Dear Shareholders:
YTD 2016 Review
The market for high yield debt (also known as “junk bonds”) bounced back from negative returns in 2015 to post a return of 9.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Investors treated high yield debt favorably as a source of yield amid a generally constructive U.S. economy. Returns within the high yield sector were led by an improving commodities price picture. Price stability in oil and metals helped drive a strong recovery in the commodity-dependent sectors from February lows. Sharply falling U.S. Treasury yields amid continued robust central bank support were also positive for bonds across the board. We do not forecast an economic recession in the near term and, as such, believe the market will continue to allow for positive returns in high yield despite increasing defaults in commodities sectors. While we believe first-half returns are unlikely to be repeated, we currently intend to look for coupon-like returns through the second half of the year, with an eye toward commodity prices and “Brexit” as potential sources of volatility. Our base case macro forecast is a slow-growth U.S. economy, which would be a net positive for high yield borrowers that generally have reasonable leverage, good balance sheets and access to capital markets.
Our investment strategy continued to be based upon a process that is intended to take specific, targeted credit risk when our analysis indicated a favorable risk/reward opportunity, while building a core of what we believed to be improving credits. We made a conscious effort to position the Pacholder High Yield Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) into higher quality credits across economic sectors and made a meaningful migration from lower-tier credit into BB-rated credit over the past 24 months as volatility persisted in the market. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund returned 12.81% based on net asset value (“NAV”) compared to the 9.02% return for the Credit Suisse High Yield Index, Developed Countries Only (the “Index”) and the 7.61% average total return of the Morningstar Closed-End High Yield Category. Fund performance for the period includes the benefit of repurchasing auction rate preferred stock (“ARPS”) at a discount.
The Fund outperformed the Index during the reporting period due primarily to positive performance and the impact of leverage. Additionally, the Fund’s security selection in the chemicals, food and drug, and utility sectors added to relative performance. On an industry level, underweight positions in the consumer products and services sectors also helped the Fund’s relative return. During the same period, negative security selection in the energy, health care, transportation and financial sectors hurt relative performance. On an industry level, the Fund’s underweight position in energy and its overweight position in media and telecommunications also detracted from relative returns.
Fund Strategy
The Fund invests in all types of high-yield, high-risk debt securities and focuses on value by looking at individual securities against the context of broader market factors. The Fund’s portfolio managers monitor investments by staying abreast of positive and negative credit developments and having regular discussions with senior management of issuers of the Fund’s investments.
Auction Rate Preferred Shares and Dividends
Since February 2008, most auctions for preferred shares of closed-end funds and auction rate securities of other issuers have failed. The weekly auctions for the Fund’s ARPS have failed since February 13, 2008. Since that time, a number of broker-dealers have repurchased auction rate securities from certain clients. On March 11, 2016, the Fund commenced a cash tender offer to purchase up to 100% of its outstanding ARPS at a price equal to 95.5% of the liquidation preference of $25,000 per share (or $23,875 per share). The aggregate number of ARPS purchased in the tender offer represented approximately 98% of the Fund’s outstanding ARPS. ARPS of the Fund that were not tendered remain outstanding. The aggregate discount on the ARPS repurchased was $1,901,250, or $0.15 per share, which contributed 2.25% to the return during the period. The Fund’s purchase of the ARPS was financed through a $50 million credit facility entered into with Pershing LLC. The Fund paid a monthly dividend of $0.053 per common share starting in September 2014 until March 2015. In March 2015, the Board of Directors of the Fund authorized a reduction in the monthly dividend amount from $0.053 per common share to $0.050 per common share. The Board of Directors will continue to monitor the appropriateness of the dividend level going forward in light of market conditions and income earned by the Fund over time, and there can be no guarantee that the dividend level will continue or that a dividend will be paid at all. The amount of the monthly dividend, if any, may be more or less than the actual income earned by the Fund in a given month.
As always, we appreciate your interest in the Fund and look forward to your continued support.
Sincerely,
George C.W. Gatch

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Closed-end funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown.
J.P. Morgan Asset Management is the marketing name for the asset management businesses of JPMorgan Chase & Co. Those businesses include, but are not limited to, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., Security Capital Research & Management Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Alternative Asset Management, Inc.
Securities rated below investment grade are called “high-yield bonds,” “non-investment grade bonds,” “below investment-grade bonds,” or “junk bonds.” They generally are rated in the fifth or lower rating categories of Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service. Although these securities tend to provide higher yields than higher rated securities, there is a greater risk that the Fund’s share value will decline. Because this Fund primarily invests in bonds, it is subject to interest rate risks. Bond prices generally fall when interest rates rise.

11 | Ratios calculated relative to the average net assets of common stockholders only. |
12 | Portfolio turnover is calculated by dividing the lesser of total purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the reporting period by the monthly average value of portfolio securities owned during the reporting period. Excluded from both the numerator and denominator are amounts relating to derivatives and securities whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition were one year or less. |
13 | Calculated by subtracting the Fund’s total liabilities (not including the preferred stock) from the Fund’s total net assets, and dividing this by the number of preferred shares outstanding. |
14 | Included in the total return at net asset value is the impact of the tender and repurchase by the Fund of a portion of its ARPS at 95.5% of the ARPS’ per share liquidation preference. Had this transaction not occurred, the total return at net asset value would have been lowered by 2.25%. |
15 | The Adviser and Administrator voluntarily agreed to waive/reimburse fees during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Without these waivers/reimbursements, the ratios would have been higher by less than 0.1% for six months ended June 30, 2016, years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011. |

PACHOLDER HIGH YIELD FUND, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. | ORGANIZATION — Pacholder High Yield Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is a closed-end, diversified management investment company with a leveraged capital structure. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of total return through current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in high yield, fixed income securities of domestic companies. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its assets in high yield debt securities. The Fund invests primarily in high yield fixed income securities of domestic companies. The Fund was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland in August 1988. |
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”) an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”) acts as Adviser (the “Adviser”) and Administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Fund. Prior to April 1, 2016, JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”) served as the Fund’s administrator. Effective April 1, 2016, JPMFM merged into JPMIM and JPMIM became the Fund’s Administrator under the Administration Agreement.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
A. | SECURITY VALUATIONS — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Fund’s valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at such unadjusted quoted prices and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board. |
The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Fund’s investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Fund. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight, including but not limited to consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.
A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Fund’s investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Board. This may include related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used, had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material.
Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from Pricing Services. The Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine the valuation of fixed income instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which trades or quotes from market makers are used to determine the valuation of these instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist, the Pricing Services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics in order to
32
Table of Contents
PACHOLDER HIGH YIELD FUND, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values.
Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Fund are calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.
Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.
The various inputs that are used in determining the valuation of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.
• Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
• Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.
• Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.
See the table on “Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements” for information on the valuation techniques and inputs used to value Level 3 securities held by the Fund at June 30, 2016.
The following table represents each valuation input by sector as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“SOI”):

Transfers between fair value levels are valued utilizing values as of the beginning of the year.
Transfers from level 2 to level 3 are due to a decline in market activity (e.g. frequency of trades), which resulted in a lack of available market inputs to determine the price for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
The change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to securities owned at June 30, 2016, which were valued using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) amounted to $(81,597). This amount is included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation of investments in non-affiliates on the Statement of Operations.

# | The table above does not include certain level 3 securities that are valued by brokers and pricing services. At June 30, 2016, the value of these securities was $957,189. The inputs for these securities are not readily available or cannot be reasonably estimated and are generally those inputs described in Note 2A. The appropriateness of fair values for these securities is monitored on an ongoing basis which may include results of back testing, unchanged price review, results of broker and vendor due diligence and consideration of macro or security specific events. |
(a) | Represents amounts used when the reporting entity has determined that market participants would take into account such multiples when pricing the investments. |
(b) | Represents amounts used when the reporting entity has determined that market participants would take into account discounts, as applicable, when pricing the investments. |
(c) | Value is zero. |
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s investments are listed above. Generally, a change in the assumptions used in any input in isolation may be accompanied by a change in another input. Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs may significantly impact the fair value measurement. The impact is based on the relationship between each unobservable input and the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in enterprise multiples may increase (decrease) the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount for lack of marketability, liquidity discount, probability of default, yield, and default rate may decrease (increase) the fair value measurement. A significant change in the prepayment rate (Constant Prepayment Rate or PSA Prepayment Model) may decrease or increase the fair value measurement. A significant change in broker pricing information could result in a significantly higher or lower value in such level 3 instruments.
B. | FEDERAL TAXES — It is the Fund’s policy to make distributions to stockholders of net investment income and net realized capital gains to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. |
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the appropriate provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute to stockholders each year substantially all of its taxable income, if any, including realized gains on investments.
Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of June 30, 2016, no liability for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards prior three fiscal years remains or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s federal tax returns for the subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

PACHOLDER HIGH YIELD FUND, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
The Fund reserves the right to retain investment company taxable income and/or net capital gains. As such, excise taxes may be recognized and paid on undistributed income and capital gain amounts.
The Fund did not retain any investment company taxable income and/or net capital gains.
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.
C. | SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME —Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend. |
D. | EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS — Expenses are accrued as incurred. Dividends to common stockholders are generally declared and paid monthly from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Dividends to preferred stockholders are accrued daily based on a variable interest rate set at weekly auctions or, in the absence of a successful auction, at a maximum rate as calculated in accordance with the Fund’s Articles Supplementary for Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock and are paid weekly from net investment income. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. |
E. | LOAN ASSIGNMENTS — The Fund may invest in debt instruments that are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates (a “Lender”) by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers (a “Borrower”). A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “Agent”) that acts as Agent for all holders. The Agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Fund invests in loan assignments of all or a portion of the loans. When the Fund purchases a loan assignment, the Fund has direct rights against the Borrower on a loan, provided, however, the Fund’s rights may be more limited than the Lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce its rights only through the Agent. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower as well as any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the Borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). The Fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on a loan assignment or suffer a loss of principal and/or interest if assets or interests held by the Agent or other Intermediate Participants are determined to be subject to the claims of the Agent’s or other Intermediate Participant’s creditors. In addition, it is unclear whether loan assignments and other forms of direct indebtedness offer securities law protections against fraud and misrepresentation. Also, because JPMIM, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, may wish to invest in publicly traded securities of a Borrower on behalf of its clients, it may not have access to material non-public information regarding the Borrower to which other investors have access. Although certain loan assignments are secured by collateral, the Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing the value on such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the Borrower. Loan assignments are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for assignments and certain assignments which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid and they may be difficult to value. In addition, the settlement period for loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Therefore, the Fund may not receive the proceeds from a sale of such investments for a period after the sale. |
Certain loan assignments are also subject to the risks associated with high yield securities described under Note 11.
3. | COMMON STOCK — At June 30, 2016, there were 49,996,320 shares of common stock with a $0.01 par value authorized and 12,996,610 outstanding. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, the Fund did not issue any shares of common stock in connection with its dividend reinvestment plan. |
4. | PREFERRED STOCK — On June 29, 2001, the Fund issued shares of Series W Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock (“ARPS”) at an offering price of $25,000 per share. Dividends on these shares are paid weekly at an annual rate determined by a weekly auction or, in the |

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
absence of a successful auction, at a maximum rate as calculated in accordance with the Fund’s Articles Supplementary for Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock. In general, the holders of the ARPS and the common stock vote together as a single class, except that the ARPS stockholders, as a separate class, vote to elect two members of the Board. The ARPS have a liquidation value of $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. At June 30, 2016, accrued ARPS dividends were $12. |
The Fund is subject to certain limitations and restrictions associated with outstanding shares of ARPS, including maintaining an asset coverage ratio of 200% for such shares. Failure to comply with these limitations and restrictions could preclude the Fund from declaring any dividends or distributions to common stockholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of ARPS at their liquidation value.
The weekly auction for the ARPS issued by the Fund has failed since February 13, 2008, due to insufficient demand (bids to buy shares) to meet supply (shares offered for sale) at the auction. Holders of ARPS who wish to sell in an auction will not be able to do so until there is a successful auction with sufficient demand for the shares. Failed auctions are not considered a default by the Fund and do not alter the credit quality of the ARPS. However, failed auctions may increase the cost of the Fund’s leverage and decrease the income available for common stockholders. ARPS holders have continued to receive dividends at the “maximum rate” set on the date of the failed auction, and the liquidation value of $25,000 per share (plus accumulated but unpaid dividends, if any) is unaffected. Based on the rating assigned to the Fund’s ARPS, the maximum rate may range from 150%-275% of the “AA” Financial Composite Commercial Paper Rate as of a given auction date. The maximum rate incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2016, ranged from 0.437% to 0.602%. The maximum rate as of the August 17th, 2016 auction was 0.617%, which is 150% of the “AA” Financial Composite Commercial Paper Rate on that date.
On March 11, 2016, the Fund commenced a tender offer for up to 100% of its outstanding ARPS. The Fund offered to purchase the ARPS at 95.5% of the liquidation preference of $25,000 (or $23,875 per share), plus any unpaid accrued dividends through the expiration of the offer. The tender offer expired on April 14, 2016. The Fund accepted for payment 1,690 ARPS that were tendered and not withdrawn. This represented approximately 98.3% of its outstanding ARPS. The Fund has 30 ARPS that remain outstanding.
5. | BORROWINGS — On April 5, 2016, the Fund entered into a credit agreement with Pershing LLC pursuant to which the Fund may borrow up to an aggregate amount of $50,000,000. Under the terms and conditions provided in the agreement for Pershing LLC to provide financing, the Fund will provide pledged collateral. This agreement is terminable with 180 days’ written notice by the Fund or the counterparty. Loans made under the credit agreement will accrue interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR offered rate plus 75 basis points. The average interest rate on the amount borrowed during the period was 1.20%. On April 19, 2016, the Fund borrowed $40,348,750 to fund the purchase of the ARPS and $40,348,750 is outstanding as of the period ended June 30, 2016. For the period ended June 30, 2016, the Fund paid $96,480 in interest, which is included in Interest Expense on the Statement of Operations. |
The Fund pays a minimum balance transfer fee to the counterparty at a rate of one month Libor plus 0.60%, on the difference between total amount borrowed and an agreed upon minimum balance. For the period ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not pay a minimum balance fee.
The credit agreement contains certain representations and warranties, and notice requirements for the occurrence of specific events such as the occurrence of any event of default, or pending or threatened litigation. The credit agreement requires compliance with certain covenants, including certain minimum margin requirements, retention of the Fund’s net asset value above specified threshold levels, limitations on the incurrence of additional liens and limitations on the ability of the Fund to sell, lease or otherwise transfer all or any substantial part of its assets to any other entity, with certain exceptions. In addition, the Fund is subject to certain limitations and restrictions as a result of borrowing under the credit agreement, including maintaining an asset coverage ratio of 300%. Failure to comply with these limitations and restrictions could preclude the Fund from declaring any dividends or distributions to common stockholders.
6. | PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES — Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended June 30, 2016, aggregated $26,387,580 and $27,392,566, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities. |
7. | TRANSACTIONS WITH INVESTMENT ADVISER, ADMINISTRATOR, ACCOUNTING SERVICES AGENT AND CUSTODIAN — JPMIM serves as investment adviser to the Fund under an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the Advisory Agreement, |
38
Table of Contents
PACHOLDER HIGH YIELD FUND, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
JPMIM is entitled to receive an annual investment advisory fee, computed and paid monthly after the end of each calendar month, at a rate that increases or decreases from a “fulcrum fee” of 0.90% of the Fund’s average net assets over a rolling 12-month period. The increase or decrease is calculated by comparing the total return investment performance of the Fund (net of all fees and expenses, including the advisory fee) for the prior 12-month period (the “Fund Return”) to the percentage change in the Credit Suisse High Yield Index, Developed Countries Only (the “Index”) for the same period. The fee rate is 0.90% of the Fund’s average net assets if the performance of the Fund Return equals the Index Return. The fee rate increases or decreases from the 0.90% “fulcrum fee” by 10% of the difference between the Fund Return and the Index Return, up to the maximum fee rate of 1.40% or down to the minimum fee rate of 0.40%. The fee rate is calculated monthly based on the performance of the Fund compared to the Index during the rolling twelve month period. This rate is applied to the average net assets (defined as the total assets of the Fund minus liabilities other than the principal amount of any outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness and the liquidation preference of the ARPS) during the entire 12-month period. The compensation due to the Adviser after the end of each month shall be equal to 1/12th of the amount of the advisory fee calculated as stated above. |
Advisory fees for the six months ended June 30, 2016 amounted to $556,996 which calculated to an annualized effective rate of 0.79%. The advisory fee rate calculated for the one month ended June 30, 2016 was a rate of 1.00%.
The Fund has an administrative services agreement with JPMIM pursuant to which the Administrator provides administrative services to the Fund. Under the agreement, the Administrator receives from the Fund a fee, accrued at least weekly and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.10% of the average weekly net assets of the Fund. At June 30, 2016, accrued administrative fees were $9,143.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan serves as the Fund’s sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.
The Fund has a Global Custody and Fund Accounting Agreement (the “Agreement”) with JPMCB. For providing custody services under the Agreement, JPMCB is entitled to a fee from the Fund, accrued weekly and paid monthly. For performing these services, the Fund pays JPMCB transaction and asset based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statement of Operations. Payments to the custodian may be reduced by credits earned by the Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits, if any, are presented separately on the Statement of Operations.
Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). Effective November 1, 2015, the Adviser and Administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund.
The amount of waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $1,716.
Certain officers of the Fund are affiliated with the Adviser and the Administrator. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund for serving in their respective roles.
The Board appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with Federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Directors’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund adopted a Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Directors to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Directors. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Fund after December 31, 2010 are carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Prior to the Act, net capital losses incurred by the Fund were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
At December 31, 2015, the Fund had post-enactment net capital loss carryforwards which are available to offset future realized gains:

9. | RESTRICTED SECURITIES — Certain securities held by the Fund may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the net assets of the Fund. |
As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Fund under Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
10. | OTHER — The Fund may use related party broker-dealers. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser. |
11. | RISKS, CONCENTRATIONS AND INDEMNIFICATIONS — Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in high yield debt securities. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher-rated securities. These securities involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims. |
The ability of the issuers of debt and asset-backed securities, including sub-prime securities, along with counterparties to swap agreements, to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region. The value of asset-backed securities, including sub-prime securities, can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates or rapid principal payments including prepayments.
The Fund’s officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
As of June 30, 2016, the Fund is a party to loan assignments that were transacted with Morgan Stanley in the normal course of business.
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The Fund invests in floating rate loans and other floating rate debt securities. Although these securities are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate loans and other floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise. Some examples include central bank monetary policy, rising inflation rates and general economic conditions. Given the historically low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are

heightened. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.
The Fund is subject to risks associated with asset-backed and mortgage-related securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations backed by sub-prime mortgage loans. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, prepayments, delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
The Fund is subject to the risk that should the Fund decide to sell an illiquid investment when a ready buyer is not available at a price the Fund deems representative of its value, the value of the Fund’s net assets could be adversely affected.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)
Portfolio Holdings Information
No sooner than 10 days after the end of each month, the Fund’s uncertified complete schedule of its portfolio holdings as well as certain other fund facts and statistical information will be available on our website (www.pacholder.com). In addition, the Fund files its certified, complete schedule of its portfolio holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Qs are available, without charge, on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Form N-Qs may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
No sooner than 10 calendar days after the end of each month, the Fund’s top 10 holdings as of the last day of each month as well as certain other fund facts and statistical information will also be available on the Fund’s website.
Statement of Additional Information
The Fund does not make available copies of its Statement of Additional Information because the Fund’s shares are not continuously offered, which means that the Statement of Additional Information has not been updated after completion of the Fund’s offerings and the information contained therein may have become outdated.
Proxy Voting
A description of the policies and procedures used by the Fund to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities, as well as information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, is available (i) without charge, on the Fund’s website at www.pacholder.com and (ii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) offers Common Stockholders (“Shareholders”) a convenient way to invest their income dividends and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the Fund’s common stock.
Shareholders who participate in the Plan will have all income dividends and capital gain distributions automatically reinvested by Computershare Investor Services LLC (the “Plan Agent”) pursuant to the Plan. When a dividend is declared, Shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash, paid by check, mailed directly to the Shareholder of record (or if the shares are held in street name or nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent, which serves as agent for the Shareholders in administering the Plan. Shareholders who participate in the Plan will receive the equivalent in shares of the Fund valued at the lower of market price or net asset valued as described below. (i) If the shares are trading at net asset value or at a premium above net asset value on the payment date, the Fund will issue new shares at the greater of net asset value or 95% of the current market price. (ii) If the shares are trading at a discount from net asset value on payment date, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and apply it to the purchase of the Fund’s shares in the open market, on the NYSE MKT or elsewhere, for the participants’ accounts. If before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the net asset value per share, the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the exceed the net asset value of the Fund’s shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. If the purchases have not been made prior to 30 days after the payment date, the Plan Agent may receive the uninvested portion in newly issued shares.
The Plan Agent’s fees for handling the reinvestment of Dividends will be paid by the Fund. There will be no brokerage charge to Shareholders for shares issued directly by the Fund as a result of dividends or distributions payable either in stock or cash. Each Shareholder who participates in the Plan, however will pay pro rate share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open-market-purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends or distributions.
The automatic reinvestment of income dividends and capital gain distributions will not relieve a Shareholder of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable on such dividends. Therefore, income and capital gains may still be realized even though Shareholders do not receive cash.
A Shareholder may terminate his/her account under the Plan by notifying the Plan Agent in writing. Upon termination, a shareholder can either receive a certificate for the number of full shares held in the Plan and a check for fractional shares or have shares sold by the Plan Agent and the proceeds sent to the shareholder, less a transaction fee of $15 plus $0.07 per share.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at Computershare Trust Company, N.A. Dividend Reinvestment Services, P.O. Box A3309, Chicago, IL 60690-3309, by calling 888-294-8217 or www.computershare.com.
