PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. Letter to Stockholders
September 15, 2009
Dear Stockholder:
Please find enclosed the semi-annual report for PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (the Fund) for the fiscal six-month period ended July 31, 2009.
Government bond prices fell during the six-month reporting period as early signs of improving economic conditions contributed to shifting investor sentiments away from low yielding U.S. Treasury securities and in favor of corporate stocks and bonds. During the six-month reporting period, U.S. government bonds, as represented by the Barclays Capital Long Term Treasuries Index declined 3.09%. The Funds benchmark and a broad credit market measure of government and corporate securities, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, returned 4.47% and global bonds, as represented by the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index, returned 7.27%. U.S. stocks, as represented by the Standard & Poors 500 Index returned 21.18%.
The Federal Reserve (the Fed) engaged in quantitative easing during the period, purchasing significant amounts of securities from banks in order to add to the supply of cash available for lending.
On April 6, 2009, the Fund issued a press release to make explicit that the Funds investment policies allow it to hold common stock received from conversion of other portfolio securities, such that common stocks may represent up to 20% of the Funds total assets. The Fund may invest in preferred stock and convertible securities, and these securities may allow for conversion into common stock.
For specific information on the Fund and its performance, please review the following pages. If you have any questions regarding the information provided, we encourage you to contact your financial advisor or call the Funds stockholder servicing agent at (800) 254-5197. In addition, a wide range of information and resources is available on our website, www.allianzinvestors.com/closedendfunds.
Together with Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC, the Funds investment manager and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO), the Funds sub-adviser, we thank you for investing with us.
We remain dedicated to serving your investment needs.
Sincerely,
Hans W. Kertess | Brian S. Shlissel | |

PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. Fund Insights/Performance & Statistics
July 31, 2009 (unaudited)
| For the fiscal six months ended July 31, 2009, PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund (the Fund) returned 14.97% on net asset value (NAV) and 5.20% on market price. |
| Treasury yields rose sharply and the yield curve steepened during the first half of 2009 over concerns of Treasury issuance and potential inflationary pressures. |
| Valuations of many non-Treasury fixed-income securities, such as mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and corporate bonds recovered to levels last experienced in September 2008 as risk appetites returned. |
Drivers of Fund performance:
| A curve-steepening bias benefited performance as long-term interest rates continued to rise on supply and inflation concerns, causing the yield curve to steepen. |
| An overweight to duration, or sensitivity to changes in market interest rates, detracted from performance as yields rose. |
| An emphasis on bonds in financial companies benefited performance as major banks passed the stress tests early during the reporting period and then began to wean themselves off government aid. |
| An overweight position in MBS benefited performance as liquidity improved primarily due to government support programs. |

(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or market share price (as applicable) in the specified period. The calculation assumes that all income dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, have been reinvested. 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 Funds shares, or changes in Fund distributions.
An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, market price, market yield and net asset value will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information 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. Net asset value is equal to total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily.
(2) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly per share dividend payable to stockholders by the market price per share at July 31, 2009.

(b) | Illiquid security. |
(c) | These securities generally pay interest at rates which are periodically pre-determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally either the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the LIBOR or the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks, or the certificate of deposit rate. These securities are generally considered to be restricted as the Fund is ordinarily contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent bank and/or borrower prior to disposition. Remaining maturities of senior loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contractual or optional payments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. The interest rate disclosed reflects the rate in effect on July 31, 2009. |
(d) | 144A Security Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, typically only to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these securities are not considered to be illiquid. |

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (the Fund) commenced operations of February 24, 1994. The Fund is organized as a Maryland corporation and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Act), as a closed-end, non-diversified, management investment company. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the Investment Manager) serves as the Funds Investment Manager and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (Allianz Global). Allianz Global is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. The Fund has 500 million of $0.00001 par value per share of common stock authorized.
The Funds primary investment objective is to generate, over time, a level of income higher than that generated by high-quality, intermediate-term U.S. debt securities. As a secondary objective, the Fund seeks to maintain volatility in the net asset value of the shares of the Fund comparable to that of high quality, intermediate-term U.S. debt securities.
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 the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of any loss to be remote.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund:
(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, based on 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 Directors, or persons acting at their discretion pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Directors, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily available. The Funds investments, including over-the-counter options, 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 last quoted mean price for those securities for which the over-the-counter market is the primary market or for listed securities in which there were no sales. 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. Exchange-traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. 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. Investments initially valued in currencies other than U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a

(a) Valuation of Investments (continued)
result, the net asset value (NAV) of the Funds shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is closed and the NAV may change on days when an investor is not able to purchase or sell shares.
The prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and these differences could be material to the financial statements. The Funds NAV is normally determined daily as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the NYSE on each day the NYSE is open for business.
(b) Fair Value Measurements
The Fund has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of the fair value measurements. Under FAS 157, 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 under FAS 157 are described below:
| Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Fund has 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) |
The Fund has adopted FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly (FAS 157-4). FAS 157-4 provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement. FAS 157-4 emphasizes that even if there has been significant decrease in volume and level activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation techniques used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same.
An investment assets or liabilitys level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement.
The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the six months ended July 31, 2009 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The Fund utilized option adjusted spread pricing to fair value Level 3 investments.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Securities purchased and sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Paydown gains and losses are recorded as interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(d) Federal Income Taxes
The Fund intends to distribute all of its 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.
FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (the Interpretation). The Interpretation establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Fund, 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 of the Interpretation has resulted in no material impact to the Funds financial statements at July 31, 2009. The Funds federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
(e) Dividends and Distributions
The Fund declares dividends from net investment income monthly to stockholders. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid annually. The Fund records dividends and distributions to its stockholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These book-tax differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes; they are reported as dividends and/or distributions of paid-in-capital in excess of par.
(f) Foreign Currency Translation
The Funds accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the period; and (2) purchases and sales, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions. The resulting net foreign currency gain or loss is included in the Funds Statement of Operations.
The Fund does not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Accordingly, such foreign currency gain or loss is included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. However, the Fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations; such amount is categorized as foreign currency gain or loss for both financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(g) Senior Loans
The Fund may purchase assignments of, and participations in, Senior Loans originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign commercial bank, insurance company, finance company or other financial institution (the Agent) for a lending syndicate of financial institutions (the Lender). When purchasing an assignment, the Fund succeeds to all the rights and obligations under the loan agreement with the same rights and obligations as the assigning Lender. Assignments may, however, be arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, and the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning Lender.
(h) Borrowing Under Mortgage Dollar Rolls
The Fund enters into dollar rolls in which the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, same or similar interest and maturity) securities on a specified future date. The difference between the selling price and future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income on the Funds Statement of Operations. During roll period, the Fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Fund accounts for rolls as financing transactions. The Funds dollar roll transactions are intended to enhance the Funds yield by earning a spread between the yield on the underlying mortgage securities and short-interest rates. At July 31, 2009, the Fund had $37,712 in dollar roll commitments outstanding.
(i) Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may enter into transactions with its custodian bank or securities brokerage firms whereby it purchases securities under agreements to resell at an agreed upon price and date (repurchase agreements). Each Fund through its custodian takes possession of securities collateralyzing the repurchase agreement. Such agreements are carried at the contract amount in the financial statements, which is considered to represent fair-value. Collateral pledged (the securities received), which consists primarily of U.S. government obligations and asset-backed securities, are held by the custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and the procedures adopted by the Fund require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
(j) Reverse Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells securities to a bank or broker-dealer and agrees to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed date and price. Generally, the effect of such a transaction is that the Fund can recover and reinvest all or most of the cash invested in the portfolio securities involved during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement and still be entitled to the returns associated with those portfolio securities. Such transactions are advantageous if the interest cost to the Fund of the reverse repurchase transaction is less than the returns it obtains on investments purchased with the cash. Unless the Fund covers its positions in reverse repurchase agreements (by segregating liquid assets at least equal in amount to the forward purchase commitment), its obligations under the agreements will be subject to the Funds limitations on borrowings. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Fund is obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Funds use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted pending determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Funds obligation to repurchase the securities.

July 31, 2009 (unaudited)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(k) When-Issued/Delayed-Delivery Transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. The transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Fund will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a designated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations; consequently, such fluctuations are taken into account when determining the net asset value. The Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When a security is sold on a delayed-delivery basis, the Fund does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
(l) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities
The Fund may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (SMBSs) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the markets perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
One type of SMBSs involves one class receiving all or a portion of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only, or IO and/or the high coupon rate with relatively low principal amount, or IOette class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only, or PO class). Payments received for IOs and IOettes are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Because little to no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO or IOettes, adjustments are made to the book value of the security on a daily basis until maturity. SMBS represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property, and may be structured in classes with rights to receive varying proportions of principal and interest. SMBS include interest-only securities (IOs), which receive all of the interest, and principal-only securities (POs), which receive all of the principal. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated payments of principal, the Fund may fail to recoup some or all of its initial investment in these securities. The market value of these securities is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates. These adjustments are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities.
(m) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises
Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or Ginnie Mae), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National

(m) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises (continued)
Mortgage Association (FNMA or Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC or Freddie Mac). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(n) Custody Credits on Cash Balances
The Fund may benefit from an expense offset arrangement with its custodian bank, whereby uninvested cash balances earn credits which reduce monthly custodian and accounting agent expenses. Had these cash balances been invested in income-producing securities, they would have generated income for the Fund.
(o) Interest Expense
Interest expense relates primarily to the Funds liability in connection with reverse repurchase agreements. Interest expense is recorded as it is incurred.
2. Principal Risks
In the normal course of business the Fund trades financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to among other things, changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit/counterparty risk). The main risks from derivative instruments are interest rate, foreign currency, market price and credit/counterparty risks.
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 Fund is 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 securitys market price to interest rate (i.e. yield) movements.
If the Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Portfolio, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, the Funds investments in foreign currency-denominated securities may reduce the returns of the Fund.
The market values of equity securities, such as common stock and preferred stock or equity-related investments such as futures and, options, 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 generally. 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

2. Principal Risk (continued)
industry. Equity securities and equity-related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.
The Fund will be exposed to credit risk on parties with whom it trades and will also bear the risk of settlement default. The Fund seeks to minimize concentrations of credit risk by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges. The Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivatives contract, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities, is 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 Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss to the Fund could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the Funds financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments.
The Funds sub-adviser, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the Sub-Adviser), an affiliate of the Investment Manager, seeks to minimize the Funds credit risks by performing reviews of each counterparty. Generally all transactions in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery using approved counterparties. The risk of default is considered minimal, as delivery of securities sold is only made once the Fund has received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.
The Fund is party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (ISDA Master Agreements) with select counterparties that govern transactions, over-the-counter derivative and foreign exchange contracts, entered into by the Fund and those counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements contain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to early terminate could be material to the Funds financial statements of the Fund.
The considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain purchases and sales made on a delayed-delivery basis are governed by Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (Master Forward Agreements) between the Fund and select counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral.
The Fund is also a party to by Master Repurchase Agreements (Master Repo Agreements) with select counterparties. The Master Repo Agreements maintain provision for, initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral.
The credit risk associated with certain contracts may be reduced by master netting arrangements to the extent that if an event of default occurs, all amounts with the counterparty are terminated and settled on a net basis. The Funds overall exposure to credit risk subject to master netting arrangements can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.

3. Market and Credit Risk
On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On September 19, 2008, a proceeding under the Securities Investor Protection Act (SIPA) was commenced with respect to Lehman Brothers Inc., a broker-dealer. A trustee appointed under SIPA is administering the bankruptcy estate of Lehman Brothers Inc. Lehman Brothers International (Europe) was placed in administration under the UK Insolvency Act on September 15, 2008. Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on October 3, 2008. In connection with these filings, the Lehman Brothers group of companies (collectively Lehman Brothers) will be reorganized and/or liquidated in an orderly fashion, subject to court approval. Each Lehman Brothers entity is a separate legal entity that is subject to its own bankruptcy proceeding.
The Fund had select derivatives transactions and collateral outstanding with Lehman Brothers entities as issuer, referenced entity, counterparty or guarantor at the time the relevant Lehman Brothers entity filed for protection or was placed in administration. Anticipated losses for securities and derivatives transactions associated with Lehman Brothers have been incorporated as payable to broker on the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities and net realized gain (loss) on the Funds Statement of Operations of the Fund. A facilitated auction occurred on October 10, 2008 comprising multiple pre-approved brokerage agencies to determine the estimated recovery rate for holdings and credit default swap agreements with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. as referenced entity. These recovery rates have been utilized in determining estimated recovery values for certain holdings. Financial assets and liabilities may be offset and the net amount may be reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities of the Fund where there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts (FIN 39) have been met.
The Sub-Adviser has delivered notices of default and in some cases, claim notices, to certain entities of Lehman Brothers in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreements. For transactions with Lehman Brothers counterparties, the Sub-Adviser has terminated the trades and has obtained quotations from brokers for replacement trades.
4. Financial Derivative Instruments
FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161) requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements of FAS 161 distinguish between derivatives which are accounted for as hedges and those that do not qualify for such accounting. Although the Fund may sometimes use derivatives for hedging purposes, the Fund reflects derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the Funds Statement of Operations, and such derivatives do not qualify for FAS 161 hedge accounting treatment. The derivative instruments outstanding as of July 31, 2009 as disclosed in the Notes to Financial Statements and the amounts of realized gain (loss) and changes in appreciation/depreciation on derivative instruments during the period as disclosed in the Statement of Operations serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for the Fund.
(a) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency risk arising from the investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund may also enter these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract

(a) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts (continued)
fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition, these contracts may involve market risk in excess o the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(b) Futures Contracts
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities market or the movement in interest rates and currency values. Upon entering into such a contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contracts, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contracts at the time they were opened and the value at the time they were closed. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded is simultaneously reversed. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets, and the possible inability or unwillingness of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
(c) Option Transactions
The Fund may purchase and write (sell) put and call options on securities for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or otherwise as part of its investment strategies. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options is decreased by the premiums paid.
When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as options written in the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recorded on the expiration date as a realized gain. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchased transactions, as a realized loss. If a call option written by the Fund is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option written is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security. In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of a written option could result in the Fund purchasing a security at a price different from its current market value.

(d) Swap Agreements
Swap agreements are privately negotiated agreements between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Fund may enter into credit default, cross-currency, interest rate, total return, variance and other forms of swap agreements in order to manage its exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency.
Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments made or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Funds Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Funds Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Funds Statement of Operations.
Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, legal, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks include the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparties to the agreements may default on their obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Credit Default Swap AgreementsCredit default swap agreements involve one party (referred to as the buyer of protection) making a stream of payments to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for the referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, the Fund will generally receive from the buyer of protection a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.

(d) Swap Agreements (continued)
Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protections right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Fund may use credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuers default.
Credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit events. Unlike credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, deliverable obligations in most instances would be limited to the specific referenced obligation as performance for asset-backed securities can vary across deals. Prepayments, principal paydowns, and other writedown or loss events on the underlying mortgage loans will reduce the outstanding principal balance of the referenced obligation. These reductions may be temporary or permanent as defined under the terms of the swap agreement and the notional amount for the swap agreement will be adjusted by corresponding amounts. The Fund may use credit default swaps on asset-backed securities to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the referenced obligation or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular referenced obligations default.
Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a list of a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of reference credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset backed securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that names weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. The Fund may use credit default swaps on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds with a credit default swap on indices which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. Credit-default swaps on indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of period end are disclosed later in the Notes (see 6(a)) and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap

(d) Swap Agreements (continued)
agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entitys credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of July 31, 2009 for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed later in the Notes (see 6(a)). These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
Interest Rate Swap AgreementsInterest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Fund with a counterparty of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments, with respect to the notional amount of principal. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or cap, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or floor, (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels, (iv) callable interest rate swaps, under which the counterparty may terminate the swap transaction in whole at zero cost by a predetermined date and time prior to the maturity date, (v) spreadlocks, which allow the interest rate swap users to lock in the forward differential (or spread) between the interest rate swap rate and a specified benchmark, or (vi) basis swap, under which two parties can exchange variable interest rates based on different money markets.

The Fund has an Investment Management Agreement (the Agreement) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Funds Board of Directors, 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 the Agreement, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.85% of the Funds average daily net assets.
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 Fund, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Adviser in return for its services.

7. Income Tax Information

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for securities in which there is an excess of value over tax cost is $26,597,010; aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over value is $32,142,194; net unrealized depreciation for federal income tax purposes is $5,545,184.
8. 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), agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations, claims brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) 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 Fund.
Since February 2004, the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser, and certain of their 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 multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. Any potential resolution of these matters may include, but not be limited to judgments or settlements for damages against the Investment Manager or its affiliates or related injunctions.
The Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory activities relating to the Fund.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date hereof.

Changes to the Funds Investment Policies:
Preferred Stock and Convertible Securities: Conversion to Common Stock. The Fund may invest in preferred stock and convertible securities, and these securities may allow for conversion into common stock. Effective April 6, 2009, the Funds investment policies were revised to make explicit that the Fund may hold common stock received from the conversion of other portfolio securities, such that common stocks may represent up to 20% of the Funds total assets. The Board of Directors formally approved this policy based on a recommendation from the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser that having the ability to hold common stock under these circumstances would be in the best interest of the Fund and the Funds stockholders. The Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser believe it is in the best interests of the Fund to have the flexibility to participate in such conversions and to hold common stock received in such conversions until adequate value can be realized or it otherwise deems it appropriate to dispose of common stock holdings.
Holding common stock involves risks different from or in addition to the risks associated with debt instruments. The market price of common stocks and other equity securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. The value of a companys equity securities may fall as a result of factors directly relating to that company, such as decisions made by its management or lower demand for the companys products or services. The value of an equity security may also fall because of factors affecting not only the company, but also companies in the same industry or sector, or in a number of different industries or sectors, such as increases in production costs. The value of a companys equity securities may also be affected by changes in financial markets that are relatively unrelated to the company or its industry, such as changes in interest rates or currency exchange rates, adverse circumstances involving the credit markets, periods of relative illiquidity, volatility, and perceived or actual instability in the banking and financial service sectors. In addition, because a companys equity securities rank junior in priority to the interests of bond holders and other creditors, a companys equity securities will usually react more strongly than its bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the companys financial condition or prospects. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility and usually produce lower yields than bonds and other debt securities.
Proxy Voting Policies & Procedures:
A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund has adopted to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information about how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve month period ended June 30 is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Funds stockholder servicing agent at (800) 254-5197; (ii) on the Funds website at www.allianzinvestors.com/closedendfunds; and (iii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov.
