                   Multiple Class Plan Pursuant to Rule 18f-3
         Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares,
                    Class Y Shares and Investor Class Shares

                                 August 3, 2004

     Each class of shares of Pioneer Fund (the "Fund") will have the same
relative rights and privileges and be subject to the same sales charges, fees
and expenses, except as set forth below. The Board of Trustees may determine in
the future that other distribution arrangements, allocations of expenses
(whether ordinary or extraordinary) or services to be provided to a class of
shares are appropriate and amend this Multiple Class Plan accordingly without
the approval of shareholders of any class. Except as set forth in the Fund's
prospectus(es), shares may be exchanged only for shares of the same class of
another Pioneer mutual fund.

     Article I. Class A Shares

     Class A Shares are sold at net asset value per share and subject to the
initial sales charge schedule or contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") and
minimum purchase requirements as set forth in the Fund's prospectus. Class A
Shares shall be entitled to the shareholder services set forth from time to time
in the Fund's prospectus with respect to Class A Shares. Class A Shares are
subject to fees calculated as a stated percentage of the net assets attributable
to Class A Shares under the Fund's Class A Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan as set
forth in such Distribution Plan. The Class A Shareholders have exclusive voting
rights, if any, with respect to the Fund's Class A Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan.
Transfer agency fees are allocated to Class A Shares on a per account basis
except to the extent, if any, such an allocation would cause the Fund to fail to
satisfy any requirement necessary to obtain or rely on a private letter ruling
from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") relating to the issuance of multiple
classes of shares. Class A Shares shall bear the costs and expenses associated
with conducting a shareholder meeting for matters relating to Class A Shares.

     The initial purchase date for Class A Shares acquired through (i)
reinvestment of dividends on Class A Shares or (ii) exchange from another
Pioneer mutual fund will be deemed to be the date on which the original Class A
Shares were purchased.

     Article II. Class B Shares

     Class B Shares are sold at net asset value per share without the imposition
of an initial sales charge. However, Class B Shares redeemed within a specified

prospectus. Class B Shares are sold subject to the minimum purchase requirements
set forth in the Fund's prospectus. Class B Shares shall be entitled to the

Class B Shareholders of the Fund have exclusive voting rights, if any, with
respect to the Fund's Class B Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan. Transfer agency


fees are allocated to Class B Shares on a per account basis except to the
extent, if any, such an allocation would cause the Fund to fail to satisfy any
requirement necessary to obtain or rely on a private letter ruling from the IRS
relating to the issuance of multiple classes of shares. Class B Shares shall
bear the costs and expenses associated with conducting a shareholder meeting for
matters relating to Class B Shares.

     Class B Shares will automatically convert to Class A Shares of the Fund at
the end of a specified number of years after the initial purchase date of Class
B Shares, except as provided in the Fund's prospectus. Such conversion will
occur at the relative net asset value per share of each class without the
imposition of any sales charge, fee or other charge. The conversion of Class B
Shares to Class A Shares may be suspended if it is determined that the
conversion constitutes or is likely to constitute a taxable event under federal
income tax laws.

     The initial purchase date for Class B Shares acquired through (i)
reinvestment of dividends on Class B Shares or (ii) exchange from another
Pioneer mutual fund will be deemed to be the date on which the original Class B
Shares were purchased.
