1.31.11 | | AGIC Equity & Convertible Income Fund Annual Report | 1 |
Supporting this recovery was the continued accommodative stance by the Federal Reserve (“the Fed”). The Fed revealed plans to purchase up to $900 billion of U.S. Treasury bonds. The goal of this “quantitative easing” was to keep stimulating the economy by lowering interest rates. The Fed maintained its closely watched Federal Funds rate, the interest rate banks charge to lend federal funds to other banks, usually on an overnight basis in the 0.0% to 0.25% range. The discount rate, however, the interest rate charged to banks for direct loans was raised to 0.75% from 0.50%.

Fund Insights | |
January 31, 2011 (unaudited) | |
For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund returned 16.02% on net asset value and 28.20% on market price.
During the 12-month review period, investors’ risk appetite returned, supported by a number of factors. In the equity market, the Russell 1000 Value Index, a subset of the broad market measuring value-oriented stocks, advanced strongly during the period. Equities were led by more economically sensitive and commodity-driven sectors such as materials and energy, as well as the consumer discretionary sector. More defensive segments such as utilities and consumer staples underperformed, with health care delivering the lowest returns for the fiscal year. Smaller and mid-size capitalized companies outperformed the largest capitalized firms. The most nimble companies were able to benefit from the improved macroeconomic environment.
Although convertible market sentiment varied throughout the fiscal period, the net result was a solid year. After an impressive return in the fourth quarter of 2010, the Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Index registered another good year of performance advancing 21.09%.
The factors driving fourth quarter and full year performance did not change significantly from earlier in the period. Although several hiccups occurred throughout the period, including mixed economic statistical releases and European sovereign concerns, these risks rose then abated quickly. Ultimately, stronger corporate profitability and an improving economy had the greatest influence on investor sentiment. Improved balance sheets and operating performance of corporations were supplemented by the incredible new corporate issuance volume that bolstered liquidity and reduced high-cost debt. Political risk abated after the November elections, and more accommodative decisions were made in Washington regarding taxes and further monetary policy easing (QE2). These factors also led to a healthy year-end rally in the equity markets and a sell-off in the Treasury market, all of which added to the appetite for convertible and equity investing.
Convertibles moved up in line with their historical equity upside participation during the fourth quarter of the period. Contrary to the first half of the fiscal period whereby credit improvement was the largest driver of performance, equity contribution increased later in the year.
In the convertibles segment of the Fund’s portfolio, positions in the consumer discretionary, industrials and financial industries benefitted performance during the period. Select consumer discretionary issuers moved higher as automobile sales exceeded expectations and production schedules increased. Industrial issuers performed well on improving operating statistics and solid end-market demand. Financial companies gained on an improving global economic outlook and improving credit metrics.
Healthcare and consumer staples industries hindered relative performance during the reporting period. Generic drug manufacturing companies underperformed as international end-markets deteriorated, negatively impacting earnings. Consumer staples issuers were down as investors rotated into higher beta companies.
At the start of the reporting period, levels of implied volatility, as measured by the Chicago Board Options Exchange VIX Index (the “VIX”), trended from the mid 20’s down to the teens before spiking above 45 in May. One of the instances of increased volatility occurred due to the flash crash on May 6, 2010, where there was a chaotic drop in equity prices during afternoon trading. The equity market would regain strength towards the second half of the reporting period, resulting in declining levels of the VIX, which ended the last few months in the mid teens. The average volatility through the period was 22.29.

NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund | Fund Insights (continued) |
January 31, 2011 (unaudited) | |
Our outlook for the convertible market is positive. The improvement in corporate earnings witnessed in the third quarter earnings continued in the fourth quarter of 2010. U.S. corporate cash levels are high, debt levels have been reduced and maturities have been extended. In addition, consumers are spending again and labor conditions are improving.
In 2011, we expect companies may use the high cash levels on their balance sheets and future free cash flow to boost shareholder value. Share buybacks, increased dividends and merger and acquisition activity are possible uses of excess cash. We believe these factors should benefit equity and convertible investors.
While we expect credit spread tightening should continue as high yield credit spreads remain above the historical average, positive convertible returns will be dependent on the equity markets going forward. Even though global and economic risk headlines persist, driving a continuation of choppy directional short-term performance, few companies have seen a change in demand or order patterns. We believe fundamentals remain intact and this should provide a positive backdrop for the U.S. equity markets. In such an environment, convertible bonds should benefit from credit spread tightening and higher equity prices, making them an attractive option for total return investors.

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, AGIC Equity & Convertible Income Fund returned 22.56% on net asset value and 30.16% on market price.
Although market sentiment varied throughout the period, the net result for the equity and convertible markets was a solid year.
The factors driving the Fund’s fiscal year end performance did not change significantly from earlier in the period. Although several hiccups occurred throughout the period, including mixed economic statistical releases and European sovereign concerns, these risks rose then abated quickly. Ultimately, stronger corporate profitability and an improving economy had the greatest influence on investor sentiment. Improved balance sheets and operating performance of issuers were supplemented by the incredible new corporate issuance volume that bolstered liquidity and reduced high-cost debt. Political risk abated after the November elections, and more accommodative decisions were made in Washington regarding taxes and further monetary policy easing (QE2). These factors also led to a healthy year-end rally in the equity markets and a sell-off in the Treasury market. All of which added to the appetite for convertible investing.
The equity move higher was broad-based among industries and market capitalizations. Lagging areas of performance included utilities, telecommunications, and healthcare. The best performing sectors were technology, energy and consumer discretionary.
As was the theme throughout the fiscal year, smaller and mid-sized capitalized companies in the Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Index outperformed the largest capitalized firms. The most nimble companies were able to benefit from the improved macroeconomic environment.
Convertibles moved up in line with their historical equity upside participation during the fourth quarter of the reporting period. Unlike the first half of the period, where credit improvement was the bigger driver of returns, equity contributed more later in the year.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX), a key measure of market expectations of near-term volatility conveyed by S&P 500 stock index option prices, began the fiscal period in the mid twenties, spiked in May and then moved lower with the rising equity market. The VIX’s average volatility was 22.3, and remained in the mid to high teens during the last months of the period.
The Fund’s weakest equity performers were healthcare companies. The market rotated away from the group as inline sales were overshadowed by higher inputs costs and potential pressure on future margins.
Convertible positions in the consumer discretionary, industrials and financial industries contributed positively to performance during the period. Select consumer discretionary issuers were higher as automobile sales exceeded expectations and production schedules increased. Industrial issuers performed well on improving operating statistics and solid end-market demand. Financial companies moved higher on an improving global economic outlook and improving credit metrics.
Convertible positions in the healthcare and consumer staples industries hindered relative performance over the period. Generic drug manufacturing companies underperformed as international end markets deteriorated, negatively impacting earnings. Consumer staples issues declined as investors rotated into higher beta companies.
In 2011, we expect companies may use the high cash levels on their balance sheets and future free cash flow to help boost shareholder value. Share buybacks, increased dividends and merger and acquisition activity are possible uses of excess cash. We believe these factors will benefit investors in the convertible and equity markets.

Even though global and economic risk headlines persist, driving a continuation of choppy directional short-term performance, few companies have seen a change in demand or order patterns. We believe fundamentals remain intact and this should provide a positive backdrop for the U.S. equity markets. Convertible bonds should benefit from credit spread tightening and higher equity prices, an attractive option for total return investors.
The Fund’s disciplined approach of focusing on companies that are exceeding expectations and improving their credit statistics may be rewarded should those companies differentiate themselves from their peer group. In this environment, we believe companies that have reasonable earnings visibility should command premium valuations relative to other companies.
The portfolio management team continues to build the Fund’s portfolio one company at a time, by seeking to identify those that are opportunistically capitalizing on change. In addition, we look to maintain our discipline of seeking to identify the best total return candidates with the optimal risk/reward profile.

Investment Allocation |
|
|
(1) | Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by determining the percentage change in NAV or market price (as applicable) in the specified period. The calculation assumes that all income dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, have been reinvested. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return. |
| |
| Performance at market price will differ from its results at NAV. Although market price returns typically reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as changing views about the Fund, market conditions, supply and demand for the Fund’s shares, or changes in Fund dividends. |
| |
| An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, market price, market price yield and NAV will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information purposes only and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a onetime public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are traded in the open market through a stock exchange. NAV is equal to total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily. |
| |
(2) | Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current quarterly per share dividend (comprised of net investment income and net capital gains, if any) payable to shareholders by the market price per share at January 31, 2011. |

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund and AGIC Equity & Convertible Income Fund (collectively referred to as the “Funds”) were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on August 20, 2003 and December 12, 2006, respectively. Prior to commencing operations on February 28, 2005 and February 27, 2007, respectively, the Funds had no operations other than matters relating to their organization and registration as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations there under, as amended. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”) serves as the Funds’ Investment Manager and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“Allianz Global”). Allianz Global is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. Each Fund has an unlimited amount of $0.00001 par value common shares authorized.
NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy’s primary investment objective is to seek current income and gains, with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions the Fund pursues its investment objectives by investing in a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying common stocks and income-producing convertible securities. The Fund will also employ a strategy of writing (selling) call options on equity indexes in an attempt to generate gains from option premiums.
AGIC Equity & Convertible Income’s investment objective is to seek total return comprised of capital appreciation, current income and gains. Under normal market conditions the Fund pursues its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities and income producing convertible securities. The Fund will also employ a strategy of writing (selling) call options on the equity securities held by the Fund.
There is no guarantee that the Funds will meet their stated objectives.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:
(a) Valuation of Investments
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services.
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security are fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, or persons acting at their discretion pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Funds’ investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Synthetic convertible securities are valued based on quotations obtained from unaffiliated brokers who are the principal market-makers in such securities. Such valuations are derived by the brokers from proprietary models which are generally based on readily available market information including valuations of the common stock underlying the synthetic security. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days.
The prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and these differences could be material to each Fund’s financial statements. Each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is normally determined as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on each day the NYSE is open for business.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(b) Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
|
|
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Funds have the ability to access |
• Level 2 – valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or quotes from inactive exchanges | |
• | Level 3 – valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique used.
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the year ended January 31, 2011 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. When fair-valuing securities the Funds utilized multi-dimensional relational pricing models.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following are certain inputs and techniques that the Funds generally use to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities, for Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock) – Equity securities traded in inactive markets are valued using inputs which include broker-dealer quotes, recently executed transactions adjusted for changes in the benchmark index, or evaluated price quotes received from independent pricing services that take into account the integrity of the market sector and issuer, the individual characteristics of the security, and information received from broker-dealers and other market sources pertaining to the issuer or security. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of equity securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
Convertible Bonds & Notes – Convertible bonds and notes are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of convertible bonds and notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
Corporate Bonds & Notes – Corporate bonds and notes are generally comprised of two main categories, investment grade bonds and high yield bonds. Investment grade bonds are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, live trading levels, recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, and option adjusted spread models that include base curve and spread curve inputs. Adjustments to individual bonds can be applied to recognize trading differences compared to other bonds issued by the same issuer. High yield bonds are valued by independent pricing services based primarily on broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of corporate bonds and notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
Option Contracts — Option contracts traded over the counter (“OTC”) are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that incorporate various inputs such as interest rates, credit spreads, currency exchange rates and volatility measurements for in-the-money, at-the-money, and out-of-the-money contracts based on a given strike price. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of OTC option contracts are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

There was no change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of Level 3 investments which the Fund held at January 31, 2011.
*There were no transfers into and out of Level 3 during the year ended January 31, 2011.
(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premium is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Conversion premium is not amortized. Payments received from certain investments may be comprised of dividends, realized gains

and return of capital. These payments may initially be recorded as dividend income and may be subsequently be reclassified as realized gains and/or return of capital upon receipt of information from the issuer. Payments received on synthetic convertible securities are generally included in dividends.
(d) Federal Income Taxes
The Funds intend to distribute all of their taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.
Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Funds’ management has determined that its evaluation has resulted in no material impact on the Funds’ financial statements at January 31, 2011. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
(e) Dividends and Distributions
The Funds declare quarterly dividends and distributions from net investment income and gains from option premiums and the sale of portfolio securities. The Funds record dividends and distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book-tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as dividends and/or distributions of paid-in capital in excess of par.
(f) Convertible Securities
It is the Funds’ policy to invest a portion of their assets in convertible securities. Although convertible securities do derive part of their value from that of the securities into which they are convertible, they are not considered derivative financial instruments. However, certain of the Funds’ investments in convertible securities include features which render them more sensitive to price changes in their underlying securities. The value of structured/synthetic convertible securities can be affected by interest rate changes and credit risks of the issuer. Such securities may be structured in ways that limit their potential for capital appreciation and the entire value of the security may be at risk of loss depending on the performance of the underlying equity security. Consequently, the Funds are exposed to greater downside risk than traditional convertible securities, but still less than that of the underlying stock.
(g) Short Sales
Short sale transactions involve the Fund selling securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Fund is obligated to deliver securities at the market price at the time the short position is closed. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested. Dividend expense is recorded on ex-date.
2. Principal Risks
In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to, among other things, changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (counterparty risk). The Funds also are exposed to various risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate and credit risks.
Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by the Funds are likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is useful primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s market price to interest rate (i.e. yield) movements.
Variable and floating rate securities generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. Inverse floating rate securities may decrease in value if interest rates increase. Inverse floating rate securities may also exhibit greater price volatility than a fixed rate obligation with similar

2. Principal Risks (continued)
credit quality. When a Fund holds a variable or floating rate securities, a decrease (or, in the case of inverse floating rate securities, an increase) in market interest rates will adversely affect the income received from such securities and the NAV of the Fund’s shares.
The Funds are exposed to credit risk, which is the risk of losing money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings.
The market values of equity securities, such as common and preferred stock, securities convertible into equity securities or equity-related investments such as options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.
The Funds are exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss to the Funds could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the Funds’ financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Funds’ Sub-Advisers, NFJ Investment Group LLC (“NFJ”) and Allianz Global Investors Capital LLC (“AGIC”), also affiliates of the Investment Manager, seek to minimize counterparty risks to each applicable Fund by performing reviews of each counterparty. Delivery of securities sold is only made once the Funds have received payment. Payment is made on the purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.
The Funds held synthetic convertible securities with Lehman Brothers entities as counterparty at the time the relevant Lehman Brothers entity filed for protection or was placed in administration. The values of the relevant securities have been written down to their estimated recoverable values.
3. Financial Derivatives Instruments
Disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities require qualitative disclosures regarding objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivatives, and disclosure about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements distinguish between derivatives which are accounted for as “hedges” and those that do not qualify for such accounting. Although the Funds sometimes use derivatives for hedging purposes, the Funds reflect derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Funds’ Statements of Operations, and such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.
Option Transactions
The Funds write (sell) call options on securities and indices to earn premiums, for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or otherwise as part of its investment strategies.
When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is subsequently marked to market to reflect the market value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as call options written in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recorded on the expiration date as a realized gain. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchased transactions, as a realized loss. If a call option written is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss. In writing an option, the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of a written option could result in the Funds purchasing a security at a price different from its current market value.
The following is a summary of the fair valuations of the Funds’ derivatives categorized by risk exposure.

4. Investment Manager/Sub-Advisers
Each Fund has an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager is responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, the Funds’ investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to its Agreement, the NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund pays the Investment Manager an annual fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.90% of the Fund’s average daily total managed assets. Pursuant to its Agreement, the AGIC Equity & Convertible Income Fund pays the Investment Manager an annual fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily total managed assets. Total managed assets refer to the total assets of each Fund (including borrowings that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings).
The Investment Manager has retained its affiliates NFJ and AGIC (the “Sub-Advisers”), to manage NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy. NFJ manages the Fund’s equity component and AGIC manages the Fund’s convertible and index option strategy components. AGIC serves as the sole sub-adviser to AGIC Equity & Convertible Income. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, NFJ and AGIC make all of NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy’s investment decisions in connection with their respective components of the Fund’s investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, AGIC is responsible for making all of AGIC Equity & Convertible Income’s investment decisions. Pursuant to Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Investment Manager and not the Funds, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Advisers in return for their services.
Effective August 25, 2010, the Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Investment Manager and Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management LLC (“NACM”) relating to the Funds and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Investment Manager and Oppenheimer Capital LLC (“OCC”) relating to NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund were novated from NACM and OCC, respectively, to AGIC, the indirect parent of NACM and OCC and an affiliate of the Investment Manager.

4. Investment Manager/Sub-Advisers (continued)
The novations coincided with a larger corporate reorganization transferring the advisory businesses of NACM and OCC to AGIC. Since 2009, AGIC has assumed a number of non-advisory functions from both NACM and OCC, and the transactions in August 2010 marked the last step in the full integration of these businesses under a single name.

At January 31, 2011, there were no distributable earnings.
For the year ended January 31, 2011, permanent differences are primarily attributable to the differing treatment of convertible securities, reclasses of taxable overdistributions, and investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts. These adjustments were to decrease dividends in excess of net investment income by $13,396,785, increase accumulated net realized loss by $2,271,567 and decrease paid-in capital in excess of par by $11,125,218.
At January 31, 2011, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $ 270,756,167, $17,766,745 of which will expire in 2017 and $252,989,422 of which will expire in 2018, and is available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of any future net realized gains. To the extent that these losses are used to offset future realized capital gains, such gains will not be distributed.
During the year ended January 31, 2011, the Fund utilized available capital loss carryforwards of $38,126,673.
In accordance with U.S. Treasury regulations, the Fund elected to defer realized capital losses of $22,765,961 arising after October 31, 2010.

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

AGIC Equity & Convertible Income Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund and AGIC Equity & Convertible Income Fund (the “Funds”) at January 31, 2011, the results of each of their operations, changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund | Proxy Voting Policies & |
Proxy Voting Policies & Procedures:
A description of the polices and procedures that the Funds have adopted to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information about how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve month period ended June 30 is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Funds’ shareholder servicing agent at (800) 254-5197; (ii) on the Funds’ website at www.allianzinvestors.com/closedendfunds; and (iii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.
|
|
Changes in Investment Policy – (AGIC Equity & Convertible Income Fund only) |
Effective June 30, 2010, the description of AGIC Equity & Convertible Income’s option strategy was revised as follows:
AGIC Equity & Convertible Income employs its Option Strategy by writing (selling) call options on stocks held in its equity securities portfolio (the “Equity Component”). When the Fund writes a call option on an individual stock held in the Equity Component, it will ordinarily do so with respect to approximately 70% of the value of the position. Therefore, if the Fund determines to write call options on all or substantially all of the individual stocks held in the Equity Component, it is expected that the Fund will have written call options positions with respect to approximately 70% of the aggregate value of the Equity Component. However, the extent of the Fund’s use of the Option Strategy will vary depending on market conditions and other factors, and the Fund may determine from time to time to write call options on only a portion, or none, of the individual stocks held in the Equity Component.
The Fund’s Option Strategy, to the extent utilized, is designed to generate gains from option premiums in an attempt to enhance distributions payable to the Fund’s shareholders and to reduce overall portfolio risk. However, there is no assurance that the Fund’s Option Strategy will achieve its objectives.
There are various risks associated with the Fund’s Option Strategies, including that the Fund forgoes, during the life of a written call option, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the underlying security or securities held by the Fund (in the case of an index option, to the extent the performance of the index is correlated with the corresponding securities held by the Fund) with respect to which the option was written above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the call. Therefore, an Option Strategy generally limits the Fund’s ability to benefit from the full upside potential of its equity holdings, while the Fund retains the risk of loss (net of premiums received) should the price of the Fund’s portfolio securities decline. The use of written call options by the Fund also potentially involves correlation, liquidity, valuation, tax and other risks.

Our Commitment to You
We consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of our relationship with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and security of our current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure our shareholders’ privacy, we have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholders’ needs to be served.
Obtaining Personnel Information
In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, we may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on our internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
As a matter of policy, we do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by us to non-affiliated third parties, except as required for everyday business purposes, such as to process transactions or service a shareholder’s account, or otherwise permitted by law. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, and gathering shareholder proxies. We may also retain non-affiliated financial services providers, such as broker-dealers, to market our shares and products and we may enter in joint-marketing agreements with them and other financial companies. We may also retain marketing and research service firms to conduct research on shareholder satisfaction. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use the information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. We may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to their respective brokerage or financial advisory firm, Custodian, and/or to their financial adviser or consultant.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect our rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, we may disclose information about a shareholder or shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party only if we receive a shareholder’s written request or consent.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
We may share shareholder information with our affiliates in connection with our affiliates’ everyday business purposes, such as servicing a shareholder’s account, but our affiliates may not use this information to market products and services to you except in conformance with applicable laws or regulations. The information we share includes information about our experiences and transactions with a shareholder and may include, for example, shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s transactions or accounts. Our affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Procedures to Safeguard Private Information
We take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, we have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In addition, we have physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in place to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information.
Disposal of Confidential Records
We will dispose of records, if any, that are knowingly derived from data received from a consumer reporting agency regarding a shareholder that is an individual in a manner that ensures the confidentiality of the data is maintained. Such records include, among other things, copies of consumer reports and notes of conversations with individuals at consumer agencies.

NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund | |
Pursuant to the Funds’ Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), all Common Shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names will have all dividends, including any capital gain dividends, reinvested automatically in additional Common Shares by BNY Mellon, as agent for the Common Shareholders (the “Plan Agent”), unless the shareholder elects to receive cash. An election to receive cash may be revoked or reinstated at the option of the shareholder. In the case of record shareholders such as banks, brokers or other nominees that hold Common Shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of Common Shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder as representing the total amount registered in such shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who are to participate in the Plan. Shareholders whose shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or nominee should contact the bank, broker or nominee for details. All distributions to investors who elect not to participate in the Plan (or whose broker or nominee elects not to participate on the investor’s behalf), will be paid cash by check mailed, in the case of direct shareholder, to the record holder by BNY Mellon, as the Fund’s dividend disbursement agent.
Unless you elect (or your broker or nominee elects) not to participate in the Plan, the number of Common Shares you will receive will be determined as follows:
|
|
(1) | If on the payment date the net asset value of the Common Shares is equal to or less than the market price per Common Share plus estimated brokerage commissions that would be incurred upon the purchase of Common Shares on the open market, the Funds will issue new shares at the greater of (i) the net asset value per Common Share on the payment date or (ii) 95% of the market price per Common Share on the payment date; or |
|
|
(2) | If on the payment date the net asset value of the Common Shares is greater than the market price per Common Share plus estimated brokerage commissions that would be incurred upon the purchase of Common Shares on the open market, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and will purchase Common Shares in the open market, on the NYSE or elsewhere, for the participants’ accounts. It is possible that the market price for the Common Shares may increase before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases. Therefore, the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the market price on the payment date, resulting in the purchase of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in Common Shares issued by the Funds. The Plan Agent will use all dividends and distributions received in cash to purchase Common Shares in the open market on or shortly after the payment date, but in no event later than the ex-dividend date for the next distribution. Interest will not be paid on any uninvested cash payments. |
You may withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving notice to the Plan Agent. If you withdraw or the Plan is terminated, you will receive a certificate for each whole share in your account under the Plan and you will receive a cash payment for any fraction of a share in your account. If you wish, the Plan Agent will sell your shares and send you the proceeds, minus brokerage commissions.
The Plan Agent maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and gives written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information you may need for tax records. The Plan Agent will also furnish each person who buys Common Shares with written instructions detailing the procedures for electing not to participate in the Plan and to instead receive distributions in cash. Common Shares in your account will be held by the Plan Agent in non-certificated form. Any proxy you receive will include all Common Shares you have received under the Plan.
There is no brokerage charge for reinvestment of your dividends or distributions in Common Shares. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Agent when it makes open market purchases.
Automatically reinvested dividends and distributions are taxed in the same manner as cash dividends and distributions.

AUDIT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE POLICY FOR PRE-APPROVAL OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee (“Committee”) is charged with the oversight of the Fund’s financial reporting policies and practices and their internal controls. As part of this responsibility, the Committee must pre-approve any independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement by the independent accountants, the Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant’s independence. The Committee’s evaluation will be based on:
|
|
| a review of the nature of the professional services expected to provided, |
|
|
| the fees to be charged in connection with the services expected to be provided, |
|
|
| a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and |
|
|
| periodic meetings with the accounting firm. |
POLICY FOR AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED TO THE FUND
On an annual basis, the Fund’s Committee will review and pre-approve the scope of the audits of the Fund and proposed audit fees and permitted non-audit (including audit-related) services that may be performed by the Funds’ independent accountants. At least annually, the Committee will receive a report of all audit and non-audit services that were rendered in the previous calendar year pursuant to this Policy. In addition to the Committee’s
pre-approval of services pursuant to this Policy, the engagement of the independent accounting firm for any permitted non-audit service provided to the Fund will also require the separate written pre-approval of the President of the Fund, who will confirm, independently, that the accounting firm’s engagement will not adversely affect the firm’s independence. All non-audit services performed by the independent accounting firm will be disclosed, as required, in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

| Semiannual financial statement reviews |
AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

|
|
| Accounting consultations |
| Agreed upon procedure reports |
| Other attestation reports |
Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process described above, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm’s independence, by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $250,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
TAX SERVICES
The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants and services falling under one of these categories will be pre-approved by the Committee on an annual basis if the Committee deems those services to be consistent with the accounting firm’s independence:

| Federal, state and local income tax compliance; and, sales and use tax compliance |
| Timely RIC qualification reviews |
| Tax distribution analysis and planning |
| Tax authority examination services |
| Tax appeals support services |
| Accounting methods studies |

| Other tax consulting services and related projects |

Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
PROSCRIBED SERVICES
The Fund’s independent accountants will not render services in the following categories of non-audit services:
|
|

PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED TO OTHER ENTITIES WITHIN THE FUND COMPLEX
The Committee will pre-approve annually any permitted non-audit services to be provided to Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (Formerly, PA Fund Management LLC) or any other investment manager to the Funds (but not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted by the investment manager) (the “Investment Manager”) and any entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Investment Manager that provides ongoing services to the Fund (including affiliated sub-advisers to the Funds), provided, in each case, that the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund (such entities, including the Investment Manager, shall be referred to herein as the “Accounting Affiliates”). Individual projects that are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm’s independence, by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $250,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
Although the Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Funds’ independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to the Investment Manager and its affiliates.
DE MINIMUS EXCEPTION TO REQUIREMENT OF PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES
With respect to the provision of permitted non-audit services to a Fund or Accounting Affiliates, the pre-approval requirement is waived if:
|
|
|
| (1) | The aggregate amount of all such permitted non-audit services provided constitutes no more than (i) with respect to such services provided to the Fund, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its independent accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided, and (ii) with respect to such services provided to Accounting Affiliates, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid to the Fund’s independent accountant by the Fund and the Accounting Affiliates during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; |
|
|
|
| (2) | Such services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement for such services to be non-audit services; and |
|
|
|
| (3) | Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Committee or by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this Committee Chairman or other delegate shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. |
|
|
|
| e) 2. No services were approved pursuant to the procedures contained in paragraph (C) (7) (i) (C) of Rule 2-01 of Registration S-X. |
|
|
|
|
| f) Not applicable |
|
|
|
| g) Non-audit fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to the Adviser, for the 2010 Reporting Period was $422,104 and the 2011 Reporting Period was $2,504,634. | |
|
|
|
| h) Auditor Independence. The Registrant’s Audit Oversight Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Adviser which were not pre-approved is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence. |

|
|
4. | AGIFM and each sub-adviser of a Trust with proxy voting authority shall deliver a copy of its respective proxy voting policies and any material amendments thereto to the applicable Board of the Trust promptly after the adoption or amendment of any such policies. |
|
|
5. | The party voting the proxy shall: (i) maintain such records and provide such voting information as is required for the Trusts’ regulatory filings including, without limitation, Form N-PX and the required disclosure of policy called for by Item 18 of Form N-2 and Item 7 of Form N-CSR; and (ii) shall provide such additional information as may be requested, from time to time, by the Board or the Trusts’ Chief Compliance Officer. |

Appendix B
Allianz Global Investors Capital LLC (“AGI Capital”)
Description of Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures
AGI Capital typically votes proxies as part of its discretionary authority to manage accounts, unless the client has explicitly reserved the authority for itself. When voting proxies, AGI Capital seeks to make voting decisions solely in the best interests of its clients and to enhance the economic value of the underlying portfolio securities held in its clients’ accounts.
AGI Capital has adopted written Proxy Policy Guidelines and Procedures (the “Proxy Guidelines”) that are reasonably designed to ensure that the firm is voting in the best interest of its clients. The Proxy Guidelines reflect AGI Capital’s general voting positions on specific corporate governance issues and corporate actions. AGI Capital has retained an independent third party service provider (the “Proxy Provider”) to assist in the proxy voting process by implementing the votes in accordance with the Proxy Guidelines as well as assisting in the administrative process. In certain circumstances, a client may request in writing that AGI Capital vote proxies for its account in accordance with a set of guidelines which differs from the Proxy Guidelines. In that case, AGI Capital will vote the shares held by such client accounts in accordance with their direction which may be different from the vote cast for shares held on behalf of other client accounts that vote in accordance with the Proxy Guidelines.
AGI Capital will generally refrain from voting proxies on foreign securities that are subject to share blocking restrictions. Certain countries require the freezing of shares for trading purposes at the custodian/sub-custodian bank level in order to vote proxies to ensure that shareholders voting at meetings continue to hold the shares through the actual shareholder meeting. However, because AGI Capital cannot anticipate every proxy proposal that may arise (including a proxy proposal that an analyst and/or portfolio manager believes has the potential to significantly affect the economic value of the underlying security, such as proxies relating to mergers and acquisitions), AGI Capital may, from time to time, instruct the Proxy Provider to cast a vote for a proxy proposal in a share blocked country.
The Proxy Guidelines also provide for oversight of the proxy voting process by a Proxy Committee. The Proxy Committee meets at a minimum on an annual basis and when necessary to address potential conflicts of interest. AGI Capital may have conflicts of interest that can affect how it votes its client’s proxies. In order to ensure that all material conflicts of interest are addressed appropriately while carrying out AGI Capital’s obligation to vote proxies, the Proxy Committee is responsible for developing a process to identify proxy voting issues that may raise conflicts of interest between AGI Capital and its clients and to resolve such issues. Any deviations from the Proxy Guidelines will
A-2
be documented and maintained in accordance with Rule 204-2 under the Investment Advisers Act.
The Proxy Committee monitors the outsourcing of voting obligations to the Proxy Provider and AGI Capital’s proxy voting recordkeeping practices; adheres to a process for resolution of voting issues that require a case-by-case analysis; and, to the extent the Proxy Guidelines do not cover potential proxy voting issues, determines a process for voting such issues.
In accordance with the Proxy Guidelines, AGI Capital may review additional criteria associated with voting proxies and evaluate the expected benefit to its clients when making an overall determination on how or whether to vote a proxy. Upon receipt of a client’s written request, AGI Capital may also vote proxies for that client’s account in a particular manner that may differ from the Proxy Guidelines. In addition, AGI Capital may refrain from voting a proxy on behalf of its clients’ accounts due to de-minimis holdings, immaterial impact on the portfolio, items relating to non-U.S. issuers (such as those described below), non-discretionary holdings not covered by AGI Capital, timing issues related to the opening/closing of accounts, securities lending issues (see below), contractual arrangements with clients and/or their authorized delegate, the timing of receipt of information, or where circumstances beyond its control prevent it from voting. These issues may include, but are not limited to: (i) proxy statements and ballots being written in a foreign language, (ii) untimely notice of a shareholder meeting, (iii) requirements to vote proxies in person, (iv) restrictions on foreigner’s ability to exercise votes, (v) restrictions on the sale of securities for a period of time in proximity to the shareholder meeting, or (vi) requirements to provide local agents with power of attorney to facilitate the voting instructions. Such proxies are voted on a best-efforts basis.
If a client has decided to participate in a securities lending program, AGI Capital will defer to the client’s determination and not attempt to recall securities on loan solely for the purpose of voting routine proxies as this could impact the returns received from securities lending and make the client a less desirable lender in the marketplace. If the participating client requests, AGI Capital will use reasonable efforts to notify the client of proxy measures that AGI Capital deems material.

*Of these other pooled investment vehicles, two accounts totaling $418.3 million in assets pay an advisory fee that is based in part on the performance of the account.
Like other investment professionals with multiple clients, a Portfolio Manager for a Fund may face certain potential conflicts of interest in connection with managing both the Fund and other accounts at the same time. The paragraphs below describe some conflicts faced by investment professionals at most major financial firms.
The Investment Adviser has adopted compliance policies and procedures that address certain of these potential conflicts. The management of accounts with different advisory fee rates and/or fee structures, including accounts that pay advisory fees based on account performance may raise potential conflicts of interest by creating an incentive to favor higher-fee accounts. These potential conflicts may include, among others:
|
|
|
| • | The most attractive investments could be allocated to higher-fee accounts or performance fee accounts. |
|
|
|
| • | The trading of higher-fee accounts could be favored as to timing and/or execution price. For example, higher-fee accounts could be permitted to sell securities earlier than other accounts when a prompt sale is desirable or to buy securities at an earlier and more opportune time. |
|
|
|
| • | The investment management team could focus their time and efforts primarily on higher-fee accounts due to a personal stake in compensation. |
When the Investment Adviser considers the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of a Fund as well as other accounts, the Investment Adviser’s trading desk may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased. Aggregation of trades may create the potential for unfairness to a Fund or another account if one account is favored over another in allocating the securities purchased or sold—for example, by allocating a disproportionate amount of a security that is likely to increase in value to a favored account. The Investment Adviser considers many factors when allocating securities among accounts, including the account’s investment style, applicable investment restrictions, availability of securities, available cash and other current holdings. The Investment Adviser attempts to allocate investment
A-5
opportunities among accounts in a fair and equitable manner. However, accounts are not assured of participating equally or at all in particular investment allocations due to such factors as noted above.
“Cross trades,” in which one Investment Adviser account sells a particular security to another account (potentially saving transaction costs for both accounts), may also pose a potential conflict of interest when cross trades are effected in a manner perceived to favor one client over another. For example, if the Investment Advisor crosses a trade between performance fee account and a fixed fee account that result in a benefit to the performance fee account and a detriment to the fixed fee account. The Investment Adviser has adopted compliance procedures that provide that all cross trades are to be made at an independent current market price, as required by law.
Another potential conflict of interest may arise from the different investment objectives and strategies of a Fund and other accounts. For example, another account may have a shorter-term investment horizon or different investment objectives, policies or restrictions than a Fund. Depending on another account’s objectives or other factors, a Portfolio Manager may give advice and make decisions that may differ from advice given, or the timing or nature of decisions made, with respect to a Fund. In addition, investment decisions are subject to suitability for the particular account involved. Thus, a particular security may not be bought or sold for certain accounts even though it was bought or sold for other accounts at the same time. More rarely, a particular security may be bought for one or more accounts managed by a Portfolio Manager when one or more other accounts are selling the security (including short sales). There may be circumstances when purchases or sales of portfolio securities for one or more accounts may have an adverse effect on other accounts. The Investment Adviser maintains trading policies designed to provide portfolio managers an opportunity to minimize the effect that short sales in one portfolio may have on holdings in other portfolios.
A Portfolio Manager who is responsible for managing multiple accounts may devote unequal time and attention to the management of those accounts. As a result, the Portfolio Manager may not be able to formulate as complete a strategy or identify equally attractive investment opportunities for each of those accounts as might be the case if he or she were to devote substantially more attention to the management of a single fund. The effects of this potential conflict may be more pronounced where funds and/or accounts overseen by a particular Portfolio Manager have different investment strategies.
A Fund’s Portfolio Manager(s) may be able to select or influence the selection of the broker/dealers that are used to execute securities transactions for the Fund. In addition to executing trades, some brokers and dealers provide the Investment Adviser with brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), which may result in the payment of higher brokerage fees than might have otherwise be available. These services may be more beneficial to certain funds or accounts than to others. In order to be assured of continuing to receive services considered of value to its clients, the Investment Adviser has adopted a brokerage allocation policy embodying the concepts of Section 28(e) of the Securities
A-6
Exchange Act of 1934. The Investment Adviser allocates the payment of brokerage commissions is subject to the requirement that the Portfolio Manager determine in good faith that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided to the Fund.
A Fund’s Portfolio Manager(s) may also face other potential conflicts of interest in managing a Fund, and the description above is not a complete description of every conflict that could be deemed to exist in managing both the Funds and other accounts. In addition, a Fund’s Portfolio Manager may also manage other accounts (including their personal assets or the assets of family members) in their personal capacity.
The Investment Adviser’s investment personnel, including each Fund’s Portfolio Manager, are subject to restrictions on engaging in personal securities transactions pursuant to Allianz Global Investors of America L.P.’s Codes of Ethics, which contain provisions and requirements designed to identify and address conflicts of interest between personal investment activities and the interests of the Funds. The Code of Ethics is designed to ensure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of the Investment Adviser will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients (including the Funds) or (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts.
(a) (3)
As of January 31, 2011 the following explains the compensation structure of each individual who shares primary responsibility for day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund:
AGI Capital’s compensation plan is designed specifically to be aligned with the interests of our clients. We aim to provide rewards for exceptional investment performance and build an enduring firm with a long-term culture of shared success. To that end, in addition to competitive base salaries, we offer both short- and long-term incentive plans.
|
Compensation and Investment Performance |
Short-term incentive pools for investment teams are annual discretionary bonuses funded by the firm’s revenue and allocated based on the performance of the strategies and the teams. The percentage allocated to an investment team is adjusted to reflect performance relative to the benchmark over a one-, three-, and five-year period (the timeframe may vary depending on the strategy). The team pools are then subjectively allocated to team members based on individual contributions to client accounts. This revenue sharing arrangement directly aligns compensation with investment performance. |
|
Long-Term Incentive Plan |
A Long-Term Incentive Plan provides rewards to certain key staff and executives of AGI Capital and the other Allianz Global Investors companies to promote long-term growth and profitability. The Plan is based on the firm’s operating earnings growth of both AGI |
A-7
|
Capital and Allianz Global Investors, has a three-year vesting schedule and is paid in cash upon vesting. |
|
Ownership Interest |
Managing Directors at AGI Capital are provided with an interest that shares in the future growth and profitability of AGI Capital. Each unit is designed to deliver an annual distribution and a value based on the growth in profits. The plan has a five-year vesting schedule. |
The long-term components of our compensation structure are designed to link successful investment performance and longer-term company performance with participant pay, further motivating key employees to continue making important contributions to the success of our business.
Overall, we believe that competitive compensation is essential to retaining top industry talent. With that in mind, we continually reevaluate our compensation policies against industry benchmarks. Our goal is to offer portfolio managers and analyst’s compensation and benefits in the top quartile for comparable experience, as measured by industry benchmarks surveyed by independent firms such as McLagan and ECS (Watson Wyatt Data Services).
