President’s Letter

Dear Shareholders,

On February 13, 2023, Amundi US celebrated the 95^th anniversary of Pioneer Fund, the second-oldest mutual fund in the United States. We recognized the anniversary with ringing of the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange, which seemed fitting for this special milestone.

Pioneer Fund was launched on February 13, 1928 by Phil Carret, one of the earliest proponents of value investing and a leading innovator in the asset management industry. Mr. Carret began investing in the 1920s and founded Pioneer Investments (now Amundi US) in 1928, and was one of the first investors to realize he could uncover value through rigorous, innovative, fundamental research techniques.

Consistent with Mr. Carret’s investment approach and employing many of the same techniques utilized in the 1920s, Amundi US's portfolio managers have adapted Mr. Carret’s philosophy to a new age of “active” investing.

The last few years have seen investors face some unprecedented challenges, from a global pandemic that shuttered much of the world’s economy for months, to geopolitical strife, to rising inflation that has reached levels not seen in decades. Now, more than ever, Amundi US believes active management – that is, making active investment decisions across all of our portfolios – can help mitigate risk during periods of market volatility.

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

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

Portfolio Management Discussion | 5/31/23

In the following interview, Marco Pirondini, Brian Chen, and Jeff Sacknowitz discuss the market environment for international equities and the factors that influenced the performance of Pioneer International Equity Fund during the six-month period ended May 31, 2023. Mr. Pirondini, Senior Managing Director, Head of Equities, US, and a portfolio manager at Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. (Amundi US), Mr. Chen, a senior vice president and a portfolio manager at Amundi US, and Mr. Sacknowitz, a vice president and a portfolio manager at Amundi US, are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.

Q	How did the Fund perform during the six-month period ended May 31, 2023?
A	Pioneer International Equity Fund’s Class A shares returned 7.41% at net asset value during the six-month period ended May 31, 2023, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) NR Index (the MSCI Index)*, returned 6.89%. During the same six-month period, the average return for the 749 mutual funds in Morningstar’s Foreign Large Blend Funds category was 4.49%.
Q	How would you characterize the investment environment for international equities during the six-month period ended May 31, 2023?
A	International equities performed well during the period, despite market and interest-rate volatility. During the first half of the six month-period, stocks in the EAFE universe represented by the Fund’s benchmark outperformed US stocks. European equities turned in the best relative performance during those first three

	months of the period, driven by optimism about Europe’s economic recovery and a warmer-than-expected winter that helped to temper energy prices. Meanwhile, recession fears, high inflation, and rising interest rates, among other factors, weighed on US equities. Against that backdrop, value stocks outperformed growth stocks.
	The environment changed in the second half of the six-month period, as trends reversed and stocks in the EAFE universe lagged the performance of US equities. Key drags on the performance of non-US stocks during the second half of the period included a weakening economic outlook for Europe as well as China’s post-pandemic reopening delivering slower-than-expected economic growth. Japanese equities performed well, however, with the weak yen helping to boost exports. Over the final three months of the period, growth stocks rebounded to outperform value, with the outperformance driven by a rally in shares of technology companies in general, and companies with exposure to artificial intelligence (AI).
Q	Which of your investment strategies or individual portfolio holdings contributed positively to the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance during the six-month period ended May 31, 2023?
A	Positive stock selection results were the primary factor in the Fund’s benchmark-relative outperformance during the six-month period, particularly within the industrials sector. The portfolio’s regional positioning also had a positive effect on the Fund’s relative returns, as our decision to trim the Fund’s benchmark-relative overweight to Europe and increase exposure to Japanese stocks over the second half of the period was beneficial for relative results. In Japan, we have focused on investments in financial and industrial stocks, including shares of manufacturers whose profitability could benefit, we think, from a weaker yen and a stronger US dollar (USD). The Fund continued to have an overweight exposure to Northeast Asia relative to the MSCI Index during the period, as we believe the region could be a beneficiary of a potential post-COVID-19 recovery in China. The portfolio’s positioning in Japan included exposures to many strong financial, industrial, and consumer discretionary companies.

Pioneer International Equity Fund | Semiannual Report | 5/31/235

Table of Contents

	With regard to sector allocation, the Fund’s overweight positioning in financials aided benchmark-relative performance for the six-month period.
	At the individual security level, portfolio positions that were key contributors to the Fund’s positive benchmark-relative returns for the period included Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), European bank ABN AMRO, and Mitsubishi Electric.
	Semiconductor-company AMD derives a majority of its sales from outside the United States. The company’s share price benefited as demand for semiconductor stocks accelerated over the six-month period, driven by increasing market interest in AI, as investors contemplated headlines about “ChatGPT” and other technologies with the potential to revolutionize the economy. We continue to hold the stock in the portfolio as the company, in our opinion, is better positioned than its competitors, and could continue to gain market share, given the strength of its product set and in integrated-chip technology. Within financials, shares of ABN AMRO Bank (Netherlands) contributed strongly to the Fund’s positive benchmark-relative results for the six-month period. The bank has streamlined its business activities, including selling off unprofitable non-core assets, which has in turn strengthened ABN’s balance sheet and improved profitability. In addition, ABN benefited from higher interest rates during the period, which have increased net-interest margins. We continue to hold the stock in the portfolio, as we believe ABN has an attractive valuation and large amounts of excess capital.
	Finally, in Japan, the Fund’s position in Mitsubishi Electric, a Japanese multinational electronics and electrical equipment manufacturing company, was another key positive contributor to benchmark-relative results for the six-month period. As an export-oriented business, the company has benefited from a weaker yen, which has tended to make Japanese products more competitive in other currencies. We are also encouraged by management’s efforts to streamline the company’s businesses and to divest from unprofitable or low-return businesses. In addition, management’s efforts to improve corporate governance and transparency have been increasing Mitsubishi’s profitability and attracting foreign investors, which in turn has helped drive

6Pioneer International Equity Fund | Semiannual Report | 5/31/23

Table of Contents

	the stock price higher. We have retained the Fund’s position in Mitsubishi, as we believe it is an attractively valued stock relative to shares of other global industrial firms.
Q	Which investment strategies or individual portfolio holdings detracted from the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance during the six-month period ended May 31, 2023?
A	With regard to sector allocation, the biggest detractors from the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance over the six-month period were the portfolio’s underweight exposure to the outperforming health care sector, and overweight to the underperforming energy sector.
	Individual portfolio positions that detracted the most from the Fund’s relative returns during the six-month period included Pfizer, FinecoBank, and Euronext.
	In 2022, investors had flocked to pharmaceutical stocks in an effort to weather market volatility. So far during 2023, however, the market has largely rotated out of the industry in favor of other investment opportunities. The Fund’s investment in Pfizer, a US-domiciled firm that generates more than 50% of its revenues internationally, came under pressure during the period when the company lowered revenue guidance for its COVID-19-related drugs. However, we have maintained a favorable outlook with regard to the large number of drugs in Pfizer’s pipeline. We believe many of the treatments currently in development have the potential for success. They include therapies for both obesity and cancer. In our view, Pfizer is not receiving enough credit from investors for the potential of the company’s drugs in development. We expect to have a better sense of the drugs’ prospects in the second half of 2023, when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is expected to provide updates on their safety and effectiveness.
	A position in FinecoBank, an Italian financial company that provides an online investment platform, was another detractor from the Fund’s relative performance for the six-month period. In March 2023, the failure of regional banks in California and New York, and UBS’s surprised rescue of Credit Suisse, raised concerns about the health of the banking sector and potential instability in the financial system. Despite quick actions by

Table of Contents

	central banks to try and limit systemic risk and prevent contagion on a wider scale, investors’ initial reaction to the negative news was to sell stocks of financial firms perceived to be at risk of deposit outflows and Fineco was one of the companies affected by the selloff. That said, we remain upbeat in our assessment of Fineco, given the secular growth prospects for its unique business model, which offers banking, investment, and trading services from a single platform.
	Finally, a position in Euronext detracted from the Fund’s relative performance for the six-month period. Euronext is one of Europe’s leading stock exchange platforms. The company’s share price declined during the period as market worries centering on lower equity prices and competition in the equity trading business resulted in lower trading fees for Euronext. We continue to hold the stock in the portfolio, as we believe the company could continue to see steady profit growth driven by the range of fee businesses it provides that are not dependent on equity trading volumes.
Q	Did the Fund have any exposure to derivatives during the six-month period ended May 31, 2023?
A	No, the Fund had no derivatives exposure during the reporting period.
Q	What is your outlook, and how is the Fund positioned heading into the second half of 2023?
A	Looking ahead, we see a complicated macroeconomic picture. We expect the global growth outlook to weaken in the coming months, due to increased concerns about a potential US recession and a sluggish economic recovery in China. Higher interest rates appear to be undermining economic growth in Europe, as construction activity has been declining and industrial production has been weakening. High inflation, although cooling, remains a challenge for key central banks, which suggests interest rates may have to stay higher for longer. That, in turn, could have a further negative effect on economic growth. Geopolitical tensions are also a concern.
	Given our outlook and where we are in the current economic cycle, we have taken steps to position the portfolio with a

Table of Contents

slightly more defensive tilt. We have found what we believe to be attractive opportunities in health care, and recently have added shares of a UK medical device company and a Japanese medical diagnostics company to the portfolio. Those additions had the effect of moving the Fund to an overweight position in health care relative to the MSCI Index. As mentioned earlier, we have increased the Fund’s exposure to Japanese stocks, as we believe business restructuring and the cheaper yen could continue to make local Japanese companies more competitive in a global market.

Against this backdrop, we have remain focused on an all-weather investment approach in managing the Fund. As part of our strategy, we seek to prioritize quality and valuations when making investment decisions. We believe our approach may put the portfolio in a solid position to navigate all types of market conditions.

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility and heightened uncertainty. The market prices of securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political, or regulatory conditions, recessions, inflation, changes in interest or currency rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, armed conflict including Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible
countermeasures, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other government actions, or adverse investor sentiment. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.

Investing in foreign and/or emerging markets securities involves risks relating to interest rates, currency exchange rates, economic, social and political conditions, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.

To the extent the Fund invests in issuers located within specific countries or regions, the Fund may be particularly affected by adverse markets, rates, and events, which may occur in those countries and regions.

The Fund is subject to currency risk, meaning that the Fund could experience losses based on changes in the exchange rate between non-U.S. currencies and the U.S. dollar.

The market price of securities may fluctuate when interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the prices of fixed-income securities in the Fund will generally fall. Conversely, when interest rates fall, the prices of fixed-income securities in the Fund will generally rise.

Comparing Ongoing Fund Expenses

As a shareowner in the Fund, you incur two types of costs:

(1)	ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses; and
(2)	transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments.

This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the Fund’s latest six-month period and held throughout the six months.

Using the Tables

Actual Expenses

The first table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period as follows:

(1)	Divide your account value by $1,000 Example: an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6
(2)	Multiply the result in (1) above by the corresponding share class’s number in the third row under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) that are charged at the time of the transaction. Therefore, the table below is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses Paid on a $1,000 Investment in Pioneer International Equity Fund

Based on a hypothetical 5% return per year before expenses, reflecting the period from December 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023.

Share Class	A	C	K	Y
Beginning Account Value on 12/1/22	$1,000.00	$1,000.00	$1,000.00	$1,000.00
Ending Account Value (after expenses) on 5/31/23	$1,019.40	$1,015.26	$1,021.44	$1,021.44
Expenses Paid During Period*	$5.59	$9.75	$3.53	$3.53


*	Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.11%, 1.94%, 0.70%, and 0.70% for Class A, Class C, Class K, and Class Y shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reﬂect the one-half year period).

1. Organization and Signiﬁcant Accounting Policies

Pioneer International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is the sole portfolio comprising Pioneer Series Trust VIII, a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth of capital.

The Fund offers four classes of shares designated as Class A, Class C, Class K and Class Y shares. Class K shares commenced operations on June 6, 2022. Each class of shares represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and has identical rights (based on relative net asset values) to assets and liquidation proceeds. Share classes can bear different rates of class-specific fees and expenses such as transfer agent and distribution fees. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different dividends from net investment income earned by each class. The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of the Fund gives the Board of Trustees the flexibility to specify either per-share voting or dollar weighted voting when submitting matters for shareowner approval. Under per-share voting, each share of a class of the Fund is entitled to one vote. Under dollar-weighted voting, a shareowner’s voting power is determined not by the number of shares owned, but by the dollar value of the shares on the record date. Each share class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting only that class, including with respect to the distribution plan for that class. There is no distribution plan for Class K or Class Y shares.

Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Amundi and Amundi’s wholly owned subsidiary, Amundi USA, Inc., serves as the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). Amundi Distributor US, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”).

In March 2020, FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update, ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other LIBOR-based reference rates at the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related

Pioneer International Equity Fund | Semiannual Report | 5/31/2333

Table of Contents

contract modifications that occur during the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2023. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on the Fund's investments, derivatives, debt and other contracts, if applicable, that will undergo reference rate-related modifications as a result of the reference rate reform.

The Fund is required to comply with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which governs the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 permits funds to enter into derivatives transactions (as defined in Rule 18f-4) and certain other transactions notwithstanding the restrictions on the issuance of “senior securities” under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. Rule 18f-4 requires a fund to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, appoint a derivatives risk manager and comply with a relative or absolute limit on fund leverage risk calculated based on value-at-risk ("VaR"), unless the fund uses derivatives in only a limited manner (a "limited derivatives user"). The Fund is currently a limited derivatives user for purposes of Rule 18f-4.

The Fund is an investment company and follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). U.S. GAAP requires the management of the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the ﬁnancial statements, and the reported amounts of income, expenses and gain or loss on investments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of signiﬁcant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its ﬁnancial statements:

A.	Security Valuation
	The net asset value of the Fund is computed once daily, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE.
	Equity securities that have traded on an exchange are valued by using the last sale price on the principal exchange where they are traded. Equity securities that have not traded on the date of valuation, or securities for which sale prices are not available, generally are valued using the mean between the last bid and asked prices or, if both last bid and asked prices are not available, at the last quoted bid price. Last sale and bid and asked prices are provided by independent third party pricing services. In the case of equity securities not traded on an exchange, prices are typically determined by independent third party pricing services using a variety of techniques and methods.

34Pioneer International Equity Fund | Semiannual Report | 5/31/23

Table of Contents

	The principal exchanges and markets for non-U.S. equity securities have closing times prior to the close of the NYSE. However, the value of these securities may be influenced by changes in global markets occurring after the closing times of the local exchanges and markets up to the time the Fund determines its net asset value. Consequently, the Adviser uses a fair value model developed by an independent pricing service to value non-U.S. equity securities. On a daily basis, the pricing service recommends changes, based on a proprietary model, to the closing market prices of each non-U.S. security held by the Fund to reflect the security's fair value at the time the Fund determines its net asset value. These recommendations are applied in accordance with the Adviser's (the valuation designee's) procedures.
	The value of foreign securities is translated into U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing source.
	Options contracts are generally valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices on the principal exchange where they are traded. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options and options on swaps (“swaptions”) are valued using prices supplied by independent pricing services, which consider such factors as market prices, market events, quotations from one or more brokers, Treasury spreads, yields, maturities and ratings, or may use a pricing matrix or other fair value methods or techniques to provide an estimated value of the security or instrument.
	Shares of open-end registered investment companies (including money market mutual funds) are valued at such funds’ net asset value.
	Securities for which independent pricing services or broker-dealers are unable to supply prices or for which market prices and/or quotations are not readily available or are considered to be unreliable are valued by a fair valuation team comprised of certain personnel of the Adviser. The Adviser is designated as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Adviser’s fair valuation team is responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair valued securities.
	Inputs used when applying fair value methods to value a security may include credit ratings, the financial condition of the company, current market conditions and comparable securities. The Adviser may use fair value methods if it is determined that a significant event has occurred after the close of the exchange or market on which the security trades and prior to the determination of the Fund's net asset value. Examples of a significant event might include political or economic news, corporate restructurings, natural disasters, terrorist activity or trading

Table of Contents

	halts. Thus, the valuation of the Fund's securities may differ significantly from exchange prices, and such differences could be material.
B.	Investment Income and Transactions
	Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund becomes aware of the ex-dividend data in the exercise of reasonable diligence.
	Interest income, including interest on income-bearing cash accounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend and interest income are reported net of unrecoverable foreign taxes withheld at the applicable country rates and net of income accrued on defaulted securities.
	Interest and dividend income payable by delivery of additional shares is reclassified as PIK (payment-in-kind) income upon receipt and is included in interest and dividend income, respectively.
	Security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost method for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.
C.	Foreign Currency Translation
	The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates.
	Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, if any, represent, among other things, the net realized gains and losses on foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income accrued and the U.S. dollars actually received. Further, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated on the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in the market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
D.	Federal Income Taxes
	It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareowners. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of May 31, 2023, the Fund did not accrue any interest or

Table of Contents

	penalties with respect to uncertain tax positions, which, if applicable, would be recorded as an income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. Tax returns filed within the prior three years remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities.
	The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to shareowners are determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary over distributions for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or classification of income or distributions for financial statement and tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character, but are not adjusted for temporary differences.
	The tax character of current year distributions payable will be determined at the end of the current taxable year. The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended November 30, 2022 was as follows:

	2022
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$3,763,352
Long-term capital gains	2,141,471
Total	$5,904,823

The following shows the components of distributable earnings (losses) on a federal income tax basis at November 30, 2022:

	2022
Distributable earnings/(losses):
Undistributed ordinary income	$ 2,424,945
Undistributed long-term capital gains	153,233
Other book/tax temporary differences	(10)
Net unrealized appreciation	7,720,217
Total	$10,298,385

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and adjustments relating to Passive Foreign Investment Companies ("PFICs").

E.	Fund Shares
	The Fund records sales and repurchases of its shares as of trade date. The Distributor earned $3,057 in underwriting commissions on the sale of Class A shares during the six months ended May 31, 2023.

Pioneer International Equity Fund | Semiannual Report | 5/31/2337

Table of Contents

F.	Class Allocations
	Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated at the Fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on its respective percentage of adjusted net assets at the beginning of the day.
	Distribution fees are calculated based on the average daily net asset value attributable to Class A and Class C shares of the Fund, respectively (see Note 5). Class K and Class Y shares do not pay distribution fees. All expenses and fees paid to the Fund's transfer agent for its services are allocated among the classes of shares based on the number of accounts in each class and the ratable allocation of related out-of-pocket expenses (see Note 4).
	Distributions to shareowners are recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions paid by the Fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner and at the same time, except that net investment income dividends to Class A, Class C, Class K and Class Y shares can reflect different transfer agent and distribution expense rates.
G.	Risks
	The value of securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inﬂation, changes in interest rates, armed conflict including Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In the past several years, ﬁnancial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Inflation and interest rates have increased and may rise further. These circumstances could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments, impair the Fund's ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund's performance.
	The global pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Global financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly

38Pioneer International Equity Fund | Semiannual Report | 5/31/23

Table of Contents

	large losses. These circumstances may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities have lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, geopolitical or other events or conditions.
	Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time.
	The U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the U.S. has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. If the political climate between the U.S. and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China were to attempt unification of Taiwan by force, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund's assets may go down.
	At times, the Fund’s investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, making the Fund more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors.
	Normally, the Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities of non-U.S. issuers. The Fund’s investments in foreign markets and countries with limited developing markets may subject the Fund to a greater degree of risk than investments in a developed market. These risks include disruptive political or economic conditions, military conflicts and sanctions, terrorism, sustained economic downturns, financial instability, reduction of government or central bank support, inadequate accounting standards, tariffs, tax disputes or other tax burdens, nationalization or expropriation of assets, and the imposition of adverse governmental laws, arbitrary application of laws and regulations or lack of rule of law, or currency exchange restrictions. Lack of information and less market regulation also may affect the value of

Pioneer International Equity Fund | Semiannual Report | 5/31/2339

Table of Contents

	these securities. Withholding and other non-U.S. taxes may decrease the Fund’s return. Non-U.S. issuers may be located in parts of the world that have historically been prone to natural disasters. Investing in depositary receipts is subject to many of the same risks as investing directly in non-U.S. issuers. Depositary receipts may involve higher expenses and may trade at a discount (or premium) to the underlying security. A number of countries in the European Union (EU) have experienced, and may continue to experience, severe economic and financial difficulties. In addition, voters in the United Kingdom withdrew from the EU, commonly referred to as “Brexit.” There is significant market uncertainty regarding Brexit’s ramifications. The range and potential implications of possible political, regulatory, economic, and market outcomes cannot be fully known but could be significant, potentially resulting in increased volatility and illiquidity and lower economic growth for companies that rely significantly on Europe for their business activities and revenues.
	Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In response to the military action by Russia, various countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, and European Union issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Since then, Russian securities have lost all, or nearly all, their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have been adversely affected. The United States and other countries may impose sanctions on other countries, companies and individuals in light of Russia’s military invasion. The extent and duration of the impact of existing and future sanctions, market disruptions and volatility, and the result of any diplomatic negotiations cannot be predicted. These and any related events could have a significant impact on the value and liquidity of certain Fund investments, on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, particularly with respect to securities and commodities, such as oil, natural gas and food commodities,as well as other sectors with exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other countries affected by the invasion, and are likely to have collateral impacts on market sectors globally.
	To the extent that the Fund invests from time to time more than 25% of its assets in issuers organized or located in a particular geographic region, including but not limited to issuers organized or located in Japan or the United Kingdom or in securities quoted or denominated in the Japanese yen, the British pound and the euro, the Fund may be particularly affected by adverse securities markets, exchange rates and social, political, regulatory or economic events which may occur in those countries or regions. The Japanese economy is highly dependent upon

Table of Contents

international trade, particularly with the United States and other Asian countries. Because of its trade dependence, the Japanese economy is particularly exposed to the risks of currency fluctuation, foreign trade policy and regional and global economic disruption. In addition, the Japanese economy has been adversely affected by certain structural issues, including an aging population, an unstable financial sector, substantial government deficits, and natural and environmental disasters. To the extent the Fund invests from time to time in issuers organized or located in China, the Fund may be particularly affected by adverse securities markets, exchange rates and social, political, regulatory or economic events which may occur in China. In addition, the U.S. government has imposed restrictions on U.S. investor participation in certain Chinese investments, which may limit the securities in which the Fund may invest, and require the Fund to sell certain investments.

With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. While the Fund’s Adviser has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, limit or mitigate, such cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identiﬁed. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers to the Fund such as the Fund’s custodian and accounting agent, and the Fund’s transfer agent. In addition, many beneﬁcial owners of Fund shares hold them through accounts at broker-dealers, retirement platforms and other ﬁnancial market participants over which neither the Fund nor the Adviser exercises control. Each of these may in turn rely on service providers to them, which are also subject to the risk of cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity failures or breaches at the Adviser or the Fund’s service providers or intermediaries have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in ﬁnancial losses, interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund shareowners to effect share purchases, redemptions or exchanges or receive distributions, loss of or unauthorized access to private shareowner information and violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory ﬁnes, penalties, reputational damage, or additional compliance costs. Such costs and losses may not be covered under any insurance. In addition, maintaining vigilance against cyber-attacks may involve substantial costs over time, and system enhancements may themselves be subject to cyber-attacks.

Management fees payable under the Fund's Investment Management Agreement with the Adviser are calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion and 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets over $1 billion. For the six months ended May 31, 2023, the effective management fee (excluding waivers and/or assumption of expenses) was equivalent to 0.65% (annualized) of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to limit ordinary operating expenses (ordinary operating expenses means all fund expenses other than taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation) to the extent required to reduce Fund expenses to 1.15%, 2.15%, 0.70% and 0.70%, of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Class K and Class Y shares, respectively. These expense limitations will be in effect through April 1, 2024.

5. Distribution Plan

The Fund has adopted a distribution plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to its Class A and Class C shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class A shares.

Table of Contents

personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class C shares.

In addition, redemptions of Class A and Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). A CDSC of 1.00% may be imposed on redemptions of certain net asset value purchases of Class A shares within 12 months of purchase. Redemptions of Class C shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a CDSC of 1.00%, based on the lower of cost or market value of shares being redeemed. Shares purchased as part of an exchange remain subject to any CDSC that applied to the original purchase of those shares. There is no CDSC for Class K or Class Y shares. Proceeds from the CDSCs are paid to the Distributor. For the six months ended May 31, 2023, CDSCs in the amount of $209 were paid to the Distributor.

6. Line of Credit Facility

The Fund, along with certain other funds in the Pioneer Family of Funds, participates in a committed, unsecured revolving line of credit (“credit facility”). Borrowings are used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of the amount available under the credit facility or the limits set for borrowing by the Fund’s prospectus and the 1940 Act. The Fund participates in a facility in the amount of $380 million. Under such credit facility, depending on the type of loan, interest on borrowings is payable at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a credit spread. The Fund also pays both an upfront fee and an annual commitment fee to participate in the credit facility. The upfront fee in the amount of 0.15% of the total credit facility and the commitment fee in the amount of 0.30% of the daily unused portion of each lender's commitment are allocated among participating funds based on an allocation schedule set forth in the credit agreement. For the six months ended May 31, 2023, the Fund had no borrowings under the credit facility.

PIONEER FUNDS

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

PROVIDED BY THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

SECTION I - POLICY PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY

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

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

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

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

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