President's Letter

Dear Shareowner,

Stock and bond markets around the globe this year have experienced one of their
most tumultuous periods in history. Investors have witnessed volatility of a
magnitude that many have never before seen. Distance often provides the best
vantage point for perspective. Still, we believe that the benefits of basic
investment principles that have stood the test of time -- even in the midst of
market turmoil -- cannot be underestimated.

First, invest for the long term. The founder of Pioneer Investments, Philip L.
Carret, began his investment career during the 1920s. One lesson he learned is
that while great prosperity affords an advantageous time for selling stocks,
extreme economic slumps can create opportunities for purchase. Indeed, many of
our portfolio managers, who follow the value-conscious investing approach of
our founder, are looking at recent market conditions as an opportunity to buy
companies whose shares we believe have been unjustifiably beaten down by
indiscriminate selling, but that we have identified as having strong prospects
over time. While investors may be facing a sustained market downturn, we
continue to believe that patience, along with staying invested in the market,
are important considerations for long-term investors.

A second principle is to stay diversified across different types of
investments. The global scope of the current market weakness poses challenges
for this basic investment axiom. But the turbulence makes now a good time to
reassess your portfolio and make sure that your investments continue to meet
your needs. We believe you should work closely with your financial advisor to
find the mix of stocks, bonds and money market assets that is best aligned to
your particular risk tolerance and investment objective.

As the investment markets sort through the continuing crisis in the financial
industry, we are staying focused on the fundamentals and risk management. With
more than 80 years of experience behind us, we have learned how to navigate
turbulent markets. At Pioneer Investments, risk management has always been a
critical part of our culture -- not just during periods of extraordinary
volatility. Our investment process is based on fundamental research,
quantitative analysis and active portfolio management. This three-pillared
process, which we apply to each of our portfolios, is supported by an
integrated team approach and is designed to carefully balance risk and reward.
While we


2    Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust | Semiannual Report | 10/31/08


see potential chances for making money in many corners of the market, it takes
research and experience to separate solid investment opportunities from
speculation.

We invite you to learn more about Pioneer and our time-tested approach to
investing by consulting with your financial advisor or visiting us online at .
Thank you for investing with Pioneer.

Respectfully,

/s/ Daniel K. Kingsbury

Portfolio Management Discussion |10/31/08

A credit crisis that originally appeared in the U.S. subprime mortgage market
spread to financial markets throughout the globe during the six months ended
October 31, 2008. As markets grew increasingly worried about credit risk,
corporate bonds and bank loans were among the asset classes that suffered steep
price losses in a global flight-to-quality that primarily benefited only the
highest-quality assets, such as U.S. Treasuries. The following is an interview
with Portfolio Managers Andrew Feltus, CFA, and Jonathan Sharkey, who discuss
the factors that affected performance of Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust
during the six-month period ended October 31. Mr. Feltus and Mr. Sharkey are
members of the Pioneer Fixed Income Department and leaders of the investment
team responsible for the daily management of the Trust.

Q  How did the Trust perform during the six months ended October 31, 2008?

A  Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust had a total return of -25.51% at net
   asset value and -31.16% at market price during the six months ended October
   31, 2008. During the same period, the Trust's custom benchmark returned
   -22.11%. The custom benchmark is based on a 50% weight of the Merrill Lynch
   Global High Yield and Emerging Markets Plus Index, which returned -26.77%,
   and a 50% weight of the CSFB Leveraged Loan Index, which returned -17.44%.
   The Trust's distribution yield to investors on October 31, 2008, was 20.14%
   at market price.

Q  What was the investment environment like during the six months ended October
   31, 2008?

A  An emerging crisis in financial markets hit credit markets particularly hard
   during the six-month period, resulting in dramatic price declines for
   investments carrying credit risk, including high-yield corporate bonds,
   investment-grade corporate bonds, and bank loans. October, the final month
   of the period, was the worst month on record in both the high-yield bond
   market and the bank loan market. The Merrill Lynch Global High Yield and
   Emerging Markets Plus Index returned -17.62%, and the CSFB Leveraged Loan
   Index returned -13.03% during that month alone. The problem started with
   the deterioration in housing prices, which eventually resulted in the
   failure or near-collapse of several major financial institutions. As the
   financial markets became more volatile and available money for traditional
   lending grew scarce, Congress passed a $700 billion financial rescue plan
   and the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") continued to find ways to inject
   more money into the financial system. The Fed, for example,


4    Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust | Semiannual Report | 10/31/08


   cut the key fed funds rate to just 1.00% in October 2008. Meanwhile,
   evidence increased of deteriorating economic conditions both in the United
   States and abroad, with fears growing that the global economy might already
   have entered a recession.

   In this environment, in which investors tried to avoid risk, U.S.
   Treasuries and the sovereign debt of foreign industrialized nations tended
   to hold up better than other parts of the fixed-income markets. Mortgages
   backed by U.S. federal agencies trailed Treasuries, but outperformed most
   other types of fixed-income investments. Bank loans, while turning in their
   worst performance on record, nevertheless outperformed corporate bonds,
   both high yield and investment grade. In the emerging markets,
   higher-quality sovereign debt performed relatively well, outperforming U.S.
   investment-grade corporate bonds. Other emerging market securities,
   including corporates, did well until late summer, when they faltered as the
   aversion to credit risk spread to markets throughout the world.

Q  What were your principal investment strategies for the Trust during the six
   months ended October 31, 2008?

A  We kept the Trust well diversified, with larger allocations to U.S. and
   foreign high-yield securities, floating-rate bank loans and event-linked
   bonds. We managed the Trust to maintain a balanced, fixed-income strategy
   that gives its portfolio exposure to different yield-oriented asset
   classes. At October 31, 2008, for example, approximately 29% of the Trust's
   assets were invested in domestic bank loans and more than 28% of assets
   were invested in U.S. high-yield corporate bonds. Emerging market and
   European high-yield investments accounted for nearly 10% of Trust
   investments at October 31, while mortgage-backed securities represented
   nearly 6% of assets. Also, about 23% of the Trust's assets were invested in
   event-linked bonds, which are issued as reinsurance securities against the
   possibility of significant losses from natural catastrophes, such as
   hurricanes or earthquakes. The rest of the Trust's assets were allocated to
   cash and cash equivalents. The average credit quality of Trust's
   investments was B+ at October 31, 2008.

   The Trust has the ability to borrow funds, or use leverage, in its
   investment strategy. At the end of the period, about 30.2% of the Trust's
   portfolio was leveraged through bank loans.

Q  How did the Trust's positioning affect performance results for the period?

A  The Trust's investment in event-linked bonds supported relative performance,
   as these securities outperformed other high-yielding categories. While
   several strong hurricanes did cause significant property losses over the
   six-month period, the damage was not sufficient to adversely affect
   investors in the bonds. The Trust's exposure to high-yield bonds hurt
   performance during a period when lower-rated securities performed poorly.


       Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust | Semiannual Report | 10/31/08    5


   Also, the Trust's relatively low exposure to emerging market and European
   high-yield bonds helped relative performance, as those securities performed
   particularly poorly over the period. We underweighted the Trust both in
   European high-yield corporate bonds and the euro currency, because we
   believed the European market offered less yield than the United States,
   while many European corporations had greater debt loads, or leverage, than
   American companies.

   Although bank loan investments tended to lose value during the six months,
   the Trust's portfolio held up better than the overall bank loan market,
   primarily because of the higher-quality orientation of the portfolio. We
   focused on loans with credit ratings of BB- and above. We also had fewer
   covenant-light loans, which are bank loans that offer relatively thin
   protection for investors. The Trust's investments tended to be in loans
   that offered greater covenant protection, and these outperformed the
   overall loan market. During the period ended October 31, 2008, we added
   investments in senior tranches of private label, lower-quality U.S.
   mortgage-backed securities. The investments did not help the Trust's
   performance immediately, but we found their valuations to be particularly
   attractive, as they were priced for extremely severe scenarios that we
   thought unlikely to occur.

   While the Trust's use of leverage allowed investors to gain higher yields,
   the use of leverage tends to exaggerate the price moves in the market.
   During a period in which higher-yielding investments tended to endure
   losses in their valuations, the use of leverage hurt the Trust's
   performance on a total return basis.

Q  What were some of the individual investments that influenced the Trust's
   performance?

A  The Trust's position in bank loans to Talecris helped support results when
   the value of the investment increased in value. A health care-related
   company involved in processing blood supplies, Talecris successfully
   entered into an agreement with another corporation that improved the
   company's growth prospects.

   On the negative side, two defaults held back performance. One was of a bank
   loan to LandSource, which is a land development joint venture between
   homebuilder Lennar and the California Public Employees' Retirement System
   (CALPERS). The joint venture was hit hard by the real estate slump in
   California and filed for bankruptcy protection. We have retained the
   position because we think there is an opportunity to recover some of the
   value of the investment. The second default was of a bond issued by
   Bulgaria Steel. The company had been acquired by a group of Indian
   investors who subsequently found that the company had some unanticipated
   problems. We sold most of the Trust's Bulgaria Steel holding. Also hurting
   performance were investments in the bonds of Kazak and Russian banks, which



6    Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust | Semiannual Report | 10/31/08


   underperformed other emerging market corporate bonds when they came under
   pressure in the global credit crisis.

Q  What is your investment outlook?

A  As we enter a six month period, we think both high-yield bonds and bank loans
   appear inexpensive.

   We have a cautious view of the near-term environment for bank loans because
   of the many uncertainties in the market. On a fundamental basis, we believe
   bank loans have been trading at extraordinarily cheap levels and offer the
   opportunity for some price appreciation when the market begins to stabilize
   and eventually recover. We believe that even if market default rates were
   to increase from their present levels, bank loans at present prices offer
   considerable potential value. However, the market still may face some
   short-term volatility. With loan prices at unprecedented lows, the overall
   loan market is trading at intrinsic value (this means that the entire loan
   market is being priced by investors at levels that reflect historical
   recovery rates in bankruptcy). With loan prices at historically deep
   discounts, any payments by borrowers should allow investors to reap capital
   appreciation, and the payment proceeds would then need to be reinvested by
   fund managers. That should boost both demand and prices, given the limited
   supply of new loan issues in today's market.

   In the high-yield bond market, we think prices -- as reflected by the yield
   spreads between high-yield bonds and less-risky investments -- are trading
   at levels that reflect Depression-era default rates, which we believe is a
   highly unlikely scenario. While we cannot forecast when the economy will
   begin to improve, we do think there is great value in the high-yield
   market. We intend to rely on intensive credit analysis and remain focused
   on finding the best opportunities among the highest-quality companies in
   the high-yield market.

   We also expect to continue to look at values for investments in
   event-linked bonds, as those opportunities present themselves.

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments on pages 12-34 for a full listing
of Trust securities.

Investments in high-yield or lower-rated securities are subject to
greater-than-average risk. The Trust may invest in securities of issuers that
are in default or that are in bankruptcy.

Investing in foreign and/or emerging markets securities involves risks relating
to interest rates, currency exchange rates, economic, and political conditions.


       Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust | Semiannual Report | 10/31/08    7


When interest rates rise, the prices of fixed-income securities in the Trust
will generally fall. Conversely, when interest rates fall the prices of
fixed-income securities in the Trust will generally rise. Investments in the
Trust are subject to possible loss due to the financial failure of underlying
securities and their inability to meet their debt obligations.

The Trust may invest significantly in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities
may be difficult to dispose of at a fair price at the times when the Trust
believes it is desirable to do so and their market price is generally more
volatile than that of more liquid securities. Illiquid securities are also more
difficult to value and investment of the Trust's assets in illiquid securities
may restrict the Trust's ability to take advantage of market opportunities.

The Trust may use leverage through the issuance of preferred shares with an
aggregate liquidation preference of up to 331/3% of the Trust's total assets
after such issuance. Leverage creates significant risks, including the risk
that the Trust's income or capital appreciation will not be sufficient to cover
the cost of leverage, which may adversely affect the return for the holders of
common shares.

Risks of investing in the Trust are discussed in greater detail in the Trust's
registration statement on Form N-2 relating to its common shares, which may be
viewed by visiting the Securities and Exchange Commission's web site at
http://www.sec.gov.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and there is no guarantee
that market forecasts discussed will be realized.

Call 1-800-225-6292 or visit www.pioneerinvestments.com for the most recent
month-end performance results. Current performance may be lower or higher than
the performance data quoted.

Performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is no
guarantee of future results. Investment return and market price will fluctuate,
and your shares may trade below net asset value ("NAV"), due to such factors as
interest rate changes, and the perceived credit quality of borrowers.

Total investment return does not reflect broker sales charges or commissions.
All performance is for common shares of the Trust.

Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is
a one-time public offering and, once issued, shares of closed-end funds are
sold in the open market through a stock exchange and frequently trade at prices
lower than their NAV. NAV per common share is total assets less total
liabilities, which includes bank borrowing, divided by the number of common
shares outstanding.

When NAV is lower than market price, dividends are assumed to be reinvested at
the greater of NAV or 95% of the market price. When NAV is higher, dividends
are assumed to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Trust's dividend
reinvestment plan.

The performance table and graph do not reflect the deduction of fees and taxes
that a shareowner would pay on Trust distributions.

The Merrill Lynch Global High Yield and Emerging Markets Plus Index tracks the
performance of the below- and border-line investment-grade global debt markets
denominated in the major developed market currencies. The Index includes
sovereign issuers rated BBB1 and lower along with corporate issues rated BB1
and lower. There are no restrictions on issuer country of domicile. The CSFB
Leveraged Loan Index is designed to mirror the investible universe of the U.S.
dollar-denominated leveraged loan market. The CSFB Leveraged Loan Index
consists of tradable term loans with at least one year to maturity and rated
BBB or lower.

Index returns are calculated monthly, assume reinvestment of dividends and,
unlike Trust returns, do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. You
cannot invest directly in an index.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust (the "Trust") was organized as a Delaware
statutory trust on January 30, 2007. Prior to commencing operations on May 30,
2007, the Trust had no operations other than matters relating to its
organization and registration as a diversified, closed-end management
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and
the sale and issuance to Pioneer Investment Management, Inc. ("PIM"), the
Trust's investment adviser, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of UniCredit
S.p.A. ("UniCredit"), of 4,188 shares of beneficial interest at an aggregate
purchase price of $100,000. PIM had agreed to reimburse all the Trust's
organizational expenses and to pay the amount by which the aggregate offering
costs (other than the sales load) exceed $0.05 per share of the common share
offering. The investment objective of the Trust is to provide a high level of
current income and, as a secondary objective, the Trust may seek capital
appreciation to the extent that it is consistent with its investment objective.

The Trust's investments in certain foreign markets or countries with limited
developing markets may subject the Trust to a greater degree of risk than in a
developed market. These risks include disruptive political or economic
conditions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency
exchange restrictions.

Information regarding the Trust's principal risks is contained in the Trust's
original offering prospectus, with additional information included in the
Trust's Shareowner reports from time to time. Please refer to those documents
when considering the Trust's risks. At times, the Trust's investments may
represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common
risks, making it more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory
developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors.

The Trust invests in below investment grade (high yield) debt securities,
floating rate loans and event-linked bonds sometimes referred to as
"catastrophic" bonds or "insurance-linked" bonds. The Trust may invest in
securities and other obligations of any credit quality, including those that
are rated below investment grade, or are unrated but are determined by the
investment adviser to be of equivalent credit quality. Below investment grade
securities are commonly referred to as "junk bonds" and are considered
speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay
principal. These securities involve greater risk of loss, are subject to
greater price volatility, and are less liquid, especially during periods of
economic uncertainty or change, than


40    Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust | Semiannual Report | 10/31/08


higher rated debt securities. The Trust may invest in securities of issuers
that are in default or that are in bankruptcy.

The Trust's financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles that require the management of the
Trust to, among other things, make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of income, expenses and gains and losses on investments during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Trust in preparation of its financial statements, which are consistent with
those generally accepted in the investment company industry:

A.   Security Valuation

     Security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Investments in loan
     interests are valued in accordance with guidelines established by the Board
     of Trustees at the mean between the last available bid and asked prices
     from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from Loan Pricing
     Corporation. For loan interests for which no reliable price quotes are
     available, such investments are valued by Loan Pricing Corporation through
     the use of pricing matrices to determine valuations.

     Fixed-income securities are valued at prices supplied by independent
     pricing services, which consider such factors as Treasury spreads, yields,
     maturities and ratings. Valuations may be supplemented by values obtained
     from dealers and other sources, as required. Equity securities are valued
     at the last sale price on the principal exchange where they are traded.
     Securities or Loan Interests for which quotations are not readily available
     are valued using fair value methods pursuant to procedures adopted by the
     Board of Trustees. Trading in foreign securities is substantially completed
     each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of
     such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Trust's shares
     are determined as of such times. The Trust may also use the fair value of a
     security, including a non-U.S. security, when the closing market price on
     the primary exchange where the security is traded no longer accurately
     reflects the value of the security as of the close of the exchange. As of
     October 31, 2008, the Trust held no fair valued securities. Temporary cash
     investments are valued at amortized cost.

     Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain
     dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have
     passed are recorded as soon as the Trust becomes aware of the ex-dividend
     data in the exercise of reasonable diligence. Discounts and premiums on
     debt securities are accreted or amortized, respectively, daily, on an
     effective


      Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust | Semiannual Report | 10/31/08    41


     yield to maturity basis and are included in interest income. Premiums and
     discounts related to certain mortgage-backed securities are amortized or
     accreted in proportion to the monthly paydowns. Interest income, including
     income on interest bearing cash accounts, is recorded on an accrual basis.

     Gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified
     cost method for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.

B.   Foreign Currency Translation

     The books and records of the Trust are maintained in U.S. dollars. Amounts
     denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using
     the appropriate current exchange rates.

     Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent,
     among other things, the net realized gains and losses on foreign currency
     contracts, disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the
     amount of income accrued and the U.S. dollars actually received. Further,
     the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments
     are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of
     changes in market prices of those securities but are included with the net
     realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

C.   Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

     The Trust enters into forward foreign currency contracts ("contracts") for
     the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a
     future date as a hedge or cross-hedge against either specific investment
     transactions (settlement hedges) or portfolio positions (portfolio hedges).
     All contracts are marked to market daily at the applicable exchange rates,
     and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded in the Trust's
     financial statements. The Trust records realized gains and losses at the
     time a portfolio hedge is offset by entry into a closing transaction or
     extinguished by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering
     into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet
     the terms of the contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of
     foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (see Note 3).

D.   Federal Income Taxes

     It is the Trust's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal
     Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
     all of its taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its
     shareowners. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. All
     tax returns filed thus far are subject to examination by tax authorities.

     The amounts and characterizations of distributions to shareowners for
     financial reporting purposes are determined in accordance with federal


42    Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust | Semiannual Report | 10/31/08


     income tax rules. Therefore, the sources of the Trust's distributions may
     be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from or in
     excess of net investment income or net realized gain (loss) on investment
     and foreign currency transactions, or from paid-in capital, depending on
     the type of book/tax differences that may exist.

     The Trust has elected to defer $1,725,324 in capital losses realized
     between November 1, 2007 and April 30, 2008 to its fiscal year ending April
     30, 2009.

     At April 30, 2008, the Trust had a capital loss carryforward of $231,744
     which will expire in 2016, if not utilized.

     The tax character of current year distributions paid to shareowners will be
     determined at the end of the fiscal year. Distributions paid during the
     period ended April 30, 2008 was as follows:



                                                                            2008
                                                                  
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income                                                      $14,530,763
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Total                                                              $14,530,763
================================================================================


     The following shows the components of distributable earnings on a federal
     income tax basis at April 30, 2008.



                                  
Undistributed ordinary income                                      $   2,237,614
Capital loss carryforward                                               (231,744)
Post-October loss deferred                                            (1,725,324)
Dividend payable                                                      (1,614,529)
Unrealized depreciation                                              (13,424,632)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Total                                                            $ (14,758,615)
================================================================================


     The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized depreciation is
     primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the
     realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive
     foreign investment companies, the realization for tax purposes of
     unrealized gains on certain foreign currency contracts, the book/tax
     differences in the accrual of income on securities in default, the
     difference between book and tax amortization methods for premiums and
     discounts on fixed income securities and other book/tax temporary
     differences.

E.   Repurchase Agreements

     With respect to repurchase agreements entered into by the Trust, the value
     of the underlying securities (collateral), including accrued interest
     received from counterparties, is required to be at least equal to or in
     excess of the value of the repurchase agreement at the time of purchase.
     The collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in safekeeping in the
     customer-only


      Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust | Semiannual Report | 10/31/08    43


     account of the Trust's custodian, or subcustodians. PIM is responsible for
     determining that the value of the collateral remains at least equal to the
     repurchase price.

F.   Securities Lending

     The Trust lends securities in its portfolio to certain broker-dealers or
     other institutional investors, with the Trust's custodian acting as the
     lending agent. When entering into a loan, the Trust receives collateral
     which is maintained by the custodian and earns income in the form of
     negotiated lenders' fees. The Trust also continues to receive interest or
     payments in lieu of dividends on the securities loaned. Gain or loss on the
     fair value of the loaned securities that may occur during the term of the
     loan will be for the account of the Trust. The loans are secured by
     collateral which is required to be at least 102%, at all times, of the fair
     value of the securities loaned. The amount of collateral is required to be
     adjusted daily to reflect any price fluctuation in the value of the loaned
     securities. The Trust has the right under the lending agreement to recover
     the securities from the borrower on demand. The Trust invests cash
     collateral in cash equivalent investments. Securities lending collateral is
     managed by Credit Suisse.

G.   Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan

     All common shareowners automatically participate in the Automatic Dividend
     Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan"), under which participants receive all
     dividends and capital gain distributions (collectively, "dividends") in
     full and fractional common shares of the Trust in lieu of cash. Shareowners
     may elect not to participate in the Plan. Shareowners not participating in
     the Plan receive all dividends and capital gain distributions in cash.
     Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or
     resumed at any time without penalty by notifying American Stock Transfer &
     Trust Company, the agent for shareowners in administering the Plan (the
     "Plan Agent"), in writing prior to any dividend record date; otherwise such
     termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any
     subsequently declared dividend or other distribution.

     Whenever the Trust declares a dividend on common shares payable in cash,
     participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common shares
     acquired by the Plan Agent either (i) through receipt of additional
     unissued but authorized common shares from the Trust or (ii) by purchase of
     outstanding common shares on the American Stock Exchange or elsewhere. If,
     on the payment date for any dividend, the net asset value per common share
     is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated
     brokerage trading fees ("market premium"), the Plan Agent will invest the
     dividend amount in newly issued common shares. The number of newly issued
     common shares to be credited to each account will be determined by dividing
     the dollar amount of the dividend by the net asset value per common share


44    Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust | Semiannual Report | 10/31/08


     on the date the shares are issued, provided that the maximum discount from
     the then current market price per share on the date of issuance does not
     exceed 5%. If, on the payment date for any dividend, the net asset value
     per common share is greater than the market value ("market discount"), the
     Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in common shares acquired in
     open-market purchases. There are no brokerage charges with respect to newly
     issued common shares. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share
     of brokerage trading fees incurred with respect to the Plan Agent's
     open-market purchases. Participating in the Plan does not relieve
     shareowners from any federal, state or local taxes which may be due on
     dividends paid in any taxable year. Shareowners holding Plan shares in a
     brokerage account may not be able to transfer the shares to another broker
     and continue to participate in the Plan.

2. Management Agreement

PIM manages the Trust's portfolio. Management fees payable under the Trust's
Advisory Agreement with PIM are calculated daily at the annual rate of 0.85% of
the Trust's average daily managed assets. "Managed assets" is the average daily
value of the Trust's total assets minus the sum of the Trust's liabilities,
which liabilities exclude debt related to leverage, short-term debt and the
aggregate liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred shares. For the
six months ended October 31, 2008, the net management fee was equivalent to
0.71% of the Trust's average daily managed assets, which was equivalent to
0.99% of the Trust's average daily net assets.

In addition, under PIM's management and administration agreements, certain
other services and costs are paid by PIM and reimbursed by the Trust. At
October 31, 2008, $123,649 was payable to PIM related to management costs,
administrative costs and certain other services and is in included in "Due to
affiliates" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

PIM has retained Princeton Administrators, LLC ("Princeton") to provide certain
administrative and accounting services to the Trust on its behalf. PIM pays
Princeton a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.07% of the average daily value
of the Trust's managed assets up to $500 million and 0.03% for average daily
managed assets in excess of $500 million, subject to a minimum monthly fee of
$10,000. Princeton receives no compensation directly from the Trust.

Effective October 1, 2008, PIM has entered into a Research Services Agreement
with Montpelier Capital Advisors, Ltd. ("Montpelier"). Under the research
services agreement, Montpelier will provide research services to PIM with
regard to event-linked bonds. PIM pays the Sub-adviser a flat fee of $325,000
annually. Prior to October 1, 2008, PIM had engaged Montpelier to act as the
Trust's investment sub-adviser with respect to the Trust's investments in
event-linked bonds. PIM paid Montpelier a monthly fee at an annual rate of
0.80% of the average daily value of the Trust's Sub-advised assets; provided,
however,


      Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust | Semiannual Report | 10/31/08    45


that such fee shall in no event be less than 0.15% of the Trust's average daily
managed assets. The fee is paid quarterly in arrears. Montpelier receives no
compensation directly from the Trust.

Also, PIM has agreed for the first three years of the Trust's investment
operations to limit the Trust's total annual expenses excluding offering costs
for common shares, interest expense, the cost of defending or prosecuting any
claim or litigation to which the Trust is a party (together with any amount in
judgment or settlement), indemnification expense or taxes incurred due to the
failure of the Trust to qualify as a regulated investment company under the
Code or any other non-recurring or non-operating expenses to 0.90% of the
Trust's average daily managed assets in year 1, 0.95% of the Trust's average
daily managed assets in year 2 and 1.00% of the Trust's average daily managed
assets in year 3. This is a contractual limit and may not be terminated by the
adviser for three years. There can be no assurance that it will be continued
after that time. For the six months ended October 31, 2008, the expense
reduction under such arrangements was $160,405.

3. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Trust may enter into contracts that obligate the Trust to deliver
currencies at specified future dates. At the maturity of a contract, the Trust
must make delivery of the specific currency. Alternatively, prior to the
settlement date for these hedges, the Trust may close out such contracts by
entering into offsetting hedge contracts.

Open portfolio hedge at October 31, 2008 was as follows:



              Net                                                                    Net
              Contracts        In Exchange       Settlement                          Unrealized
Currency      to (Deliver)     For US$           Date             US$ Value          Loss
                                                                      
EURO          (3,340,000)      $(4,173,163)      11/28/08         $ (4,229,932)      $ (56,769)
================================================================================================


At October 31, 2008, the Trust had no outstanding forward currency settlement
hedges.

4. Unfunded Loan Commitments

As of October 31, 2008, the Trust had unfunded loan commitments of $582,404
which could be extended at the option of the borrower, pursuant to the
following loan agreements:



                                                                   Unfunded Loan

5. Loan Agreement

Effective February 8, 2008, the Trust entered into a $90,000,000 Revolving
Credit Facility (the "Credit Agreement") with the Bank of Nova Scotia.

At October 31, 2008, the Trust had a borrowing outstanding under the Credit
Agreement totaling $53,000,000. The interest rate charged at October 31, 2008
was 5.1375%. The average daily balance was $66,027,174 at a weighted average
interest rate of 3.21%. With respect to the loan, interest expense of
$1,084,255 is included in the Statement of Operations.

The Trust is required to maintain 300% asset coverage with respect to amounts
outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Asset coverage is calculated by
subtracting the Trust's total liabilities, not including any bank loans and
senior securities, from the Trust's total assets and dividing such amount by
the principal amount of the borrowings outstanding. As of the date indicated
below, the Trust's debt outstanding and asset coverage was as follows:



                                 Total                            Asset coverage

6. Transfer Agents

Pioneer Investment Management Shareholder Services, Inc. ("PIMSS"), a wholly
owned indirect subsidiary of UniCredit, through a sub-transfer agency agreement
with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, provides substantially all
transfer agent and shareowner services related to the Trust's common shares at
negotiated rates.

8. New Pronouncement

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 161"), was issued
and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161
requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging
activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS

 PIONEER FUNDS
            APPROVAL OF AUDIT, AUDIT-RELATED, TAX AND OTHER SERVICES
                       PROVIDED BY THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

                  SECTION I - POLICY PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY

The Pioneer Funds recognize the importance of maintaining the independence of
their outside auditors. Maintaining independence is a shared responsibility
involving Pioneer Investment Management, Inc ("PIM"), the audit committee and
the independent auditors.

The Funds recognize that a Fund's independent auditors: 1) possess knowledge of
the Funds, 2) are able to incorporate certain services into the scope of the
audit, thereby avoiding redundant work, cost and disruption of Fund personnel
and processes, and 3) have expertise that has value to the Funds. As a result,
there are situations where it is desirable to use the Fund's independent
auditors for services in addition to the annual audit and where the potential
for conflicts of interests are minimal. Consequently, this policy, which is
intended to comply with Rule 210.2-01(C)(7), sets forth guidelines and
procedures to be followed by the Funds when retaining the independent audit firm
to perform audit, audit-related tax and other services under those
circumstances, while also maintaining independence.

Approval of a service in accordance with this policy for a Fund shall also
constitute approval for any other Fund whose pre-approval is required pursuant
to Rule 210.2-01(c)(7)(ii).

In addition to the procedures set forth in this policy, any non-audit services
that may be provided consistently with Rule 210.2-01 may be approved by the
Audit Committee itself and any pre-approval that may be waived in accordance
with Rule 210.2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) is hereby waived.

Selection of a Fund's independent auditors and their compensation shall be
determined by the Audit Committee and shall not be subject to this policy.
