Notes to Schedule 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 official closing prices, last reported sales prices, or if no sales or closing prices are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services. The Funds investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or broker/dealer quotations, or by using the last sale or settlement price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last bid and ask quotations. 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.
The Board of Trustees (the Board) has adopted procedures for valuing portfolio securities and other financial instruments in circumstances where market quotations are not readily available, and has delegated primary responsibility for applying the valuation methods to Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the Investment Manager) and Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (the Sub-Adviser), affiliate of the Investment Manager. The Funds Valuation Committee was established by the Board to oversee the implementation of the Funds valuation methods and to make fair value determinations on behalf of the Board, as instructed by the Board. The Sub-Adviser monitors the continued appropriateness of methods applied and determines if adjustments should be made in light of market changes, events affecting the issuer or other factors. If the Sub-Adviser determines that a valuation method may no longer be appropriate, another valuation method may be selected or the Valuation Committee will be convened to consider the matter and take any appropriate action in accordance with procedures set forth by the Board. The Board shall review and ratify the appropriateness of the valuation methods and these methods may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Valuation Committee.
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 debt instruments maturing in 60 days or less are value at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing premium or discount based on their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days.
The prices used by the Fund to value investments may differ from the value that would be realized if the investments were sold, and these differences could be material. The Funds net asset value (NAV) 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.
(a) | Securities exchangeable or convertible into securities of an entity different than the issuer or structured by the issuer to provide exposure to securities of an entity different than the issuer (synthetic convertible securities). Such entity is identified in the parenthetical. |
(b) | Perpetual maturity. The date shown, if any, is the next call date. |
(c) | Private PlacementRestricted as to resale and may not have a readily available market. Securities with an aggregate value of $135,270,392, representing 12.1% of total investments. |
(d) | 144AExempt 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. |
(e) | Step BondCoupon is a fixed rate for an initial period then resets at a specific date and rate. |
(f) | In addition to the coupon rate shown, the issuer is expected to pay additional interest based on the actual dividends paid on its common stock. |
(g) | At November 30, 2014, the cost basis of portfolio securities for federal income tax purposes was $1,092,555,585. Gross unrealized appreciation was $77,700,027 gross unrealized depreciation was $55,878,790 and net unrealized appreciation was $21,821,237. Differences between book and tax cost basis were attributable to wash sale loss deferrals and the differing treatment of bond premium amortization. |

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 Fund has the ability to access
Level 2 valuations based on other significant observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates or other market corroborated inputs
Level 3 valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Sub-Advisers or Valuation Committees own assumptions and single brokers quote)
The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the nine months ended November 30, 2014 were intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The Funds policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. An investment assets or liabilitys level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of 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 techniques used. Assets categorized as Level 1 or 2 as of period end may have been transferred between Levels 1 and 2 since the prior period due to changes in the valuation method utilized in valuing the investments.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following are certain inputs and techniques that the Fund generally uses to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities for Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock)Equity securities traded in inactive markets 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.
Convertible Bonds & NotesConvertible bonds & notes 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 & notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.
Corporate Bonds & NotesCorporate bonds & notes are generally comprised of two main categories: investment grade bonds and high yield bond. 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 option 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 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 & notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.
