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 fund referenced above. Participating in the meeting are holders of common shares of beneficial interest (the "Common Shares") of each fund and the holders of preferred shares of beneficial interest (the "Preferred Shares") of Pioneer Floating Rate Trust, Pioneer High Income Trust, Pioneer Municipal High Income Trust and Pioneer Municipal High Income Advantage Trust. Each meeting will be held at the offices of Bingham McCutchen LLP, One Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, at 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, on Monday, September 22, 2008, and at any adjournments or postponements 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 August 5, 2008. 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 July 9, 2008 (the "record date") are entitled to vote on all of the fund's business at the annual shareholder meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. For Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust the affirmative vote of a plurality of the Common Shares of the fund present 1 at the meeting in person or by proxy is required to elect each nominee for Trustee. For each of Pioneer Floating Rate Trust, Pioneer High Income Trust, Pioneer Municipal High Income Trust and Pioneer Municipal High Income Advantage Trust, 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. Election by plurality means those three persons who receive the highest number of votes from shares cast "FOR" 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 card but do not fill in a vote, your shares will be voted FOR each of the nominees for Trustee listed on the proxy card. If any other business properly comes before the annual shareholder meeting, your shares will be voted at the discretion of the persons named as proxies. Shareholders of each fund will only vote on proposals relating to their fund. 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 the fund. Two of the nominees for election to each fund's Board currently serve as Trustees of the fund and have served in that capacity continuously since originally elected or appointed. Dr. Benjamin M. Friedman is not currently a Trustee of any of the funds. Each Trustee shall be elected to hold office for a three-year term and 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. 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 Agreement and Declaration of Trust for each fund provides that the Board of Trustees shall consist of Trustees divided into three classes, each class to consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of trustees constituting the entire Board of Trustees. 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 II and Class III. Class I Trustees are being submitted to shareholders for election at the meeting for Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust. Class II Trustees are being submitted to shareholders for election at the meeting for each of Pioneer Floating Rate Trust, Pioneer Municipal High Income Trust and Pioneer Municipal High Income Advantage Trust. Class III Trustees are being submitted to shareholders for election at the meeting for Pioneer High Income Trust. Each fund's Board of Trustees consists of nine members. 2 Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust The terms of the Class I Trustees -- Ms. Graham, Mr. Kingsbury and Mr. Winthrop -- expire at the upcoming 2008 annual meeting; the terms of the Class II Trustees -- Ms. Bush, Mr. Perna and Ms. Piret -- expire in 2009; the terms of the Class III Trustees -- Mr. Cogan, Mr. Bock and Mr. West -- expire in 2010. Pioneer Floating Rate Trust The terms of the Class II Trustees -- Ms. Graham, Mr. Kingsbury and Mr. Winthrop -- expire at the upcoming 2008 annual meeting; the terms of the Class III Trustees -- Ms. Bush, Mr. Perna and Ms. Piret -- expire in 2009; the terms of the Class I Trustees -- Mr. Cogan, Mr. Bock and Mr. West -- expire in 2010. Pioneer Municipal High Income Trust The terms of the Class II Trustees -- Ms. Graham, Mr. Kingsbury and Mr. Winthrop -- expire at the upcoming 2008 annual meeting; the terms of the Class III Trustees -- Ms. Bush, Mr. Perna and Ms. Piret -- expire in 2009; the terms of the Class I Trustees -- Mr. Cogan, Mr. Bock and Mr. West -- expire in 2010. Pioneer Municipal High Income Advantage Trust The terms of the Class II Trustees -- Ms. Graham, Mr. Kingsbury and Mr. Winthrop -- expire at the upcoming 2008 annual meeting; the terms of the Class III Trustees -- Ms. Bush, Mr. Perna and Ms. Piret -- expire in 2009; the terms of the Class I Trustees -- Mr. Cogan, Mr. Bock and Mr. West -- expire in 2010. Pioneer High Income Trust The terms of the Class III Trustees -- Ms. Graham, Mr. Kingsbury and Mr. Winthrop -- expire at the upcoming 2008 annual meeting; the terms of the Class I Trustees -- Ms. Bush, Mr. Perna and Ms. Piret -- expire in 2009; the terms of the Class II Trustees -- Mr. Cogan, Mr. Bock and Mr. West -- expire in 2010. Subsequently, for each fund, 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. Winthrop is retiring as Trustee of each fund and will not stand for election. Dr. Friedman was nominated as a Trustee by each Board in anticipation of Mr. Winthrop's retirement. Dr. Friedman is being proposed for election at the meeting as a Class I Trustee for Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust; Class II Trustee for each of Pioneer Floating Rate Trust, Pioneer Municipal High Income Trust and Pioneer Municipal High Income Advantage Trust; and Class III Trustee for Pioneer High Income Trust. Holders of the Preferred Shares of each fund that has issued Preferred Shares are entitled to elect two trustees of that fund. Mr. Cogan and Ms. Piret have been designated as the Trustees to be elected by the holders of the Preferred Shares of each fund that has issued Preferred Shares. As noted above, neither Mr. Cogan's nor Ms. Piret's terms expire at the upcoming 2008 annual meeting. Consequently, Preferred Shares are not asked to vote as a separate class at the upcoming 2008 annual meeting. 3 The following table sets forth the nominees for election, their ages, each nominee's or incumbent Trustee's position(s) with each fund, his or her age, address, principal occupation during the past five years and any other board memberships they hold. Trustees who are interested persons of a fund within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (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 (except Mr. West, Mr. Bock and Dr. Friedman) serves as a Trustee of each of the 77 U.S. registered investment portfolios for which Pioneer Investment Management, Inc. ("Pioneer") serves as investment adviser (the "Pioneer Funds"). Mr. West serves as Trustee of 33 of the 77 Pioneer Funds, and Mr. Bock serves as Trustee of 76 of the 77 Pioneer Funds. Dr. Friedman serves as Trustee of 71 of the 77 Pioneer Funds. The address for all Trustees and all officers of each fund is 60 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.

Board Committees The Board of Trustees for each fund has an Audit Committee, an Independent Trustees Committee, a Nominating Committee, a Policy Administration Committee and a Valuation Committee. Committee members currently are as follows: Audit David R. Bock, Margaret B.W. Graham, Marguerite A. Piret (Chair) and Stephen K. West Independent Trustees David R. Bock, Mary K. Bush, Margaret B.W. Graham (Chair), Thomas J. Perna, Marguerite A. Piret, Stephen K. West and John Winthrop Nominating Mary K. Bush, Marguerite A. Piret and John Winthrop (Chair) 11 Policy Administration Mary K. Bush (Chair), Thomas J. Perna and John Winthrop Valuation David R. Bock, Margaret B.W. Graham, Marguerite A. Piret (Chair) and Stephen K. West During the most recent fiscal year for each fund, the Audit, Independent Trustees, Nominating, Policy Administration and Valuation Committees of each fund held the following meetings: Municipal Diversified Municipal High High Floating High High Income Income Rate Income Income Advantage Trust Trust Trust Trust Trust ------------- ---------- -------- ----------- ---------- Audit Committee ......................... 7 10 8 8 8 Independent Trustees Committee .......... 9 10 8 9 8 Nominating Committee .................... 4 6 4 4 4 Policy Administration Committee ......... 5 5 5 5 5 Valuation Committee ..................... 5 4 5 5 5 Each fund's Audit Committee is comprised of only Independent Trustees who are "independent" as defined in the applicable New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and American Stock Exchange ("Amex") listing standards relating to closed-end funds. The Board of Trustees of each fund has adopted a charter for the Audit Committee. In accordance with its charter, the purposes of the Audit Committee are to: o Assist the Board of Trustees' oversight and monitoring of: (i) the integrity of the fund's financial statements; (ii) the fund's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements that relate to the fund's accounting and financial reporting, internal financial controls and independent audits (except to the extent such responsibility is delegated to another committee of the Board); (iii) the independent registered public accounting firm's qualifications, performance and independence; and (iv) the performance of the fund's internal audit function; and o Prepare an Audit Committee Report to the extent required by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to be included in the fund's annual proxy statement and other filings. The Audit Committee reports that it has (1) reviewed and discussed each fund's audited financial statements with management; (2) discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters relating to the quality of each fund's financial reporting; and (3) received written disclosures and an independence letter from the independent registered public accounting firm and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm that firm's independence. Based upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Trustees 12 that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report for Pioneer Floating Rate Trust for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007, the Annual Reports for Pioneer High Income Trust and Pioneer Municipal High Income Advantage Trust for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 and in the Annual Reports for Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust and Pioneer Municipal High Income Trust for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee charter is available on Pioneer's website: www.pioneerinvestments.com. You can also obtain a copy by sending a written request to your fund at the address listed on this proxy statement. Each fund's Board of Trustees has determined that the fund has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its Audit Committee. Ms. Piret, an Independent Trustee, serves on each Audit Committee and has been determined to be an audit committee financial expert. All members of the Nominating Committee are independent under the applicable NYSE and Amex listing standards relating to closed-end funds, 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 available on Pioneer's website: www.pioneerinvestments.com. You can also obtain a copy by sending a written request to your fund at the address listed on this proxy statement. The Nominating Committee reviews the qualifications of persons being considered as candidates for Independent Trustee and makes recommendations regarding the qualifications of such persons to the Independent Trustees Committee. The Independent Trustees Committee then evaluates any candidate and determines whether to nominate him or her for election. The Trustees who are not Independent Trustees and the officers of each fund are nominated and selected by the Board. 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 criterion. 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 the fund would favor the re-nomination of an existing Trustee rather than a new candidate. 13 Consequently, while the Nominating Committee will evaluate the qualifications of nominees recommended by shareholders to serve as Trustee, the Independent Trustees might act upon the Nominating Committee's evaluation only 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 Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-laws of the fund 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 under the Exchange Act, 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. The Nominating Committee followed its standard practices in identifying and recommending Dr. Friedman as a Nominee. The Chairperson of the Nominating Committee solicited suggestions from the Independent Trustees for nominees to the Board who met the criteria for nominees set forth in the Nominating Committee charter and collected biographical information about the persons suggested. The Chairperson also collected biographical information of current Board members, and the Nominating Committee analyzed their experience and capabilities as a group, in order to identify a skill set and other characteristics that would be most complementary in a new Board member. Based on this analysis, four of the candidates were interviewed by the Nominating Committee. Each Nominating Committee member assessed each candidate as to the characteristics identified. The Nominating Committee then recommended to the full Board the nomination of Dr. Friedman to serve as a Board member. 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 communication to members of the Board that does not relate to the business of a fund. 14 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 separately. For Pioneer High Income Trust, Pioneer Municipal High Income Advantage Trust and Pioneer Municipal High Income Trust, during each fund's most recent fiscal year, the Board of Trustees held 11 meetings. For Pioneer Floating Rate Trust, during the fund's most recent fiscal year, the Board of Trustees held 10 meetings. For Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust, during the fund's most recent fiscal year, the Board of Trustees held 6 meetings. All of the current Trustees committee members of each fund then serving attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of Trustees and applicable committees, if any, held during that fund's fiscal year. The following table indicates the value of shares that each Trustee or nominee beneficially owned in each fund and Pioneer Funds in the aggregate as of May 31, 2008. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules. The share value of any closed-end Pioneer fund is based on its closing market price on May 31, 2008. The share value of any open-end Pioneer fund is based on the net asset value of the class of shares on May 31, 2008. The dollar ranges in this table are in accordance with SEC requirements.

Any services outside the specific pre-approved service subcategories set forth above must specifically be 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 independent registered public accounting firm as set forth in the above policy. The charter of each Audit Committee requires that the Audit Committee shall approve (a) all audit and non-audit services to be provided to each fund and (b) all non-audit services to be provided by the fund's independent public accounting firm to Pioneer and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the fund ("Covered Service Providers") if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the fund.

Pre-approval by the Audit Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (a) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to a fund, Pioneer and any Covered Service Provider constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided to (i) the fund, (ii) Pioneer and (iii) any Covered Service Provider during the fiscal year in which services are provided that would not have to be approved by the Audit Committee; (b) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (c) such services are promptly brought to the 27 attention of the Audit Committee and approved by the Audit Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to completion of the audit.

A proposal that is not to be included in a fund's proxy statement may be made at the 2009 annual meeting for such fund only 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 least 90 days before the anniversary date of the mailing of the fund's proxy materials for 2008 annual meeting provided, however, that in the event that the date of the mailing of the notice for the 2009 annual meeting for a fund is advanced or delayed by more than thirty (30) days from the anniversary date of the mailing of the notice for 2008 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 2009 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 2009 annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of mailing of the notice for the 2009 meeting is first made by the fund. The fund's By-laws require that certain information must be provided by the shareholder to the fund when notice of a nominee for election as a Trustee or proposal is submitted to 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 of Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust, Pioneer Floating Rate Trust, Pioneer High Income Trust, Pioneer Municipal High Income Trust and Pioneer Municipal High Income Advantage Trust currently expect to hold the next annual shareholders' meeting on or about September 8, 2009, 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 generally 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 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 or postponement thereof. For Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust, one-third of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the 35 transaction of business at the meeting. For each of Pioneer Floating Rate Trust, Pioneer High Income Trust, Pioneer Municipal High Income Trust and Pioneer Municipal High Income Advantage Trust, one-third of the outstanding shares of the Common and Preferred Shares of the fund entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, counted together, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting. 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 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. However, an abstention from voting has the same effect as a vote against a proposal. Also, 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 for an election of Trustees. On any matter submitted to a vote of shareholders each whole share shall be entitled to one vote as to any matter on which it is entitled to vote and each fractional share shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. 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. 36 Method of solicitation and expenses The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy statement, accompanying 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 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 has retained the Altman Group, Inc. to assist in the proxy solicitation. The cost of their services is estimated at approximately $89,000. 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, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 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 the fund, upon request, for the reasonable expenses of mailing soliciting materials to the principals of the accounts.
