### President's Letter
Dear Shareholders,

The last few years have seen investors face some unprecedented challenges, from a global pandemic that shuttered much of the world's economy for months, to geopolitical strife, to rising inflation that has reached levels not seen in decades.

While economies in most of the world have reopened as COVID-19 has begun slowly transitioning to an "endemic" disease, the pandemic's effects are still with us. The easier monetary and fiscal policies enacted to provide stimulus as economies struggled through COVID-19-related restrictions and lockdowns, and ongoing supply chain issues, which were, at least in part, an outgrowth of the same virus-containment measures, were among the numerous factors that combined to begin driving inflation levels higher as the 2022 calendar year got underway.

With rising inflation already a concern, investor sentiment sharply deteriorated in the first quarter of 2022, with the negativity driven largely by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 as well as signs that inflation was more entrenched than transitory in many regions of the world. The war and the resulting economic sanctions placed on Russia by the US and European governments also contributed to a spike in energy prices, given that Russia is a major exporter of natural gas as well as other resources, particularly to Europe.

The persistently high inflation readouts led key central banks, including the US Federal Reserve (Fed), to signal a tightening of monetary policy. The Fed had already announced that it would taper its bond purchases and eventually end its pandemic-era quantitative easing program by the spring of 2022; and, with US inflation hitting 40-year highs, the Fed began aggressively raising its benchmark federal funds rate target range, while indicating that more rate hikes were likely. The magnitude of the rate increases heightened investors' concerns about the ability of the Fed and other central banks to cool inflation without triggering a recession.

Due to what was a tumultuous 2022 calendar year for investors, the performance of most asset classes, especially riskier assets such as equities and corporate bonds, turned negative and registered significant losses for the full 12-month period ended December 31, 2022, as market participants tried to ascertain the direction and progression of Fed policy, economic growth, the war in Ukraine, and other factors. In fact, the third quarter of 2022 marked the first time since 1976 that both equities and bonds had posted three consecutive quarters of negative returns. The 2022 US mid-term election results, which created a power shift in the US House of Representatives, are another

development that will garner investors' attention as we move into 2023, as changing political conditions have often contributed to increased market volatility.

In times like these, we at Amundi US believe our approach to investing is more appropriate than ever. Since 1928, Amundi US's investment process has been built on a foundation of fundamental research and active management, principles which have guided our investment decisions for more than 90 years. We believe active management – that is, making active investment decisions – can help mitigate the risks during periods of market volatility.

At Amundi US, active management begins with our own fundamental, bottom-up research process. Our team of dedicated research analysts and portfolio managers analyzes each security under consideration, communicating frequently with the management teams of the companies and other entities issuing the securities, and working together to identify those securities that we believe best meet our investment criteria for our family of funds. Our risk management approach begins with each security under consideration, as we strive to develop a deep understanding of the potential opportunity, while considering any potential risk factors.

Today, as shareholders, we have many options. It is our view that active management can serve shareholders well, not only when markets are thriving, but also during periods of market stress. As you consider your long-term investment goals, we encourage you to work with your financial professional to develop an investment plan that paves the way for you to pursue both your short-term and long-term goals.

We greatly appreciate the trust you have placed in us and look forward to continuing to serve you in the future.

### Portfolio Management Discussion \| 11/30/22
*In the following interview, Jonathan Sharkey discusses the factors that influenced the performance of Pioneer Floating Rate Fund, Inc. during the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022.

| **Q** | **How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022?** |
| **A** | Pioneer Floating Rate Fund, Inc. returned –7.72% at net asset value (NAV) and –18.38% at market price during the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022. During the same 12-month period, the Fund's benchmark, the Morningstar/Loan Syndications & Trading Association Leveraged Loan Index (the Morningstar/LSTA Index), returned –0.41% at NAV. Unlike the Fund, the Morningstar/LSTA Index does not use leverage. While the use of leverage increases investment opportunity, it also increases investment risk. |
|  | During the same 12-month period, the average return at NAV of the 63 closed end funds in Morningstar's Bank Loan Closed End Funds category (which may or may not be leveraged), was -5.03%, and the average return at market price of the closed end funds in the same Morningstar category was -11.03%. |
|  | The shares of the Fund were selling at a 9.10% discount to NAV on November 30, 2022. Comparatively, the shares of the Fund were selling at a 2.8% premium to NAV on November 30, 2021. |
|  | The Fund's standardized, 30-day SEC yield was 10.36% on November 30, 2022\*. |
| **Q** | **How would you describe the environment for investing in bank loans during the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022?** |
| **A** | As the period opened in December 2021, the market appeared to shrug off concerns over the prospect of tighter Federal Reserve System (Fed) monetary policy and the rapidly spreading Omicron variant of COVID-19, leading to solid performance for credit- |

| sensitive assets within the fixed-income market, including bank loans. Late 2021 and early 2022 saw elevated leveraged-finance activity and loan issuance, driven by both mergers and acquisitions as well as the payment of dividends to satisfy the demands of certain private equity investors. At the same time, record levels of collateralized loan obligation (CLO) issuance and historically high flows into loan mutual funds supported loan valuations, leading to tighter spreads and strong performance. (Loan spreads represent the interest rates over and above the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR rate, or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR rate, charged to borrowers by banks.) |
| However, the first quarter of 2022 saw a trifecta of increased geopolitical tensions, a worsening growth/inflation mix arising from a spike in commodity prices, and the prospect of rising interest rates due to changing monetary policies of many central banks dominate market sentiment, driving losses across most asset classes. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in late February, together with subsequent US and European sanctions on Russia, led to a spike in energy, metals, and food prices, adding downside risk to real economic growth and upside risk to inflation. In addition, another round of lockdowns in China in the wake of increasing COVID-19 infection rates exacerbated supply-chain disruptions and raised concerns about further risks to the global economic growth landscape. |
| As inflation reached levels not seen in many years, the Fed began to move away from its highly accommodative monetary policy stance. At its mid-March 2022 meeting, the Fed's Open Market Committee (FOMC) raised the federal funds rate target range by a quarter-point, moving the range to 0.25% ‒ 0.50%, and indicated that further increases would follow rapidly. The Fed also formally ended its pandemic-era quantitative easing program in March, and signaled it would soon begin reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) by reinvesting only part of the proceeds from maturing securities. |
| Against that backdrop, loan issuance ground to a halt amid a sharp decline in demand driven by mutual fund outflows and reduced CLO issuance, leading to steep losses across the broader loan market as loan spreads widened to three-year highs. |

| The US consumer price index began to post year-over-year increases in excess of 8% beginning with the March 2022 readout. By late spring, the market began speculating as to whether the Fed would be able to achieve a "soft landing," in which economic growth slowed yet remained positive as inflation was brought under control. With investors now concerned about inflation, the Fed's response, and economic growth prospects, returns for riskier assets (such as stocks and corporate bonds) turned deeply negative. The Fed continued to raise the federal funds rate target range aggressively between May and September, bringing the range to 3.00% ‒ 3.25%. For its part, the European Central Bank (ECB) caught markets off-guard in July by raising its reference rate by 50 basis points (bps), and followed up in September with an increase of 75 bps (a basis point is equal to 1/100th of a percentage point). US Treasury yields moved sharply higher in response to the Fed's determined stance, and the yield curve became inverted – with shorter-term yields moving above longer-term yields – as the market anticipated a recession. In November, just prior to period-end, the Fed increased the federal funds target by yet another 75 bps, bringing the range to 3.75% ‒ 4.00%. |
| Loan interest rates rose over the latter part of the 12-month period, as short-term reference rates increased alongside the federal funds target range. Loan performance relative to both high-yield and investment-grade corporate bonds benefited from the loan asset class's general lack of sensitivity to moves in interest rates. However, heightened recession fears weighed on investors' sentiment with regard to credit-sensitive securities, and the declining sentiment pressured loan prices, leading to a modest negative return for bank loans, in aggregate, for the full 12-month period. In addition, demand from CLOs for loans in the "B3" Moody's rating category essentially disappeared as the period progressed, due to investors' caution regarding potential downgrades, as those types of CLO vehicles are limited with respect to the proportion of "CCC" issues they can hold. |

|:---|:---|
| **Q** | **What factors had the biggest effects on the Fund's performance relative to its benchmark during the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022?** |
| **A** | In broad terms, the Fund's benchmark-relative performance for the 12-month period struggled due to the portfolio's tilt toward borrowers with capital structures that include high-yield corporate bonds alongside bank loans. This is a deliberate strategy we have employed in managing the Fund, as loans for companies with those types of profiles have historically experienced higher recovery rates in the event of default. However, as high-yield bond yields increased over the period, driven by credit-spread widening and rising interest rates, investors began demanding higher loan yields, which pressured loan values, particularly with regard to issuers with capital structures that featured both high-yield bonds and loans. (Credit spreads are commonly defined as the differences in yield between Treasuries and other types of fixed-income securities with similar maturities.) In addition, while expectations for Fed rate hikes have been generally supportive of loans given their floating-rate feature, during the period, the market became concerned that the Fed's aggressive tightening trajectory would throw the economy into recession and lead to a higher default rate for bank loans. |
|  | In sector terms, the Fund's overweight to health care issuers was the biggest detractor from relative returns for the 12-month period. While the health care sector has historically outperformed other sectors in recessionary environments, a reduction in government aid, along with higher labor costs and an inability for companies to adjust annual contracts, weighed on the performance of loans in the sector. Selection results within the commercial services and supply sector also detracted from the Fund's relative performance for the period. Finally, while a portfolio underweight to the software sector was beneficial for the Fund's relative performance, that positive was more than offset by negative security selection results within that sector. |
|  | On the positive side, security selection results within the construction and utilities sectors, as well as modest portfolio overweights to both sectors, benefited the Fund's relative returns for the period. In addition, selection results within the semiconductors, household goods, and trading |

| companies/distributors sectors aided the Fund's relative performance during the 12-month period. |
| With regard to individual loan holdings, within the commercial services and supplies sector, the portfolio's position in Phoenix Services weighed on the Fund's relative performance. The company specializes in removing molten slag, which is a byproduct of steel production from steel mills. The company's results initially had suffered during the pandemic due to lower utilization of steel plants. Post-recovery, it has experienced both significant wage and energy inflation, and the cost escalators in Phoenix's contracts have failed to keep pace. In addition, the company's overseas client base has included plants in Ukraine, which have been idled due to the conflict with Russia. Phoenix Services ultimately filed for bankruptcy, and it has proved difficult for us to exit the portfolio's position. |
| Within the health care sector, a number of loans held in the portfolio for companies featuring concurrent high-yield bonds lagged, and detracted from the Fund's relative returns. These included clinician group Envision Healthcare, which carved out its ambulatory services business into a subsidiary and completed a bond debt exchange, which proved detrimental to the company's loans; and dialysis provider US Renal, which was already experiencing lower patient volumes relative to pre-COVID levels, and saw a competitor receive an adverse Supreme Court ruling regarding reimbursement for end-stage kidney disease treatment. Finally, within the technology sector, and in the software segment in particular, investors' sentiment with respect to customer rewards solutions provider Loyalty Ventures softened during the 12-month period as consumers resumed air travel and began cashing in credit card points they had accumulated during the pandemic. |
| We have typically maintained a modest out-of-benchmark allocation to high-yield corporate bonds in the Fund's portfolio, both through individual names and indexed vehicles, aimed at improving the risk/reward and liquidity profile of the portfolio. The high-yield allocation in the portfolio averaged approximately 12% of invested assets for most of the period, as high-yield bonds had been offering better yields than loans. Overall, the portfolio's high-yield positions had a negative effect on the |

|  | Fund's relative returns, as the high-yield debt category notably underperformed loans for the 12-month period. |
|  | On the positive side, within the energy sector, a portfolio overweight to the loan for Traverse Midstream proved additive for the Fund's relative returns during the period, as the pipeline company benefited from strength in oil prices. In addition, exposure to the loan for Profrac, a provider of hydraulic fracturing services to energy exploration-and-production companies, helped the Fund's relative performance as the company came out of bankruptcy and benefited from an improved oil-pricing environment. An overweight position in the loan for Eastern Power Group was another positive contributor to the Fund's relative results for the 12-month period, as the utility executed an asset sale in order to pay down debt, and also benefited from positive auction results, which boosted electricity pricing. |
|  | Finally, a portfolio position in retailer Staples aided the Fund's relative performance for the period. Investor sentiment towards the loan improved as the company benefited from the back-to-office trend and a general restocking of office supplies. |
| **Q** | **How did the level of leverage in the Fund change over the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022?** |
| **A** | The Fund employs leverage through a credit agreement. (See Note 9 to the Financial Statements.) |
|  | As of November 30, 2022, 32.4% of the Fund's total managed assets were financed by leverage (or borrowed funds), compared with 32.7% of the Fund's total managed assets financed by leverage at the start of the 12-month period on December 1, 2021. During the 12-month period, the Fund decreased the absolute amount of funds borrowed by a total of $10.75 million, to |

|  | $58.7 million, as of November 30, 2022. The reduction in the amount of funds borrowed during the period was due to a decrease in the value of the Fund's net assets. |
| **Q** | **Did the Fund have any exposure to derivative securities during the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022? If so, did the derivatives have any material effect on performance?** |
| **A** | The Fund had some exposure to forward foreign currency exchange contracts (currency forwards) during the 12-month period. We utilized the currency forwards as a hedge against the portfolio's foreign exchange exposure for a credit denominated in the Mexican peso. The currency forwards had no material effect on the Fund's performance. |
| **Q** | **Did the Fund's distributions\*\* to shareholders change during the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022?** |
| **A** | The Fund's monthly distribution rate increased from $0.0575 per share/per month, to $0.0775 per share/per month over the 12-month period, as loan payments to the Fund re-set higher with the general increase in short-term interest rates. |
| **Q** | **What is the investment outlook?** |
| **A** | The default rate on loans for the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022 was 0.73% by loan volume, still benign compared to the historical average of slightly under 3%. The default rate by number of issuers as of November 30 was 0.69%. The portfolio experienced two material defaults for non-payment during the period, which were Envision (mentioned earlier) and Phoenix services. At the time, the two holdings represented approximately 0.51% of the Fund's invested assets. With that said, the default rate on loans held in the Fund's portfolio has remained below that of the market, given our bias towards investing in higher-quality loans. |
|  | While we think it may prove challenging for the Fed to achieve a soft economic landing as it works to try to bring inflation back down to its stated long-term target of 2%, we maintain a constructive view on the loan market for the next several quarters, as Fed rate increases have typically driven loan interest |

| rates and payments higher, given loans' floating-rate features. At the end of October 2022, the market was projecting the federal funds rate target range to increase to at least 5% in 2023. We believe US inflation will prove to be persistent, leading the Fed to keep interest rates at a higher level for a longer period of time. |
| At the end of the 12-month period, loan yields had exceeded bond yields for the first time in the current cycle, and we expect loans to maintain that advantage if the Fed continues to raise interest rates. We also expect economic duress to spread and for the economy to enter a recession, probably toward the middle of 2023. As has typically been the case during past recessions, we believe some borrowers will end up in trouble, thus leading to increased defaults. Although recent experience has shown diminished recovery rates for issues that are lower-rated, loan-only structures, we still anticipate that loan recoveries for companies in bankruptcy will maintain their historical trend of exceeding recovery rates for high-yield bonds. |
| We do not expect a deep recession, which was the scenario that played out during the global financial crisis of more than a decade ago. In our view, the economy will likely be on the upswing and the default rate headed lower at some point in 2024. Current loan-market spreads imply a 2023 default rate well above historical averages, and above industry forecasts, which suggests, in our view, that the market has overcompensated for recession risk and there is value to be found in the loan asset class. Historically, when loan prices have been at such discounted values, the loan market has seen positive returns over the following 12 months. As a result, we view loans as favorably valued on a relative basis, regardless of the depth of any potential recession. |

**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 countermeasures, or adverse investor sentiment. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.**

**The Fund may invest in floating-rate loans. 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.**

**Securities with floating interest rates generally are less sensitive to interest-rate changes, but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as prevailing interest rates. Unlike fixed-rate securities, floating-rate securities generally will not increase in value if interest rates decline. Changes in interest rates also will affect the amount of interest income the Fund earns on its floating-rate investments.**

**The Fund's investments, payment obligations and financing terms may be based on floating rates, such as LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), or SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate). Plans are underway to phase out the use of LIBOR. There remains uncertainty regarding the nature of any replacement rate and the impact of the transition from LIBOR on the Fund, issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests, and financial markets generally.**

**The Fund may use derivatives, which may include futures and options, for a variety of purposes, including: in an attempt to hedge against adverse changes in the marketplace of securities, interest rates or currency exchange rates; as a substitute for purchasing or selling securities; to attempt to increase the Fund's return as a non-hedging strategy that may be considered speculative; and to manage portfolio characteristics. Using derivatives can increase fund losses and reduce opportunities for gains when the market prices, interest rates or the**

#### derivative instruments themselves behave in a way not anticipated by the Fund. These types of instruments can increase price fluctuation.
**The Fund is not limited in the percentage of its assets that may be invested in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities may be difficult to sell at a price reflective of their value at 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 may be 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 employs leverage through a revolving credit facility. Leverage creates significant risks, including the risk that the Fund's income or capital appreciation from investments purchased with the proceeds of leverage will not be sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, which may adversely affect the return for shareowners.**

**The Fund is required to maintain certain regulatory and other asset coverage requirements in connection with the Fund's use of leverage. In order to maintain required asset coverage levels, the Fund may be required to reduce the amount of leverage employed by the Fund, 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 shareowners over time, which is likely to result in a decrease in the market value of the Fund's shares.**

**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 and economic and political conditions.
**The Fund invests in insurance-linked securities (ILS). The return of principal and the payment of interest on ILS 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 shareowner 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.**

#### Call 1-800-710-0935 or visit www.amundi.com/us for the most recent month-end performance results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
**Performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and market price will fluctuate, and your shares may trade below NAV, due to such factors as interest rate changes, and the perceived credit quality of borrowers.**

Total investment return does not reflect broker sales charges or commissions. All performance is for common shares of the Fund.

Shares of listed closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and, once issued, shares of listed closed-end funds are bought and sold in the open market through a stock exchange and frequently trade at prices lower than their NAV. NAV per share is total assets less total liabilities, which include preferred shares or borrowings, as applicable, divided by the number of common shares outstanding.

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 shareowner would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Had these fees and taxes been reflected, performance would have been lower.

Index returns are calculated monthly, assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. **The index does not use leverage.** You cannot invest directly in an index.

### Notes to Financial Statements \| 11/30/22
1. Organization and Signiﬁcant Accounting Policies

Pioneer Floating Rate 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 October 6, 2004. Prior to commencing operations on December 28, 2004, 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").

In March 2020, FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update, ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"), which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other LIBOR-based reference rates at the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2023. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on the Fund's investments, derivatives, debt and other contracts, if applicable, that will undergo reference rate-related modifications as a result of the reference rate reform.

Effective August 19, 2022, 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. |
|  | 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. |
|  | 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. |

| 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. |
| 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. |
| Shares of open-end registered investment companies (including money market mutual funds) are valued at such funds' net asset value. |
| 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 personnel of the Adviser. Effective September 8, 2022, 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/<br> 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 shareowners. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of November 30, 2022, 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 shareowners 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. |
|  | At November 30, 2022, the Fund reclassified $41,309 to increase distributable earnings and $41,309 to decrease paid-in capital to reflect permanent book/tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. |
|  | At November 30, 2022, the Fund was permitted to carry forward indefinitely $6,885,231 of short-term losses and $60,902,190 of long-term losses. |
|  | The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended November 30, 2022 and November 30, 2021, was as follows: |

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized depreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and adjustments relating to passive foreign investment companies.

|:---|:---|
| **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 including Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, 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. In recent years, interest rates and credit spreads in the U.S. have been at historic lows. The U.S. Federal Reserve has raised certain interest rates, and interest rates may continue to go up. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities. Rates of inflation have recently risen. The value of assets or income from an investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund's assets can decline as can the value of the Fund's distributions. |
|  | The global pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Global financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. These circumstances may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities have lost all, or nearly all, their |

| market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future 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. |
| 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 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, 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, or currency exchange 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 have 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 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 invests primarily in floating rate loans and other floating rate investments. Floating rate loans typically are rated below investment grade. Debt securities rated below-investment-grade 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. |
| Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing at least 80% of its assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in senior floating rate loans. For purposes of the Fund's investment policies, senior floating rate loans include funds that invest primarily in senior floating rate loans. Floating rate loans and similar investments may be illiquid or less liquid than other investments and difficult to value. Market quotations for these securities may be volatile and/or subject to large spreads between bid and ask prices. |
| 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's investments, payment obligations and financing terms may be based on floating rates, such as LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) or SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate). ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, ceased publication of most LIBOR settings on a representative basis at the end of 2021 and is expected to cease publication of a majority of U.S. dollar LIBOR settings on a representative basis after June 30, 2023. In addition, global regulators have announced that, with limited exceptions, no new LIBOR-based contracts should be entered into after 2021. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in most major currencies. Markets are developing in response to these new rates, but questions around liquidity in these rates and how to appropriately adjust these rates to eliminate any economic value transfer at the time of transition remain a significant concern. The effect of any changes to - or discontinuation of - LIBOR on the Fund will vary depending on, among other things, existing fallback provisions in individual contracts and whether, how, and when industry participants develop and widely adopt new reference rates and fallbacks for both legacy and new products and instruments. The transition process may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that rely on LIBOR. The transition may also result in a reduction in the value of certain LIBOR-based investments held by the Fund or reduce the effectiveness of related transactions such as hedges. Any such effects of the transition away from LIBOR, as well as other unforeseen effects, could result in losses for the Fund. Because the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark may deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur at any time. |
| The Fund is not limited in the percentage of its assets that may be invested 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. |
| 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 cyberattacks. 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 shareowners to effect share purchases, or sales or receive distributions, loss of or unauthorized access to private shareowner 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. |
| **F.** | **Restricted Securities** |
|  | Restricted Securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Private placement securities are generally considered to be restricted except for those securities traded between qualiﬁed institutional investors under the provisions of Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. |
|  | Disposal of restricted investments may involve negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difﬁcult to achieve. Restricted investments held by the Fund at November 30, 2022 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.** | **Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan** |
|  | All shareowners 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. Shareowners may elect not to participate in the Plan. Shareowners 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 American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the agent for shareowners 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 shareowner's shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, the shareowner can ask the firm or nominee to participate in the Plan on the shareowner's behalf. If the firm or nominee does not offer the Plan, dividends will be paid in cash to the shareowner of record. A firm or nominee may reinvest a shareowner'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 NYSE 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 shareowners from any federal, state or local taxes which may be due on dividends paid in any taxable year. Shareowners holding Plan shares in a brokerage account may be able to transfer the shares to another broker and continue to participate in the Plan. |
| **I.** | **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. As of and for the year ended November 30, 2022, the Fund had no restricted cash presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |

| **J.** | **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 6). |
|  | During the year ended November 30, 2022, 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 year ended November 30, 2022, was $0 and $423,006 for buys and sells, respectively. Open forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at November 30, 2022 are listed in the Schedule of Investments. |

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 0.70% 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 (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 year ended November 30, 2022, the net management fee was 0.70% of the Fund's average daily managed assets, which was equivalent to 1.04% 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.

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 year ended November 30, 2022, the Fund paid $9,183 in Officers' and Directors' compensation, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Officers' and Directors' fees. At November 30, 2022, on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Fund had a payable for Directors' fees of $1,602 and a payable for administrative expenses of $16,172, which includes the payable for officer's compensation.

4. Transfer Agent

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company ("AST") serves as the transfer agent with respect to the Fund's common shares. The Fund pays AST an annual fee as is agreed to from time to time by the Fund and AST for providing such services

In addition, the Fund reimbursed the transfer agent for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the transfer agent related to shareowner 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 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.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

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.

6. Additional Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Fund's use of derivatives may enhance or mitigate the Fund's exposure to the following risks:

Interest rate risk relates to the ﬂuctuations in the value of interest-bearing securities due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates.

Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a ﬁnancial instrument to make further principal or interest payments on an obligation or commitment that it has to the Fund.

Foreign exchange rate risk relates to ﬂuctuations in the value of an asset or liability due to changes in currency exchange rates.

Equity risk relates to the ﬂuctuations in the value of ﬁnancial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange rate risk), whether caused by factors speciﬁc to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

7. 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 Footnote 1A and unrealized appreciation or depreciation, if any, is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

8. Fund Shares

There are 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock of the Fund ("common shares"), $0.001 par value per share authorized.

Transactions in common shares for the year ended November 30, 2022 and the year ended November 30, 2021, were as follows:

---

| | | |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Shares outstanding at end of year** | **12,374,933** | **12,371,383** |

9. Credit Agreement

The Fund has entered into a Revolving Credit Facility (the "Credit Agreement") with the Bank of Nova Scotia in the amount of $75,000,000. The credit agreement is an "evergreen" facility that renews on a daily basis in perpetuity. Either party may elect to terminate its commitment under the credit agreement upon 179-days written notice.

Interest on borrowings is payable at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.95% on an annualized basis, or the Alternate Base Rate, which is the greater of (a) the facility's administrative agent's daily announced prime rate on the borrowing date, (b) 2% plus the Federal Funds Rate on the borrowing date or (c) 2% plus the overnight Eurodollar rate on the borrowing date.

At November 30, 2022, the Fund had borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement totaling $58,700,000. The interest rate charged at November 30, 2022 was 4.78%. During the year ended November 30, 2022, the average daily balance was $64,504,110 at an average interest rate of 2.25%. Interest expense of $1,471,735 in connection with the Credit Agreement is included on the Statement of Operations.

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

The Fund is required to maintain 300% asset coverage with respect to amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Asset coverage is calculated by subtracting the Fund's total liabilities not including any bank loans and senior securities, from the Fund's total assets and dividing such amount by the principal amount of the borrowing outstanding.

10. Tender Offer

The Fund announced a tender offer on August 31, 2020, and commenced the tender offer on November 23, 2020, pursuant to which the Fund offered to purchase up to 50% of the Fund's outstanding common shares (the "Shares") at a price per Share equal to 98.5% of the net asset value per Share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on the business day immediately following the expiration date of the tender offer. The tender offer expired on December 22, 2020. The tender offer was commenced pursuant to a settlement agreement made by the Board with Saba Capital Management, L.P. and certain associated parties.

The Fund accepted 12,369,087 duly tendered and not withdrawn Shares, representing approximately 50% of the Fund's outstanding Shares. The Shares accepted for tender were repurchased at a price of $11.0616, equal to 98.5% of the net asset value per Share of $11.23 as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on December 23, 2020, the pricing date stated in the Offer to Purchase. Because the total number of Shares tendered exceeded the number of Shares offered to purchase, all tendered Shares were subject to pro-ration in accordance with the terms of the Offer to Purchase. Under final pro-ration, 86.4% of the Shares tendered were accepted for payment, subject to adjustment for fractional shares. Payment for the accepted Shares was made on December 28, 2020. Following the purchase of the tendered Shares, the Fund had approximately 12,369,087 Shares outstanding.

11. Subsequent Events

A monthly distribution was declared on December 1, 2022 of $0.0800 per share payable December 19, 2022 to share owners of record on December 13, 2022.

### Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Principal Risks

#### CHANGES OCCURRING DURING THE MOST RECENT FISCAL YEAR
During the Fund's most recent fiscal year, there were no material changes to the Fund's investment objectives or policies that have not been approved by stockholders or in the principal risk factors associated with investment in the Fund.

#### INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The Fund's primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. As a secondary investment objective, the Fund seeks preservation of capital to the extent consistent with its primary investment objective. The Fund's investment objectives are fundamental policies and may not be changed without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

#### PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
As a fundamental policy, under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing at least 80% of its assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in senior floating rate loans ("Senior Loans"). Senior Loans typically are made to corporations, partnerships and other business entities that operate in various industries and geographical regions, including non-U.S. borrowers. The Fund also may invest in other floating and variable rate instruments, including second lien loans, and in high yield corporate bonds, investment grade fixed-income debt securities, preferred stocks (many of which have fixed maturities), convertible securities, securities that make "in-kind" interest payments, bonds not paying current income, bonds that do not make regular interest payments and money market instruments. Senior Loans and other floating rate instruments pay interest at rates that adjust or "float" periodically based on a specified interest rate or other reference. The Fund does not have a policy of maintaining a specific average credit quality of its portfolio or a minimum portion of its portfolio that must be rated investment grade. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in floating rate loans and other securities of non-U.S. issuers, including emerging markets securities. The Fund does not expect that investments in second lien loans generally will exceed 15% of its assets.

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

The Fund may invest in Senior Loans and other securities of any credit quality, including Senior Loans and other investments that are rated below investment grade, or are unrated but are determined by the Adviser to be of equivalent credit quality. Non-investment grade securities, commonly referred to as junk bonds, are obligations that are rated below investment grade by the national rating agencies that cover the obligations (i.e., Ba and below by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or BB and below by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P")), or if unrated, are determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. Investment in securities of below investment grade quality involves substantial risk of loss. "Junk bonds" are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer's ability to pay interest and repay principal and are susceptible to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic and business developments. Floating rate loans typically are rated below investment grade. Accordingly, a substantial portion of the Fund's assets may be invested in securities that are rated below investment grade or are unrated. The Fund may invest all or any portion of its assets in securities of issuers that are in default or that are in bankruptcy.

The Fund may consider another fund, such as an exchange-traded fund (ETF), as Senior Loans for purposes of satisfying the Fund's 80% policy, if the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in Senior Loans.

The Adviser considers both broad economic and issuer specific factors in selecting a portfolio designed to achieve the Fund's investment objectives. The Adviser selects individual securities based upon the terms of the securities (such as yields compared to U.S. Treasuries or comparable issues, or rates such as LIBOR), liquidity and rating, sector and exposure to particular issuers and sectors. The Adviser also employs fundamental research to assess an issuer's credit quality, taking into account financial condition and profitability, future capital needs, potential for change in rating agency recommendations, industry outlook, the competitive environment and management ability. In making these portfolio decisions, the Adviser relies on the knowledge, experience and judgment of its staff and the staff of its affiliates who have access to a wide variety of research.

The Fund may, but is not required to, use various hedging and interest rate transactions to earn income, facilitate portfolio management and mitigate risks. The Fund may purchase and sell derivative instruments such as exchange-listed and over-the-counter put and call options on securities, fixed income and interest rate indices and other financial instruments; purchase and sell financial futures contracts and options thereon; and enter into various interest rate transactions such as swaps, caps, floors or collars or credit transactions and credit default swaps. The Fund also may

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

purchase derivative instruments that combine features of these instruments. The Fund generally seeks to use these instruments and transactions as a portfolio management or hedging technique that seeks to protect against possible adverse changes in the market value of loans or other securities held in or to be purchased for the Fund's portfolio, to facilitate the sale of certain securities for investment purposes, manage the effective interest rate exposure of the Fund, manage the effective maturity or duration of the Fund's portfolio or establish positions in the derivatives markets as a temporary substitute for purchasing or selling particular securities.

The Fund may use financial leverage on an ongoing basis for investment purposes by borrowing from banks through a revolving credit facility. Leverage creates special risks not associated with unleveraged funds having a similar investment objectives and policies. These include the possibility of higher volatility of both the net asset value of the Fund and the value of assets serving as asset coverage for the borrowing. The fees and expenses attributed to leverage, including any increase in the management fees, will be borne by holders of common shares. The Adviser intends only to leverage the Fund when it believes that the potential total return on additional investments purchased with the proceeds of leverage is likely to exceed the costs incurred in connection with the leverage. The Fund may not be leveraged at all times, and the amount of leverage, if any, may vary depending on a variety of factors, including the Adviser's outlook for interest rates and credit markets and the costs that the Fund would incur as a result of such leverage. The Fund's leveraging strategy may not be successful.

Interest rates on Senior Loans and other securities in which the Fund invests adjust periodically. The interest rates are adjusted based on a base rate plus a premium or spread over the base rate. The Adviser expects that the average effective duration of the Fund's portfolio of Senior Loans will normally be between zero and two years, reflecting the Fund's focus on floating rate instruments. Unlike maturity, duration takes into account interest payments that occur throughout the course of holding the instrument. The longer a portfolio's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. For example, if the Fund has a two year duration, then all other things being equal, the Fund will decrease in value by two percent if interest rates rise one percent. The assumptions that are made about an instrument's features and options when calculating duration may prove to be incorrect. Duration is calculated by the Adviser, is not an exact measurement and may not reliably predict the Fund's or a particular security's price sensitivity to changes in yield or interest rates. Because the interest rate on Senior Loans held by the Fund will reset at

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

short-term intervals, the duration of Senior Loans will be shorter than that of a fixed income security with a comparable term to maturity.

The Adviser's staff monitors the credit quality and price of Senior Loans and other securities held by the Fund. The Fund may invest in Senior Loans and other securities of any credit quality, including Senior Loans and other investments that are rated below investment grade or are unrated but are determined by the Adviser to be of equivalent credit quality. The Fund does not have a policy of maintaining a specific average credit quality of its portfolio nor a minimum portion of its portfolio that must be rated investment grade. Although the Adviser considers ratings when making investment decisions, it performs its own credit and investment analysis and does not rely primarily on ratings assigned by rating services.

Except for the Fund's investment objectives and the Fund's policy to invest at least 80% of its assets in Senior Loans, the Fund's investment strategies and policies may be changed from time to time without shareholder approval, unless specifically stated otherwise.

**Other Investments. Normally, the Fund will invest substantially all of its assets to meet its investment objectives. The Fund may invest the remainder of its assets in securities with remaining maturities of less than one year or cash equivalents, or it may hold cash. For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may depart from its principal investment strategies and invest part or all of its assets in securities with remaining maturities of less than one year or cash equivalents, or it may hold cash. During such periods, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objectives.**

#### Portfolio Contents
**Floating rate instruments. Floating rate instruments pay interest rates that adjust or "float" periodically based on a specified interest rate or other reference and include floating rate loans, repurchase agreements, money market securities and shares of money market and short-term bond funds.**

**Floating rate loans. Floating rate loans are provided by banks and other financial institutions to large corporate customers in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, and refinancings. These loans are generally acquired as a participation interest in, or assignment of, loans originated by a lender or other financial institution. These loans are rated below investment grade. The rates of interest on the loans typically adjust periodically by reference to a base lending rate, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), a designated U.S. bank's prime or base rate or the overnight**

federal funds rate, plus a premium. Some loans reset on set dates, typically every 30 to 90 days, but not to exceed one year. Other loans reset periodically when the underlying rate resets.

Senior loans hold a senior position in the capital structure of the borrower. Having a senior position means that, if the borrower becomes insolvent, senior debtholders, like the Fund, will be paid before subordinated debtholders and stockholders of the borrower. Senior loans typically are secured by specific collateral.

Floating rate loans typically are structured and administered by a financial institution that acts as an agent for the holders of the loan. Loans can be acquired directly through the agent, by assignment from another holder of the loan, or as a participation interest in the loan. When the Fund is a direct investor in a loan, the Fund may have the ability to influence the terms of the loan, although the Fund does not act as the sole negotiator or originator of the loan. Participation interests are fractional interests in a loan issued by a lender or other financial institution. When the Fund invests in a loan participation, the Fund does not have a direct claim against the borrower and must rely upon an intermediate participant to enforce any rights against the borrower.

The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in floating rate loans and other securities of non-U.S. issuers, including emerging market issuers, and may engage in certain hedging transactions.

Borrowers may have outstanding debt obligations that are rated below investment grade by a rating agency. A high percentage of loans held by the Fund may be rated below investment grade by independent rating agencies. In the event loans are not rated, they are likely to be the equivalent of below investment grade quality. Debt securities which are unsecured and rated below investment grade (i.e., Ba and below by Moody's or BB and below by S&P) and comparable unrated bonds, are viewed by the rating agencies as having speculative characteristics and are commonly known as "junk bonds."

The Fund may hold securities that are unrated or in the lowest ratings categories (rated C by Moody's or D by S&P). Debt securities rated C by Moody's are regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing. Debt securities rated D by S&P are in payment default or a bankruptcy petition has been filed and debt service payments are jeopardized. In order to enforce its rights with defaulted securities, the Fund may be required to retain legal counsel and/or a financial adviser. The Fund may have to pursue legal remedies, the results

of which are uncertain and expensive. This may increase operating expenses and adversely affect net asset value.

**Second lien loans and other subordinated securities. The Fund may invest in second lien loans and other securities that are subordinated or "junior" to more senior securities of the issuer. The investor in a subordinated security of an issuer is entitled to payment after other holders of debt in that issuer.**

**Other Fixed Income Securities. The Fund also may purchase unsecured loans, other floating rate debt securities such as notes, bonds and asset-backed securities (such as securities issued by special purpose funds investing in bank loans), investment grade and below investment grade fixed income debt obligations and money market instruments, such as commercial paper.**

The Fund may invest in zero coupon bonds, deferred interest bonds and bonds or preferred stocks on which the interest is payable in-kind (PIK bonds).

**Non-U.S. Investments. The Fund may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers, including securities of emerging markets issuers. Non-U.S. issuers are issuers that are organized and have their principal offices outside of the United States. Non-U.S. securities may be issued by non-U.S. governments, banks or corporations, or private issuers, and certain supranational organizations, such as the World Bank and the European Union. The Fund considers emerging market issuers to include issuers organized under the laws of an emerging market country, issuers with a principal office in an emerging market country, issuers that derive at least 50% of their gross revenues or profits from goods or services produced in emerging market countries or sales made in emerging market countries, or issuers that have at least 50% of their assets in emerging market countries and emerging market governmental issuers. Emerging markets generally will include, but not be limited to, countries included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Emerging + Frontier Markets Index.**

**Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities may be issued by private issuers, by government-sponsored entities such as FNMA or FHLMC or by agencies of the U.S. government, such as GNMA. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participation in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. The Fund's investments in mortgage-related securities may include mortgage derivatives and structured securities.**

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

The Fund may invest in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). A CMO is a mortgage-backed bond that is issued in multiple classes, each with a specified fixed or floating interest rate and a final scheduled distribution date. The holder of an interest in a CMO is entitled to receive specified cash flows from a pool of underlying mortgages or other mortgage-backed securities. Depending upon the class of CMO purchased, the holder may be entitled to payment before the cash flow from the pool is used to pay holders of other classes of the CMO or, alternatively, the holder may be paid only to the extent that there is cash remaining after the cash flow has been used to pay other classes. A subordinated interest may serve as a credit support for the senior securities purchased by other investors.

The Fund may invest in commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"). CMBS are subject to the risks generally associated with mortgage-backed securities. CMBS may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and are subject to risk of default on the underlying mortgages. CMBS issued by non-government entities may offer higher yields than those issued by government entities, but also may be subject to greater volatility than government issues. CMBS react differently to changes in interest rates than other bonds and the prices of CMBS may reflect adverse economic and market conditions. Small movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of CMBS.

The commercial mortgages underlying certain commercial mortgage-backed securities generally allow all or a substantial portion of the loan balance to be paid at maturity, commonly known as a balloon payment. Some mortgage loans restrict periodic adjustments by limiting changes in the borrower's monthly principal and interest payments rather than limiting interest rate changes. These payment caps may result in negative amortization, where payments are less than the amount of principal and interest owed, with excess amounts added to the outstanding principal balance, which can extend the average life of the mortgage-backed securities.

The Fund may invest in credit risk transfer securities. Credit risk transfer securities are a type of mortgage-related security that transfers the credit risk related to certain types of mortgage-backed securities to the owner of the credit risk transfer security. Credit risk transfer securities are commonly issued by government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs), such as FNMA or FHLMC, but may also be issued by private entities such as banks or other financial institutions. Credit risk transfer securities issued by GSEs are unguaranteed and unsecured fixed or floating rate general obligations and are typically issued at par and have stated final maturities. In addition,

GSE-issued credit risk transfer securities are structured so that: (i) interest is paid directly by the issuing GSE; and (ii) principal is paid by the issuing GSE in accordance with the principal payments and default performance of a pool of residential mortgage loans acquired by the GSE. In this regard, holders of GSE credit risk transfer securities receive compensation for providing credit protection to the GSE and, when a specified level of losses on the underlying mortgage loans occurs, the principal balance and certain payments owed to the holders of such GSE credit risk transfer securities may be reduced.

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 FNMA and FHLMC, 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.

**Asset-Backed Securities. The Fund may invest in asset-backed securities. Asset-backed securities represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as installment sales or loan contracts, leases, credit card receivables and other categories of receivables. The Fund's investments in asset-backed securities may include derivative and structured securities. The Fund may invest in asset-backed securities issued by special entities, such as trusts, that are backed by a pool of financial assets. The Fund may invest in collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), which include collateralized bond obligations (CBOs), collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and other similarly structured securities. A CDO is a trust backed by a pool of fixed income securities. The trust typically is split into two or more portions, called tranches, which vary in credit quality, yield, credit support and right to repayment of principal and interest. Lower tranches pay higher interest rates but represent lower degrees of credit quality and are more sensitive to the rate of defaults in the pool of obligations. Certain CDOs may use derivatives, such as credit default swaps, to create synthetic exposure to assets rather than holding such assets directly.**

**Insurance-Linked Securities. The Fund may invest in insurance-linked securities (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 securities issued by 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. The Fund may invest in interests in pooled entities that invest primarily in ILS.

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.

**Zero Coupon Securities. The Fund may invest in zero coupon securities. Zero coupon securities are debt instruments that do not pay interest during the life of the security but are issued at a discount from the amount the investor will receive when the issuer repays the amount borrowed (the face**

value). The discount approximates the total amount of interest that would be paid at an assumed interest rate.

**Derivatives. The Fund may, but is not required to, use futures and options on securities, indices and currencies, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swaps, credit-linked notes and other derivatives. The Fund also may enter into credit default swaps, which can be used to acquire or to transfer the credit risk of a security or index of securities without buying or selling the security or securities comprising the relevant index. A derivative is a security or instrument whose value is determined by reference to the value or the change in value of one or more securities, currencies, indices or other financial instruments. The Fund may use derivatives for a variety of purposes, including:**

• In an attempt to hedge against adverse changes in the market prices of securities, interest rates or currency exchange rates

• As a substitute for purchasing or selling securities

• To attempt to increase the Fund's return as a non-hedging strategy that may be considered speculative

• To manage portfolio characteristics (for example, the duration or credit quality of the Fund's portfolio)

• As a cash flow management technique

The Fund may choose not to make use of derivatives for a variety of reasons, and any use may be limited by applicable law and regulations.

**Common Stocks. The Fund may acquire an interest in common stocks upon the default of a loan or other security secured by such common stock. The Fund may also acquire warrants or other rights to purchase a borrower's common stock in connection with the making of a loan. Common stocks are shares of a corporation or other entity that entitle the holder to a pro rata share of the profits, if any, of the corporation without preference over any other shareholder or class of shareholders, including holders of such entity's preferred stock and other senior equity securities. Common stock usually carries with it the right to vote and frequently an exclusive right to do so. In selecting common stocks for investment, the Fund generally expects to focus primarily on the security's dividend paying capacity rather than on its potential for capital appreciation.**

**Preferred Stocks. The Fund may invest in preferred securities. Preferred securities are equity securities, but they have many characteristics of fixed income securities, such as a fixed dividend payment rate and/or a liquidity preference over the issuer's common shares. However, because preferred**

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

shares are equity securities, they may be more susceptible to risks traditionally associated with equity investments than the Fund's fixed income securities.

**Convertible Securities. The Fund's investment in fixed income securities may include bonds and preferred stocks that are convertible into the equity securities of the issuer or a related company. Depending on the relationship of the conversion price to the market value of the underlying securities, convertible securities may trade more like equity securities than debt instruments.**

**Other Debt Securities. The Fund may invest in other debt securities. Other debt securities in which the Fund may invest include: securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities and custodial receipts therefor; securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign government or any of its political subdivisions, authorities, agencies or instrumentalities or by international or supranational entities; corporate debt securities, including notes, bonds and debentures; certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances issued or guaranteed by, or time deposits maintained at, banks (including U.S. or foreign branches of U.S. banks or U.S. or foreign branches of foreign banks) having total assets of more than $1 billion; commercial paper; and mortgage related securities. These securities may be of any maturity. The value of debt securities can be expected to vary inversely with interest rates.**

**Money Market Instruments. Money market instruments include short-term U.S. government securities, U.S. dollar-denominated, high quality commercial paper (unsecured promissory notes issued by corporations to finance their short-term credit needs), certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and repurchase agreements relating to any of the foregoing. U.S. government securities include Treasury notes, bonds and bills, which are direct obligations of the U.S. government backed by the full faith and credit of the United States and securities issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government, which may be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, may be supported by the issuer's right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or may be backed only by the credit of the federal agency or instrumentality itself.**

**Other Investment Companies. The Fund may invest in the securities of other investment companies to the extent that such investments are consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and principal investment strategies and permissible under the 1940 Act. Subject to the limitations on investment in other investment companies, the Fund may invest in "ETFs."**

**Repurchase Agreements. In a repurchase agreement, the Fund purchases securities from a broker/dealer or a bank, called the counterparty, upon the agreement of the counterparty to repurchase the securities from the Fund at a later date, and at a specified price, which is typically higher than the purchase price paid by the Fund. The securities purchased serve as the Fund's collateral for the obligation of the counterparty to repurchase the securities. If the counterparty does not repurchase the securities, the Fund is entitled to sell the securities, but the Fund may not be able to sell them for the price at which they were purchased, thus causing a loss. Additionally, if the counterparty becomes insolvent, there is some risk that the Fund will not have a right to the securities, or the immediate right to sell the securities.**

#### PRINCIPAL RISKS
**General. The Fund is a closed-end management investment company designed primarily as a long-term investment and not as a trading tool. The Fund is not a complete investment program and should be considered only as an addition to an investor's existing portfolio of investments. Because the Fund may invest substantially in high yield debt securities, an investment in the Fund's shares is speculative in that it involves a high degree of risk. Due to uncertainty inherent in all investments, there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Instruments in which the Fund invests may only have limited liquidity, or may be illiquid.**

**Market price of shares. Common shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a price lower than their net asset value. This is commonly referred to as "trading at a discount." This characteristic of shares of closed-end funds is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that the Fund's net asset value may decrease. Both long and short-term investors, including investors who sell their shares within a relatively short period after completion of the initial public offering, will be exposed to this risk. The Fund is designed primarily for long-term investors and should not be considered a vehicle for trading purposes. Whether investors will realize a gain or loss upon the sale of the Fund's Common Shares will depend upon whether the market value of the shares at the time of sale is above or below the price the investor paid, taking into account transaction costs, for the shares and is not directly dependent upon the Fund's net asset value. Because the market value of the Fund's shares will be determined by factors such as the relative demand for and supply of the shares in the market, general market conditions and other factors beyond the control of**

Pioneer Floating Rate Fund, Inc. \| Annual Report \| 11/30/2281

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

the Fund, the Fund cannot predict whether its Common Shares will trade at, below or above net asset value, or below or above the initial offering price for the shares.

**Market risk. The market prices of securities or other assets 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, political instability, 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, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes, sanctions or other government actions, or other factors or adverse investor sentiment. If the market prices of the Fund's securities and assets fall, the value of your investment will go down. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer or market may adversely impact securities markets as a whole. Rates of inflation have recently risen. The value of assets or income from an investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund's assets can decline as can the value of the Fund's distributions.**

Changes in market conditions may not have the same impact on all types of securities. The value of securities may also fall due to specific conditions that affect a particular sector of the securities market or a particular issuer. In the past decade, financial markets throughout the world have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. Governmental and non-governmental issuers have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Events that have contributed to these market conditions include, but are not limited to, major cybersecurity events; geopolitical events (including wars, terror attacks and economic sanctions); measures to address budget deficits; downgrading of sovereign debt; changes in oil and commodity prices; dramatic changes in currency exchange rates; global pandemics; and public sentiment. The global pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Global financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. These circumstances may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities have 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. In recent years, interest rates and credit spreads in the U.S. have been at historic lows. The U.S. Federal Reserve has raised certain interest rates, and interest rates may continue to go up. . U.S. Federal Reserve or other U.S. or non-U.S. governmental or central bank actions, including increases or decreases in interest rates, or contrary actions by different governments, could negatively affect financial markets generally, increase market volatility and reduce the value and liquidity of securities in which the Fund invests. Policy and legislative changes in the U.S. and in other countries are affecting many aspects of financial regulation, and these and other events affecting global markets, such as the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union (or Brexit), potential trade imbalances with China or other countries, or sanctions or other government actions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies (or their countermeasures), may contribute to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. The impact of these changes on the markets, and the implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time.

Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, armed conflict including Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, terrorism, natural disasters, infectious illness or public health issues, cybersecurity events, supply chain disruptions, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, and other circumstances in one country or region could have profound impacts on other countries or regions and on global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments may be negatively affected. The Fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on any individual security or derivative position.

**LIBOR risk. LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) is used extensively in the U.S. and globally as a "benchmark" or "reference rate" for various commercial and financial contracts, including corporate and municipal bonds, bank loans, asset-backed and mortgage-related securities, and**

Pioneer Floating Rate Fund, Inc. \| Annual Report \| 11/30/2283

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

interest rate swaps and other derivatives. ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, ceased publication of most LIBOR settings on a representative basis at the end of 2021 and is expected to cease publication of a majority of U.S. dollar LIBOR settings on a representative basis after June 30, 2023. In addition, global regulators have announced that, with limited exceptions, no new LIBOR-based contracts should be entered into after 2021. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in most major currencies. Markets are developing in response to these new rates, but questions around liquidity in these rates and how to appropriately adjust these rates to eliminate any economic value transfer at the time of transition remain a significant concern. The effect of any changes to — or discontinuation of — LIBOR on the Fund will vary depending on, among other things, existing fallback provisions in individual contracts and whether, how, and when industry participants develop and widely adopt new reference rates and fallbacks for both legacy and new products and instruments. The transition process may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that rely on LIBOR. The transition may also result in a reduction in the value of certain LIBOR-based investments held by the Fund or reduce the effectiveness of related transactions such as hedges. Any such effects of the transition away from LIBOR, as well as other unforeseen effects, could result in losses for the Fund. Because the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark may deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur at any time.

**High yield or "junk" bond risk. Debt securities that are below investment grade, called "junk bonds," are speculative, have a higher risk of default or are already in default, tend to be less liquid and are more difficult to value than higher grade securities. Junk bonds tend to be volatile and more susceptible to adverse events and negative sentiments. These risks are more pronounced for securities that are already in default.**

**Interest rate risk. 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. In recent years interest rates and credit spreads in the U.S. have been at historic lows. The U.S. Federal Reserve has raised certain interest rates, and interest rates may continue to go up. 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**

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

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.

Rising interest rates can lead to increased default rates, as issuers of floating rate securities find themselves faced with higher payments. Unlike fixed rate securities, floating rate securities generally will not increase in value if interest rates decline. Changes in interest rates also will affect the amount of interest income the Fund earns on its floating rate investments.

**Credit risk. 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.**

**Prepayment or call risk. Many issuers have a right to prepay their securities. If interest rates fall, an issuer may exercise this right. If this happens, the Fund will not benefit from the rise in market price that normally accompanies a decline in interest rates, and will be forced to reinvest prepayment proceeds at a time when yields on securities available in the market are lower than the yield on the prepaid security. The Fund also may lose any premium it paid on the security.**

**Extension risk. During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of certain types of securities may be extended because of slower than expected principal payments. This may lock in a below market interest rate, increase the security's duration and reduce the value of the security.**

**Risk of illiquid investments. Certain securities and derivatives held by the Fund may be impossible or difficult to purchase, sell or unwind. Illiquid securities and derivatives also may be difficult to value. Liquidity risk may be magnified in an environment of interest rates or widening credit spreads. During times of market turmoil, there have been, and may be, no buyers or sellers for securities in entire asset classes. If the Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset or unwind a derivatives position, the Fund may suffer a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all.**

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

**Portfolio selection risk. The Adviser's judgment about the quality, relative yield, relative value or market trends affecting a particular sector or region, market segment, security, industry or about interest rates or other market factors may prove to be incorrect or may not produce the desired results, or there may be imperfections, errors or limitations in the models, tools and information used by the Adviser.**

**Reinvestment risk. Income from the Fund's portfolio will decline if the Fund invests the proceeds, repayment or sale of loans or other obligations into lower yielding instruments with a lower spread over the base lending rate. A decline in income could affect the common shares' distribution rate and their overall return.**

**Risks of investing in floating rate loans. Floating rate loans and similar investments may be illiquid or less liquid than other investments and difficult to value. Market quotations for these securities may be volatile and/or subject to large spreads between bid and ask prices. 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 trade settlement periods. An economic downturn generally leads to a higher non-payment rate, and a loan may lose significant value before a default occurs.**

When the Fund invests in a loan participation, the Fund does not have a direct claim against the borrower and must rely upon an intermediate participant to enforce any rights against the borrower. As a result, the Fund is subject to the risk that an intermediate participant between the Fund and the borrower will fail to meet its obligations to the Fund, in addition to the risk that the issuer of the loan will default on its obligations. Also the Fund may be regarded as the creditor of the agent lender (rather than the borrower), subjecting the Fund to the creditworthiness of the lender as well as the borrower.

There is less readily available, reliable information about most senior loans than is the case for many other types of securities. Although the features of senior loans, including being secured by collateral and having priority over other obligations of the issuer, reduce some of the risks of investment in below investment grade securities, the loans are subject to significant risks. the Adviser believes, based on its experience, that senior floating rate loans generally have more favorable loss recovery rates than most other types of below investment grade obligations. However, there can be no assurance that the Fund's actual loss recovery experience will be consistent with the Adviser's prior experience or that the senior loans in which the Fund invests will achieve any specific loss recovery rate.

86Pioneer Floating Rate Fund, Inc. \| Annual Report \| 11/30/22

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

Some of the loans in which the Fund may invest may be "covenant lite." Covenant lite loans contain fewer maintenance covenants, or no maintenance covenants at all, than traditional loans and may not include terms that allow the lender to monitor the financial performance of the borrower and declare a default if certain criteria are breached. This may expose the Fund to greater credit risk associated with the borrower and reduce the Fund's ability to restructure a problematic loan and mitigate potential loss. As a result the Fund's exposure to losses on such investments may be increased, especially during a downturn in the credit cycle.

Second lien loans generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with senior loans. Because second lien loans are subordinated or unsecured and thus lower in priority on payment to senior loans, they are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured obligations of the borrower. This risk is generally higher for subordinated unsecured loans or debt, which are not backed by a security interest in any specific collateral. Second lien loans generally have greater price volatility than senior loans and may be less liquid.

Certain floating rate loans and other corporate debt securities involve refinancings, recapitalizations, mergers and acquisitions, and other financings for general corporate purposes. Other loans are incurred in restructuring or "work-out" scenarios, including debtor-in-possession facilities in bankruptcy. Loans in restructuring or similar scenarios may be especially vulnerable to the inherent uncertainties in restructuring processes. In addition, the highly leveraged capital structure of the borrowers in any of these transactions, whether acquisition financing or restructuring, may make the loans especially vulnerable to adverse economic or market conditions and the risk of default.

Loans to entities located outside of the U.S. may have substantially different lender protections and covenants as compared to loans to U.S. entities and may involve greater risks. The Fund may have difficulties and incur expense enforcing its rights with respect to non-U.S. loans and such loans could be subject to bankruptcy laws that are materially different than in the U.S.

Because affiliates of the Adviser may participate in the primary and secondary market for senior loans, limitations under applicable law may restrict the Fund's ability to participate in a restructuring of a senior loan or to acquire some senior loans, or affect the timing or price of such

Pioneer Floating Rate Fund, Inc. \| Annual Report \| 11/30/2287

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

acquisition. 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.

**Collateral risk. The value of collateral, if any, securing a floating rate loan can decline, and may be insufficient to meet the issuer's obligations or may be difficult to liquidate. In addition, the Fund's access to collateral may be limited by bankruptcy or other insolvency laws. These laws may be less developed and more cumbersome with respect to the Fund's non-U.S. floating rate investments. Floating rate loans may not be fully collateralized or may be uncollateralized. Uncollateralized loans involve a greater risk of loss. In the event of a default, the Fund may have difficulty collecting on any collateral and would not have the ability to collect on any collateral for an uncollateralized loan. In addition, the lender's security interest or their enforcement of their security interest under the loan agreement may be found by a court to be invalid or the collateral may be used to pay other outstanding obligations of the borrower. Further, the Fund's access to collateral, if any, may be limited by bankruptcy law. To the extent that a loan is collateralized by stock of the borrower or its affiliates, this stock may lose all or substantially all of its value in the event of bankruptcy of the borrower. Loans that are obligations of a holding company are subject to the risk that, in a bankruptcy of a subsidiary operating company, creditors of the subsidiary may recover from the subsidiary's assets before the lenders to the holding company would receive any amount on account of the holding company's interest in the subsidiary.**

**Risk of disadvantaged access to confidential information. The issuer of a floating rate loan may offer to provide material, non-public information about the issuer to investors, such as the Fund. Normally, the Adviser will seek to avoid receiving this type of information about the issuer of a loan either held by, or considered for investment by, the Fund. the Adviser's decision not to receive the information may place it at a disadvantage, relative to other loan investors, in assessing a loan or the loan's issuer. For example, in instances where holders of floating rate loans are asked to grant amendments, waivers or consents, the Adviser's inability to assess the impact of these actions may adversely affect the value of the portfolio. For this and other reasons, it is possible that the Adviser's decision not to receive material, non-public information under normal circumstances could adversely affect the Fund's investment performance.**

**Risks of subordinated securities. A holder of securities that are subordinated or "junior" to more senior securities of an issuer is entitled to payment after holders of more senior securities of the issuer. Subordinated**

securities are more likely to suffer a credit loss than non-subordinated securities of the same issuer, any loss incurred by the subordinated securities is likely to be proportionately greater, and any recovery of interest or principal may take more time. If there is a default, bankruptcy or liquidation of the issuer, most subordinated securities are paid only if sufficient assets remain after payment of the issuer's non-subordinated securities. As a result, even a perceived decline in creditworthiness of the issuer is likely to have a greater impact on subordinated securities than more senior securities.

**Issuer risk. The value of corporate income-producing securities may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods and services.**

**U.S. Treasury obligations risk. The market value of direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury may vary due to changes in interest rates. In addition, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of the Fund's investments in obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury to decline.**

**U.S. government agency obligations risk. The Fund invests in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government. Government-sponsored entities such as Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs), although chartered or sponsored by Congress, are not funded by congressional appropriations and the debt and mortgage-backed securities issued by them are neither guaranteed nor issued by the U.S. government. The maximum potential liability of the issuers of some U.S. government obligations may greatly exceed their current resources, including any legal right to support from the U.S. government. Such debt and mortgage-backed securities are subject to the risk of default on the payment of interest and/or principal, similar to debt of private issuers. Although the U.S. government has provided financial support to FNMA and FHLMC in the past, there can be no assurance that it will support these or other government-sponsored entities in the future.**

**Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities risk. The value of mortgage-related securities, including commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage-backed securities, credit risk transfer securities, 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.

**Risks of investing in collateralized debt obligations. Investment in a collateralized debt obligation (CDO) is subject to the credit, subordination, interest rate, valuation, prepayment, extension and other risks of the obligations underlying the CDO and the tranche of the CDO in which the Fund invests. CDOs are subject to liquidity risk. Synthetic CDOs are also subject to the risks of investing in derivatives, such as credit default swaps, and leverage risk.**

**Risks of instruments that allow for balloon payments or negative amortization payments. Certain debt instruments allow for balloon payments or negative amortization payments. Such instruments permit the borrower to avoid paying currently a portion of the interest accruing on the instrument. While these features make the debt instrument more affordable to the borrower in the near term, they increase the risk that the borrower will be unable to make the resulting higher payment or payments that become due at the maturity of the loan.**

**Risks of investing in insurance-linked securities. The Fund could lose a portion or all of the principal it has invested in an insurance-linked security, and the right to additional interest and/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 may include natural or other perils 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. Natural perils include disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, windstorms, fires, floods and other weather-related occurrences, as well as mortality or longevity events. Non-natural perils include disasters resulting**

from human-related activity such as commercial and industrial accidents or business interruptions. Major natural disasters (such as in the cases of Super Typhoon Goni in the Philippines in 2020, monsoon flooding in China in 2020, Hurricane Irma in Florida and the Caribbean in 2017, Super Storm Sandy in 2012, and Hurricane Ian in Florida in 2022) or commercial and industrial accidents (such as aviation disasters and oil spills) can result in significant losses, and investors in ILS with exposure to such natural or other disasters may also experience substantial losses. If the likelihood and severity of natural and other large disasters increase, the risk of significant losses to reinsurers may increase. Typically, one significant triggering event (even in a major metropolitan area) will not result in financial failure to a reinsurer. However, a series of major triggering events could cause the failure of a reinsurer. Similarly, to the extent the Fund invests in ILS for which a triggering event occurs, losses associated with such event will result in losses to the Fund and a series of major triggering events affecting a large portion of the ILS held by the Fund will result in substantial losses to the Fund. The Fund may also invest in insurance-linked securities that are subject to "indemnity triggers." An indemnity trigger is a trigger based on the actual losses of the ceding sponsor (i.e., the party seeking reinsurance). Insurance-linked securities subject to indemnity triggers are often regarded as being subject to potential moral hazard, since such insurance-linked securities are triggered by actual losses of the ceding sponsor and the ceding sponsor may have an incentive to take actions and/or risks that would have an adverse effect on the Fund. For example, a ceding sponsor might inflate its total claims paid above the ILS trigger level in order to share its losses with investors in the ILS. Thus, bonds with indemnity triggers may be subject to moral hazard, because the trigger depends on the ceding sponsor to properly identify and calculate losses that do and do not apply in determining whether the trigger amount has been reached. In short, "moral hazard" refers to this potential for the sponsor to influence bond performance, as payouts are based on the individual policy claims against the sponsor and the way the sponsor settles those claims. There is no way to accurately predict whether a trigger event will occur and, accordingly, event-linked bonds and other insurance-linked securities carry significant risk. In addition to the specified trigger events, insurance-linked securities may expose the Fund to other risks, including but not limited to issuer (credit) default, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations and adverse tax consequences. Insurance-linked securities are also subject to the risk that the model used to calculate the probability of a trigger event was not accurate and underestimated the likelihood of a trigger event. Insurance-linked securities may provide for extensions of maturity in order to process and audit loss claims in those cases when a trigger event has, or possibly has, occurred.

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

Certain insurance-linked securities may have limited liquidity, or may be illiquid. Upon the occurrence or possible occurrence of a trigger event, and until the completion of the processing and auditing of applicable loss claims, the Fund's investment in an insurance-linked security may be priced using fair value methods. Lack of a liquid market may impose the risk of higher transaction costs and the possibility that the Fund may be forced to liquidate positions when it would not be advantageous to do so. Certain insurance-linked securities represent interests in baskets of underlying reinsurance contracts. The Fund has limited transparency into the individual contracts underlying certain insurance-linked securities, and therefore must rely on the risk assessment and sound underwriting practices of the insurer and/or reinsurer. Certain insurance-linked securities may be difficult to value.

**Risks of zero coupon bonds, payment in kind, deferred and contingent payment securities. These securities may be more speculative and may fluctuate more in value than securities which pay income periodically and in cash. In addition, although the Fund receives no periodic cash payments on such securities, the Fund is deemed for tax purposes to receive income from such securities, which applicable tax rules require the Fund to distribute to shareholders. Such distributions may be taxable when distributed to shareholders**

**Risks of non-U.S. investments. Investing in non-U.S. issuers, or in U.S. issuers that have significant exposure to foreign markets, may involve unique risks compared to investing in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks are more pronounced for issuers in emerging markets or to the extent that the Fund invests significantly in one region or country. These risks may include different financial reporting practices and regulatory standards, less liquid trading markets, extreme price volatility, currency risks, changes in economic, political, regulatory and social conditions, military conflicts and sanctions, terrorism, sustained economic downturns, financial instability, reduction of government or central bank support, inadequate accounting standards, tariffs, tax disputes or other tax burdens, nationalization or expropriation of assets, 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. Emerging market economies tend to be less diversified than those of more developed countries. They typically have fewer medical and economic resources than more developed countries and thus they may be less able to control or mitigate the effects of a pandemic. Investing in depositary receipts is subject to many of the**

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

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.

A number of countries in the European Union (EU) have experienced, and may continue to experience, severe economic and financial difficulties. In addition, the United Kingdom has withdrawn from the EU (commonly known as "Brexit"). Other countries may seek to withdraw from the EU and/or abandon the euro, the common currency of the EU. The exit by the United Kingdom or other member states will likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected markets, which will adversely affect the Fund's investments. If one or more stockholders of a supranational entity such as the World Bank fail to make necessary additional capital contributions, the entity may be unable to pay interest or repay principal on its debt securities.

Sanctions or other government actions against certain countries could negatively impact the Fund's investments in securities that have exposure to that country. Circumstances that impact one country could have profound impacts on other countries and on global economies or markets. China and other developing market countries may be subject to considerable degrees of economic, political and social instability. In addition, the U.S. government has imposed restrictions on U.S. investor participation in certain Chinese investments. These matters could adversely affect China's economy.

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 have 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.

**Currency risk. The Fund could experience losses based on changes in the exchange rate between non-U.S. currencies and the U.S. dollar or as a result of currency conversion costs. Currency exchange rates can be volatile, and are affected by factors such as general economic conditions, the actions of the U.S. and foreign governments or central banks, the imposition of currency controls and speculation.**

**Risks of convertible securities. The market values of convertible securities tend to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, to increase as interest rates decline. A downturn in equity markets may cause the price of convertible securities to decrease relative to other fixed income securities.**

**Preferred stocks risk. Preferred stocks may pay fixed or adjustable rates of return. Preferred stocks are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. In addition, a company's preferred stocks generally pay dividends only after the company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. Thus, the value of preferred stocks will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company's financial condition or prospects. The market value of preferred stocks generally decreases when interest rates rise. Preferred stocks of smaller companies may be more vulnerable to adverse developments than preferred stocks of larger companies.**

**Risks of investment in other funds. Investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and closed-end funds, subjects the Fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those funds. When investing in another fund, the Fund will bear a pro rata portion of the underlying fund's expenses, including management fees, in addition to its own expenses. ETFs and closed-end funds are bought and sold based on market prices and can trade at a premium or a discount to the ETF's or closed-end fund's net asset value.**

**Derivatives risk. Using swaps, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, bond and interest rate futures and other derivatives can increase Fund losses and reduce opportunities for gains when market prices, interest rates or the derivative instruments themselves behave in a way not anticipated by the Fund. Using derivatives may increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value and may not provide the result intended. Derivatives may have a leveraging effect on the Fund. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. Derivatives are generally subject to the risks applicable to the assets, rates, indices or other indicators underlying the derivative. Changes in a derivative's value may not correlate well with the referenced**

94Pioneer Floating Rate Fund, Inc. \| Annual Report \| 11/30/22

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

asset or metric. The Fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations. Derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty may default on its obligations to the Fund. Use of derivatives may have different tax consequences for the Fund than an investment in the underlying security, and such differences may affect the amount, timing and character of income distributed to shareholders. The U.S. government and foreign governments have adopted and implemented or are in the process of adopting and implementing regulations governing derivatives markets, including mandatory clearing of certain derivatives, margin and reporting requirements. The ultimate impact of the regulations remains unclear. Additional regulation of derivatives may make them more costly, limit their availability or utility, otherwise adversely affect their performance or disrupt markets.

**Credit default swap risk. Credit default swap contracts, a type of derivative instrument, involve special risks and may result in losses to the Fund. Credit default swaps may in some cases be illiquid, and they increase credit risk since the Fund has exposure to the issuer of the referenced obligation and either the counterparty to the credit default swap or, if it is a cleared transaction, the brokerage firm through which the trade was cleared and the clearing organization that is the counterparty to that trade.**

**Structured securities risk. Structured securities may behave in ways not anticipated by the Fund, or they may not receive the tax, accounting or regulatory treatment anticipated by the Fund.**

**Forward foreign currency transactions risk. The Fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on forward foreign currency transactions if changes in currency rates do not occur as anticipated or do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the Fund's holdings, or if the counterparty defaults. Such transactions may also prevent the Fund from realizing profits on favorable movements in exchange rates. Risk of counterparty default is greater for counterparties located in emerging markets.**

**Leveraging risk. The value of your investment may be more volatile and other risks tend to be compounded if the Fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments, such as ETFs, that have embedded leverage. Leverage generally magnifies the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund's underlying assets and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the Fund would otherwise have, potentially resulting in the loss of all assets. Engaging in such transactions may cause the Fund to liquidate positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations. New derivatives regulations require the Fund, to the extent it**

Pioneer Floating Rate Fund, Inc. \| Annual Report \| 11/30/2295

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

uses derivatives to a material extent, to, among other things, comply with certain overall limits on leverage. These regulations may limit the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment strategies and may not be effective to mitigate the Fund's risk of loss from derivatives.

The Fund may use financial leverage on an ongoing basis for investment purposes by borrowing from banks through a revolving credit facility. The fees and expenses attributed to leverage, including any increase in the management fees, will be borne by holders of common shares. Since the Adviser's fee is based on a percentage of the Fund's managed assets, its fee will be higher if the Fund is leveraged, and the Adviser will thus have an incentive to leverage the Fund.

**Repurchase agreement risk. In the event that the other party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations, the Fund may encounter delay and incur costs before being able to sell the security. Such a delay may involve loss of interest or a decline in price of the security. In addition, if the Fund is characterized by a court as an unsecured creditor, it would be at risk of losing some or all of the principal and interest involved in the transaction.**

**Market segment risk. To the extent the Fund emphasizes, from time to time, investments in a market segment, the Fund will be subject to a greater degree to the risks particular to that segment, and may experience greater market fluctuation than a fund without the same focus.**

Industries in the financial segment, such as banks, insurance companies and broker-dealers, may be sensitive to changes in interest rates and general economic activity and are generally subject to extensive government regulation.

**Valuation risk. Nearly all of the Fund's investments are valued using a fair value methodology. The sales price the Fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Fund's valuation of the investment, particularly for illiquid securities and securities that trade in thin or volatile markets. These differences may increase significantly and affect Fund investments more broadly during periods of market volatility. The Fund's ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third party service providers.**

**Cybersecurity risk. Cybersecurity failures by and breaches of the Fund's Adviser, transfer agent, custodian, Fund accounting agent or other service providers may disrupt Fund operations, interfere with the Fund's ability to calculate its NAV, prevent Fund shareholders from purchasing or selling**

shares or receiving distributions or receiving timely information regarding the Fund or their investment in the Fund, cause loss of or unauthorized access to private shareholder information, and result in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, or additional compliance costs. Substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.

**Cash management risk. The value of the investments held by the Fund for cash management or temporary defensive purposes may be affected by market risks, changing interest rates and by changes in credit ratings of the investments. To the extent that the Fund has any uninvested cash, the Fund would be subject to credit risk with respect to the depository institution holding the cash. If the Fund holds cash uninvested, the Fund will not earn income on the cash and the Fund's yield will go down. During such periods, it may be more difficult for the Fund to achieve its investment objective.**

**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 shareholders with a high level of current income. 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 shareholders 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, however, that such provisions will be sufficient to deter activist investors that seek to cause the Fund to take actions that may not be aligned with the interests of long-term shareholders.**

Please note that there are many other factors that could adversely affect your investment and that could prevent the Fund from achieving its goals. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

#### INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The following are the Fund's fundamental investment restrictions. These restrictions, along with the Fund's investment objectives, may not be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the Fund's

outstanding voting securities (which for this purpose and under the 1940 Act means the lesser of (i) 67% of the common shares represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding common shares are represented or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding common shares).

The Fund may not:

(1) Issue senior securities, other than as permitted by the 1940 Act.

(2) Borrow money, other than as permitted by the 1940 Act.

(3) Invest in real estate, except the Fund may invest in securities of issuers that invest in real estate or interests therein, securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein, securities of real estate investment trusts, mortgage-backed securities and other securities that represent a similar indirect interest in real estate, and the Fund may acquire real estate or interests therein through exercising rights or remedies with regard to an instrument.

(5) Invest in commodities or commodity contracts, except that the Fund may invest in currency instruments and contracts and financial instruments and contracts that might be deemed to be commodities and commodity contracts.

(6) Act as an underwriter, except insofar as the Fund technically may be deemed to be an underwriter in connection with the purchase or sale of its portfolio securities.

(7) Invest 25% or more of the value of its total assets in any one industry, provided that this limitation does not apply to the purchase of obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

### Effects of Leverage
The following table is furnished in response to requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is designed to illustrate the effects of leverage on common share total return, assuming investment portfolio total returns (consisting of income and changes in the value of investments held in the Fund's portfolio) of -10%, -5%, 0%, 5% and 10%. The table below reflects the Fund's borrowings under a credit agreement as a percentage of the Fund's total assets (which includes the amounts of leverage obtained through such borrowings), the annual rate of interest on the borrowings as of November 30, 2022, and the annual return that the Fund's portfolio must experience (net of expenses) in order to cover such costs. The information below does not reflect the Fund's use of certain other forms of economic leverage achieved through the use of other instruments or transactions not considered to be senior securities under the 1940 Act, such as covered credit default swaps or other derivative instruments.

The assumed investment portfolio returns in the table below are hypothetical figures and are not necessarily indicative of the investment portfolio returns experienced or expected to be experienced by the Fund. Your actual returns may be greater or less than those appearing below. In addition, actual borrowing expenses associated with borrowings by the Fund may vary frequently and may be significantly higher or lower than the rate used for the example below.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Borrowings under Credit Agreement as a percentage of total managed assets<br> (including assets attributable to borrowings) | 32.42% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Annual effective interest rate payable by Fund on borrowings | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.25% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Annual return Fund portfolio must experience (net of expenses) to cover interest rate on borrowings | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0.73% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Common share total return for (10.00)% assumed portfolio total return | &nbsp;&nbsp;(15.88)% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Common share total return for (5.00)% assumed portfolio total return | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8.48)% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Common share total return for 0.00% assumed portfolio total return | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1.08)% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Common share total return for 5.00% assumed portfolio total return | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.32% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Common share total return for 10.00% assumed portfolio total return | 13.72% |

---

Common share total return is composed of two elements - investment income net of the Fund's expenses, including any interest/dividends on assets resulting from leverage, and gains or losses on the value of the securities the Fund owns. As required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the table assumes that the Fund is more likely to suffer capital losses than to enjoy capital appreciation. For example, to assume a

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

total return of 0%, the Fund must assume that the income it receives on its investments is entirely offset by losses in the value of those investments.

This table reflects hypothetical performance of the Fund's portfolio and not the performance of the Fund's common shares, the value of which will be determined by market forces and other factors.

Should the Fund elect to add additional leverage to its portfolio, the potential benefits of leveraging the Fund's shares cannot be fully achieved until the proceeds resulting from the use of leverage have been received by the Fund and invested in accordance with the Fund's investment objective and principal investment strategies. The Fund's willingness to use additional leverage, and the extent to which leverage is used at any time, will depend on many factors, including, among other things, the Adviser's assessment of the yield curve environment, interest rate trends, market conditions and other factors.

### Approval of Renewal of Investment Management Agreement
Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US") serves as the investment adviser to Pioneer Floating Rate 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 2022 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 2022, July 2022 and September 2022. 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 2022, 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 2022, 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 2022.

At a meeting held on September 20, 2022, 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

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

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 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 the effectiveness of Amundi US's business continuity plan in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

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

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

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 first 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 first quintile (including investment-related expenses) and in the second quintile (excluding investment-related expenses), in each case 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,

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

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.

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Amund_1e40f687-4024-4846-bb0e-1eed851f3885_TOC)

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 $2.2 trillion in assets (including the Pioneer Funds). The Directors considered that Amundi US's relationship with Amundi creates potential opportunities for Amundi US and Amundi that derive from Amundi US's relationships with the Fund, including Amundi's ability to market the services of Amundi US globally. 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 enhanced global presence that may contribute to an increase in the resources available to Amundi US. 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.

GENERAL AUDIT COMMITTEE APPROVAL POLICY:

• For all projects, the officers of the Funds and the Fund's auditors will each make an assessment to determine that any proposed projects will not impair independence.

• Potential services will be classified into the four non-restricted service categories and the "Approval of Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and Other Services" Policy above will be applied. Any services outside the specific pre-approved service subcategories set forth above must be specifically approved by the Audit Committee.

• At least quarterly, the Audit Committee shall review a report summarizing the services by service category, including fees, provided by the Audit firm as set forth in the above policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Disclose the percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Beginning with non-audit service contracts entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the effective date of the new SEC pre-approval rules, the Trust's audit committee is required to pre-approve services to affiliates defined by SEC rules to the extent that the services are determined to have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the Fund. For the years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no services provided to an affiliate that required the Trust's audit committee pre-approval (f) If greater than 50 percent, disclose the percentage of hours expended on the principal accountants engagement to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees.

N/A

(g) Disclose the aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrants accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrants investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant.

The Fund paid aggregate non-audit fees to Ernst & Young LLP for tax services of $10,213 and $9,500 during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(h) Disclose whether the registrants audit committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrants investment adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.

The Fund's audit committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Affiliates (as defined) that were not pre- approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.

------

Proxy voting policies and procedures

#### Policy
Each of the Pioneer Funds and certain other clients of Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. ("Amundi US") have delegated responsibility to vote proxies related to portfolio holdings to Amundi US. Amundi US is a fiduciary that owes each of its clients the duties of care and loyalty with respect to all services undertaken on the client's behalf, including voting proxies for securities held by the client. When Amundi US has been delegated proxy-voting authority for a client, the duty of care requires Amundi US to monitor corporate events and to vote the proxies. To satisfy its duty of loyalty, Amundi US must place the client's interests ahead of its own and must cast proxy votes in a manner consistent with the best interest of the client. It is Amundi US's policy to vote proxies presented to Amundi US in a timely manner in accordance with these principles.

Amundi US's sole concern in voting proxies is the economic effect of the proposal on the value of portfolio holdings, considering both the short- and long-term impact. In many instances, Amundi US believes that supporting the company's strategy and voting "for" management's proposals builds portfolio value. In other cases, however, proposals set forth by management may have a negative effect on that value, while some shareholder proposals may hold the best prospects for enhancing it. Amundi US monitors developments in the proxy voting arena and will revise this policy as needed.

Amundi US believes that environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors can affect companies' long-term prospects for success and the sustainability of their business models. Since ESG factors that may affect corporate performance and economic value are considered by our investment professionals as part of the investment management process, Amundi US also considers these factors when reviewing proxy proposals. This approach is consistent with the stated investment objectives and policies of funds and investment strategies.

It should be noted that the proxy voting guidelines below are guidelines, not rules, and Amundi US reserves the right in all cases to vote contrary to guidelines where doing so is determined to represent the best economic interests of our clients. Further, the Pioneer Funds or other clients of Amundi US may direct Amundi US to vote contrary to guidelines.

Amundi US's clients may request copies of their proxy voting records and of Amundi US's proxy voting policies and procedures by either sending a written request to Amundi US's Proxy Coordinator, or clients may review Amundi US's proxy voting policies and procedures on-line at amundi.com/usinvestors. Amundi US may describe to clients its proxy voting policies and procedures by delivering a copy of Amundi US's Form ADV (Part II), by separate notice to the client or by other means.

#### Applicability
This Proxy Voting policy and the procedures set forth below are designed to complement Amundi US's investment policies and procedures regarding its general responsibility to monitor the performance and/or corporate events of companies that are issuers of securities held in accounts managed by Amundi US. This policy sets forth Amundi US's position on a number of issues for which proxies may be solicited but it does not include all potential voting scenarios or proxy events. Furthermore, because of the special issues associated with proxy solicitations by closed-end Funds, Amundi US will vote shares of closed-end Funds on a case-by-case basis.

#### Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that proxies for United States ("US") and non-US companies that are received in a timely manner will be voted in accordance with the principles stated above. Unless the Proxy Voting Oversight Group (as described below) specifically determines otherwise, all shares in a company held by Amundi US-managed accounts for which Amundi US has proxy-voting authority will be voted alike, unless a client has given specific voting instructions on an issue.

Amundi US does not delegate the authority to vote proxies relating to securities held by its clients to any of its affiliates. Any questions about this policy should be directed to Amundi US's Chief of Staff, US Investment Management (the "Proxy Coordinator").

------

#### Procedures

#### Proxy Voting Service
Amundi US has engaged an independent proxy voting service to assist in the voting of proxies. The proxy voting service works with custodians to ensure that all proxy materials are received by the custodians and are processed in a timely fashion. The proxy voting service votes all proxies in accordance with the proxy voting guidelines established by Amundi US and set forth herein, to the extent applicable. The proxy voting service will refer proxy questions to the Proxy Coordinator (described below) for instructions under circumstances where: (1) the application of the proxy voting guidelines is unclear; (2) a particular proxy question is not covered by the guidelines; or (3) the guidelines call for specific instructions on a case-by-case basis. The proxy voting service is also requested to call to the Proxy Coordinator's attention specific proxy questions that, while governed by a guideline, appear to involve unusual or controversial issues. Amundi US reserves the right to attend a meeting in person and may do so when it determines that the company or the matters to be voted on at the meeting are strategically important to its clients.

To supplement its own research and analysis in determining how to vote on a particular proxy proposal, Amundi US may utilize research, analysis or recommendations provided by the proxy voting service on a case-by-case basis. Amundi US does not, as a policy, follow the assessments or recommendations provided by the proxy voting service without its own analysis and determination.

#### Proxy Coordinator
The Proxy Coordinator coordinates the voting, procedures and reporting of proxies on behalf of Amundi US's clients. The Proxy Coordinator will deal directly with the proxy voting service and, in the case of proxy questions referred by the proxy voting service, will solicit voting recommendations and instructions from the Portfolio Management Group, or, to the extent applicable, investment sub-advisers. The Proxy Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that these questions and referrals are responded to in a timely fashion and for transmitting appropriate voting instructions to the proxy voting service. The Proxy Coordinator is responsible for verifying with the General Counsel or his or her designee whether Amundi US's voting power is subject to any limitations or guidelines issued by the client (or in the case of an employee benefit plan, the plan's director or other fiduciaries).

#### Referral Items
The proxy voting service will refer proxy questions to the Proxy Coordinator or his or her designee that are described by Amundi US's proxy voting guidelines as to be voted on a case-by-case basis, that are not covered by Amundi US's guidelines or where Amundi US's guidelines may be unclear with respect to the matter to be voted on. Under such circumstances, the Proxy Coordinator will seek a written voting recommendation from the Chief Investment Officer, U.S. or his or her designated equity portfolio-management representative. Any such recommendation will include: (i) the manner in which the proxies should be voted; (ii) the rationale underlying any such decision; and (iii) the disclosure of any contacts or communications made between Amundi US and any outside parties concerning the proxy proposal prior to the time that the voting instructions are provided.

#### Securities Lending
In accordance with industry standards, proxies are not available to be voted when the shares are out on loan through either Amundi US's lending program or a client's managed security lending program. However, Amundi US will reserve the right to recall lent securities so that they may be voted according to Amundi US's instructions. If a portfolio manager would like to vote a block of previously lent shares, the Proxy Coordinator will work with the portfolio manager and Investment Operations to recall the security, to the extent possible, to facilitate the vote on the entire block of shares. Certain clients participate in securities lending programs. Although such programs allow for the recall of securities for any reason, Amundi US may determine not to vote securities on loan and it may not always be possible for securities on loan to be recalled in time to be voted.

#### Share-Blocking
"Share-blocking" is a market practice whereby shares are sent to a custodian (which may be different than the account custodian) for record keeping and voting at the general meeting. The shares are unavailable for sale or delivery until the end of the blocking period (typically the day after general meeting date).

------

Amundi US will vote in those countries with "share-blocking." In the event a manager would like to sell a security with "share-blocking", the Proxy Coordinator will work with the Portfolio Manager and Investment Operations Department to recall the shares (as allowable within the market time-frame and practices) and/or communicate with executing brokerage firm. A list of countries with "share-blocking" is available from the Investment Operations Department upon request.

#### Proxy Voting Oversight Group
The members of the Proxy Voting Oversight Group include Amundi US's Chief Investment Officer, U.S. or his or her designated equity portfolio management representative, the Chief of Staff, U.S., and the Chief Compliance Officer of the Adviser and Funds. Other members of Amundi US will be invited to attend meetings and otherwise participate as necessary. The Chief of Staff, U.S. will chair the Proxy Voting Oversight Group.

The Proxy Voting Oversight Group is responsible for developing, evaluating, and changing (when necessary) Amundi US's proxy voting policies and procedures. The Group meets at least annually to evaluate and review this policy and the services of its third-party proxy voting service. In addition, the Proxy Voting Oversight Group will meet as necessary to vote on referral items and address other business as necessary.

#### Amendments
Amundi US may not amend this policy without the prior approval of the Proxy Voting Oversight Group.

#### Form N-PX
The Proxy Coordinator and the Director of Regulatory Reporting are responsible for ensuring that Form N-PX documents receive the proper review by a member of the Proxy Voting Oversight Group prior to a Fund officer signing the forms.

The Investment Operations department will provide the Compliance department with a copy of each Form N-PX filing prepared by the proxy voting service.

Compliance files N-PX. The Compliance department will ensure that a corresponding Form N-PX exists for each Amundi US registered investment company.

Following this review, each Form N-PX is formatted for public dissemination via the EDGAR system.

Prior to submission, each Form N-PX is to be presented to the Fund officer for a final review and signature.

Copies of the Form N-PX filings and their submission receipts are maintained according to Amundi US record keeping policies.

#### Proxy Voting Guidelines

#### Administrative
While administrative items appear infrequently in U.S. issuer proxies, they are quite common in non-U.S. proxies.

We will generally support these and similar management proposals:

• Corporate name change.

• A change of corporate headquarters.

• Stock exchange listing.

• Establishment of time and place of annual meeting.

• Adjournment or postponement of annual meeting.

• Acceptance/approval of financial statements.

• Approval of dividend payments, dividend reinvestment plans and other dividend-related proposals.

• Approval of minutes and other formalities.

------

• Authorization of the transferring of reserves and allocation of income.

• Amendments to authorized signatories.

• Approval of accounting method changes or change in fiscal year-end.

• Acceptance of labor agreements.

• Appointment of internal auditors.

Amundi US will vote on a case-by-case basis on other routine administrative items; however, Amundi US will oppose any routine proposal if insufficient information is presented in advance to allow Amundi US to judge the merit of the proposal. Amundi US has also instructed its proxy voting service to inform Amundi US of its analysis of any administrative items that may be inconsistent, in its view, with Amundi US's goal of supporting the value of its clients' portfolio holdings so that Amundi US may consider and vote on those items on a case-by-case basis in its discretion.

#### Auditors
We normally vote for proposals to:

Ratify the auditors. We will consider a vote against if we are concerned about the auditors' independence or their past work for the company. Specifically, we will oppose the ratification of auditors and withhold votes for audit committee members if non-audit fees paid by the company to the auditing firm exceed the sum of audit fees plus audit-related fees plus permissible tax fees according to the disclosure categories proposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

• Restore shareholder rights to ratify the auditors.

We will normally oppose proposals that require companies to:

• Seek bids from other auditors.

• Rotate auditing firms, except where the rotation is statutorily required or where rotation would demonstrably strengthen financial disclosure.

• Indemnify auditors.

• Prohibit auditors from engaging in non-audit services for the company.

#### Board of Directors
On issues related to the board of directors, Amundi US normally supports management. We will, however, consider a vote against management in instances where corporate performance has been poor or where the board appears to lack independence.

#### General Board Issues
Amundi US will vote for:

• Audit, compensation and nominating committees composed of independent directors exclusively.

• Indemnification for directors for actions taken in good faith in accordance with the business judgment rule. We will vote against proposals for broader indemnification.

• Changes in board size that appear to have a legitimate business purpose and are not primarily for anti-takeover reasons.

• Election of an honorary director.

We will vote against:

• Minimum stock ownership by directors.

• Term limits for directors. Companies benefit from experienced directors, and shareholder control is better achieved through annual votes.

• Requirements for union or special interest representation on the board.

• Requirements to provide two candidates for each board seat.

We will vote on a case-by case basis on these issues:

• Separate chairman and CEO positions. We will consider voting with shareholders on these issues in cases of poor corporate performance.

------

#### Elections of Directors
In uncontested elections of directors we will vote against:

• Individual directors with absenteeism above 25% without valid reason. We support proposals that require disclosure of director attendance.

• Insider directors and affiliated outsiders who sit on the audit, compensation, stock option or nominating committees. For the purposes of our policy, we use the definition of affiliated directors provided by our proxy voting service.

We will also vote against:

• Directors who have failed to act on a takeover offer where the majority of shareholders have tendered their shares.

• Directors who appear to lack independence or are associated with poor corporate or governance performance.

We will vote on a case-by case basis on these issues:

Re-election of directors who have implemented or renewed a dead hand or modified dead-hand poison pill (a "dead-hand poison pill" is a shareholder rights plan that may be altered only by incumbent or "dead" directors. These plans prevent a potential acquirer from disabling a poison pill by obtaining control of the board through a proxy vote).

• Contested election of directors.

• Election of a greater number of independent directors (in order to move closer to a majority of independent directors) in cases of poor performance.

• Mandatory retirement policies.

• Directors who have ignored a shareholder proposal that has been approved by shareholders for two consecutive years.

We will vote for:

• Precatory and binding resolutions requesting that the board changes the company's bylaws to stipulate that directors need to be elected with affirmative majority of votes cast, provided that the resolutions allow for plurality voting in cases of contested elections.

#### Takeover-Related Measures
Amundi US is generally opposed to proposals that may discourage takeover attempts. We believe that the potential for a takeover helps ensure that corporate performance remains high.

Amundi US will vote for:

• Cumulative voting.

• Increasing the ability for shareholders to call special meetings.

• Increasing the ability for shareholders to act by written consent.

• Restrictions on the ability to make greenmail payments.

• Submitting rights plans to shareholder vote.

• Rescinding shareholder rights plans ("poison pills").

• Opting out of the following state takeover statutes:

• Control share acquisition statutes, which deny large holders voting rights on holdings over a specified threshold.

• Control share cash-out provisions, which require large holders to acquire shares from other holders.

• Freeze-out provisions, which impose a waiting period on large holders before they can attempt to gain control.

• Stakeholder laws, which permit directors to consider interests of non-shareholder constituencies.

• Disgorgement provisions, which require acquirers to disgorge profits on purchases made before gaining control.

• Fair price provisions.

------

• Authorization of shareholder rights plans.

• Labor protection provisions.

• Mandatory classified boards.

We will vote on a case-by-case basis on the following issues:

• Fair price provisions. We will vote against provisions requiring supermajority votes to approve takeovers. We will also consider voting against proposals that require a supermajority vote to repeal or amend the provision. Finally, we will consider the mechanism used to determine the fair price; we are generally opposed to complicated formulas or requirements to pay a premium.

• Opting out of state takeover statutes regarding fair price provisions. We will use the criteria used for fair price provisions in general to determine our vote on this issue.

• Proposals that allow shareholders to nominate directors.

We will vote against:

• Classified boards, except in the case of closed-end funds, where we shall vote on a case-by-case basis.

• Limiting shareholder ability to remove or appoint directors. We will support proposals to restore shareholder authority in this area. We will review on case-by-case basis proposals that authorize the board to make interim appointments.

• Classes of shares with unequal voting rights.

• Supermajority vote requirements.

• Severance packages ("golden" and "tin" parachutes). We will support proposals to put these packages to shareholder vote.

• Reimbursement of dissident proxy solicitation expenses. While we ordinarily support measures that encourage takeover bids, we believe that management should have full control over corporate funds.

• Extension of advance notice requirements for shareholder proposals.

• Granting board authority normally retained by shareholders, particularly the right to amend the corporate charter.

• Shareholder rights plans ("poison pills"). These plans generally allow shareholders to buy additional shares at a below-market price in the event of a change in control and may deter some bids.

#### Capital Structure
Managements need considerable flexibility in determining the company's financial structure, and Amundi US normally supports managements' proposals in this area. We will, however, reject proposals that impose high barriers to potential takeovers.

Amundi US will vote for:

• Changes in par value.

• Reverse splits, if accompanied by a reduction in number of shares.

• Shares repurchase programs, if all shareholders may participate on equal terms.

• Bond issuance.

• Increases in "ordinary" preferred stock.

• Proposals to have blank-check common stock placements (other than shares issued in the normal course of business) submitted for shareholder approval.

• Cancellation of company treasury shares.

We will vote on a case-by-case basis on the following issues:

• Reverse splits not accompanied by a reduction in number of shares, considering the risk of delisting.

• Increase in authorized common stock. We will make a determination considering, among other factors:

• Number of shares currently available for issuance;

• Size of requested increase (we would normally approve increases of up to 100% of current authorization);

------

• Proposed use of the proceeds from the issuance of additional shares; and

• Potential consequences of a failure to increase the number of shares outstanding (e.g., delisting or bankruptcy).

• Blank-check preferred. We will normally oppose issuance of a new class of blank-check preferred, but may approve an increase in a class already outstanding if the company has demonstrated that it uses this flexibility appropriately.

• Proposals to submit private placements to shareholder vote.

• Other financing plans.

We will vote against preemptive rights that we believe limit a company's financing flexibility.

#### Compensation
Amundi US supports compensation plans that link pay to shareholder returns and believes that management has the best understanding of the level of compensation needed to attract and retain qualified people. At the same time, stock-related compensation plans have a significant economic impact and a direct effect on the balance sheet. Therefore, while we do not want to micromanage a company's compensation programs, we place limits on the potential dilution these plans may impose.

Amundi US will vote for:

• 401(k) benefit plans.

• Employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs), as long as shares allocated to ESOPs are less than 5% of outstanding shares. Larger blocks of stock in ESOPs can serve as a takeover defense. We will support proposals to submit ESOPs to shareholder vote.

• Various issues related to the Omnibus Budget and Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA), including:

• Amendments to performance plans to conform with OBRA;

• Caps on annual grants or amendments of administrative features;

• Adding performance goals; and

• Cash or cash-and-stock bonus plans.

• Establish a process to link pay, including stock-option grants, to performance, leaving specifics of implementation to the company.

• Require that option repricing be submitted to shareholders.

• Require the expensing of stock-option awards.

• Require reporting of executive retirement benefits (deferred compensation, split-dollar life insurance, SERPs, and pension benefits).

• Employee stock purchase plans where the purchase price is equal to at least 85% of the market price, where the offering period is no greater than 27 months and where potential dilution (as defined below) is no greater than 10%.

We will vote on a case-by-case basis on the following issues:

• Shareholder proposals seeking additional disclosure of executive and director pay information.

• Executive and director stock-related compensation plans. We will consider the following factors when reviewing these plans:

• The program must be of a reasonable size. We will approve plans where the combined employee and director plans together would generate less than 15% dilution. We will reject plans with 15% or more potential dilution.

• Dilution = (A + B + C) / (A + B + C + D), where

• A = Shares reserved for plan/amendment,

• B = Shares available under continuing plans,

• C = Shares granted but unexercised and

• D = Shares outstanding.

• The plan must not:

• Explicitly permit unlimited option repricing authority or have allowed option repricing in the past without shareholder approval.

------

• Be a self-replenishing "evergreen" plan or a plan that grants discount options and tax offset payments.

• We are generally in favor of proposals that increase participation beyond executives.

• We generally support proposals asking companies to adopt rigorous vesting provisions for stock option plans such as those that vest incrementally over, at least, a three- or four-year period with a pro rata portion of the shares becoming exercisable on an annual basis following grant date.

• We generally support proposals asking companies to disclose their window period policies for stock transactions. Window period policies ensure that employees do not exercise options based on insider information contemporaneous with quarterly earnings releases and other material corporate announcements.

• We generally support proposals asking companies to adopt stock holding periods for their executives.

• All other employee stock purchase plans.

• All other compensation-related proposals, including deferred compensation plans, employment agreements, loan guarantee programs and retirement plans.

• All other proposals regarding stock compensation plans, including extending the life of a plan, changing vesting restrictions, repricing options, lengthening exercise periods or accelerating distribution of awards and pyramiding and cashless exercise programs.

We will vote against:

• Pensions for non-employee directors. We believe these retirement plans reduce director objectivity.

• Elimination of stock option plans.

We will vote on a case-by case basis on these issues:

• Limits on executive and director pay.

• Stock in lieu of cash compensation for directors.

#### Corporate Governance
Amundi US will vote for:

• Confidential voting.

• Equal access provisions, which allow shareholders to contribute their opinions to proxy materials.

• Proposals requiring directors to disclose their ownership of shares in the company.

We will vote on a case-by-case basis on the following issues:

• Change in the state of incorporation. We will support reincorporations supported by valid business reasons. We will oppose those that appear to be solely for the purpose of strengthening takeover defenses.

• Bundled proposals. We will evaluate the overall impact of the proposal.

• Adopting or amending the charter, bylaws or articles of association.

• Shareholder appraisal rights, which allow shareholders to demand judicial review of an acquisition price.

We will vote against:

• Shareholder advisory committees. While management should solicit shareholder input, we prefer to leave the method of doing so to management's discretion.

• Limitations on stock ownership or voting rights.

• Reduction in share ownership disclosure guidelines.

#### Mergers and Restructurings
Amundi US will vote on the following and similar issues on a case-by-case basis:

• Mergers and acquisitions.

• Corporate restructurings, including spin-offs, liquidations, asset sales, joint ventures, conversions to holding company and conversions to self-managed REIT structure.

------

• Debt restructurings.

• Conversion of securities.

• Issuance of shares to facilitate a merger.

• Private placements, warrants, convertible debentures.

• Proposals requiring management to inform shareholders of merger opportunities.

We will normally vote against shareholder proposals requiring that the company be put up for sale.

#### Investment Companies
Many of our portfolios may invest in shares of closed-end funds or open-end funds (including exchange-traded funds). The non-corporate structure of these investments raises several unique proxy voting issues.

Amundi US will vote for:

• Establishment of new classes or series of shares.

• Establishment of a master-feeder structure.

Amundi US will vote on a case-by-case basis on:

• Changes in investment policy. We will normally support changes that do not affect the investment objective or overall risk level of the fund. We will examine more fundamental changes on a case-by-case basis.

• Approval of new or amended advisory contracts.

• Changes from closed-end to open-end format.

• Election of a greater number of independent directors.

• Authorization for, or increase in, preferred shares.

• Disposition of assets, termination, liquidation, or mergers.

• Classified boards of closed-end funds, but will typically support such proposals.

In general, business development companies (BDCs) are not considered investment companies for these purposes but are treated as corporate issuers.

#### Environmental and Social Issues
Amundi US believes that environmental and social issues may influence corporate performance and economic return. Indeed, by analyzing all of a company's risks and opportunities, Amundi US can better assess its intrinsic value and long-term economic prospects.

When evaluating proxy proposals relating to environmental or social issues, decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. We consider each of these proposals based on the impact to the company's shareholders and economic return, the specific circumstances at each individual company, any potentially adverse economic concerns, and the current policies and practices of the company.

For example, shareholder proposals relating to environmental and social issues, and on which we will vote on a base-by-case basis, may include those seeking that a company:

• Conduct studies regarding certain environmental or social issues;

• Study the feasibility of the company taking certain actions with regard to such issues; or

• Take specific action, including adopting or ceasing certain behavior and adopting company standards and principles, in relation to such issues.

In general, Amundi US believes these issues are important and should receive management attention.

Amundi US will support proposals where we believe the proposal, if implemented, would improve the prospects for the long-term success of the business and would provide value to the company and its shareholders. Amundi US may abstain on shareholder proposals with regard to environmental and social issues in cases where we believe the proposal, if implemented, would not be in the economic interests of the company, or where implementing the proposal would constrain management flexibility or would be unduly difficult, burdensome or costly.

------

When evaluating proxy proposals relating to environmental or social issues, Amundi US may consider the following factors or other factors deemed relevant, given such weight as deemed appropriate:

• approval of the proposal helps improve the company's practices;

• approval of the proposal can improve shareholder value;

• the company's current stance on the topic is likely to have negative effects on its business position or reputation in the short, medium, or long term;

• the company has already put appropriate action in place to respond to the issue contained in the proposal;

• the company's reasoning against approving the proposal responds appropriately to the various points mentioned by the shareholder when the proposal was presented;

• the solutions recommended in the proposal are relevant and appropriate, and if the topic of the proposal would not be better addressed through another means.

In the event of failures in risk management relating to environmental and social issues, Amundi US may vote against the election of directors responsible for overseeing these areas.

Amundi US will vote against proposals calling for substantial changes in the company's business or activities. We will also normally vote against proposals with regard to contributions, believing that management should control the routine disbursement of funds.

#### Conflicts of interest
Amundi US recognizes that in certain circumstances a conflict of interest may arise when Amundi US votes a proxy.

A conflict of interest occurs when Amundi US's interests interfere, or appear to interfere, with the interests of Amundi US's clients.

A conflict may be actual or perceived and may exist, for example, when the matter to be voted on concerns:

• An affiliate of Amundi US, such as another company belonging to the Credit Agricole banking group ("Credit Agricole Affiliate");

• An issuer of a security for which Amundi US acts as a sponsor, advisor, manager, custodian, distributor, underwriter, broker, or other similar capacity (including those securities specifically declared by its parent Amundi to present a conflict of interest for Amundi US);

• An issuer of a security for which Amundi has informed Amundi US that a Credit Agricole Affiliate acts as a sponsor, advisor, manager, custodian, distributor, underwriter, broker, or other similar capacity; or

• A person with whom Amundi US (or any of its affiliates) has an existing, material contract or business relationship.

Any member of the Proxy Voting Oversight Group and any other associate involved in the proxy voting process with knowledge of any apparent or actual conflict of interest must disclose such conflict to the Proxy Coordinator and the Chief Compliance Officer of Amundi US and the Funds. If any associate is lobbied or pressured with respect to any voting decision, whether within or outside of Amundi US, he or she should contact a member of the Proxy Voting Oversight Group or Amundi US's Chief Compliance Officer.

The Proxy Voting Oversight Group will review each item referred to Amundi US by the proxy voting service to determine whether an actual or potential conflict of interest exists in connection with the proposal(s) to be voted upon. The review will be conducted by comparing the apparent parties affected by the proxy proposal being voted upon against the Controller's and Compliance Department's internal list of interested persons and, for any matches found, evaluating the anticipated magnitude and possible probability of any conflict of interest being present. The Proxy Voting Oversight Group may cause any of the following actions to be taken when a conflict of interest is present:

• Vote the proxy in accordance with the vote indicated under "Voting Guidelines," if a vote is indicated, or

------

• Direct the independent proxy voting service to vote the proxy in accordance with its independent assessment or that of another independent adviser appointed by Amundi US or the applicable client for this purpose.

If the Proxy Voting Oversight Group perceives a material conflict of interest, the Group may also choose to disclose the conflict to the affected clients and solicit their consent to proceed with the vote or their direction (including through a client's fiduciary or other adviser), or may take such other action in good faith (in consultation with counsel) that would protect the interests of clients.

For each referral item, the determination regarding the presence or absence of any actual or potential conflict of interest will be documented in a Conflicts of Interest Report prepared by the Proxy Coordinator.

The Proxy Voting Oversight Group will review periodically the independence of the proxy voting service. This may include a review of the service's conflict management procedures and other documentation and an evaluation as to whether the service continues to have the competency and capacity to vote proxies.

#### Decisions Not to Vote Proxies
Although it is Amundi US's general policy to vote all proxies in accordance with the principles set forth in this policy, there may be situations in which the Proxy Voting Oversight Group does not vote a proxy referred to it. For example, because of the potential conflict of interest inherent in voting shares of a Credit Agricole Affiliate, Amundi US will abstain from voting the shares unless otherwise directed by a client. In such a case, the Proxy Coordinator will inform Amundi Compliance before exercising voting rights.

There exist other situations in which the Proxy Voting Oversight Group may refrain from voting a proxy. For example, if the cost of voting a foreign security outweighs the benefit of voting, the Group may not vote the proxy. The Group may not be given enough time to process a vote, perhaps because it receives a meeting notice too late or it cannot obtain a translation of the agenda in the time available. If Amundi US has outstanding "sell" orders, the proxies for shares subject to the order may not be voted to facilitate the sale. Although Amundi US may hold shares on a company's record date, if the shares are sold prior to the meeting date the Group may decide not to vote those shares.

#### Supervision

#### Escalation
It is each associate's responsibility to contact his or her business unit head, the Proxy Coordinator, a member of the Proxy Voting Oversight Group or Amundi US's Chief Compliance Officer if he or she becomes aware of any possible noncompliance with this policy.

#### Training
Amundi US will conduct periodic training regarding proxy voting and this policy. It is the responsibility of the business line policy owner and the applicable Compliance Department to coordinate and conduct such training.

#### Related policies and procedures
Amundi US's Books and Records Policy and the Books and Records of the Pioneer Funds' Policy.

#### Record Keeping
The Proxy Coordinator shall ensure that Amundi US's proxy voting service:

• Retains a copy of each proxy statement received (unless the proxy statement is available from the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system);

• Retains a record of the vote cast;

• Prepares Form N-PX for filing on behalf of each client that is a registered investment company; and

• Is able to promptly provide Amundi US with a copy of the voting record upon its request.

The Proxy Coordinator shall ensure that for those votes that may require additional documentation (i.e. conflicts of interest, exception votes and case-by-case votes) the following records are maintained:

• A record memorializing the basis for each referral vote cast;

------

• A copy of any recommendation or analysis furnished by the proxy voting service; and

• A copy of any conflict notice, conflict consent or any other written communication (including emails or other electronic communications) to or from the client (or in the case of an employee benefit plan, the plan's director or other fiduciaries) regarding the subject proxy vote cast by, or the vote recommendation of, Amundi US.

Amundi US shall maintain the above records in the client's file in accordance with applicable regulations.

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

(a) If the registrant is a closed-end management investment company that is filing an annual report on this Form N-CSR, provide the following information:

(1) State the name, title, and length of service of the person or persons employed by or associated with the registrant or an investment adviser of the registrant who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the registrant's portfolio ("Portfolio Manager"). Also state each Portfolio Manager's business experience during the past 5 years.

#### Other accounts managed by the portfolio manager
The table below indicates, for the portfolio manager of the fund, information about the accounts other than the fund over which the portfolio manager has day-to-day investment responsibility. All information on the number of accounts and total assets in the table is as of November 30, 2022. For purposes of the table, "Other Pooled Investment Vehicles" may include investment partnerships, undertakings for collective investments in transferable securities ("UCITS") and other non-U.S. investment funds and group trusts, and "Other Accounts" may include separate accounts for institutions or individuals, insurance company general or separate accounts, pension funds and other similar institutional accounts but generally do not include the portfolio manager's personal investment accounts or those which the manager may be deemed to own beneficially under the code of ethics. Certain funds and other accounts managed by the portfolio manager may have substantially similar investment strategies.

#### Potential conflicts of interest
When a portfolio manager is responsible for the management of more than one account, the potential arises for the portfolio manager to favor one account over another. The principal types of potential conflicts of interest that may arise are discussed below. For the reasons outlined below, Amundi US does not believe that any material conflicts are likely to arise out of a portfolio manager's responsibility for the management of the fund as well as one or more other accounts. Although Amundi US has adopted procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to detect and prevent violations of the federal securities laws and to mitigate the potential for conflicts of interest to affect its portfolio management decisions, there can be no assurance that all conflicts will be identified or that all procedures will be effective in mitigating the potential for such risks. Generally, the risks of such conflicts of interest are increased to the extent that a portfolio manager has a financial incentive to favor one account over another. Amundi US has structured its compensation arrangements in a manner that is intended to limit such potential for conflicts of interest. See "Compensation of Portfolio Managers" below.

• A portfolio manager could favor one account over another in allocating new investment opportunities that have limited supply, such as initial public offerings and private placements. If, for example, an initial public offering that was expected to appreciate in value significantly shortly after the offering was allocated to a single account, that account may be expected to have better investment performance than other accounts that did not receive an allocation of the initial public offering. Generally, investments for which there is limited availability are allocated based upon a range of factors including available cash and consistency with the accounts' investment objectives and policies. This allocation methodology necessarily involves some subjective elements but is intended over time to treat each client in an equitable and fair manner. Generally, the investment opportunity is allocated among participating accounts on a pro rata basis. Although Amundi US believes that its practices are reasonably designed to treat each client in an equitable and fair manner, there may be instances where a fund may not participate, or may participate to a lesser degree than other clients, in the allocation of an investment opportunity.

------

• A portfolio manager could favor one account over another in the order in which trades for the accounts are placed. If a portfolio manager determines to purchase a security for more than one account in an aggregate amount that may influence the market price of the security, accounts that purchased or sold the security first may receive a more favorable price than accounts that made subsequent transactions. The less liquid the market for the security or the greater the percentage that the proposed aggregate purchases or sales represent of average daily trading volume, the greater the potential for accounts that make subsequent purchases or sales to receive a less favorable price. When a portfolio manager intends to trade the same security on the same day for more than one account, the trades typically are "bunched," which means that the trades for the individual accounts are aggregated and each account receives the same price. There are some types of accounts as to which bunching may not be possible for contractual reasons (such as directed brokerage arrangements). Circumstances may also arise where the trader believes that bunching the orders may not result in the best possible price. Where those accounts or circumstances are involved, Amundi US will place the order in a manner intended to result in as favorable a price as possible for such client.

• A portfolio manager could favor an account if the portfolio manager's compensation is tied to the performance of that account to a greater degree than other accounts managed by the portfolio manager. If, for example, the portfolio manager receives a bonus based upon the performance of certain accounts relative to a benchmark while other accounts are disregarded for this purpose, the portfolio manager will have a financial incentive to seek to have the accounts that determine the portfolio manager's bonus achieve the best possible performance to the possible detriment of other accounts. Similarly, if Amundi US receives a performance-based advisory fee, the portfolio manager may favor that account, whether or not the performance of that account directly determines the portfolio manager's compensation.

• A portfolio manager could favor an account if the portfolio manager has a beneficial interest in the account, in order to benefit a large client or to compensate a client that had poor returns. For example, if the portfolio manager held an interest in an investment partnership that was one of the accounts managed by the portfolio manager, the portfolio manager would have an economic incentive to favor the account in which the portfolio manager held an interest.

• If the different accounts have materially and potentially conflicting investment objectives or strategies, a conflict of interest could arise. For example, if a portfolio manager purchases a security for one account and sells the same security for another account, such trading pattern may disadvantage either the account that is long or short. In making portfolio manager assignments, Amundi US seeks to avoid such potentially conflicting situations. However, where a portfolio manager is responsible for accounts with differing investment objectives and policies, it is possible that the portfolio manager will conclude that it is in the best interest of one account to sell a portfolio security while another account continues to hold or increase the holding in such security.

#### Compensation of portfolio manager
Amundi US has adopted a system of compensation for portfolio managers that seeks to align the financial interests of the portfolio managers with those of shareholders of the accounts (including Pioneer funds) the portfolio managers manage, as well as with the financial performance of Amundi US. The compensation program for all Amundi US portfolio managers includes a base salary (determined by the rank and tenure of the employee) and an annual bonus program, as well as customary benefits that are offered generally to all full-time employees. Base compensation is fixed and normally reevaluated on an annual basis. Amundi US seeks to set base compensation at market rates, taking into account the experience and responsibilities of the portfolio manager. The bonus plan is intended to provide a competitive level of annual bonus compensation that is tied to the portfolio manager achieving superior investment performance and align the interests of the investment professional with those of shareholders, as well as with the financial performance of Amundi US. Any bonus under the plan is completely discretionary, with a maximum annual bonus that may be in excess of base salary. The annual bonus is based upon a combination of the following factors:

------

• **Quantitative investment performance.** The quantitative investment performance calculation is based on pre-tax investment performance of all of the accounts managed by the portfolio manager (which includes the fund and any other accounts managed by the portfolio manager) over a one-year period (20% weighting) and four-year period (80% weighting), measured for periods ending on December 31. The accounts, which include the fund, are ranked against a group of mutual funds with similar investment objectives and investment focus (60%) and a broad-based securities market index measuring the performance of the same type of securities in which the accounts invest (40%), which, in the case of the fund, is the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index. As a result of these two benchmarks, the performance of the portfolio manager for compensation purposes is measured against the criteria that are relevant to the portfolio manager's competitive universe.

• **Qualitative performance.** The qualitative performance component with respect to all of the accounts managed by the portfolio manager includes objectives, such as effectiveness in the areas of teamwork, leadership, communications and marketing, that are mutually established and evaluated by each portfolio manager and management.

• **Amundi US results and business line results.** Amundi US's financial performance, as well as the investment performance of its investment management group, affect a portfolio manager's actual bonus by a leverage factor of plus or minus (+/–) a predetermined percentage.

The quantitative and qualitative performance components comprise 80% and 20%, respectively, of the overall bonus calculation (on a pre-adjustment basis). A portion of the annual bonus is deferred for a specified period and may be invested in one or more Pioneer funds.

Certain portfolio managers participate in other programs designed to reward and retain key contributors. Portfolio managers also may participate in a deferred compensation program, whereby deferred amounts are invested in one or more Pioneer funds or collective investment trusts or other unregistered funds with similar investment objectives, strategies and policies.

**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:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Promote compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

------

3 Last revised January 2021

------

**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.
