Index includes sovereign issuers rated BBB1 and lower along with corporate issues rated BB1 and lower. There are no restrictions on issuer country of domicile. The Morningstar/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index provides broad and comprehensive total return metrics of the U.S. universe of syndicated term loans.
Index returns are calculated monthly, assume reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges.
The indices do not use leverage. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Pioneer Diversified High Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is organized as a Maryland corporation. Prior to April 21, 2021, the Fund was organized as a Delaware statutory trust. On April 21, 2021, the Fund redomiciled to a Maryland corporation through a statutory merger of the predecessor Delaware statutory trust with and into a newly-established Maryland corporation formed for the purpose of effecting the redomiciling. The Fund was originally organized on January 30, 2007. Prior to commencing operations on May 30, 2007, the Fund had no operations other than matters relating to its organization and registration as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The investment objective of the Fund is to seek a high level of current income and the Fund may, as a secondary objective, also seek capital appreciation to the extent that it is consistent with its investment objective.
Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Amundi and Amundi’s wholly owned subsidiary, Amundi USA, Inc., serves as the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”).
The Fund is required to comply with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which governs the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 permits funds to enter into derivatives transactions (as defined in Rule 18f-4) and certain other transactions notwithstanding the restrictions on the issuance of “senior securities” under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. Rule 18f-4 requires a fund to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, appoint a derivatives risk manager and comply with a relative or absolute limit on fund leverage risk calculated based on value-at-risk (“VaR”), unless the fund uses derivatives in only a limited manner (a “limited derivatives user”). The Fund is currently a limited derivatives user for purposes of Rule 18f-4.
The Fund is an investment company and follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). U.S. GAAP requires the management of the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income, expenses and gain or loss on investments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:
A.
Security Valuation
  The net asset value of the Fund is computed once daily, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE.
  Fixed income securities are valued by using prices supplied by independent pricing services, which consider such factors as market prices, market events, quotations from one or more brokers, Treasury spreads, yields, maturities and ratings, or may use a pricing matrix or other fair value methods or techniques to provide an estimated value of the security or instrument. A pricing matrix is a means of valuing a debt security on the basis of current market prices for other debt securities, historical trading patterns in the market for fixed income securities and/or other factors. Non-U.S. debt securities that are listed on an exchange will be valued at the bid price obtained from an independent third party pricing service. When independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices, or when prices or market quotations are considered to be unreliable, the value of that security may be determined using quotations from one or more broker-dealers.
  Loan interests are valued at the mean between the last available bid and asked prices from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from Loan Pricing Corporation, an independent third party pricing service. If price information is not available from Loan Pricing Corporation, or if the price information is deemed to be unreliable, price information will be obtained from an alternative loan interest pricing service. If no reliable price quotes are available from either the primary or alternative pricing service, broker quotes will be solicited.
  Event-linked bonds are valued at the bid price obtained from an independent third party pricing service. Other insurance-linked securities (including reinsurance sidecars, collateralized reinsurance and industry loss warranties) may be valued at the bid price obtained from an independent pricing service, or through a third party using a pricing matrix, insurance valuation models, or other fair value methods or techniques to provide an estimated value of the instrument.
  Equity securities that have traded on an exchange are valued by using the last sale price on the principal exchange where they are traded. Equity securities that have not traded on the date of valuation, or securities for which sale prices are not available, generally are valued using the mean between the last bid and asked prices or, if both last bid

  and asked prices are not available, at the last quoted bid price. Last sale and bid and asked prices are provided by independent third party pricing services. In the case of equity securities not traded on an exchange, prices are typically determined by independent third party pricing services using a variety of techniques and methods.
  The value of foreign securities is translated into U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing source. Trading in non-U.S. equity securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund’s shares are determined as of such times. The Adviser may use a fair value model developed by an independent pricing service to value non-U.S. equity securities.
  Options contracts are generally valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices on the principal exchange where they are traded. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options and options on swaps (“swaptions”) are valued using prices supplied by independent pricing services, which consider such factors as market prices, market events, quotations from one or more brokers, Treasury spreads, yields, maturities and ratings, or may use a pricing matrix or other fair value methods or techniques to provide an estimated value of the security or instrument.
  Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily using the foreign exchange rate or, for longer term forward contract positions, the spot currency rate and the forward points on a daily basis, in each case provided by a third party pricing service. Contracts whose forward settlement date falls between two quoted days are valued by interpolation.
  Swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, caps and floors (other than centrally cleared swap contracts), are valued at the dealer quotations obtained from reputable International Swap Dealers Association members. Centrally cleared swaps are valued at the daily settlement price provided by the central clearing counterparty.
  Shares of open-end registered investment companies (including money market mutual funds) are valued at such funds’ net asset value.  Shares of exchange-listed closed-end funds are valued by using the last sale price on the principal exchange where they are traded.
  Securities or loan interests for which independent pricing services or broker-dealers are unable to supply prices or for which market prices and/or quotations are not readily available or are considered to be unreliable are valued by a fair valuation team comprised of certain
52

  personnel of the Adviser. The Adviser is designated as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Adviser’s fair valuation team is responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair valued securities.
  Inputs used when applying fair value methods to value a security may include credit ratings, the financial condition of the company, current market conditions and comparable securities. The Adviser may use fair value methods if it is determined that a significant event has occurred after the close of the exchange or market on which the security trades and prior to the determination of the Fund's net asset value. Examples of a significant event might include political or economic news, corporate restructurings, natural disasters, terrorist activity or trading halts. Thus, the valuation of the Fund's securities may differ significantly from exchange prices, and such differences could be material.
B.
Investment Income and Transactions
  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund becomes aware of the ex-dividend data in the exercise of reasonable diligence.
  Interest income, including interest on income-bearing cash accounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend and interest income are reported net of unrecoverable foreign taxes withheld at the applicable country rates and net of income accrued on defaulted securities.
  Interest and dividend income payable by delivery of additional shares is reclassified as PIK (payment-in-kind) income upon receipt and is included in interest and dividend income, respectively.
  Principal amounts of mortgage-backed securities are adjusted for monthly paydowns. Premiums and discounts related to certain mortgage-backed securities are amortized or accreted in proportion to the monthly paydowns. All discounts/premiums on purchase prices of debt securities are accreted/amortized for financial reporting purposes over the life of the respective securities, and such accretion/amortization is included in interest income.
  Security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost method for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.

C.
Foreign Currency Translation
  The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates.
  Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, if any, represent, among other things, the net realized gains and losses on foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income accrued and the U.S. dollars actually received. Further, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated on the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in the market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
D.
Federal Income Taxes
  It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its stockholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2024, the Fund did not accrue any interest or penalties with respect to uncertain tax positions, which, if applicable, would be recorded as an income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. Tax returns filed within the prior three years remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities.
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to stockholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary over distributions for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or classification of income or distributions for financial statement and tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character, but are not adjusted for temporary differences.
  The tax character of current year distributions payable will be determined at the end of the current taxable year. The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended April 30, 2024 was as follows:
 
2024
Distributions paid from:

The following shows the components of distributable earnings (losses) on a federal income tax basis at April 30, 2024:
 
2024
Distributable earnings/(losses):

Capital loss carryforward (60,930,393)
Net unrealized depreciation (7,100,254)
Total
$(66,233,693)
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized depreciation is primarily attributable to the mark to market on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies, the book/tax differences in the accrual of income on securities in default, trust preferred securities, adjustments relating to insurance-linked securities, perpetual bonds, and the premium amortization on callable bonds.
E.
Risks
  The value of securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inflation, changes in interest rates, armed conflict such as between Russia and Ukraine or in the Middle East, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Inflation and interest rates may increase. These circumstances could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
  Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced or may experience particularly large losses. Periods of extreme volatility in the financial markets, reduced liquidity of many instruments, increased government debt, inflation, and disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability, may continue for some time. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, geopolitical or other events or conditions.

  Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time.
  The U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the U.S. has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. If the political climate between the U.S. and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China were to attempt unification of Taiwan by force, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund’s assets may go down.
  At times, the Fund’s investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, making the Fund more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors.
  The market prices of the Fund’s fixed income securities may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. The value of your investment will generally go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. For example, if interest rates increase by 1%, the value of a Fund’s portfolio with a portfolio duration of ten years would be expected to decrease by 10%, all other things being equal. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income securities. The maturity of a security may be significantly longer than its effective duration. A security’s maturity and other features may be more relevant than its effective duration in determining the security’s sensitivity to other factors affecting the issuer or markets generally, such as changes in credit quality or in the yield premium that the market may establish for certain types of securities (sometimes called “credit spread”). In general, the longer its maturity the more a security may be susceptible to these factors. When the credit spread for a fixed income security goes up, or “widens”, the value of the security will generally go
down.

  If an issuer or guarantor of a security held by the Fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the Fund defaults on its obligation to pay principal and/or interest, has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. Changes in actual or perceived creditworthiness may occur quickly. The Fund could be delayed or hindered in its enforcement of rights against an issuer, guarantor or counterparty.
  The Fund invests in below-investment grade (“high yield”) debt securities, floating rate loans and insurance-linked securities. The Fund may invest in securities and other obligations of any credit quality, including those that are rated below investment grade, or are unrated but are determined by the Adviser to be of equivalent credit quality. Below investment grade securities are commonly referred to as “junk bonds” and are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Below investment grade securities, including floating rate loans, involve greater risk of loss, are subject to greater price volatility, and may be less liquid and more difficult to value, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or change, than higher rated debt securities.
  Certain securities in which the Fund invests, including floating rate loans, once sold, may not settle for an extended period (for example, several weeks or even longer). The Fund will not receive its sale proceeds until that time, which may constrain the Fund’s ability to meet its obligations. The Fund may invest in securities of issuers that are in default or that are in bankruptcy. The value of collateral, if any, securing a floating rate loan can decline or may be insufficient to meet the issuer’s obligations or may be difficult to liquidate. No active trading market may exist for many floating rate loans, and many loans are subject to restrictions on resale. Any secondary market may be subject to irregular trading activity and extended settlement periods. There is less readily available, reliable information about most floating rate loans than is the case for many other types of securities. Normally, the Adviser will seek to avoid receiving material, nonpublic information about the issuer of a loan either held by, or considered for investment by, the Fund, and this decision could adversely affect the Fund’s investment performance. Loans may not be considered “securities,” and purchasers, such as the Fund, therefore may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections afforded by federal securities laws.
  The Fund invest in insurance-linked securities (“ILS”). ILS may include event-linked bonds (also known as insurance-linked bonds or catastrophe bonds), quota share instruments (also known as

  “reinsurance sidecars”), collateralized reinsurance investments, industry loss warranties, event-linked swaps, securities of companies in the insurance or reinsurance industries, and other insurance and reinsurance-related securities. The Fund could lose a portion or all of the principal it has invested in an ILS, and the right to additional interest or dividend payments with respect to the security, upon the occurrence of one or more trigger events, as defined within the terms of an insurance-linked security. ILS carry significant risk. See note 1.G.
  The Fund may invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities. The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Mortgage-backed securities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rate than other types of debt securities. These securities are also subject to prepayment and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets and are thus subject to the risk of default. The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage-backed investments offered by non-governmental issuers and those that include so-called “sub-prime” mortgages. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than for other types of debt securities. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events or defaults, the Fund may become the holder of underlying assets at a time when those assets may be difficult to sell or may be sold only at a loss.
  The Fund may invest in credit risk transfer securities. Credit risk transfer securities are unguaranteed and unsecured debt securities issued by government sponsored enterprises and therefore are not directly linked to or backed by the underlying mortgage loans. As a result, in the event that a government sponsored enterprise fails to pay principal or interest on its credit risk transfer securities or goes through a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, holders of such credit risk transfer securities have no direct recourse to the underlying mortgage loans and will generally receive recovery on par with other unsecured note holders in such a scenario. The risks associated with an investment in credit risk transfer securities are different than the risks associated with an investment in mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or other government sponsored enterprise or issued by a private issuer, because some or all of the mortgage default or credit risk associated with the underlying mortgage loans is transferred to
58

 | 
10/31/24

  investors. As a result, investors in these securities could lose some or all of their investment in these securities if the underlying mortgage loans default.
  The Fund’s investments in foreign markets and countries with limited developing markets may subject the Fund to a greater degree of risk than investments in a developed market. These risks include disruptive political or economic conditions, military conflicts and sanctions, terrorism, sustained economic downturns, financial instability, less liquid trading markets, extreme price volatility, currency risks, reduction of government or central bank support, inadequate accounting standards, tariffs, tax disputes or other tax burdens, nationalization or expropriation of assets and the imposition of adverse governmental laws, arbitrary application of laws and regulations or lack of rule of law and investment and repatriation restrictions. Lack of information and less market regulation also may affect the value of these securities. Withholding and other non-U.S. taxes may decrease the Fund’s return. Non-U.S. issuers may be located in parts of the world that have historically been prone to natural disasters. Investing in depositary receipts is subject to many of the same risks as investing directly in non-U.S. issuers. Depositary receipts may involve higher expenses and may trade at a discount (or premium) to the underlying security.
  Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In response to the military action by Russia, various countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, and European Union issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Since then, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have been adversely affected. The United States and other countries may impose sanctions on other countries, companies and individuals in light of Russia’s military invasion. The extent and duration of the military action or future escalation of such hostilities, the extent and impact of existing and future sanctions, market disruptions and volatility, and the result of any diplomatic negotiations cannot be predicted. These and any related events could have a significant impact on the value and liquidity of certain Fund investments, on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, particularly with respect to securities and commodities, such as oil, natural gas and food commodities, as well as other sectors with exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other countries affected by the invasion, and are likely to have collateral impacts on market sectors globally.
  The Fund may invest a significant amount of its total assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities are securities that the Fund reasonably

  expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the securities.
  The Fund may invest in REIT securities, the value of which can fall for a variety of reasons, such as declines in rental income, fluctuating interest rates, poor property management, environmental liabilities, uninsured damage, increased competition, or changes in real estate tax laws.
  With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. While the Fund’s Adviser has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, limit or mitigate, such cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers to the Fund such as the Fund’s custodian and accounting agent, and the Fund’s transfer agent. In addition, many beneficial owners of Fund shares hold them through accounts at broker-dealers, retirement platforms and other financial market participants over which neither the Fund nor the Adviser exercises control. Each of these may in turn rely on service providers to them, which are also subject to the risk of cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity failures or breaches at the Adviser or the Fund’s service providers or intermediaries have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund stockholders to effect share purchases or sales or receive distributions, loss of or unauthorized access to private stockholder information and violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, or additional compliance costs. Such costs and losses may not be covered under any insurance. In addition, maintaining vigilance against cyber-attacks may involve substantial costs over time, and system enhancements may themselves be subject to cyber-attacks.

price may be difficult to achieve. Restricted investments held by the Fund at October 31, 2024 are listed in the Schedule of Investments.
G.
Insurance-Linked Securities (“ILS”)
  The Fund invests in ILS. The Fund could lose a portion or all of the principal it has invested in an ILS, and the right to additional interest or dividend payments with respect to the security, upon the occurrence of one or more trigger events, as defined within the terms of an insurance-linked security. Trigger events, generally, are hurricanes, earthquakes, or other natural events of a specific size or magnitude that occur in a designated geographic region during a specified time period, and/or that involve losses or other metrics that exceed a specific amount. There is no way to accurately predict whether a trigger event will occur, and accordingly, ILS carry significant risk. The Fund is entitled to receive principal, and interest and/or dividend payments so long as no trigger event occurs of the description and magnitude specified by the instrument. In addition to the specified trigger events, ILS may expose the Fund to other risks, including but not limited to issuer (credit) default, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations and adverse tax consequences.
  The Fund’s investments in ILS may include event-linked bonds. ILS also may include special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”) or similar instruments structured to comprise a portion of a reinsurer’s catastrophe-oriented business, known as quota share instruments (sometimes referred to as reinsurance sidecars), or to provide reinsurance relating to specific risks to insurance or reinsurance companies through a collateralized instrument, known as collateralized reinsurance. Structured reinsurance investments also may include industry loss warranties (“ILWs”). A traditional ILW takes the form of a bilateral reinsurance contract, but there are also products that take the form of derivatives, collateralized structures, or exchange-traded instruments.   
  Where the ILS are based on the performance of underlying reinsurance contracts, the Fund has limited transparency into the individual underlying contracts, and therefore must rely upon the risk assessment and sound underwriting practices of the issuer. Accordingly, it may be more difficult for the Adviser to fully evaluate the underlying risk profile of the Fund’s structured reinsurance investments, and therefore the Fund’s assets are placed at greater risk of loss than if the Adviser had more complete information. Structured reinsurance instruments generally will be considered illiquid securities by the Fund. These

  securities may be difficult to purchase, sell or unwind. Illiquid securities also may be difficult to value. If the Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset, the Fund may be forced to sell at a loss.
H.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
  The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. All contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable exchange rates, and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund records realized gains and losses at the time a contract is offset by entry into a closing transaction or extinguished by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (see Note 5).
  During the six months ended October 31, 2024, the Fund had entered into various forward foreign currency exchange contracts that obligated the Fund to deliver or take delivery of currencies at specified future maturity dates. Alternatively, prior to the settlement date of a forward foreign currency exchange contract, the Fund may close out such contract by entering into an offsetting contract.
  The average market value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts open during the six months ended October 31, 2024, was $2,769,994 and $6,164,052 for buys and sells, respectively. Open forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at October 31, 2024 are listed in the Schedule of Investments.
I.
Futures Contracts
  The Fund may enter into futures transactions in order to attempt to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices and currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are types of derivatives.
  All futures contracts entered into by the Fund are traded on a futures exchange. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the associated futures exchange. The amount of cash deposited with the broker as collateral at October 31, 2024 is recorded as “Futures collateral” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
62
Pioneer Diversified High Income Fund, Inc. | 
Semiannual Report
 | 
10/31/24

  Subsequent payments for futures contracts (“variation margin”) are paid or received by the Fund, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts, and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Cash received from or paid to the broker related to previous margin movement is held in a segregated account at the broker and is recorded as either “Due from broker for futures” or “Due to broker for futures” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract as well as any fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates where applicable. Futures contracts are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and currency exchange rate risk. Changes in value of the contracts may not directly correlate to the changes in value of the underlying securities. With futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
  The average notional values of long position and short position futures contracts during the six months ended October 31, 2024 were $514,344 and $0, respectively. Open futures contracts outstanding at October 31, 2024 are listed in the Schedule of Investments.
J.
Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan
  All stockholders whose shares are registered in their own names automatically participate in the Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), under which participants receive all dividends and capital gain distributions (collectively, dividends) in full and fractional shares of the Fund in lieu of cash. Stockholders may elect not to participate in the Plan. Stockholders not participating in the Plan receive all dividends and capital gain distributions in cash. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notifying Equiniti Trust Company, the agent for stockholders in administering the Plan (the “Plan Agent”), in writing prior to any dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution.
  If a stockholder’s shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, the stockholder can ask the firm or nominee to participate in the Plan on the stockholder’s behalf. If the firm or nominee does not offer the Plan, dividends will be paid in cash to the

63

  stockholder of record. A firm or nominee may reinvest a stockholder’s cash dividends in shares of the Fund on terms that differ from the terms of the Plan.
  Whenever the Fund declares a dividend on shares payable in cash, participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in shares acquired by the Plan Agent either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized shares from the Fund or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any dividend, the net asset value per share is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage trading fees (market premium), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the net asset value per share on the date the shares are issued, provided that the maximum discount from the then current market price per share on the date of issuance does not exceed 5%. If, on the payment date for any dividend, the net asset value per share is greater than the market value (market discount), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired in open-market purchases. There are no brokerage charges with respect to newly issued shares. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage trading fees incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open-market purchases. Participating in the Plan does not relieve stockholders from any federal, state or local taxes which may be due on dividends paid in any taxable year. Stockholders holding Plan shares in a brokerage account may be able to transfer the shares to another broker and continue to participate in the Plan.
K.
Statement of Cash Flows
  Information on financial transactions which have been settled through the receipt or disbursement of cash or restricted cash is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. Cash as presented in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities includes cash on hand at the Fund’s custodian bank and does not include any short-term investments. For the six months ended October 31, 2024, the Fund had restricted cash in the form of futures collateral on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
2. Management Agreement
The Adviser manages the Fund’s portfolio. Management fees payable under the Fund’s Investment Management Agreement with the Adviser are calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily managed assets. “Managed assets” means (a) the total assets of the Fund, including any form of investment leverage, minus
64
Pioneer Diversified High Income Fund, Inc. | 
Semiannual Report
 | 
10/31/24

(b) all accrued liabilities incurred in the normal course of operations, which shall not include any liabilities or obligations attributable to investment leverage obtained through (i) indebtedness of any type (including, without limitation, borrowing through a credit facility or the issuance of debt securities), (ii) the issuance of preferred stock or other similar preference securities, and/or (iii) any other means. For the six months ended October 31, 2024, the management fee was 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily managed assets, which was equivalent to 1.19% (annualized) of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
In addition, under the management and administration agreements, certain other services and costs, including accounting, regulatory reporting and insurance premiums, are paid by the Fund as administrative reimbursements. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $10,597 in management fees payable to the Adviser at October 31, 2024.
3. Compensation of Officers and Directors
The Fund pays an annual fee to its Directors. The Adviser reimburses the Fund for fees paid to the Interested Directors. Except for the chief compliance officer, the Fund does not pay any salary or other compensation to its officers. The Fund pays a portion of the chief compliance officer’s compensation for his services as the Fund’s chief compliance officer. Amundi US pays the remaining portion of the chief compliance officer’s compensation. For the six months ended October 31, 2024, the Fund paid $4,487 in Officers’ and Directors’ compensation, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Officers’ and Directors’ fees. At October 31, 2024, on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Fund had a payable for Directors’ fees of $756 and a payable for administrative expenses of $10,987, which includes the payable for Officers’ compensation.
4. Transfer Agent
Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (“EQ”), formerly known as American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, serves as the transfer agent with respect to the Fund’s common shares. The Fund pays EQ an annual fee as is agreed to from time to time by the Fund and EQ for providing such services.
In addition, the Fund reimbursed the transfer agent for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the transfer agent related to stockholder communications activities such as proxy and statement mailings and outgoing phone calls.
5. Master Netting Agreements
The Fund has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar

65

agreement with substantially all of its derivative counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs the trading of certain Over the Counter (“OTC”) derivatives and typically contains, among other things, close-out and set- off provisions which apply upon the occurrence of an event of default and/or a termination event as defined under the relevant ISDA Master Agreement. The ISDA Master Agreement may also give a party the right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement if, among other things, there is deterioration in the credit quality of the other party.
Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA Master Agreement, the non-defaulting party has the right to close-out all transactions under such agreement and to net amounts owed under each transaction to determine one net amount payable by one party to the other. The right to close out and net payments across all transactions under the ISDA Master Agreement could result in a reduction of the Fund’s credit risk to its counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the Fund under the applicable transactions, if any. However, the Fund’s right to set-off may be restricted or prohibited by the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the particular jurisdiction to which each specific ISDA Master Agreement of each counterparty is subject.
The collateral requirements for derivatives transactions under an ISDA Master Agreement are governed by a credit support annex to the ISDA Master Agreement. Collateral requirements are generally determined at the close of business each day and are typically based on changes in market values for each transaction under an ISDA Master Agreement and netted into one amount for such agreement. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty is subject to threshold (a “minimum transfer amount”) before a transfer is required, which may vary by counterparty. Collateral pledged for the benefit of the Fund and/or counterparty is held in segregated accounts by the Fund’s custodian and cannot be sold, re- pledged, assigned or otherwise used while pledged. Cash that has been segregated to cover the Fund’s collateral obligations, if any, will be reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Swaps collateral”. Securities pledged by the Fund as collateral, if any, are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments.

At October 31, 2024, the Fund had a borrowing outstanding under the Credit Agreement totaling $43,325,000. The interest rate charged at October 31, 2024 was 5.98%. During the six months ended October 31, 2024, the average daily balance was $43,026,087 at an average interest rate of 6.54%.
Interest expense of $1,437,205 in connection with the Credit Agreement is included on the Statement of Operations.

loans and senior securities, from the Fund’s total assets and dividing such amount by the principal amount of the borrowing outstanding.

9. Unfunded Loan Commitments
The Fund may enter into unfunded loan commitments. Unfunded loan commitments may be partially or wholly unfunded. During the contractual period, the Fund is obliged to provide funding to the borrower upon demand. A fee is earned by the Fund on the unfunded loan commitment and is recorded as interest income on the Statement of Operations. Unfunded loan commitments are fair valued in accordance with the valuation policy described in Note 1A and unrealized appreciation or depreciation, if any, is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

10. Definitive Agreement
The Fund’s Adviser is currently an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Amundi. On July 9, 2024, Amundi announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. (“Victory Capital”) to combine the Adviser with Victory Capital, and for Amundi to become a strategic shareholder of Victory Capital (the “Transaction”). Victory Capital is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. The closing of the Transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and other conditions. There is no assurance that the Transaction will close.
The closing of the Transaction would cause the Fund’s current investment advisory agreement with the Adviser to terminate. Under the terms of the Transaction, the Fund’s Board of Trustees will be asked to approve a reorganization of the Fund into a corresponding, newly established Victory Fund advised by Victory Capital Management Inc., an affiliate of Victory Capital. The proposed reorganization of the Fund would be sought in connection with the closing of the Transaction. If approved by the Board, the proposal to reorganize the Fund will be submitted to the stockholders of the Fund for their approval. There is no assurance that the Board or the stockholders of the Fund will approve the proposal to reorganize the Fund.

Anti-takeover provisions.
The Fund's Charter and Bylaws include provisions that are designed to limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund for short-term objectives, including by converting the Fund to open-end status or changing the composition of the Board, that may be detrimental to the Fund's ability to achieve its primary investment objective of seeking to provide its common stockholders with a high level of current income. These provisions include staggered terms of service for the Directors, advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals, and super-majority voting requirements for certain transactions with affiliates, open-ending the Fund or a merger, liquidation, asset sale or similar transaction. The Fund's Bylaws also contain a provision providing that the Board of Directors has adopted a resolution to opt in the Fund to the provisions of the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act ("MCSAA"). Such provisions may limit the ability of stockholders to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by discouraging a third party from seeking to obtain control of the Fund. There can be no assurance, that the MCSAA will be enforceable with respect to the Fund.

Exclusive forum provisions.  The Fund's Bylaws designate the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by the Fund's stockholders and provide that claims relating to causes of action under the United States federal securities laws may only be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division, which could limit stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with the Fund or its directors, officers or the Fund's agents, if any, and could discourage lawsuits against the Fund and its directors, officers and agents, if any.
The Fund's Bylaws provide that, unless the Fund consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any Internal Corporate Claim, as such term is defined in the MGCL, (b) any derivative action or proceeding brought on the Fund's behalf (other than actions arising under federal securities laws), (c) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any of the Fund's directors, officers or other agents to the Fund or to the Fund's stockholders, (d) any action asserting a claim against the Fund or any of the Fund's directors, officers or other agents arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL or the Fund's Charter or Bylaws or (e) any other action asserting a claim against the Fund or any of the Fund's directors, officers or other agents that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Furthermore, the Fund's Bylaws provide that, unless the Fund consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any claim arising under the United States federal securities laws.
These exclusive forum provisions may limit the ability of the Fund's stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholders find favorable for disputes with the Fund or the Fund's directors, officers, or agents, if any, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Fund and the Fund's directors, officers, and agents, if any. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provisions contained in the Fund's Bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Fund may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could materially adversely affect the Fund's business, financial condition, and operating results.

Approval of Renewal of Investment Management Agreement
Amundi Pioneer Asset Management, Inc. (“Amundi US”) serves as the investment adviser to Pioneer Diversified High Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) pursuant to an investment management agreement between Amundi US and the Fund. In order for Amundi US to remain the investment adviser of the Fund, the Directors of the Fund, including a majority of the Fund’s Independent Directors, must determine annually whether to renew the investment management agreement for the Fund.
The contract review process began in January 2024 as the Directors of the Fund agreed on, among other things, an overall approach and timeline for the process.  Contract review materials were provided to the Directors in March 2024, July 2024 and September 2024.  In addition, the Directors reviewed and discussed the Fund’s performance at regularly scheduled meetings throughout the year, and took into account other information related to the Fund provided to the Directors at regularly scheduled meetings, in connection with the review of the Fund’s investment management agreement.
In March 2024, the Directors, among other things, discussed the memorandum provided by Fund counsel that summarized the legal standards and other considerations that are relevant to the Directors in their deliberations regarding the renewal of the investment management agreement, and reviewed and discussed the qualifications of the investment management teams for the Fund, as well as the level of investment by the Fund’s portfolio managers in the Fund.  In July 2024, the Directors, among other things, reviewed the Fund’s management fees and total expense ratios, the financial statements of Amundi US and its parent companies, profitability analyses provided by Amundi US, and analyses from Amundi US as to possible economies of scale.  The Directors also reviewed the profitability of the institutional business of Amundi US as compared to that of Amundi US’s fund management business, and considered the differences between the fees and expenses of the Fund and the fees and expenses of Amundi US’s institutional accounts, as well as the different services provided by Amundi US to the Fund and to the institutional accounts.  The Directors further considered contract review materials, including additional materials received in response to the Directors’ request, in September 2024.
At a meeting held on September 17, 2024, based on their evaluation of the information provided by Amundi US and third parties, the Directors of the Fund, including the Independent Directors voting separately advised by independent counsel, unanimously approved the renewal of the investment
74
Pioneer Diversified High Income Fund, Inc. | 
Semiannual Report
 | 
10/31/24

management agreement for another year.  In approving the renewal of the investment management agreement, the Directors considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below.  The Directors did not identify any single factor as the controlling factor in determining to approve the renewal of the agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. 
The Directors considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Fund, taking into account the investment objective and strategy of the Fund.  The Directors also reviewed Amundi US’s investment approach for the Fund and its research process.  The Directors considered the resources of Amundi US and the personnel of Amundi US who provide investment management services to the Fund. They also reviewed the amount of non-Fund assets managed by the portfolio managers of the Fund.  They considered the non-investment resources and personnel of Amundi US that are involved in Amundi US’s services to the Fund, including Amundi US’s compliance, risk management, and legal resources and personnel. The Directors considered the compliance services being provided to the Fund by Amundi US and how Amundi US has addressed any compliance issues during the past year. The Directors noted the substantial attention and high priority given by Amundi US’s senior management to the Pioneer Fund complex, including with respect to the increasing regulation to which the Pioneer Funds are subject.
The Directors considered that Amundi US supervises and monitors the performance of the Fund’s service providers and provides the Fund with personnel (including Fund officers) and other resources that are necessary for the Fund’s business management and operations.  The Directors also considered that, as administrator, Amundi US is responsible for the administration of the Fund’s business and other affairs.  The Directors considered that the Fund reimburses Amundi US its pro rata share of Amundi US’s costs of providing administration services to the Pioneer Funds.
Based on these considerations, the Directors concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Fund were satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the investment management agreement.
Performance of the Fund. 
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Directors regularly review and discuss throughout the year data prepared by Amundi US and information comparing the Fund’s performance with the performance of its peer group of funds, as classified by Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar), and with the
Pioneer Diversified High Income Fund, Inc. | 
Semiannual Report
 | 
10/31/24
75

performance of the Fund’s benchmark index.  The Directors also regularly consider the Fund’s returns at market value relative to its peers, as well as the discount at which the Fund’s shares may trade on the New York Stock Exchange compared to its net asset value per share.  They also discuss the Fund’s performance with Amundi US on a regular basis.  The Directors’ regular reviews and discussions were factored into the Directors’ deliberations concerning the renewal of the investment management agreement.
Management Fee and Expenses.
The Directors considered information showing the fees and expenses of the Fund in comparison to the management fees and expense ratios of a peer group of funds selected on the basis of criteria determined by the Independent Directors for this purpose using data provided by Strategic Insight Mutual Fund Research and Consulting, LLC (Strategic Insight), an independent third party.  The peer group comparisons referred to below are organized in quintiles.  Each quintile represents one-fifth of the peer group.  In all peer group comparisons referred to below, first quintile is most favorable to the Fund’s shareowners.
The Directors considered that the Fund’s management fee (based on managed assets) for the most recent fiscal year was in the third quintile relative to the management fees paid by other funds in its Strategic Insight peer group for the comparable period.  The Directors considered that the expense ratio (based on managed assets) of the Fund’s common shares for the most recent fiscal year was in the third quintile (both including and excluding investment-related expenses) relative to its Strategic Insight peer group for the comparable period.
The Directors reviewed management fees charged by Amundi US to institutional and other clients, including publicly offered European funds sponsored by Amundi US’s affiliates, unaffiliated U.S. registered investment companies (in a sub-advisory capacity), and unaffiliated foreign and domestic separate accounts.  The Directors also considered Amundi US’s costs in providing services to the Fund and Amundi US’s costs in providing services to the other clients and considered the differences in management fees and profit margins for fund and non-fund services.  In evaluating the fees associated with Amundi US’s client accounts, the Directors took into account the respective demands, resources and complexity associated with the Fund and other client accounts.  The Directors noted that, in some instances, the fee rates for those clients were lower than the management fee for the Fund and considered that, under the investment management and administration agreements with the Fund, Amundi US performs additional services for the Fund that it does not
76
Pioneer Diversified High Income Fund, Inc. | 
Semiannual Report
 | 
10/31/24

provide to those other clients or services that are broader in scope, including oversight of the Fund’s other service providers and activities related to compliance and the extensive regulatory and tax regimes to which the Fund is subject.  The Directors also considered the entrepreneurial risks associated with Amundi US’s management of the Fund.
The Directors concluded that the management fee payable by the Fund to Amundi US was reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by Amundi US.
Profitability. 
The Directors considered information provided by Amundi US regarding the profitability of Amundi US with respect to the advisory services provided by Amundi US to the Fund, including the methodology used by Amundi US in allocating certain of its costs to the management of the Fund.  The Directors also considered Amundi US’s profit margin in connection with the overall operation of the Fund.  They further reviewed the financial results, including the profit margins, realized by Amundi US from non-fund businesses.  The Directors considered Amundi US’s profit margins in comparison to the limited industry data available and noted that the profitability of any adviser was affected by numerous factors, including its organizational structure and method for allocating expenses.  The Directors concluded that Amundi US’s profitability with respect to the management of the Fund was not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale. 
The Directors considered the extent to which Amundi US may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Fund.  Since the Fund is a closed-end fund that has not raised additional capital, the Directors concluded that economies of scale were not a relevant consideration in the renewal of the investment advisory agreement.
Other Benefits. 
The Directors considered the other benefits that Amundi US enjoys from its relationship with the Fund.  The Directors considered the character and amount of fees paid or to be paid by the Fund, other than under the investment management agreement, for services provided by Amundi US and its affiliates.  The Directors further considered the revenues and profitability of Amundi US’s businesses other than the Fund business.  To the extent applicable, the Directors also considered the benefits to the Fund and to Amundi US and its affiliates from the use of “soft” commission dollars generated by the Fund to pay for research and brokerage services.
Pioneer Diversified High Income Fund, Inc. |

The Directors considered that Amundi US is the principal U.S. asset management business of Amundi, which is one of the largest asset managers globally.  Amundi’s worldwide asset management business manages over $2.1 trillion in assets (including the Pioneer Funds).  The Directors noted that Amundi US has access to additional research and portfolio management capabilities as a result of its relationship with Amundi and Amundi’s global presence.  The Directors considered that Amundi US and the Fund receive reciprocal intangible benefits from the relationship, including mutual brand recognition and, for the Fund, direct and indirect access to the resources of a large global asset manager.  The Directors concluded that any such benefits received by Amundi US as a result of its relationship with the Fund were reasonable.
Conclusion. 
After consideration of the factors described above as well as other factors, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the investment management agreement for the Fund, including the fees payable thereunder, was fair and reasonable and voted to approve the proposed renewal of the investment management agreement.

PIONEER FUNDS

APPROVAL OF AUDIT, AUDIT-RELATED, TAX AND OTHER SERVICES

PROVIDED BY THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

SECTION I—POLICY PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY

The Pioneer Funds recognize the importance of maintaining the independence of their outside auditors. Maintaining independence is a shared responsibility involving Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., the audit committee and the independent auditors.

The Funds recognize that a Fund’s independent auditors: 1) possess knowledge of the Funds, 2) are able to incorporate certain services into the scope of the audit, thereby avoiding redundant work, cost and disruption of Fund personnel and processes, and 3) have expertise that has value to the Funds. As a result, there are situations where it is desirable to use the Fund’s independent auditors for services in addition to the annual audit and where the potential for conflicts of interests are minimal. Consequently, this policy, which is intended to comply with Rule 210.2-01(C)(7), sets forth guidelines and procedures to be followed by the Funds when retaining the independent audit firm to perform audit, audit-related tax and other services under those circumstances, while also maintaining independence.


Approval of a service in accordance with this policy for a Fund shall also constitute approval for any other Fund whose pre-approval is required pursuant to Rule 210.2-01(c)(7)(ii).

In addition to the procedures set forth in this policy, any non-audit services that may be provided consistently with Rule 210.2-01 may be approved by the Audit Committee itself and any pre-approval that may be waived in accordance with Rule 210.2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) is hereby waived.

Selection of a Fund’s independent auditors and their compensation shall be determined by the Audit Committee and shall not be subject to this policy.

Item 11. STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT. (Unaudited)


Pioneer Diversified High Income Fund, Inc.

Approval of Renewal of Investment Management Agreement

Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. (“Amundi US”) serves as the investment adviser to Pioneer Diversified High Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) pursuant to an investment management agreement between Amundi US and the Fund. In order for Amundi US to remain the investment adviser of the Fund, the Directors of the Fund, including a majority of the Fund’s Independent Directors, must determine annually whether to renew the investment management agreement for the Fund.

The contract review process began in January 2024 as the Directors of the Fund agreed on, among other things, an overall approach and timeline for the process. Contract review materials were provided to the Directors in March 2024, July 2024 and September 2024. In addition, the Directors reviewed and discussed the Fund’s performance at regularly scheduled meetings throughout the year, and took into account other information related to the Fund provided to the Directors at regularly scheduled meetings, in connection with the review of the Fund’s investment management agreement.

In March 2024, the Directors, among other things, discussed the memorandum provided by Fund counsel that summarized the legal standards and other considerations that are relevant to the Directors in their deliberations regarding the renewal of the investment management agreement, and reviewed and discussed the qualifications of the investment management teams for the Fund, as well as the level of investment by the Fund’s portfolio managers in the Fund. In July 2024, the Directors, among other things, reviewed the Fund’s management fees and total expense ratios, the financial statements of Amundi US and its parent companies, profitability analyses provided by Amundi US, and analyses from Amundi US as to possible economies of scale. The Directors also reviewed the profitability of the institutional business of Amundi US as compared to that of Amundi US’s fund management business, and considered the differences between the fees and expenses of the Fund and the fees and expenses of Amundi US’s institutional accounts, as well as the different services provided by Amundi US to the Fund and to the institutional accounts. The Directors further considered contract review materials, including additional materials received in response to the Directors’ request, in September 2024.

At a meeting held on September 17, 2024, based on their evaluation of the information provided by Amundi US and third parties, the Directors of the Fund, including the Independent Directors voting separately advised by independent counsel, unanimously approved the renewal of the investment management agreement for another year. In approving the renewal of the investment management agreement, the Directors considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below. The Directors did not identify any single factor as the controlling factor in determining to approve the renewal of the agreement.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Directors considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Fund, taking into account the investment objective and strategy of the Fund. The Directors also reviewed Amundi US’s investment approach for the Fund and its research process. The Directors considered the resources of Amundi US and the personnel of Amundi US who provide investment management services to the Fund. They also reviewed the amount of non-Fund assets managed by the portfolio managers of the Fund. They considered the non-investment resources and personnel of Amundi US that are involved in Amundi US’s services to the Fund, including Amundi US’s compliance, risk management, and legal resources and personnel. The Directors considered the compliance services being provided to the Fund by Amundi US and how Amundi US has addressed any compliance issues during the past year. The Directors noted the substantial attention and high priority given by Amundi US’s senior management to the Pioneer Fund complex, including with respect to the increasing regulation to which the Pioneer Funds are subject.


The Directors considered that Amundi US supervises and monitors the performance of the Fund’s service providers and provides the Fund with personnel (including Fund officers) and other resources that are necessary for the Fund’s business management and operations. The Directors also considered that, as administrator, Amundi US is responsible for the administration of the Fund’s business and other affairs. The Directors considered that the Fund reimburses Amundi US its pro rata share of Amundi US’s costs of providing administration services to the Pioneer Funds.

Based on these considerations, the Directors concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Fund were satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the investment management agreement.

Performance of the Fund. In considering the Fund’s performance, the Directors regularly review and discuss throughout the year data prepared by Amundi US and information comparing the Fund’s performance with the performance of its peer group of funds, as classified by Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar), and with the performance of the Fund’s benchmark index. The Directors also regularly consider the Fund’s returns at market value relative to its peers, as well as the discount at which the Fund’s shares may trade on the New York Stock Exchange compared to its net asset value per share. They also discuss the Fund’s performance with Amundi US on a regular basis. The Directors’ regular reviews and discussions were factored into the Directors’ deliberations concerning the renewal of the investment management agreement.

Management Fee and Expenses. The Directors considered information showing the fees and expenses of the Fund in comparison to the management fees and expense ratios of a peer group of funds selected on the basis of criteria determined by the Independent Directors for this purpose using data provided by Strategic Insight Mutual Fund Research and Consulting, LLC (Strategic Insight), an independent third party. The peer group comparisons referred to below are organized in quintiles. Each quintile represents one-fifth of the peer group. In all peer group comparisons referred to below, first quintile is most favorable to the Fund’s shareowners.

The Directors considered that the Fund’s management fee (based on managed assets) for the most recent fiscal year was in the third quintile relative to the management fees paid by other funds in its Strategic Insight peer group for the comparable period. The Directors considered that the expense ratio (based on managed assets) of the Fund’s common shares for the most recent fiscal year was in the third quintile (both including and excluding investment-related expenses) relative to its Strategic Insight peer group for the comparable period.

The Directors reviewed management fees charged by Amundi US to institutional and other clients, including publicly offered European funds sponsored by Amundi US’s affiliates, unaffiliated U.S. registered investment companies (in a sub-advisory capacity), and unaffiliated foreign and domestic separate accounts. The Directors also considered Amundi US’s costs in providing services to the Fund and Amundi US’s costs in providing services to the other clients and considered the differences in management fees and profit margins for fund and non-fund services. In evaluating the fees associated with Amundi US’s client accounts, the Directors took into account the respective demands, resources and complexity associated with the Fund and


other client accounts. The Directors noted that, in some instances, the fee rates for those clients were lower than the management fee for the Fund and considered that, under the investment management and administration agreements with the Fund, Amundi US performs additional services for the Fund that it does not provide to those other clients or services that are broader in scope, including oversight of the Fund’s other service providers and activities related to compliance and the extensive regulatory and tax regimes to which the Fund is subject. The Directors also considered the entrepreneurial risks associated with Amundi US’s management of the Fund.

The Directors concluded that the management fee payable by the Fund to Amundi US was reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by Amundi US.

Profitability. The Directors considered information provided by Amundi US regarding the profitability of Amundi US with respect to the advisory services provided by Amundi US to the Fund, including the methodology used by Amundi US in allocating certain of its costs to the management of the Fund. The Directors also considered Amundi US’s profit margin in connection with the overall operation of the Fund. They further reviewed the financial results, including the profit margins, realized by Amundi US from non-fund businesses. The Directors considered Amundi US’s profit margins in comparison to the limited industry data available and noted that the profitability of any adviser was affected by numerous factors, including its organizational structure and method for allocating expenses. The Directors concluded that Amundi US’s profitability with respect to the management of the Fund was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale. The Directors considered the extent to which Amundi US may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Fund. Since the Fund is a closed-end fund that has not raised additional capital, the Directors concluded that economies of scale were not a relevant consideration in the renewal of the investment advisory agreement.

Other Benefits. The Directors considered the other benefits that Amundi US enjoys from its relationship with the Fund. The Directors considered the character and amount of fees paid or to be paid by the Fund, other than under the investment management agreement, for services provided by Amundi US and its affiliates. The Directors further considered the revenues and profitability of Amundi US’s businesses other than the Fund business. To the extent applicable, the Directors also considered the benefits to the Fund and to Amundi US and its affiliates from the use of “soft” commission dollars generated by the Fund to pay for research and brokerage services.

The Directors considered that Amundi US is the principal U.S. asset management business of Amundi, which is one of the largest asset managers globally. Amundi’s worldwide asset management business manages over $2.1 trillion in assets (including the Pioneer Funds). The Directors noted that Amundi US has access to additional research and portfolio management capabilities as a result of its relationship with Amundi and Amundi’s global presence. The Directors considered that Amundi US and the Fund receive reciprocal intangible benefits from the relationship, including mutual brand recognition and, for the Fund, direct and indirect access to the resources of a large global asset manager. The Directors concluded that any such benefits received by Amundi US as a result of its relationship with the Fund were reasonable.

Conclusion. After consideration of the factors described above as well as other factors, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the investment management agreement for the Fund, including the fees payable thereunder, was fair and reasonable and voted to approve the proposed renewal of the investment management agreement.

CODE OF ETHICS

FOR

SENIOR OFFICERS

POLICY

This Code of Ethics for Senior Officers (this “Code”) sets forth the policies, practices and values expected to be exhibited by Senior Officers of the Pioneer Funds (collectively, the “Funds” and each, a “Fund”). This Code does not apply generally to officers and employees of service providers to the Funds, including Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., and Amundi Distributor US, Inc. (collectively, “Amundi US”), unless such officers and employees are also Senior Officers.

The term “Senior Officers” shall mean the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and controller of the Funds, although one person may occupy more than one such office. Each Senior Officer is identified by title in Exhibit A to this Code.

The Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) of the Pioneer Funds is primarily responsible for implementing and monitoring compliance with this Code, subject to the overall supervision of the Board of Directors of the Funds (the “Board”). The CCO has the authority to interpret this Code and its applicability to particular situations. Any questions about this Code should be directed to the CCO or his or her designee.

PURPOSE

The purposes of this Code are to:

 

   

Promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

   

Promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Fund files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Fund;

 

 

   1    Last revised January 2021


   

Promote compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

 

   

Promote the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

 

   

Establish accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Senior Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF SENIOR OFFICERS

Conflicts of Interest

A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Senior Officer’s private interests interfere in any way – or even appear to interfere – with the interests of or his/her service to a Fund. A conflict can arise when a Senior Officer takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her Fund work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest also arise when a Senior Officer or a member of his/her family receives improper personal benefits as a result of the Senior Officer’s position with the Fund.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Senior Officers and the Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “ICA”), and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “IAA”). For example, Senior Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Funds because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Funds. The Fund’s and Amundi US’ compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace such policies and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise as a result of the contractual relationship between the Fund and Amundi US because the Senior Officers are officers or employees of both. As a result, this Code recognizes that Senior Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for a Fund or for Amundi US, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on Amundi US and the Fund. The participation of Senior Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between a Fund and Amundi US and is consistent with the performance by the Senior Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund and, if addressed in conformity with the provisions of the ICA and the IAA, will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Board that Senior Officers may also be officers of investment companies other than the Pioneer Funds.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by this Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions of the ICA or the IAA. In reading the following examples of conflicts of interest under this Code, Senior Officers should keep in mind that such a list cannot ever be exhaustive or cover every possible scenario. It follows that the overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Senior Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of a Fund.

 

 

   2    Last revised January 2021


Each Senior Officer must:

 

   

Not use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by a Fund whereby the Senior Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund;

 

   

Not cause a Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Senior Officer rather than the benefit of the Fund; and

 

   

Report at least annually any affiliations or other relationships that give rise to conflicts of interest.

Any material conflict of interest situation should be approved by the CCO, his or her designee or the Board. Examples of these include:

 

   

Service as a director on the board of any public or private company;

 

   

The receipt of any gift with a value in excess of an amount established from time to time by Amundi US’ Business Gift and Entertainment Policy from any single non-relative person or entity. Customary business lunches, dinners and entertainment at which both the Senior Officer and the giver are present, and promotional items of insignificant value are exempt from this prohibition;

 

   

The receipt of any entertainment from any company with which a Fund has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

 

   

Any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of a Fund’s service providers other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person thereof; and

 

   

A direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by a Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Senior Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

Corporate Opportunities

Senior Officers may not (a) take for themselves personally opportunities that are discovered through the use of a Fund’s property, information or position; (b) use a Fund’s property, information, or position for personal gain; or (c) compete with a Fund. Senior Officers owe a duty to the Funds to advance their legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises.

Confidentiality

Senior Officers should maintain the confidentiality of information entrusted to them by the Funds, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Funds, if disclosed.

Fair dealing with Fund shareholders, suppliers, and competitors

Senior Officers should endeavor to deal fairly with the Funds’ shareholders, suppliers, and competitors. Senior Officers should not take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair-dealing practice. Senior Officers should not knowingly misrepresent or cause others to misrepresent facts about a Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Board, the Funds’ auditors or to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

Compliance with Law

Each Senior Officer must not knowingly violate any law, rule and regulation applicable to his or her activities as an officer of the Funds. In addition, Senior Officers are responsible for understanding and promoting compliance with the laws, rules and regulations applicable to his or her particular position and by persons under the Senior Officer’s supervision. Senior Officers should endeavor to comply not only with the letter of the law, but also with the spirit of the law.

Disclosure

Each Senior Officer should familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Funds. Each Senior Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers of the Funds and Amundi US with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents a Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds.

INITIAL AND ANNUAL CERTIFICATIONS

Upon becoming a Senior Officer the Senior Officer is required to certify that he or she has received, read, and understands this Code. On an annual basis, each Senior Officer must certify that he or she has complied with all of the applicable requirements of this Code.

ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE CODE

Report of Violations

Amundi US relies on each Senior Officer to report promptly if he or she knows of any conduct by a Senior Officer in violation of this Code. All violations or suspected violations of this Code must be reported to the CCO or a member of Amundi US’ Legal and Compliance Department. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

 

 

   4    Last revised January 2021


Investigation of Violations

Upon notification of a violation or suspected violation, the CCO or other members of Amundi US’ Compliance Department will take all appropriate action to investigate the potential violation reported. If, after such investigation, the CCO believes that no violation has occurred, the CCO and Compliance Department is not required to take no further action. Any matter the CCO believes is a violation will be reported to the Independent Directors. If the Independent Directors concur that a violation has occurred, they will inform and make a recommendation to the full Board. The Board shall be responsible for determining appropriate action. The Funds, their officers and employees, will not retaliate against any Senior Officer for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith and without malicious intent.

The CCO or his or her designee is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. The CCO or his or her designee shall make inquiries regarding any potential conflict of interest.

Violations and Sanctions

Compliance with this Code is expected and violations of its provisions will be taken seriously and could result in disciplinary action. In response to violations of the Code, the Board may impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate within the scope of its authority over Senior Officers, including termination as an officer of the Funds.

Waivers from the Code

The Independent Directors will consider any approval or waiver sought by any Senior Officer.

The Independent Directors will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate. Any change to or waiver of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

OTHER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

This Code shall be the sole Code of Ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. The Funds’ and Amundi US’ Codes of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the ICA and Rule 204A-1 of the IAA are separate requirements applying to the Senior Officers and others, and are not a part of this Code. To the extent any other policies and procedures of the Funds or Amundi US overlap or conflict with the provisions of the Code, they are superseded by this Code.

SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITIES

A Senior Officer’s responsibilities under this Code are limited to Fund matters over which the Senior Officer has direct responsibility or control, matters in which the Senior Officer routinely participates, and matters with which the Senior Officer is otherwise involved. In addition, a Senior Officer is responsible for matters of which the Senior Officer has actual knowledge.

 

 

   5    Last revised January 2021


AMENDMENTS

This Code other than Exhibit A may not be amended except in a writing that is specifically approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors.

CONFIDENTIALITY

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Board and their counsel, or to Amundi US’ Legal and Compliance Department.

INTERNAL USE

This Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.

Entity Registrant Name Pioneer Diversified High Income Fund, Inc.  
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]    
Investment Objectives and Practices [Text Block] The investment objective of the Fund is to seek a high level of current income and the Fund may, as a secondary objective, also seek capital appreciation to the extent that it is consistent with its investment objective.  
Risk Factors [Table Text Block]
E.
Risks
  The value of securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inflation, changes in interest rates, armed conflict such as between Russia and Ukraine or in the Middle East, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Inflation and interest rates may increase. These circumstances could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
  Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced or may experience particularly large losses. Periods of extreme volatility in the financial markets, reduced liquidity of many instruments, increased government debt, inflation, and disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability, may continue for some time. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, geopolitical or other events or conditions.
  Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time.
  The U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the U.S. has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. If the political climate between the U.S. and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China were to attempt unification of Taiwan by force, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund’s assets may go down.
  At times, the Fund’s investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, making the Fund more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors.
  The market prices of the Fund’s fixed income securities may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. The value of your investment will generally go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. For example, if interest rates increase by 1%, the value of a Fund’s portfolio with a portfolio duration of ten years would be expected to decrease by 10%, all other things being equal. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income securities. The maturity of a security may be significantly longer than its effective duration. A security’s maturity and other features may be more relevant than its effective duration in determining the security’s sensitivity to other factors affecting the issuer or markets generally, such as changes in credit quality or in the yield premium that the market may establish for certain types of securities (sometimes called “credit spread”). In general, the longer its maturity the more a security may be susceptible to these factors. When the credit spread for a fixed income security goes up, or “widens”, the value of the security will generally go
down.
  If an issuer or guarantor of a security held by the Fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the Fund defaults on its obligation to pay principal and/or interest, has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. Changes in actual or perceived creditworthiness may occur quickly. The Fund could be delayed or hindered in its enforcement of rights against an issuer, guarantor or counterparty.
  The Fund invests in below-investment grade (“high yield”) debt securities, floating rate loans and insurance-linked securities. The Fund may invest in securities and other obligations of any credit quality, including those that are rated below investment grade, or are unrated but are determined by the Adviser to be of equivalent credit quality. Below investment grade securities are commonly referred to as “junk bonds” and are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Below investment grade securities, including floating rate loans, involve greater risk of loss, are subject to greater price volatility, and may be less liquid and more difficult to value, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or change, than higher rated debt securities.
  Certain securities in which the Fund invests, including floating rate loans, once sold, may not settle for an extended period (for example, several weeks or even longer). The Fund will not receive its sale proceeds until that time, which may constrain the Fund’s ability to meet its obligations. The Fund may invest in securities of issuers that are in default or that are in bankruptcy. The value of collateral, if any, securing a floating rate loan can decline or may be insufficient to meet the issuer’s obligations or may be difficult to liquidate. No active trading market may exist for many floating rate loans, and many loans are subject to restrictions on resale. Any secondary market may be subject to irregular trading activity and extended settlement periods. There is less readily available, reliable information about most floating rate loans than is the case for many other types of securities. Normally, the Adviser will seek to avoid receiving material, nonpublic information about the issuer of a loan either held by, or considered for investment by, the Fund, and this decision could adversely affect the Fund’s investment performance. Loans may not be considered “securities,” and purchasers, such as the Fund, therefore may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections afforded by federal securities laws.
  The Fund invest in insurance-linked securities (“ILS”). ILS may include event-linked bonds (also known as insurance-linked bonds or catastrophe bonds), quota share instruments (also known as
  “reinsurance sidecars”), collateralized reinsurance investments, industry loss warranties, event-linked swaps, securities of companies in the insurance or reinsurance industries, and other insurance and reinsurance-related securities. The Fund could lose a portion or all of the principal it has invested in an ILS, and the right to additional interest or dividend payments with respect to the security, upon the occurrence of one or more trigger events, as defined within the terms of an insurance-linked security. ILS carry significant risk. See note 1.G.
  The Fund may invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities. The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Mortgage-backed securities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rate than other types of debt securities. These securities are also subject to prepayment and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets and are thus subject to the risk of default. The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage-backed investments offered by non-governmental issuers and those that include so-called “sub-prime” mortgages. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than for other types of debt securities. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events or defaults, the Fund may become the holder of underlying assets at a time when those assets may be difficult to sell or may be sold only at a loss.
  The Fund may invest in credit risk transfer securities. Credit risk transfer securities are unguaranteed and unsecured debt securities issued by government sponsored enterprises and therefore are not directly linked to or backed by the underlying mortgage loans. As a result, in the event that a government sponsored enterprise fails to pay principal or interest on its credit risk transfer securities or goes through a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, holders of such credit risk transfer securities have no direct recourse to the underlying mortgage loans and will generally receive recovery on par with other unsecured note holders in such a scenario. The risks associated with an investment in credit risk transfer securities are different than the risks associated with an investment in mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or other government sponsored enterprise or issued by a private issuer, because some or all of the mortgage default or credit risk associated with the underlying mortgage loans is transferred to
  investors. As a result, investors in these securities could lose some or all of their investment in these securities if the underlying mortgage loans default.
  The Fund’s investments in foreign markets and countries with limited developing markets may subject the Fund to a greater degree of risk than investments in a developed market. These risks include disruptive political or economic conditions, military conflicts and sanctions, terrorism, sustained economic downturns, financial instability, less liquid trading markets, extreme price volatility, currency risks, reduction of government or central bank support, inadequate accounting standards, tariffs, tax disputes or other tax burdens, nationalization or expropriation of assets and the imposition of adverse governmental laws, arbitrary application of laws and regulations or lack of rule of law and investment and repatriation restrictions. Lack of information and less market regulation also may affect the value of these securities. Withholding and other non-U.S. taxes may decrease the Fund’s return. Non-U.S. issuers may be located in parts of the world that have historically been prone to natural disasters. Investing in depositary receipts is subject to many of the same risks as investing directly in non-U.S. issuers. Depositary receipts may involve higher expenses and may trade at a discount (or premium) to the underlying security.
  Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In response to the military action by Russia, various countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, and European Union issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Since then, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have been adversely affected. The United States and other countries may impose sanctions on other countries, companies and individuals in light of Russia’s military invasion. The extent and duration of the military action or future escalation of such hostilities, the extent and impact of existing and future sanctions, market disruptions and volatility, and the result of any diplomatic negotiations cannot be predicted. These and any related events could have a significant impact on the value and liquidity of certain Fund investments, on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, particularly with respect to securities and commodities, such as oil, natural gas and food commodities, as well as other sectors with exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other countries affected by the invasion, and are likely to have collateral impacts on market sectors globally.
  The Fund may invest a significant amount of its total assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities are securities that the Fund reasonably
  expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the securities.
  The Fund may invest in REIT securities, the value of which can fall for a variety of reasons, such as declines in rental income, fluctuating interest rates, poor property management, environmental liabilities, uninsured damage, increased competition, or changes in real estate tax laws.
  With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. While the Fund’s Adviser has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, limit or mitigate, such cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers to the Fund such as the Fund’s custodian and accounting agent, and the Fund’s transfer agent. In addition, many beneficial owners of Fund shares hold them through accounts at broker-dealers, retirement platforms and other financial market participants over which neither the Fund nor the Adviser exercises control. Each of these may in turn rely on service providers to them, which are also subject to the risk of cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity failures or breaches at the Adviser or the Fund’s service providers or intermediaries have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund stockholders to effect share purchases or sales or receive distributions, loss of or unauthorized access to private stockholder information and violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, or additional compliance costs. Such costs and losses may not be covered under any insurance. In addition, maintaining vigilance against cyber-attacks may involve substantial costs over time, and system enhancements may themselves be subject to cyber-attacks.

Risks
  The value of securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inflation, changes in interest rates, armed conflict such as between Russia and Ukraine or in the Middle East, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Inflation and interest rates may increase. These circumstances could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
  Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced or may experience particularly large losses. Periods of extreme volatility in the financial markets, reduced liquidity of many instruments, increased government debt, inflation, and disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability, may continue for some time. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, geopolitical or other events or conditions.
  Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time.
  The U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the U.S. has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. If the political climate between the U.S. and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China were to attempt unification of Taiwan by force, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund’s assets may go down.
  At times, the Fund’s investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, making the Fund more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors.
  The market prices of the Fund’s fixed income securities may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. The value of your investment will generally go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. For example, if interest rates increase by 1%, the value of a Fund’s portfolio with a portfolio duration of ten years would be expected to decrease by 10%, all other things being equal. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income securities. The maturity of a security may be significantly longer than its effective duration. A security’s maturity and other features may be more relevant than its effective duration in determining the security’s sensitivity to other factors affecting the issuer or markets generally, such as changes in credit quality or in the yield premium that the market may establish for certain types of securities (sometimes called “credit spread”). In general, the longer its maturity the more a security may be susceptible to these factors. When the credit spread for a fixed income security goes up, or “widens”, the value of the security will generally go
down.
  If an issuer or guarantor of a security held by the Fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the Fund defaults on its obligation to pay principal and/or interest, has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. Changes in actual or perceived creditworthiness may occur quickly. The Fund could be delayed or hindered in its enforcement of rights against an issuer, guarantor or counterparty.
  The Fund invests in below-investment grade (“high yield”) debt securities, floating rate loans and insurance-linked securities. The Fund may invest in securities and other obligations of any credit quality, including those that are rated below investment grade, or are unrated but are determined by the Adviser to be of equivalent credit quality. Below investment grade securities are commonly referred to as “junk bonds” and are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Below investment grade securities, including floating rate loans, involve greater risk of loss, are subject to greater price volatility, and may be less liquid and more difficult to value, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or change, than higher rated debt securities.
  Certain securities in which the Fund invests, including floating rate loans, once sold, may not settle for an extended period (for example, several weeks or even longer). The Fund will not receive its sale proceeds until that time, which may constrain the Fund’s ability to meet its obligations. The Fund may invest in securities of issuers that are in default or that are in bankruptcy. The value of collateral, if any, securing a floating rate loan can decline or may be insufficient to meet the issuer’s obligations or may be difficult to liquidate. No active trading market may exist for many floating rate loans, and many loans are subject to restrictions on resale. Any secondary market may be subject to irregular trading activity and extended settlement periods. There is less readily available, reliable information about most floating rate loans than is the case for many other types of securities. Normally, the Adviser will seek to avoid receiving material, nonpublic information about the issuer of a loan either held by, or considered for investment by, the Fund, and this decision could adversely affect the Fund’s investment performance. Loans may not be considered “securities,” and purchasers, such as the Fund, therefore may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections afforded by federal securities laws.
  The Fund invest in insurance-linked securities (“ILS”). ILS may include event-linked bonds (also known as insurance-linked bonds or catastrophe bonds), quota share instruments (also known as
  “reinsurance sidecars”), collateralized reinsurance investments, industry loss warranties, event-linked swaps, securities of companies in the insurance or reinsurance industries, and other insurance and reinsurance-related securities. The Fund could lose a portion or all of the principal it has invested in an ILS, and the right to additional interest or dividend payments with respect to the security, upon the occurrence of one or more trigger events, as defined within the terms of an insurance-linked security. ILS carry significant risk. See note 1.G.
  The Fund may invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities. The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Mortgage-backed securities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rate than other types of debt securities. These securities are also subject to prepayment and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets and are thus subject to the risk of default. The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage-backed investments offered by non-governmental issuers and those that include so-called “sub-prime” mortgages. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than for other types of debt securities. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events or defaults, the Fund may become the holder of underlying assets at a time when those assets may be difficult to sell or may be sold only at a loss.
  The Fund may invest in credit risk transfer securities. Credit risk transfer securities are unguaranteed and unsecured debt securities issued by government sponsored enterprises and therefore are not directly linked to or backed by the underlying mortgage loans. As a result, in the event that a government sponsored enterprise fails to pay principal or interest on its credit risk transfer securities or goes through a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, holders of such credit risk transfer securities have no direct recourse to the underlying mortgage loans and will generally receive recovery on par with other unsecured note holders in such a scenario. The risks associated with an investment in credit risk transfer securities are different than the risks associated with an investment in mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or other government sponsored enterprise or issued by a private issuer, because some or all of the mortgage default or credit risk associated with the underlying mortgage loans is transferred to
  investors. As a result, investors in these securities could lose some or all of their investment in these securities if the underlying mortgage loans default.
  The Fund’s investments in foreign markets and countries with limited developing markets may subject the Fund to a greater degree of risk than investments in a developed market. These risks include disruptive political or economic conditions, military conflicts and sanctions, terrorism, sustained economic downturns, financial instability, less liquid trading markets, extreme price volatility, currency risks, reduction of government or central bank support, inadequate accounting standards, tariffs, tax disputes or other tax burdens, nationalization or expropriation of assets and the imposition of adverse governmental laws, arbitrary application of laws and regulations or lack of rule of law and investment and repatriation restrictions. Lack of information and less market regulation also may affect the value of these securities. Withholding and other non-U.S. taxes may decrease the Fund’s return. Non-U.S. issuers may be located in parts of the world that have historically been prone to natural disasters. Investing in depositary receipts is subject to many of the same risks as investing directly in non-U.S. issuers. Depositary receipts may involve higher expenses and may trade at a discount (or premium) to the underlying security.
  Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In response to the military action by Russia, various countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, and European Union issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Since then, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have been adversely affected. The United States and other countries may impose sanctions on other countries, companies and individuals in light of Russia’s military invasion. The extent and duration of the military action or future escalation of such hostilities, the extent and impact of existing and future sanctions, market disruptions and volatility, and the result of any diplomatic negotiations cannot be predicted. These and any related events could have a significant impact on the value and liquidity of certain Fund investments, on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, particularly with respect to securities and commodities, such as oil, natural gas and food commodities, as well as other sectors with exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other countries affected by the invasion, and are likely to have collateral impacts on market sectors globally.
  The Fund may invest a significant amount of its total assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities are securities that the Fund reasonably
  expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the securities.
  The Fund may invest in REIT securities, the value of which can fall for a variety of reasons, such as declines in rental income, fluctuating interest rates, poor property management, environmental liabilities, uninsured damage, increased competition, or changes in real estate tax laws.
