AGIC Convertible & Income Fund II Semi-Annual Report |
1 |
The six-month fiscal period ended August 31, 2010 was characterized by renewed turbulence in the financial markets, which retreated on evidence that the U.S. and global economies were slowing down.
The Six
Months in Review
For the six-month fiscal
period ended August 31, 2010:
|
|
|
|
• |
The AGIC Convertible & Income Fund (formerly Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund) returned 4.85% on net asset value (“NAV”) and 4.43% on market price. |
|
|
|
|
• |
The AGIC Convertible & Income Fund II (formerly Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund II) returned 4.95% on NAV and 4.67% on market price. |
In comparison, the Merrill Lynch All Convertibles All Qualities Index, an unmanaged index generally representative of the convertible securities market, advanced 1.92%. The S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index that is generally representative of the U.S. stock market, fell 4.04%. The Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Bond Index advanced 6.60%.
As the fiscal reporting period began in March, the U.S. economy, as measured by gross domestic product (“GDP”), was growing at a 2.7% annual rate. But during April and June, GDP grew at a 1.6% annual rate. During the last two months of the reporting period, there were several signs of additional deceleration, including soft consumer spending and plunging sales of new and existing homes. Abroad, worries that certain European governments might default on their debt contributed to investor skittishness. In addition, there were indications that China’s rapidly-expanding economy was slowing.
Many investors reacted to these developments by shifting out of corporate bonds and stocks and into U.S. Treasury bonds, which are perceived as safe havens in times of uncertainty. Demand for Treasuries was so great that the yield on the benchmark 10-year bond, which had reached 4.01% in April, fell to 2.47% by the end of the six-month fiscal period. Corporate bonds generally suffered as a result, with prices dropping and yields (which move in the opposite direction), rising sharply. As for stocks, after peaking in late April prices slid, with major indices erasing their gains for the year.
The slowing U.S. economy was a matter of increasing concern for the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). The Fed lowered previously robust expectations

for growth and indicated that it could take until 2016 for economic conditions to get back to what policymakers considered “normal.”
The Fed maintained the Federal Funds Rate – the interest rate banks charge to lend federal funds to other banks, usually on an overnight basis – in the 0.0% to 0.25% range, while the discount rate – the interest rate charged to banks for direct loans – remained at 0.75% during the six-month fiscal period, after being increased from 0.50% in February.
Positioned
To Face Today’s Challenges
Six months ago, the possibility
of another recession – two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth –
seemed remote. But with the U.S. economy weakening, the odds of a “double-dip”
recession have increased. Deflation – the falling prices of goods, services and
wages – is another concern.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, another scenario
is also possible: the U.S. economy avoids both recession and deflation and
muddles along, growing slowly. Regardless of what happens, we believe that
with careful research, investment opportunities can be identified. |

|
|
• |
For the six-month fiscal period ended August 31, 2010, AGIC Convertible & Income Fund returned 4.85% on NAV and 4.43% on market price. AGIC Convertible & Income Fund II returned 4.95% on NAV and 4.67% on market price. |
|
|
|
|
• |
The convertible market, as measured by the Merrill Lynch All Convertibles All Quality Index, had positive performance during the reporting period, countering the trend of declines experienced by many broad domestic and international equity benchmarks. |
|
|
|
|
• |
Both Funds’ performance benefited from security selection decisions among diversified media and technology companies and among airlines. An underweighting in utilities also contributed positively to returns versus the benchmark. |
|
|
|
|
• |
Security selection decisions in the energy, homebuilding, restaurant and gaming industries detracted from the Funds’ relative returns during the period. |
|
|
|
|
• |
Equity markets experienced multiple directional changes during the reporting period. Improved access to capital and stable-to-improving corporate profits contributed to investor optimism, while lingering concerns about European monetary conditions and the sustainability of the global economic recovery fueled pessimism. In the U.S., economic activity decelerated during the reporting period. Private employers added fewer jobs than anticipated and housing figures disappointed. |
|
|
|
|
• |
The high risk-aversion that had severely restricted the availability of credit in recent years was not a significant factor during the reporting period. Companies seeking debt financing experienced a highly accommodative corporate bond market. The easing of the credit crunch coincided with rising bond prices and a tightening of spreads. |
|
|
|
|
• |
Within the high yield universe, performance was broadly positive during the reporting period. On average, securities in every industry, except utilities, recorded gains. Top performing industries within the index during the period included insurance, transportation (ex-rail and air), airlines and banking. Returns in the retail food and drug industry and in technology lagged the benchmark average, along with the declining utilities industry. |
|
|
|
|
• |
Total-return oriented convertibles outperformed the more bond-like “busted” convertibles during the six-month reporting period. Busted convertibles trade like fixed-income investments because the market price of the common stock they convert to has fallen low enough to render the conversion feature valueless. On a bond-quality basis, speculative grade convertibles outperformed investment-grade securities during the period. On average, convertible securities of mid-cap companies outperformed those of both large-cap and small-cap companies. |

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

Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly per share dividend (comprised of net investment income) payable to common shareholders by the market price per common share at August 31, 2010. |

Each Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of capital appreciation and high current income. The Funds attempt to achieve this objective by investing in a portfolio of convertible securities and non-convertible income-producing securities. There can be no assurance that the Funds will achieve their stated objectives.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in each Fund’s financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:
(a) Valuation of
Investments
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for
which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value.
Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales
prices, or if no sales are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a
quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing
services.
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security, are fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, or persons acting at their discretion pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Funds’ investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Synthetic convertible securities are valued based on quotations obtained from unaffiliated brokers who are the principal market-makers in such securities. Such valuations are derived by the brokers from proprietary models which are generally based on readily available market information including valuations of the common stock underlying the synthetic security. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days.
The prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and these differences could be material to each Fund’s financial statements. Each Fund’s net asset value is normally determined as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on each day the NYSE is open for business.

(b)
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e.
the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The
three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Funds have the ability to access
• Level 2 – valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or quotes from inactive exchanges
• Level 3 – valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique used.
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the six months ended August 31, 2010 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. When fair-valuing securities, the Funds utilized multi-dimensional relational pricing models.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following are certain inputs and techniques that the Funds generally use to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock) — Equity securities traded in inactive markets and certain foreign equity securities are valued using inputs which include broker-dealer quotes, recently executed transactions adjusted for changes in the benchmark index, or evaluated price quotes received from independent pricing services that take into account the integrity of the market sector and issuer, the individual characteristics of the security, and information received from broker-dealers and other market sources pertaining to the issuer or security. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of equity securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
Corporate Bonds — Corporate bonds are generally comprised of two main categories consisting of investment grade bonds and high yield bonds. Investment grade bonds are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, live trading levels, recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, and options adjusted spread models that include base curve and spread curve inputs. Adjustments to individual bonds can be applied to recognize trading differences compared to other bonds issued by the same issuer. High yield bonds are valued by independent pricing services based primarily on broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of corporate bonds are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
Convertible Bonds — Convertible bonds are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of convertible bonds are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(d)
Federal Income Taxes
The Funds intend to distribute all of
their taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment
companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.
Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Funds’ management has determined that its evaluation has resulted in no material impact to the Funds’ financial statements at August 31, 2010. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by the Funds are likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is used primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s market price to interest rate (i.e. yield) movements.
The Funds are exposed to credit risk which is the risk of losing money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings.
Similar to credit risk, the Funds are exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss to the Funds could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the Funds’ financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Funds’ sub-adviser, Allianz Global Investors Capital LLC (“AGIC” or the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of the Investment Manager, seeks to minimize the Funds’

2. Principal Risks (continued)
counterparty risks by performing reviews of each counterparty and by minimizing concentration of counterparty risk by undertaking transactions with multiple customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges. Delivery of securities sold is only made once the Funds have received payment. Payment is made on the purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.
The market values of equity securities, such as common stock and preferred stock and securities convertible into equity securities, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.
During the six months ended August 31, 2010, the Funds held synthetic convertible securities with Lehman Brothers, Inc. as the counterparty. On September 15, 2008 Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The value of the relevant securities have been written down to their estimated recoverable values.
3. Investment
Manager/Sub-Adviser
Each Fund has an Investment
Management Agreement (each an “Agreement”) with the Investment Manager. Subject
to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager is
responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, the
Funds’ investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters.
Pursuant to each Agreement, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee,
payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.70% of each Fund’s average daily total
managed assets. Total managed assets refer to the total assets of each Fund
(including assets attributable to any preferred shares or other forms of
leverage that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than
liabilities representing leverage).
The Investment Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to manage the Funds’ investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for making all of the Funds’ investment decisions. The Investment Manager, and not the Funds, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Adviser in return for its services.
Effective August 25, 2010, the Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Investment Manager and Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management LLC (“NACM”) were novated from NACM to AGIC, the indirect parent of NACM.
The novation coincided with a larger corporate reorganization transferring the advisory businesses of NACM and Oppenheimer Capital LLC (“OCC”) to AGIC. Since 2009, AGIC has assumed a number of non-advisory functions from both NACM and OCC, and the transaction in August 2010 marked the last step in the full integration of these businesses under a single name and corporate entity.

The Funds are subject to certain limitations and restrictions while Preferred Shares are outstanding. Failure to comply with these limitations and restrictions could preclude the Funds from declaring or paying any dividends or distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of Preferred Shares at their liquidation value plus any accumulated, unpaid dividends.
Preferred shareholders, who are entitled to one vote per share, generally vote together with the common shareholders but vote separately as a class to elect two Trustees and on any matters affecting the rights of the Preferred Shares.
Since mid-February 2008, holders of auction-rate preferred shares (“ARPS”) issued by the Funds have been directly impacted by an unprecedented lack of liquidity, which has similarly affected ARPS holders in many of the nation’s closed-end funds. Since then, regularly scheduled auctions for ARPS issued by the Funds have consistently “failed” because of insufficient demand (bids to buy shares) to meet the supply (shares offered for sale) at each auction. In a failed auction, ARPS holders cannot sell all, and may not be able to sell any, of their shares tendered for sale. While repeated auction failures have affected the liquidity for ARPS, they do not constitute a default or automatically alter the credit quality of the ARPS, and ARPS holders have continued to receive dividends at the defined “maximum rate” the 7-day “AA” Composite Commercial Paper Rate multiplied by 150% (which is a function of short-term interest rates and typically higher than the rate that would have otherwise been set through a successful auction). If the Funds’ ARPS auctions continue to fail and the “maximum rate” payable on the ARPS rises as a result of changes in short-term interest rates, returns for the Funds’ common shareholders could be adversely affected.
7. Legal Proceedings
In June and September 2004, the
Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates (including PEA Capital LLC
(“PEA”), Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC and Allianz Global Investors
of America, L.P.), agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the
allegations, claims brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
and the New Jersey Attorney General alleging violations of federal and state securities
laws with respect to certain open-end funds for which the Investment Manager
serves as investment adviser. The settlements related to an alleged “market
timing” arrangement in certain open-end funds formerly sub-advised by PEA. The
Investment Manager and its affiliates agreed to pay a total of $68 million to
settle the claims. In addition to monetary payments, the settling parties
agreed to undertake certain corporate governance, compliance and disclosure
reforms related to market timing, and consented to cease and desist orders and
censures. Subsequent to these events, PEA deregistered as an investment adviser
and dissolved. None of the settlements alleged that any inappropriate activity
took place with respect to the Funds.
Since February 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in a number of pending lawsuits concerning “market timing,” which allege the same or similar conduct underlying the regulatory settlements discussed above. The market timing lawsuits have been consolidated in a multidistrict litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (the “MDL Court”). After a number of claims in the lawsuits were dismissed by the MDL Court, the parties entered into a stipulation of settlement, which was publicly filed with the MDL Court in April 2010, resolving all remaining claims, but the settlement remains subject to the approval of the MDL Court.

7. Legal Proceedings (continued)
Beginning in May 2010, several closed-end funds managed by the Investment Manager, including the Funds, each received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf of certain common shareholders. The demand letters allege that the Investment Manager and certain officers and trustees of the funds breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the redemption at par of a portion of the funds’ ARPS and demand that the boards of trustees take certain action to remedy those alleged breaches. After conducting an investigation, in August 2010 the independent trustees of each Fund rejected the demands made in the demand letters.
The Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory activities relating to the Funds.

Matters Relating to the Trustees’ Consideration of |
The Investment Company Act of 1940 requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) and a majority of the non-interested Trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately, annually approve the continuance of the Funds’ Management Agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) with the Investment Manager and Portfolio Management Agreements (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”, and together with the Advisory Agreements, the “Agreements”) between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees met in person on June 22-23, 2010 (the “contract review meeting”) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from Fund management during the contract review meeting.
Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the continuation of the Funds’ Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, should be approved for a one-year period commencing July 1, 2010.
In connection with their deliberations regarding the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services performed by the Investment Manager or the Sub-Adviser under the applicable Agreement.
In connection with the contract review meeting, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) on the total return investment performance (based on net assets) of the Funds for various time periods and the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives as the Funds identified by Lipper and the performance of applicable benchmark indices, (ii) information provided by Lipper on the Funds’ management fees and other expenses and the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Lipper, (iii) information regarding the investment performance and management fees of comparable portfolios of other clients of the Sub-Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and other clients, (iv) the profitability to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Funds for the one year period ended March 31, 2010, (v) descriptions of various functions performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser for the Funds, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (vi) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Funds.
The Trustees’ conclusions as to the continuation of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors.
As part of their review, the Trustees examined the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s abilities to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Funds. The Trustees considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of the Sub-Adviser; the experience of key advisory personnel of the Sub-Adviser responsible for portfolio management of the Funds; the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser; and the level of skill required to manage the Funds. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Funds; the nature and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager is responsible for providing to the Funds; and conditions that might affect the Investment Manager’s or the Sub-Adviser’s ability to provide high quality services to the Funds in the future under the Agreements, including each organization’s respective business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Sub-Adviser’s investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to each of the Funds given their respective investment objectives and policies, and that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser would be able to continue to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.

Matters
Relating to the Trustees’ Consideration of |
Based on information provided by Lipper, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s total return investment performance as well as the performance of comparable funds identified by Lipper. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees took into account information provided by the Investment Manager in connection with the contract review meeting, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year regarding each Fund’s performance.
In assessing the reasonableness of each Fund’s fees under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, each Fund’s management fee and the total expense ratio as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common and preferred shares and the management fee and total expense ratios of comparable funds identified by Lipper.
For each of the Funds, the Trustees specifically took note of how each Fund compared to its Lipper peers as to performance, management fee expenses and total expenses. The Trustees noted that the Investment Manager had provided a memorandum containing comparative information on the performance and expenses information of the Funds compared to the their Lipper peer categories. The Trustees noted that while the Funds are not charged a separate administration fee, it was not clear whether the peer funds in the Lipper categories were charged such a fee by their investment managers.
Convertible & Income:
The Trustees noted that the expense group for Convertible & Income provided by Lipper is small, consisting of a total of four leveraged closed-end funds, not including Convertible & Income. The Trustees also noted that average net assets of the common shares of the funds in the peer group ranged from $70 million to $548.2 million, and that all of the funds are smaller in asset size than the Convertible & Income. The Trustees also noted that Convertible & Income was ranked second out of four funds in the expense peer group for actual management fees and first out of four funds for actual total expenses (with funds ranked first having the lowest fees/expenses and ranked fourth having the highest fees/expenses in the peer group).
With respect to performance, the Trustees also noted that Convertible & Income outperformed its benchmark and had first quintile performance for the one-year period ended March 31, 2010 against a peer group of six funds. The Trustees also noted that Convertible & Income was ranked four out of a peer group of five funds in performance for the three-year and five-year period ended March 31, 2010.
Convertible & Income II:
The Trustees noted that the expense group for Convertible & Income II provided by Lipper is small, consisting of a total of four leveraged closed-end funds, not including Convertible & Income II. The Trustees also noted that average net assets of the common shares of the funds in the peer group ranged from $70 million to $548.2 million, and that all of the funds except one is smaller in asset size than Convertible & Income II. The Trustees also noted that Convertible & Income II was ranked second out of four funds in the expense peer group for actual management fees and first out of four funds for actual total expenses (with funds ranked first having the lowest fees/expenses and ranked fourth having the highest fees/expenses in the peer group).
With respect to performance, the Trustees also noted that Convertible & Income II outperformed its benchmark and had first quintile performance for the one-year period ended March 31, 2010 against a peer group of six funds. The Trustees also noted that Convertible & Income II was ranked five out of a peer group of five funds in performance for the three-year and five-year period ended March 31, 2010.
At the request of the Trustees, the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser agreed to continue to provide performance information related to the Funds on a monthly basis.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that they were satisfied with the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s responses and efforts to continue to improve the Funds’ investment performance. The Trustees agreed to reassess the services provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser under the Agreements in light of the Fund’s ongoing performance at each quarterly Board meeting.
The Trustees also considered the management fees charged by Sub-Adviser to other clients, including institutional separate accounts with investment strategies similar to those of the Funds. Regarding the institutional separate accounts,

Matters
Relating to the Trustees’ Consideration of |
they noted that the management fees paid by the Funds are generally higher than the fees paid by these clients of the Sub-Adviser, but the Trustees were advised by the Sub-Adviser that the administrative burden for the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Funds are also relatively higher, due in part to the more extensive regulatory regime to which the Funds are subject in comparison to institutional separate accounts. The Trustees noted that the management fees paid by the Funds are generally higher than the fees paid by the open-end funds offered for comparison but were advised that there are additional portfolio management challenges in managing the Funds, such as the use of leverage and meeting a regular dividend.
The Trustees also took into account that the Funds have preferred shares outstanding, which increases the amount of fees received by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Agreements (because the fees are calculated based on either the Funds’ net assets or total managed assets, including assets attributable to preferred shares and other forms of leverage outstanding but not deducting any liabilities connected to the leverage). In this regard, the Trustees took into account that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser have a financial incentive for the Funds to continue to have preferred shares outstanding, which may create a conflict of interest between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, on one hand, and the Funds’ common shareholders, on the other. In this regard, the Trustees considered information provided by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser indicating that each Funds’ use of leverage through preferred shares continues to be appropriate and in the interests of the respective Fund’s common shareholders.
Based on a profitability analysis provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with each Fund and determined that such profitability was not excessive.
The Trustees also took into account that, as closed-end investment companies, the Funds do not currently intend to raise additional assets, so the assets of the Funds will grow (if at all) only through the investment performance of each Fund. Therefore, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable under the Agreements.
Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called “fall-out benefits” to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, such as reputational value derived from serving as Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Funds.
After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees concluded with respect to each Fund, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements that the fees payable under the Agreements represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Funds.
