                                  INTRODUCTION

     This proxy statement is being used by the Board of Trustees of each fund to
solicit proxies to be voted at the annual meeting of shareholders of each of the
funds referenced above. Participating in the meeting are holders of common
shares of beneficial interest (the "Common Shares") and the holders of preferred
shares of beneficial interest (the "Preferred Shares") of each fund. The Common
Shares and the Preferred Shares of each fund sometimes are referred to herein
collectively as the "Shares." Each meeting will be held at the offices of Wilmer
Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, 60 State Street, 26th Floor, Boston,
Massachusetts 02109, at 2:00 p.m., Boston time, on November 10, 2004, and at any
adjournments of a meeting to a later date, for the purposes as set forth in the
accompanying notice of annual meeting of shareholders.

     This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card are being mailed to
shareholders of each fund on or about October 4, 2004. The annual report for
each fund for its most recently completed fiscal year was previously mailed to
shareholders.

                             WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO VOTE

     Shareholders of record of each fund as of the close of business on
September 17, 2004 (the "record date") are entitled to vote on all of the fund's
business at the annual shareholder meeting and any adjournments thereof. The
affirmative vote of a plurality of the Common and Preferred Shares of each fund
present at the meeting in person or by proxy, voting together as a single class,
is required to elect each nominee for Trustee designated to be elected by the
Common and Preferred Shares of each fund. The affirmative vote of a plurality of
the Preferred Shares of each fund present at the meeting in person or by proxy
is required to elect each nominee for Trustee designated to be elected


                                        1


by the Preferred Shares of each fund. Election by plurality means those persons
who receive the highest number of votes cast "FOR" up to the total number of
persons to be elected as trustees at the Meeting shall be elected. Shares
represented by properly executed proxies, unless revoked before or at the
meeting, will be voted according to the shareholder's instructions. If you sign
a proxy but do not fill in a vote, your shares will be voted in favor of each of
the nominees for trustee. If any other business comes before the annual
shareholder meeting, your shares will be voted at the discretion of the persons
named as proxies.

     Each fund will vote separately on each item. Votes of multiple funds will
not be aggregated.

                                   PROPOSAL 1

                          ELECTION OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES

     Shareholders of each fund are being asked to consider the election of three
nominees to the Board of Trustees of each fund. Each Trustee shall be elected to
hold office for a three year term or until his or her successor is elected and
qualified. Each nominee has consented to being named in this proxy statement and
indicated his or her willingness to serve if elected. Dr. Richard Egdahl, who is
a nominee for Trustee, is expected to retire as a Trustee during 2005. In the
unanticipated event that any nominee should be unable to serve, the persons
named as proxies may vote for such other person as shall be designated by the
fund's Board of Trustees. The persons named on the accompanying proxy card
intend to vote at the meeting (unless otherwise directed) for the election of
the nominees named below as trustees of each fund.

     The Declaration of Trust for each fund provides that the Board of Trustees
shall consist of trustees divided into three classes, the classes to be as
nearly equal in number as possible. The trustees of only one class are elected
at each annual meeting so that the regular term of only one class of trustees
will expire annually and any particular trustee stands for election only once in
each three year period. Each fund's Board of Trustees is divided into three
staggered term classes - Class I, Class I and Class III. Class I trustees are
being submitted to shareholders for election at the Meeting for Pioneer
Municipal High Income Trust and Pioneer Municipal High Income Advantage Trust.
Class II trustees are being submitted to shareholders for election at the
Meeting for Pioneer High Income Trust.

     Each fund's Board of Trustees consists of eight members.

Pioneer High Income Trust
     The terms of the Class I trustees - Ms. Bush and Ms. Piret - will expire in
2006; the terms of the Class II trustees - Mr. Cogan, Dr. Egdahl and Mr. West -
expire at the upcoming 2004 annual meeting, and the terms of the Class III
trustees - Ms. Graham, Mr. Hood and Mr. Winthrop - expire at the third annual
meeting in 2005. Subsequently, each class of trustees will stand for election at
the conclusion of its respective three year term. Such classification may
prevent replacement of a majority of the trustees for up to a two-year period.
Mr. Cogan and Ms. Piret have been designated as the Trustees to be elected by
the holders of the Preferred Shares of the fund.


                                       2


Pioneer Municipal High Income Trust and
Pioneer Municipal High Income Advantage Trust
     The terms of the Class I trustees for Pioneer Municipal High Income Trust
and Pioneer Municipal High Income Advantage Trust - Mr. Cogan, Dr. Egdahl and
Mr. West - expire at the first annual meeting following the initial public
offering of the common shares (the upcoming meeting); the terms of the Class II
trustees - Ms. Graham, Mr. Hood and Mr. Winthrop - expire at the second annual
meeting, and the terms of the Class III trustees - Ms. Bush and Ms. Piret -
expire at the third annual meeting. Subsequently, each class of trustees will
stand for election at the conclusion of its respective three year term. Such
classification may prevent replacement of a majority of the trustees for up to a
two-year period. Mr. Cogan and Ms. Piret have been designated as the Trustees to
be elected by the holders of the Preferred Shares of each fund.

     The following table sets forth the incumbent trustees and each trustee's
position(s) with each fund, his or her age, address, principal occupation and
employment during the past five years and any other directorship held. Trustees
who are interested persons of a fund within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") are referred to as Interested Trustees.
Trustees who are not interested persons of a fund are referred to as Independent
Trustees. Each of the trustees serves as a trustee of each of the 65 U.S.
registered investment portfolios for which Pioneer Investment Management, Inc.
("Pioneer") serves as investment adviser (the "Pioneer Funds"). The address of
all Interested Trustees is 60 State Street, Boston, MA 02109.

Board Committees
     The Board of Trustees for each fund has an Audit Committee, an Independent
Trustees Committee, a Nominating Committee, a Valuation Committee and a Policy
Administration Committee. Committee members are as follows:

Audit
     Marguerite A. Piret (Chair), Margaret B. W. Graham and John Winthrop

Independent Trustees
     Mary K. Bush, Richard H. Egdahl, Margaret B.W. Graham (Chair), Marguerite
A. Piret, Stephen K. West and John Winthrop

Nominating

     Mary K. Bush (Chair), Richard H. Egdahl and Margaret B.W. Graham

     During the most recent fiscal year, the Audit, Nominating, Valuation,
Independent Trustees and Policy Administration Committees of Pioneer High Income
Trust held 11, 1, 4, 9 and 6 meetings, respectively.


                                        8


     During the most recent fiscal year, the Audit, Nominating, Valuation,
Independent Trustees and Policy Administration Committees of Pioneer Municipal
High Income Trust held 11, 1, 4, 9 and 6 meetings, respectively.

     During the most recent fiscal year, the Audit, Nominating, Valuation,
Independent Trustees and Policy Administration Committees of Pioneer Municipal
High Income Advantage Trust held 8, 1, 3, 6 and 5 meetings, respectively.

     All members of the Audit Committee are "independent", as defined in the
applicable listing standard of the New York Stock Exchange currently in effect.
The Board of Trustees has adopted a charter for the Audit Committee, in effect
as of June 8, 2004 which is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement. In
accordance with its charter, the purposes of the Audit Committee are to:

o  Assist the Board of Trustee's oversight of (1) the integrity of the Pioneer
   Funds' financial statements, (2) the Pioneer Funds' compliance with legal and
   regulatory requirements that relate to the funds' accounting and financial
   reporting, internal financial controls and independent audit (except to the
   extent such responsibility is delegated to another committee of the Board of
   Trustees), (3) the independent auditor's qualifications and independence, and
   (4) the performance of the Pioneer Funds' internal audit function and
   independent accountants; and

o  Prepare an Audit Committee Report to the extent required by the Securities
   and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to be included in a Pioneer Funds' annual
   proxy statement or other filing.

     The Audit Committee reports that it has (1) reviewed and discussed each
fund's audited financial statements with management; (2) discussed with the
independent auditors the matters relating to the quality of each fund's
financial reporting; and (3) received written disclosures and an independence
letter from the independent public accountants and discussed with the
independent accountants that firm's independence. Based upon the review and
discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of
Trustees that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Reports
for Pioneer High Income Trust and Pioneer Municipal High Income Advantage Trust
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 and the Annual Report for Pioneer
Municipal High Income Trust for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, for filing
with the SEC.

     All members of the Nominating Committee are independent under the New York
Stock Exchange's Revised Listing Rules and are not interested persons, as
defined in the 1940 Act, of Pioneer. The Board of each fund has adopted a
written charter for the Nominating Committee, which is attached as Appendix B to
this proxy statement. The Nominating Committee reviews the qualifications of
persons being considered as candidates as trustees and makes recommendations
regarding the qualifications of such persons to the Independent Trustees. All of
the Independent Trustees then evaluate any candidate and determine whether to
nominate them for election. The Trustees who are not Independent Trustees and
the officers of each Fund are nominated and selected by the Board.


                                        9


     The Nominating Committee's charter provides for certain criteria to be used
in evaluating candidates for Independent Trustee. In reviewing a potential
nominee and in evaluating the re-nomination of current Independent Trustees, the
Nominating Committee applies the following criteria: (i) the nominee's
reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards, (ii)
the nominee's business acumen and ability to exercise sound judgments, (iii) a
commitment to attend and participate in meetings of the Board and its
committees, (iv) the ability to understand potential conflicts of interest in
managing a Fund and to act in the interests of all shareholders, and (v) the
absence of a real or apparent conflict of interest that would impair the
nominee's ability to represent the interests of all the shareholders and to
fulfill the responsibilities of an Independent Trustee. The Nominating Committee
does not necessarily place the same emphasis on each criteria and each nominee
may not have each of these qualities.

     As long as an existing Independent Trustee continues, in the opinion of the
other Independent Trustees, to satisfy these criteria and continues to make
positive contributions to the Board, each fund anticipates that Independent
Trustees of each fund would favor the re-nomination of an existing Trustee
rather than a new candidate. Consequently, while the Nominating Committee will
evaluate the qualifications of nominees recommended by shareholders to serve as
trustee, the Independent Trustees may only act upon the Nominating Committee's
evaluation if there is a vacancy on the Board. In the event that a vacancy
arises or a change in Board membership is determined to be advisable, the
Nominating Committee will, in addition to any shareholder recommendations,
evaluate candidates identified by other means, including candidates proposed by
Independent Trustees or management. While it has not done so in the past, the
Nominating Committee may retain a consultant to assist the Committee in a search
for a qualified candidate.

     Any shareholder recommendation must be submitted in compliance with all of
the pertinent provisions of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
to be considered by the Nominating Committee. In evaluating a nominee
recommended by a shareholder, the Nominating Committee, in addition to the
criteria discussed above, may consider the objectives of the shareholder in
submitting that nomination and whether such objectives are consistent with the
interests of all shareholders. If the Board determines to include a
shareholder's candidate among the slate of nominees, the candidate's name will
be placed on the fund's proxy card. If the Nominating Committee, the Independent
Trustees or the Board determines not to include such candidate among the Board's
designated nominees and the shareholder has satisfied the requirements of Rule
14a-8, the shareholder's candidate will be treated as a nominee of the
shareholder who originally nominated the candidate.

     The Nominating Committee initiated the recommendation of each of the
nominees to serve as Independent Trustee.

     Shareholders may communicate with the members of the Board as a group or
individually. Any such communication should be sent to the Board or an
individual Trustee c/o the Secretary of the fund at the address on the notice of
this meeting. The Secretary may determine not to forward any letter to members
of the Board that does not relate to the business of a fund.


                                       10


     The Valuation Committee reviews the valuation assigned to certain
securities by Pioneer in accordance with each fund's valuation procedures.

     The Policy Administration Committee reviews the implementation of certain
of each fund's administrative policies and procedures.

     The Independent Trustees Committee reviews each fund's management contract
and other related party contracts annually and is also responsible for any other
action required to be taken, under the 1940 Act, by the Independent Trustees
acting alone.

     Each fund's Declaration of Trust provides that the fund will indemnify the
trustees and officers against liabilities and expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with any litigation in which they may be involved because of their
offices with the fund, unless it is determined in the manner specified in the
Declaration of Trust that they have not acted in good faith in the reasonable
belief that their actions were in the best interests of the fund or that such
indemnification would relieve any officer or Trustee of any liability to the
fund or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross

     Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires each fund's executive officers,
Trustees and person who own more than ten percent of a fund's shares ("10%
Shareholders") to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the
SEC. Executive officers, Trustees and 10% Shareholders are required by SEC
regulations to furnish the fund with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
file. Based solely on a review of the copies of these reports furnished to each
of the funds and representations that no other reports were required to be
filed, each fund believes that during the past fiscal year its executive
officers, trustees and 10% Shareholders complied with all applicable Section
16(a) filing requirements.

+  Under the management contract, Pioneer reimburses the fund for any Interested
   Trustees fees paid by the fund.
++ There are 65 U.S. registered investment portfolios in the Pioneer Family of
   Funds.

Investment adviser and administrator
     Pioneer, whose executive offices are located at 60 State Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02109, serves as investment adviser and administrator to each
fund.

     The Trustees may, but all of the Trustees generally do not, attend
shareholder meetings. No trustees attended Pioneer High Income Trust's 2003
annual shareholder meeting.

Required vote
     In accordance with each fund's agreement and declaration of trust, the
holders of Common Shares and Preferred Shares of each fund will vote on the
respective nominees designated to be elected by such class of shares. Mr. Cogan,
Dr. Egdahl and Mr. West are the current nominees for election for each fund (Dr.
Egdahl and Mr. West by the holders


                                       17


of Common and Preferred Shares and Mr. Cogan by the holders of Preferred Shares
only). The affirmative vote of a plurality of the Common and Preferred Shares
for each fund present at the meeting in person or by proxy, voting together as a
single class, is required to elect such nominee for Trustee designated to be
elected by the Common and Preferred Shares and, where applicable, the
affirmative vote of a plurality of the Preferred Shares of each fund present at
the meeting in person or by proxy is required to elect each nominee for Trustee
designated to be elected by the Preferred Shares. This means that the three
nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected as Class I
Trustees to the Board of Pioneer Municipal High Income Trust and Pioneer
Municipal High Income Advantage Trust and as Class II Trustees to the Board of
Pioneer High Income Trust.

Recommendation
     For the reasons set forth above, the trustees of your fund unanimously
recommend that shareholders vote in favor of each of the nominees.

General Audit Committee Approval Policy

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

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

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

Aggregate Non-Audit Fees
     The aggregate non-audit fees for each fund and its affiliates as previously
defined, were as follows. These fees include services provided prior to May 6,
2003, the effective date of the pre-approval process.

     The Audit Committee of the Board of each fund has considered whether the

independence in performing audit services.

meeting (either in person or via telephone), will have the opportunity to make a
statement should they desire to do so, and will be available to answer

Shareholder proposals
     If you wish to include a proposal in your fund's proxy statement for the
2005 annual meeting, your proposal must be received by the Secretary of the fund
at the fund's principal offices at 60 State Street, Boston Massachusetts 02109
on or before July 5, 2005. A proposal that is not to be included in the fund's
proxy statement may only be made at the 2005 annual meeting if it is received by
the Secretary of the fund at the fund's principal offices at 60 State Street,
Boston Massachusetts 02109 not more than 120 days and at


                                       22


least 90 days before the anniversary date of the mailing of the fund's proxy
materials for this year's annual meeting provided, however, that in the event
that the date of the mailing of the notice for the 2005 annual meeting is
advanced or delayed by more than thirty (30) days from the anniversary date of
the mailing of the notice for this year's annual meeting, notice by a
shareholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of
business on the 120th day prior to the date of mailing of the notice for the
2005 annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the
90th day prior to the date of mailing of the notice for the 2005 annual meeting
or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of
mailing of the notice for the 2005 meeting is first made by the fund.

     The submission by a shareholder of a proposal for inclusion in a proxy
statement does not guarantee that it will be included. Each fund currently
expects to hold the next annual shareholders' meeting on or about September 27,
2005, which date is subject to change. Shareholder proposals are subject to
certain regulations under the federal securities laws.

Proxies, quorum and voting at the meeting
     Any shareholder who has given his or her proxy to someone has the power to
revoke that proxy at any time prior to its exercise by executing a superseding
proxy or by submitting a notice of revocation to the secretary of the fund. In
addition, although mere attendance at the meeting will not revoke a proxy, a
shareholder present at the meeting may withdraw his or her proxy and vote in
person. All properly executed and unrevoked proxies received in time for the
meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained in the
proxies. If no instruction is given, the persons named as proxies will vote the
shares represented thereby in favor of the nominees in Proposal No. 1, as
described above, and will use their best judgment in connection with the
transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting or
any adjournment thereof.

     For each fund, one-third of the outstanding shares of each series or class,
or one-third of the outstanding shares of the Trust, entitled to vote, present
in person or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of
business at the meeting with respect to such series or class, or with respect to
the entire fund, respectively. In the event that at the time any session of the
meeting is called to order a quorum is not present in person or by proxy, the
persons named as proxies may vote those proxies that have been received to
adjourn the shareholder meeting to a later date. In the event that a quorum is
present but sufficient votes in favor of the proposal have not been received,
the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the
shareholder meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to
such proposal. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of more
than one half of the shares of the fund present in person or by proxy at the
session of the meeting to be adjourned. The persons named as proxies will vote
those proxies which they are entitled to vote in favor of any such proposal in
favor of such an adjournment and will vote those proxies required to be voted
against any such proposal against any such adjournment. A shareholder vote may
be taken on one or more of the proposals in the proxy statement prior to such
adjournment if sufficient votes for its approval have been received and it is
otherwise


                                       23


appropriate. Such vote will be considered final regardless of whether the
meeting is adjourned to permit additional solicitation with respect to any other
proposal.

     Shares of the fund represented in person or by proxy, including shares that
abstain or do not vote with respect to a proposal, will be counted for purposes
of determining whether there is a quorum at the meeting. Similarly, if a broker
or nominee holding shares in "street name" indicates on the proxy card that it
does not have discretionary authority to vote on a proposal and has not received
instructions from the beneficial owner, those shares will not be considered
present and entitled to vote on that proposal. Thus, a "broker non-vote" has no
effect on the voting.

Other business
     While the meeting has been called to transact any business that may
properly come before it, the only matters that the trustees intend to present
are those matters stated in the attached notice of annual meeting of
shareholders. However, if any additional matters properly come before the
meeting, and on all matters incidental to the conduct of the meeting, it is the
intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the proxy in
accordance with their judgment on such matters unless instructed to the
contrary.

Method of solicitation and expenses
     The cost of preparing, assembling and mailing this proxy statement and the
attached notice of annual meeting of shareholders and the accompanying proxy
card for each fund will be borne by that fund. In addition to soliciting proxies
by mail, Pioneer may, at the fund's expense, have one or more of the fund's
officers, representatives or compensated third-party agents, including Pioneer,
PIMSS and PFD, aid in the solicitation of proxies by personal interview or
telephone and telegraph and may request brokerage houses and other custodians,
nominees and fiduciaries to forward proxy soliciting material to the beneficial
owners of the shares held of record by such persons.

     Each fund may also arrange to have votes recorded by telephone, the
internet or other electronic means. The voting procedures used in connection
with such voting methods are designed to authenticate shareholders' identities,
to allow shareholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with
their instructions and to confirm that their instructions have been properly
recorded. If these procedures were subject to a successful legal challenge, such
votes would not be counted at the shareholder meeting. Each fund is unaware of
any such challenge at this time. In the case of telephone voting, shareholders
would be called at the phone number the sub-transfer agent, Mellon Investor
Services LLC, has in its records for their accounts, and would be asked for
their Social Security number or other identifying information. The shareholders
would then be given an opportunity to authorize proxies to vote their shares at
the meeting in accordance with their instructions. In the case of automated
telephone and internet voting, shareholders would be required to provide their
Social Security number or other identifying information and would receive a
confirmation of their instructions.

     Persons holding shares as nominees will be reimbursed by Pioneer, upon
request, for the reasonable expenses of mailing soliciting materials to the
principals of the accounts.

            Appendix A--Audit Committee Charter (as of June 8, 2004)

     This Audit Committee Charter is applicable to each of the Pioneer Funds
that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").

     Italicized terms used in this Charter are defined in Annex A.

     Membership. The Audit Committee shall be composed exclusively of Trustees
("Independent Trustees") who are not "interested persons" as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, of Pioneer Investment Management,
Inc ("Pioneer"). The Audit Committee shall include at least three Independent
Trustees who are designated for membership from time to time by the Board of
Trustees. In selecting Independent Trustees to serve on the Audit Committee, the
Board of Trustees shall select members who are free of any relationship that, in
the opinion of the Board of Trustees, may interfere, or give the appearance of
interfering, with such member's individual exercise of independent judgment.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, no member of the Audit Committee may
serve on the audit committee of more than two other public companies (other than
another Pioneer Fund). Except as otherwise permitted by the applicable rules of
the New York Stock Exchange, each member of the Audit Committee shall be
independent. Each member of the Audit Committee must be financially literate, as
such qualification is interpreted by the Board of Trustees in its business
judgment. At least one member of the Audit Committee shall be an Audit Committee
Financial Expert.

     Function. The Audit Committee's purpose is to:

     o    assist the Board of Trustee's oversight of (1) the integrity of the
          Pioneer Funds' financial statements, (2) the Pioneer Funds' compliance
          with legal and regulatory requirements that relate to the Funds'
          accounting and financial reporting, internal financial controls and
          independent audit (except to the extent such responsibility is
          delegated to another committee of the Board of Trustees), (3) the
          independent auditor's qualifications and independence, and (4) the
          performance of the Pioneer Funds' internal audit function and
          independent accountants; and

     o    prepare an Audit Committee Report to the extent required by the
          Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to be included in a Pioneer
          Funds' annual proxy statement or other filing.

     The Audit Committee shall discharge its responsibilities, and shall access
the information provided by the Pioneer Funds' officers, Pioneer and independent
auditors, in accordance with its business judgment.

     Oversight Role. Oversight is the primary role of the Audit Committee.
Pioneer (or in the case of certain Pioneer Funds, Princeton Administrators LLC)
is responsible for maintaining appropriate systems for accounting and internal
controls and preparing the Pioneer Funds' financial statements. The independent
auditors are responsible for auditing the Pioneer Funds' financial statements
and, to the extent directed by the Audit Committee, for reviewing the Pioneer
Funds' unaudited interim financial statements. The Audit Committee and the Board
of Trustees recognize that the Funds' officers, Pioneer and the independent
auditors have more experience, expertise, resources and time, and more


                                       A-1


detailed knowledge and information regarding the Pioneer Funds' accounting,
auditing, internal control and financial reporting practices than the Audit
Committee does. Accordingly, the Audit Committee's oversight role is not
intended to provide any expert or special assurance as to the financial
statements and other financial information provided by a Pioneer Fund to its
shareholders and others. The authority and responsibilities set forth in this
Charter do not reflect or create any duty or obligation of the Audit Committee
to plan or conduct any audit, to determine or certify that any Pioneer Fund's
financial statements are complete, accurate, fairly presented, or in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles or applicable law, or to guarantee
any independent auditor's report.

     The independent auditors shall report directly to the Audit Committee, and
the Audit Committee shall be directly responsible for oversight of the work of
the independent auditors, including resolution of disagreements between any
Pioneer Fund's officer, Pioneer and the independent auditors regarding financial
reporting.

     Specific Responsibilities. The specific responsibilities of the Audit
Committee are:

     1.   To act as a liaison between the Pioneer Funds' independent auditors
          and the Board of Trustees of the Pioneer Funds.

     2.   To approve, and in addition recommend to the Board of Trustees for its
          ratification and approval in accord with applicable law, the
          selection, appointment, retention and compensation of an independent
          auditor for each Pioneer Fund prior to the engagement of such
          independent auditor. The Audit Committee should meet with the
          independent auditor prior to the audit to discuss the planning and
          staffing of the audit.

     3.   To meet with independent auditors, including private meetings, and, as
          necessary, Pioneer's internal auditors and the Funds' officers (i) to
          review the arrangements for and scope of the annual audit and any
          special audits; (ii) to discuss the form and substance of the Pioneer
          Funds' financial statements and reports, and any matters of concern
          relating to the Pioneer Funds' financial statements, including any
          adjustments to such statements recommended by the independent
          accountants, or other results of an audit; (iii) to consider the
          independent accountants' comments with respect to the Pioneer Funds'
          financial policies, procedures and internal accounting controls and
          management's responses thereto; (iv) to discuss the Funds' policies
          with respect to risk assessment and risk management; (v) to review the
          resolution of any disagreements between the independent auditors and
          Pioneer regarding the Pioneer Funds' financial reporting; and (vi) to
          review the form of opinion the independent accountants propose to
          render to the Board of Trustees and shareholders.

     4.   Together with the Independent Trustees Committee, to review and assess
          the renewal materials of all related party contracts and agreements,
          including management advisory agreements, underwriting contracts,
          administration agreements, distribution contracts, and transfer agency
          contracts.

     5.   To monitor the independent auditor of each Pioneer Fund to attempt to
          identify: conflicts of interest between the Pioneer Funds and the

          provision of prohibited non-audit services to a Pioneer Fund by its
          independent auditor; violations of audit partner rotation
          requirements; and prohibited independent auditor compensation
          arrangements whereby individuals employed by the auditor are
          compensated based on selling non-audit services to the fund. The
          independent auditors should promptly contact the Audit Committee or
          its Chair about any significant issue or disagreement concerning a
          fund's accounting practices or financial statements that is not
          resolved to their satisfaction or if Section 10A(b) of the Exchange
          Act has been implicated.

          a periodic basis of all relationships between the auditors and
          Pioneer; to engage in a dialogue with the independent auditors with
          respect to any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the
          objectivity and independence of the independent auditors; and to
          recommend that the Board of Trustees take appropriate action in
          response to the independent auditors' report to satisfy itself of the
          independent auditors' independence.

     7.   To pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided to each
          Pioneer Fund by its independent auditor, directly or pursuant to the
          pre-approval polices attached hereto as Annex B. To pre-approve,
          directly or pursuant to the pre-approval polices attached hereto as
          Annex B, all non-audit services provided by the Pioneer Fund's
          independent auditor to Pioneer and any entity controlling, controlled
          by, or under common control with Pioneer that provides ongoing
          services to a Pioneer Fund, if the engagement relates directly to the
          operations and financial reporting of the Pioneer Fund. The Audit
          Committee is authorized to further delegate, to the extent permitted
          by law, pre-approval responsibilities to one or more members of the
          Audit Committee who shall report to the Audit Committee regarding
          approved services at the Audit Committee's next regularly scheduled
          meeting.

     8.   With respect to any Pioneer Fund listed on the New York Stock
          Exchange, to consider whether the Audit Committee will recommend to
          the Board of Trustees that the audited financial statements be
          included in the Fund's annual report. The Board of Trustees delegates
          to the Audit Committee the authority to release the Funds' financial
          statements for publication in the annual report, subject to the Board
          of Trustees' right to review and ratify such financial statements
          following publication. The Audit Committee shall prepare an annual
          committee report for inclusion where necessary in the proxy statement
          of a Fund relating to its annual meeting of security holders or in any
          other filing required by the SEC's rules.

     9.   To obtain and review, at least annually, a report by the independent
          auditor describing: the independent accounting firm's internal
          quality-control procedures; any material issues raised by the most
          recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the firm,
          or by any inquiry or investigation by

                                       A-3


          governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five
          years, respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the
          firm, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues; and, to assess
          the auditor's independence, all relationships between the independent

          questionable accounting or auditing matters, as and when required by
          applicable rules or listing requirements. The procedures currently in

     12.  To review with the Pioneer Funds' principal executive officer and/or
          principal financial officer in connection with required certifications
          on Form N-CSR any significant deficiencies in the design or operation

          therein and any reported evidence or fraud involving management or
          other employees who have a significant role in the Fund's internal
          control over financial reporting.

     13.  To report regularly to the Board of Trustees, including the Audit

          the funds' financial statements and accounting controls.

     Governance. Members of the Audit Committee shall elect from among
themselves a Chair, who shall preside over meetings of the Audit Committee.
Replacements for vacancies, occurring from time to time, shall be nominated and
elected by the Board of Trustees. The Audit Committee shall meet on a regular
basis and is empowered to hold special meetings, as circumstances require.
Meetings of the Audit Committee shall be open to all members of the Board who
are Independent Trustees of the Funds; however, no member of the Board of
Trustees other than a member of the Audit Committee shall have the right to vote
on any matter brought before the Audit Committee. The Chair shall determine
whether Trustees who are affiliated with Pioneer, or members of the Funds'
management may be present at any meeting. The Audit Committee shall meet
regularly with the Treasurer of the Funds. The Audit Committee shall have the
resources and authority appropriate to discharge its responsibilities, including
the authority to retain special counsel and other experts or consultants at the
expense of the appropriate Funds.


                                       A-4


     The designation of a person as an Audit Committee Financial Expert within
the meaning of the rules under Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on that person than the
responsibility and liability imposed on such person as a member of the Audit
Committee, nor shall it decrease the duties and obligations of other Audit
Committee members or the Board of Trustees. The compensation of Audit Committee
members shall be as determined by the Independent Trustees. No member of the
Audit Committee may receive, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or
other compensatory fee from a Pioneer Fund, other than fees paid in his or her
capacity as a member of the Board of Trustees or a committee of the Board.

     Review. The Committee shall review this charter at least annually and shall
recommend such changes to the Board of Trustees, as it deems desirable. This
Charter may only be amended by the Board of Trustees. At least annually, the
Audit Committee shall evaluate its own performance, including whether the Audit
Committee is meeting frequently enough to discharge its responsibilities
appropriately.


                                       A-5


                                  PIONEER FUNDS

                    Appendix B--Nominating Committee Charter

     Function. The key function of the Nominating Committee of the Boards of
Trustees of the Pioneer Funds (the "Funds") is to screen potential candidates
for Independent Trustees. In performing such function, the Nominating Committee
will:

     o    Periodically review the requisite skills and criteria for Independent
          Trustees.

     o    Periodically review the requisite skills and criteria for the
          re-nomination of a person currently serving as an Independent Trustee.

     o    Review the qualifications of any person nominated to serve on the
          Board by a shareholder or recommended by any Trustee, management or
          another person and to make a recommendation as to the qualifications
          of such nominated or recommended person to the Independent Trustees
          and the Board; and

     o    Periodically review and revise as it deems appropriate procedures
          regarding Trustee candidates recommended by shareholders.

     With respect to a vacancy on the Board, the Committee shall use the
criteria and the principles set forth on Annex A, as revised from time to time,
to guide its selection process. These criteria shall be applied when considering
a recommendation as to a vacancy whether the person has been recommended by a
shareholder, Trustee, management or otherwise.

     With respect to the re-nomination of an existing Independent Trustee, the
Committee and the Independent Trustees Committee shall use the criteria and the
principles set forth on Annex A, as revised from time to time, to guide its
selection process.

     The Nominating Committee performs these functions to assist the Board and
the Independent Trustees in carrying out their fiduciary responsibilities and
the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules thereunder
with respect to the nomination of members of the Board. The primary function of
the Committee is to act as a consultative body to the Independent Trustees
Committee, which shall be responsible for determining whether to recommend the
nomination of any person to serve as Independent Trustee to the Board.
Nomination of any person to serve on the Board as an Independent Trustee shall
initially be acted upon by the Independent Trustees and then the entire Board.
Nominations of persons to serve as Trustees who are not Independent Trustees
shall be made by the Board.

     Governance. The Committee shall be comprised of three Trustees who shall be
nominated and elect ed by the Board. Each member of the Committee must be
independent under the New York Stock Exchange's Revised Listing Rules and must
not be interested persons, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, of Pioneer Investment Management, Inc. Members of the Committee shall
elect from among themselves a Chairperson, who shall preside over meetings of
the Committee.


                                       B-1


Replacements for vacancies, occurring from time to time, shall be nominated and
elected by the remaining Trustees of the Funds.

     The Committee shall meet with such frequency as the members of the
Committee shall determine to be appropriate. Meetings of the Nominating
Committee shall be open to all Independent Trustees; however, no member of the
Board other than a member of the Committee shall have the right to vote on any
matter brought before the Committee. All actions by the Committee shall be taken
by a majority of the total number of members of the Committee, regardless of the
number of members of the Committee actually present at such meeting. Any action
permitted to be taken by the Committee may be taken by written action signed by
at least a majority of the members of the Committee.

     The Committee shall have the authority to retain and terminate any search
firm to be used to identify or investigate the qualifications of Trustee
nominees, including authority to approve the search firm's fees and other
retention terms. The Committee is empowered, without further action by the
Board, to cause the Funds to pay the compensation of any search firm engaged by
the Committee.

     The Committee shall, from time to time as it deems appropriate, review and
