Letter from the President

Dear Shareholder:

The US economy continued to expand during the 12-month fiscal reporting period ended January 31, 2017, but the overall pace was far from robust. Economic activity overseas remained generally tepid. Against this backdrop, US equities generated strong results, but international equities generated mixed results. In addition, the US bond market posted a modest return during the 12-month period.

For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2017

¡ AllianzGI Diversified Income & Convertible Fund returned 26.01% on net asset value (“NAV”) and 32.56% on market price.

¡ AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund returned 16.35% on NAV and 21.69% on market price.

¡ AllianzGI NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund returned 17.62% on NAV and 24.60% on market price.

Thomas J. Fuccillo

President & Chief
Executive Officer

During the 12-month period ended January 31, 2017, the Russell 3000 Index, a broad measure of US stock market performance, gained 21.73%; the Russell 1000 Value Index, a measure of large-cap value-style stocks, rose 24.62%; and the Russell 1000 Growth Index, a measure of growth-style stocks, gained 17.23%. Convertible securities, as reflected by the BofA Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Index, returned 20.82%.

Turning to the US economy, gross domestic product (“GDP”), the value of goods and services produced in the country, which is the broadest measure of economic activity and the principal indicator of economic performance, expanded at a 0.9% annualized pace during the first quarter of 2016. After ticking down to 0.8% in the second quarter, GDP grew at a 3.5% annualized pace during the third quarter. This represented the strongest expansion in two years. The Commerce Department’s second estimate showed that GDP grew at an annualized pace of 1.9% for the fourth quarter of 2016.

The US Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raised interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade at its meeting in December 2015. More specifically, the Fed increased the federal funds rate from a range between 0% and 0.25% to a range between 0.25% and 0.50%. After remaining on hold at its first seven meetings in 2016, the Fed again raised interest rates in December 2016 to a range between 0.50% and 0.75%. In the statement following the December meeting the Fed said, “The Committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the federal funds rate; the federal funds rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run. However, the actual path of the federal funds rate will depend on the economic outlook as informed by incoming data.”

Outlook

Looking ahead, we believe investors should expect muted growth as the US enters its late-cycle period, Japan struggles with its aging population and Europe suffers from the uncertainties related to the approval by citizens of the United Kingdom, in June 2016, of a referendum to leave the European Union (“Brexit”). In our view, the US and European Union should ultimately avoid recessions, but remain mired in a relatively weak economic expansion. We expect the Fed to modestly increase rates in 2017, prompting central banks in emerging markets to lower their rates as inflation falls. Elsewhere, we expect the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan should maintain their accommodative monetary policies. We have passed peak global liquidity as central banks have pushed past negative interest rate policies to begin supporting government spending.

The tides of deregulation continued shifting in 2016, and nationalism and populism gained ground. Given the results from the November elections in the US and significant elections looming in Europe in 2017, politics should remain a key investment consideration. We also feel that monetary policy will become more political. As to where governments will spend the money their central banks print, we believe domestic infrastructure and defense spending will be the focus of many countries in the coming years.

Against this backdrop, we believe markets are increasingly susceptible to volatility as politics, geopolitics, divergent monetary policies and internal market structures all converge and evolve. We believe that navigating this sea of uncertainty requires a clear direction and an active management approach, with investors staying agile in their asset allocations, confident in their processes and thorough in their research.

Together with, Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC, the Funds’ investment manager, and NFJ Investment Group LLC, the sub-adviser to the AllianzGI NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund, we thank you for investing with us.

We remain dedicated to serving your investment needs.

Fund Insights

AllianzGI Diversified Income & Convertible Fund/AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund/AllianzGI NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund

January 31, 2017 (unaudited)

AllianzGI Diversified Income & Convertible Fund

For the period of February 1, 2016 through January 31, 2017, as provided by Doug Forsyth, CFA, Portfolio Manager.

For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2017, the AllianzGI Diversified Income & Convertible Fund (the “Fund”) returned 26.01% on NAV and 32.56% on market price.

During the reporting period, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, a measure of growth style stocks, advanced 17.23%; and convertible securities, as reflected by the BofA Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Index, returned 20.82%.

Market Environment

Several factors influenced large-cap equities, convertibles and high-yield bonds throughout the period, including constructive economic trends, corporate health, the Treasury market and the Fed, US elections, risk appetite and commodity price strength.

In the US, economic reports were largely positive, signaling ongoing economic growth and supporting the market’s advance. Jobless claims remained subdued and the unemployment rate fell to a nine-year low. Housing prices continued to ascend, and in December, consumer confidence hit its highest level in more than 15 years. Overall, the trend in economic data reinforced the favorable market conditions for all three asset classes.

Operating performance for most equity, convertible and high-yield issuers met or exceeded expectations and credit metrics showed further improvement. According to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, net leverage ticked lower for a second consecutive quarter and interest coverage rose quarter over quarter. Furthermore, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EDITDA”), far exceeded the gains reported in the second quarter, spiking dramatically (on a year-over-year percentage basis) in the third quarter. These statistics provided additional proof of the underlying fundamental strength of the convertible and high-yield bond markets as well as the large-cap equity space.

In addition to strong absolute returns, equities, convertible and high-yield bonds provided substantial diversification benefits, significantly outperforming core fixed income and US Treasuries. Additionally, the high-yield market responded positively to the Fed’s rate decision and commentary. On balance, a cautious Fed and a highly accommodative environment outside the US helped support the performance of risk assets over the period.

sentiment, and without hesitation, investors anticipated a more favorable corporate earnings backdrop, predicated on positive tax reforms, decreased regulation, increased fiscal spending and less congressional gridlock. The Fund was a natural beneficiary of the increased appetite for risk, and this investor behavior was evident among the sub-asset class categories as well.

After bottoming in February, energy and base-metal prices stabilized, traded range-bound and then strengthened into year-end. Crude oil benefited from an agreement by the Organization of the Petroleum Countries (“OPEC”) to cut oil production and pledges of support from non-OPEC producers. Copper and other base-metals ended the reporting period higher. A more favorable economic backdrop and a continual improvement in industry dynamics helped support the energy and the materials-related industries, which were the best performers of 2016, in part due to their oversold conditions exiting 2015.

The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (“VIX”) started the period spiking into the stock market’s 2016 lows in mid-February. It then moved lower with the recovery of equities before rising into the Brexit decision. After plummeting following the UK vote, volatility surged into the US elections. Following the elections, the VIX plunged into period-end.

Portfolio Specifics

The Fund was a natural beneficiary of the increased appetite for risk, both pre- and post-election, and was able to share in the strong capital appreciation across the three asset classes that compose the portfolio. In addition to providing a strong total return, the Fund also provided a high level of income over the reporting period.

In the equity sleeve, industrials, real estate and financials helped relative performance. Conversely, the consumer staples, energy and telecommunication services sectors hindered relative performance.

In the convertible sleeve, sectors that contributed positively to relative performance were financials, energy and consumer staples. On the other hand, technology, health care and industrials pressured relative performance.

In the high yield sleeve, industries that aided relative performance were diversified financial services, banking and utilities. In contrast, metals/mining ex steel, theaters and entertainment and energy hampered relative performance.

The covered call strategy captured fewer gains than anticipated. The covered calls did provide some capital gains for the portfolio, but with the depressed implied volatilities, the magnitude of the premiums faced headwinds.

Fund Insights

January 31, 2017 (unaudited) (continued)

Outlook

Equity markets finished the year near all-time highs with volatility near all-time lows. In addition, interest rates moved higher on an improving economic outlook. Historically, these factors have been positive indicators for both economic and corporate earnings growth and supportive of investments in risk assets.

Stress in select industries has waned, and overall, balance sheets, leverage ratios and interest coverage ratios continue to support an investment in the high-yield and convertible asset classes.

The US economy is expected to expand at a moderate pace in 2017 and the equity market performance along with the steepness of the Treasury yield curve confirms this notion. Moreover, we believe that the President’s agenda should result in even stronger economic growth.

Regarding corporate health, profits are poised to trend higher in 2017 after accelerating into year-end. Additionally, the new administration’s policies could create the most favorable backdrop for corporate earnings in years.

US monetary policy continues to be modestly accommodative with the Fed expected to take a gradual approach toward adjustments. Until the Fed either moves aggressively or is well into the tightening cycle, monetary policy should not be expected to drive an extended sell-off and spread-widening in high-yield and convertibles.

For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2017, the AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund (the “Fund”) returned 16.35% on NAV and 21.69% on market price.

Market Environment

Several factors influenced large-cap equities and convertibles throughout the reporting period, including constructive economic trends, corporate health, the Treasury market and the Fed, US elections, risk appetite and commodity price strength.

As widely expected, in December 2016, the Fed raised interest rates by 25 basis points to a range of 0.50% to 0.75%, citing a stronger economy and rising employment. This was the first increase in US interest rates since December 2015. At the outset of the reporting period, capital markets were facing a year of

heightened political risk. Despite US equities suffering the worst start to a calendar year in decades, investors were able to shrug off volatility and major US stock market indices, including the S&P 500, Dow Jones and NASDAQ, all rose to record highs towards the end of the period.

Operating performance for most equity and convertible issuers met or exceeded expectations and credit metrics showed further improvement. These developments provided additional proof of the underlying fundamental strength of the convertible market as well as the large-cap equity space.

In addition to strong absolute returns, equities and convertibles provided substantial diversification benefits, significantly outperforming core fixed income and US Treasuries. On balance, a cautious Fed and a highly accommodative environment outside the US helped support the performance of risk assets over the period.

The unexpected election of Donald Trump as the US president triggered a rotation into risk assets, with investors fleeing safe-haven investments. Despite an initial negative reaction, the market rallied into year-end. It appeared that the then president-elect’s pro-growth agenda caused an abrupt shift in sentiment, and without hesitation, investors anticipated a more favorable corporate earnings backdrop, predicated on positive tax reforms, decreased regulation, increased fiscal spending and less congressional gridlock.

volatility surged into the US elections. Following the elections, the VIX plunged into period-end.

During the latter half of the reporting period, the richly valued defensive stocks that tend to do well in times of economic uncertainty, reversed course and lagged in the second half of the reporting period. The laggards-to-leaders trend helped drive the emergence of value stocks during the reporting period after years of playing runner-up to growth. Helping to drive the Russell 1000 Value index’s performance was the cyclical turnaround of traditional value-oriented sectors such as energy, materials and financials, all of which were among top performers for most of 2016.

Portfolio Specifics

The Fund was a natural beneficiary of the increased appetite for risk, both pre- and post-election, and was able to share in the strong capital appreciation across the two asset classes that compose the portfolio. In addition to providing a strong total return, the Fund also provided a high level of income over the reporting period.

In the equity sleeve, information technology, industrials and real estate helped relative performance. Conversely, the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and telecommunication services sectors hindered relative performance.

In the convertible sleeve, sectors that contributed positively to relative performance were energy, materials and financials. On the other hand, technology, consumer discretionary and telecom pressured relative performance.

For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2017, the AllianzGI NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) returned 17.62% on NAV and 24.60% on market price.

A more favorable economic backdrop and a continual improvement in industry dynamics helped support the energy and the materials-related industries, which were the best performers of 2016, in part due to their oversold conditions exiting 2015.

Throughout the last few years, compression in longer-term treasury bonds has given way to higher valuation premiums in bond-proxies areas, like Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), utilities and consumer staples. During the latter half of the reporting period, those richly valued defensive stocks that tend to do well in times of economic uncertainty, reversed course and lagged. The laggards-to-leaders trend helped drive the emergence of value stocks during the reporting period after years of playing runner-up to growth.

Portfolio Specifics

In the equity sleeve negative stock selection, partially offset by positive sector allocation, detracted from relative returns during the trailing reporting period. Selection was strong across the industrials holdings which outpaced benchmark shares. However, that positive impact was overwhelmed by poor selection in the financials and energy sectors. Overweight positions in the telecommunications and consumer discretionary sectors dampened performance over the reporting period. Conversely, an overweight in materials and underweight in consumer staples aided relative results.

In the convertibles sleeve, sector allocations that helped relative performance in the period were energy, financials and consumer discretionary. In contrast, technology, telecommunications and healthcare exposure weighed on relative returns.

In the equity options sleeve, retaining call premiums proved difficult during the reporting period. The broad market remained at elevated levels to start the period, and then soared after the victory by Donald Trump in the US Presidential election. The charge higher was shouldered by the financial and technology sectors returning 22.5% and 10.5%, respectively, while the industrial, energy and material sectors also contributed with high single digit returns. Levels of implied volatility, as measured by the VIX, dropped to a low of 10.6 and only averaged a level of 13.4 during the period, adversely affecting the strike distances on the call options written. The overall strong performance in equities resulted in many of our option positions expiring in-the-money, requiring cash assignments in excess of the premium collected.

Outlook

Stress in select industries of the market has waned, and overall, balance sheets, leverage ratios and interest coverage ratios continue to support an investment in the convertible asset class.

(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by determining the percentage change in NAV or market price (as applicable) in the specified period. The calculation assumes that all dividends and distributions, if any, have been reinvested. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares and includes the effect of any expense reductions, if any. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return.

Performance at market price will differ from results at NAV. Although market price returns typically reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as changing views about the Fund, market conditions, supply and demand for the Fund’s shares, or changes in the Fund’s dividends.

An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, market price, market price yield and NAV will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information purposes only and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are traded in the open market through a stock exchange. NAV is equal to total assets attributable to common shareholders less total liabilities divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily.

(2) The NAV disclosed in the Fund’s financial statements may differ due to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(3) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current (declared February 1, 2017) monthly dividend per common share (comprised of net investment income and net capital gains, if any) by the market price per common share at January 31, 2017.

(4) Represents Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares, Senior Secured Notes and amounts drawn under the short-term margin loan facility (“Leverage”) outstanding, as a percentage of total managed assets. Total managed assets refer to total assets (including assets attributable to Leverage) minus liabilities (other than liabilities representing Leverage).

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

AllianzGI Diversified Income & Convertible Fund (“Diversified Income & Convertible”), AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund (“Equity & Convertible Income”) and AllianzGI NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund (“Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy”) (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on March 10, 2015, December 12, 2006 and August 20, 2003, respectively. The Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. Prior to commencing operations on May 27, 2015, February 27, 2007, and February 28, 2005, respectively, the Funds had no operations other than matters relating to their organization and registration as diversified, closed-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder and the sale and issuance of 4,189 shares at an aggregate price of $100,012 for Diversified Income & Convertible to Allianz Asset Management of America L.P. (“AAM”). Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AllianzGI U.S.” or the “Investment Manager”), serves as the Funds’ investment manager. During a portion of the reporting period, Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (“AGIFM”), AllianzGI U.S. and NFJ Investment Group LLC (“NFJ” or the “Sub-Adviser”) served as the Funds’ investment manager and sub-advisers, respectively. On October 1, 2016, AGIFM merged with and into AllianzGI U.S. (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, AllianzGI U.S. assumed the services and responsibilities previously provided by AGIFM as investment manager of the Funds. Diversified Income & Convertible and Equity & Convertible Income ceased to have a sub-adviser. NFJ, an affiliate of the Investment Manager, continues to serve as a Sub-Adviser to Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy. AllianzGI U.S. and NFJ are, and AGIFM was, prior to the Merger, indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of AAM. AAM is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly-traded European insurance and financial services company. Each Fund has authorized an unlimited amount of common shares with $0.00001 par value.

Diversified Income & Convertible’s investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation, while seeking to provide downside protection against capital loss. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of convertible securities, debt and other income-producing instruments and common stocks and other equity securities. The Fund expects to employ a strategy of writing (selling) covered call options on the stocks held in the equity portion of the portfolio.

Equity & Convertible Income’s investment objective is to seek total return comprised of capital appreciation, current income and gains.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Under normal market conditions the Fund pursues its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities and income-producing convertible securities. The Fund will also employ a strategy of writing (selling) call options on the equity securities held by the Fund as well as on equity indexes.

Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy’s primary investment objective is to seek current income and gains, with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions the Fund pursues its investment objectives by investing in a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying common stocks and income-producing convertible securities. The Fund will also employ a strategy of writing (selling) call options on equity indexes in an attempt to generate gains from option premiums.

Diversified Income & Convertible issued 11,200,000 shares of common stock in its initial public offering. An additional 90,000 shares were issued in connection with the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. These shares were all issued at $25.00 per share. A sales load of $1.125 per share was deducted from gross offering proceeds. Offering costs of $564,500 (representing $0.05 per share) were also deducted from gross proceeds of the offering and have been charged to paid-in capital in excess of par. The Investment Manager paid all offering costs associated with the initial public offering (other than the sales load) exceeding $0.05 per share, which came to approximately $890,000. In addition, the underwriters commission and offering costs have been charged to paid-in-capital in excess of par.

There can be no assurance that the Funds will meet their stated objectives.

The preparation of the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires the Funds’ management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in each Fund’s financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter 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 Funds that have not yet occurred.

In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The amendments to Regulation S-X take effect on August 1, 2017. At this time, management is assessing the

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

anticipated impact of these regulatory developments.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:

(a) Valuation of Investments

Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of 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 Boards of Trustees of each Fund (together, the “Board”) have adopted procedures for valuing portfolio securities and other financial instruments in circumstances where market quotations are not readily available (including in cases where available market quotations are deemed to be unreliable), and have delegated primary responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the Investment Manager. The Funds’ Valuation Committee of the Board of each Fund 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 Investment Manager monitors the continued appropriateness of methods applied and identifies, in consultation with the Sub-Adviser, where applicable, circumstances and events that may require fair valuation. The Investment Manager, in turn, determines if adjustments should be made in light of market changes, events affecting the issuer, or other factors. If the Investment Manager (in consultation with the Sub-Adviser, where applicable) 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.

Short-term debt instruments 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 premiums or discounts 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 Funds to value investments may differ from the value that would be realized if the investments were sold, and these differences could be material to the Funds’ financial statements. Each Fund’s net

AllianzGI Diversified Income & Convertible Fund

AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund

AllianzGI NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund

January 31, 2017

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

asset value (“NAV”) is normally determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on each day the NYSE is open for business.

(b) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

n Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Funds have the ability to access

n 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

n Level 3 – valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Investment Manager’s, Sub-Adviser’s or Valuation Committee’s own assumptions and securities whose price was determined by using a single broker’s quote)

The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the year ended January 31, 2017 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 asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation 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 Funds generally use to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities for Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock and Warrants) – 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

January 31, 2017

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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 & Notes – Convertible 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 & Notes – Corporate bonds & notes are generally comprised of two main categories: investment grade bonds and high yield bonds. Investment grade bonds are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, live trading levels, recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, and 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 executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of corporate bonds & notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

Option Contracts – Option contracts traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) and FLexible EXchange (“FLEX”) options are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that incorporate various inputs such as interest rates, credit spreads, currency exchange rates and volatility measurements for in-the-money, at-the-money, and out-of-the-money contracts based on a given strike price. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of OTC and FLEX option contracts are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

premium is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized, respectively, to interest income. Conversion premium is not amortized. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, and then are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as the Fund, using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of such dividends. Payments received on synthetic convertible securities are generally included in dividends. Facility fees and other fees (such as origination fees) received on settlement date are amortized as income over the expected term of the senior loan. Consent fees relating to corporate actions and facility fees and other fees received after settlement date relating to senior loans and commitment fees received relating to unfunded purchase commitments are recorded as miscellaneous income upon receipt Payments received from certain investments may be comprised of dividends, realized gains and return of capital. These payments may initially be recorded as dividend income and may subsequently be reclassified as realized gains and/or return of capital upon receipt of information from the issuer. Payments considered return of capital reduce the cost basis of the respective security. Distributions, if any, in excess of the cost basis of a security are recognized as capital gains. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

(d) Federal Income Taxes

The Funds intend to distribute all of their taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of Subchapter M 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. The Funds may be subject to excise tax based on distributions to shareholders.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. In accordance with provisions set forth under U.S. GAAP, the Investment Manager has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years. As of January 31, 2017, the Funds have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three years, as applicable, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

(e) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Diversified Income & Convertible declares dividends and distributions on a monthly basis. Equity & Convertible Income and Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy declare dividends and distributions on a quarterly basis. These dividends and distributions may be comprised in varying proportions of net investment

Notes to Financial Statements

AllianzGI Diversified Income & Convertible Fund

AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund

AllianzGI NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund

January 31, 2017

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

income, gains from option premiums and the sale of portfolio securities and return of capital. The Funds record dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains or return of capital is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. 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 to shareholders from return of capital.

(f) Convertible Securities

It is the Funds’ policy to invest a portion of their assets in convertible securities. Although convertible securities derive part of their value from that of the securities into which they are convertible, they are not considered derivative financial instruments. However, certain of the Funds’ investments in convertible securities include features which render them sensitive to price changes in their underlying securities. The value of structured/synthetic convertible securities can be affected by interest rate changes and credit risks of the issuer. Such securities may be structured in ways that limit their potential for capital appreciation and the entire value of the security may be at risk of loss depending on the performance of the underlying equity security. Consequently, the Funds are exposed to greater downside risk than traditional convertible securities, but typically still less than that of the underlying stock.

(g) Senior Loans

The Funds 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 for a lending syndicate of financial institutions (the “Lender”). When purchasing an assignment, the Funds succeed 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. The Funds may also enter into lending arrangements involving unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments may include revolving credit facilities, which may obligate the Funds to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the principal amounts will never be utilized by the borrower.

The Funds may purchase the securities of distressed companies (including assignments

or direct investments), including companies engaged in restructurings or bankruptcy proceedings. Investments in distressed companies may include senior obligations of an issuer issued in connection with a restructuring under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (commonly known as “debtor-in-possession” or “DIP” financings). Debtor-in-possession financings generally allow the issuer to continue its operations while reorganizing. Such financings constitute senior liens on unencumbered collateral (i.e., collateral not subject to other creditors’ claims). There is risk that the issuer under a debtor-in-possession financing will not emerge from Chapter 11 and be forced to liquidate its assets under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In the event of liquidation, the Funds’ only recourse would be against the collateral securing the debtor-in possession financing.

(h) Payment In-Kind Securities

The Funds may invest in payment in-kind securities, which are debt or preferred stock securities that require or permit payment of interest in the form of additional securities. Payment in-kind securities allow the issuer to avoid or delay the need to generate cash to meet current interest payments and, as a result, may involve greater risk than securities that pay interest currently or in cash.

(i) Warrants

The Funds may receive warrants. Warrants are securities that are usually issued together with a debt security or preferred stock and that give the holder the right to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specified price. Warrants are freely transferable and are often traded on major exchanges. Warrants normally have a life that is measured in years and entitle the holder to buy common stock of a company at a price that is usually higher than the market price at the time the warrant is issued. Warrants may entail greater risks than certain other types of investments. Generally, warrants do not carry the right to receive dividends or exercise voting rights with respect to the underlying securities, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. In addition, their value does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities, and they cease to have value if they are not exercised on or before their expiration date. If the market price of the underlying stock does not exceed the exercise price during the life of the warrant, the warrant will expire worthless. Warrants may increase the potential profit or loss to be realized from the investment as compared with investing the same amount in the underlying securities. Similarly, the percentage increase or decrease in the value of an equity security warrant may be greater than the percentage increase or decrease in the value of the underlying common stock. Warrants may relate to the purchase of equity or debt securities. Debt obligations with warrants attached to purchase equity securities have many characteristics of convertible securities and their prices may, to some degree, reflect the performance of the underlying stock. Debt obligations also may be issued with warrants attached to purchase additional debt securities

at the same coupon rate. A decline in interest rates would permit the Funds to sell such warrants at a profit. If interest rates rise, these warrants would generally expire with no value.

(j) Statement of Cash Flows

U.S. GAAP requires entities providing financial statements that report both financial position and results of operations to also provide a statement of cash flows for each period for which results of operations are provided, but exempts investment companies meeting certain conditions. One of the conditions is that the fund had little or no debt, based on the average debt outstanding during the period, in relation to average total assets. Diversified Income & Convertible’s indebtedness has been determined to be at a level requiring a statement of cash flows. The Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared using the indirect method which requires net change in net assets resulting from operations to be adjusted to reconcile to net cash flows from operating activities.

(k) Loan Interest Expense

Loan Interest expense relates to the Diversified Income & Convertible’s participation in debt financing transactions (See Note 7 and Note 8). Interest expense is recorded as it is incurred.

(l) Short Sales

Short sale transactions involve the Funds selling securities they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Funds are obligated to deliver securities at the market price at the time the short position is closed. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested. There were no open short sales at January 31, 2017.

2. Principal Risks

In the normal course of business, the Funds trade 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 (counterparty risk). The Funds also are exposed to other risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and leverage risks.

Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities’ valuations will change because of changes in interest rates. During periods of rising nominal interest rates, the values of fixed income instruments are generally expected to decline. Conversely, during periods of declining nominal interest rates, the values of fixed income instruments are generally expected to rise. To the extent that a Fund effectively has short positions with respect to fixed income instruments, the values of such short positions would generally be expected to rise when nominal interest rates rise and to decline when nominal interest rates decline. 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

2. Principal Risks (continued)

security’s market price to interest rate (i.e., yield) movements. Interest rate changes can be sudden and unpredictable, and a Fund may lose money as a result of movements in interest rates. A Fund may not be able to hedge against changes in interest rates or may choose not to do so for cost or other reasons. In addition, any hedges may not work as intended. The values of equity and other non-fixed income securities may decline due to fluctuations in interest rates.

The Funds are exposed to credit risk, which is the risk of losing money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings.

The market values of securities may decline due to general market conditions (market risk) which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, adverse changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, adverse changes to credit markets or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity-related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities, although under certain market conditions fixed income securities may have comparable or greater price volatility. Credit ratings downgrades may also negatively affect securities held by a Fund. Even when markets perform well, there is no assurance that the investments held by a Fund will increase in value along with the broader market. In addition, market risk includes the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the economy on a national or global level.

The Funds are exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss to the Funds could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the Funds’ financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Investment Manager or Sub-Adviser, where applicable, seeks to minimize the Funds’ counterparty risk by performing reviews of each counterparty and by minimizing concentration of counterparty risk by undertaking transactions with multiple customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges. Delivery of securities sold is only made once the Funds have received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.

The Funds are exposed to risks associated with leverage. Leverage may cause the value of the Funds’ shares to be more volatile than if the

2. Principal Risks (continued)

Funds did not use leverage. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Funds’ portfolio securities. The Funds may engage in transactions or purchase instruments that give rise to forms of leverage. In addition, to the extent the Funds employ leverage, dividend and interest costs may not be recovered by any appreciation of the securities purchased with the leverage proceeds and could exceed the Funds’ investment returns, resulting in greater losses. As discussed further in Note 7 and Note 8, Diversified Income & Convertible has mandatory redeemable preferred shares and senior secured notes outstanding and entered into margin loan financing.

The Funds may hold defaulted securities that may involve special considerations including bankruptcy proceedings, other regulatory and legal restrictions affecting the Funds’ ability to trade, and the availability of prices from independent pricing services or dealer quotations. Defaulted securities may also be illiquid and may not be actively traded. Sale of securities in bankrupt companies at an acceptable price may be difficult and differences compared to the value of securities used by the Funds could be material. A Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek recovery upon a portfolio security’s default in the payment of principal or interest. In any bankruptcy proceeding relating to a defaulted investment, a Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash or securities with a value substantially less than its original investment.

Diversified Income & Convertible will terminate on the first business day following the fifteenth anniversary of the effective date of its registration statement, May 22, 2030, unless such term is extended by the Trustees and absent Trustee and shareholder approval to amend the limited term. Leading up to the Fund’s dissolution date, the Fund may begin liquidating all or a portion of the Fund’s portfolio, and the Fund may deviate from its investment strategy. As a result, during the wind-down period, the Fund’s distributions may decrease, and such distributions may include a return of capital. The Fund does not seek to return $25.00 per common share (its initial offering price) upon termination. As the assets of the Fund will be liquidated in connection with its termination, the Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities when it otherwise would not, including at times when market conditions are not favorable, which may cause the Fund to lose money.

There can be no assurance that repurchases of common shares by Diversified Income & Convertible pursuant to its Repurchase Plan (as defined in Note 9) caused the common shares to trade at a price equal to or in excess of NAV or prevented or reduced any decline in the market price of the common shares. Any acquisition of common shares by the Fund decreased the managed assets of the Fund and therefore tended to have the effect of increasing the Fund’s gross expense ratio and decreasing the asset coverage with respect to any leverage outstanding. Because of the nature of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and portfolio, the Investment Manager does not believe that repurchases of common

2. Principal Risks (continued)

shares interfered with the ability of the Fund to manage its investments in order to seek its investment objective, and does not believe any material difficulty in borrowing money or disposing of portfolio securities to consummate repurchases, although no assurance can be given that this was the case. The Fund’s repurchase of shares under the Repurchase Plan was subject to certain conditions under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other applicable laws, including Regulation M, which may have prohibited such repurchases under certain circumstances.

3. Financial Derivative Instruments

Disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities requires qualitative disclosure regarding objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosure about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivatives, and disclosure about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements distinguish between derivatives which are accounted for as “hedges,” and those that do not qualify for such accounting. Although the Funds at times use derivatives for hedging purposes, the Funds reflect derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Funds’ Statements of Operations, and such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Option Transactions

The Funds may write (sell) put and call options on securities and indices to earn premiums, for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or otherwise as part of their investment strategies. When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently marked to market to reflect the market value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as call options written in the Funds’ Statements 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 purchase transactions as a realized loss. If a call option written 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 Funds bear 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 Funds purchasing a security at a price different from its current market value.

There are several risks associated with transactions in options on securities. For example, there are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its objective. The Funds’ ability to use options successfully will

3. Financial Derivative Instruments (continued)

depend on the Investment Manager or Sub-Adviser’s ability to predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. As the writer of a covered call option, a Fund forgoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the call, but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline.

4. Investment Manager/Sub-Advisers & Deferred Compensation

Investment Manager/Sub-Advisers. Each Fund has an Investment Management Agreement (for the purposes of this section, each an “Agreement”) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board, 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 their Agreements, Diversified Income & Convertible and Equity & Convertible Income pay the Investment Manager an annual fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of their average daily total managed assets. Pursuant to its Agreement, Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy pays the Investment Manager an annual fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.90% of its average daily total managed assets. Diversified Income & Convertible’s Agreement defines total managed assets as the total assets of the Fund (including assets attributable to any Preferred Shares, borrowings, issued debt securities or other forms of leverage that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing leverage). The Agreements of each of Equity & Convertible Income and Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy define total managed assets as the total assets of each Fund (including assets attributable to any borrowings that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings).

Prior to the Merger, AGIFM retained AllianzGI U.S. as sub-adviser to each Fund, and also retained NFJ as sub-adviser to Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy, with respect to its equity sleeve only. From and after the Merger, AllianzGI U.S. has served as Investment Manager to each Fund, and has continued to retain NFJ as sub-adviser for the equity sleeve of Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy.

During the period, the Funds’ primary adviser (initially AGIFM and then AllianzGI U.S.), and not the Funds, paid advisory fees to the Funds’ sub-advisers.

Effective October 1, 2016, AGIFM merged with and into AllianzGI U.S. by means of a statutory merger, with AllianzGI U.S. succeeding by operation of law to the advisory business of AGIFM under the Investment Management Agreement with each Fund. The sub-advisory relationships between AGIFM and AllianzGI U.S. and between AGIFM and NFJ terminated upon consummation of the Merger. The Merger did not result in any change to the substantive terms of the Agreements, which continued in effect following the Merger with AllianzGI U.S. as a counterparty instead of AGIFM. The Merger

also did not result in any change to the manner in which investment advisory services are provided under the Agreements, the personnel responsible for providing investment advisory services to the Funds pursuant to the Agreements or the personnel ultimately responsible for overseeing the provision of such services.

Deferred Compensation. Trustees do not currently receive any pension or retirement benefits from the Funds. The Funds have adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) for the Trustees, which permits the Trustees to defer their receipt of compensation from the Funds, at their election, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Under the Plan, each Trustee may elect not to receive all or a portion of his or her fees from the Funds on a current basis but to receive in a subsequent period chosen by the Trustee an amount equal to the value of such compensation if such compensation had been invested in one or more series of Allianz Funds Multi- Strategy Trust or Allianz Funds, selected by the Trustees from and after the normal payment dates for such compensation. The deferred compensation program is structured such that the Funds remain in substantially the same financial position whether Trustee fees are paid when earned or deferred.

At January 31, 2017, the components of distributable earnings were as follows.

* Subject to limitations under IRC Sections 381-384 due to the merger with AllianzGI Global Equity & Convertible Income Fund (NGZ).

(2) Capital loss carryforwards available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of any future net realized gains. To the extent that these losses are used to offset future realized capital gains, such gains will not be disbursed.

(3) Capital losses realized during the period November 1, 2016 through January 31, 2017 which the Funds elected to defer to the following taxable year pursuant to income tax regulations.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result, preenactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term capital losses.

At January 31, 2017, capital loss carryforward amounts were:

	Year of Expiration	No Expiration (4)
	2018	Short-Term	Long-Term
Equity & Convertible Income	–	–	$18,448,804
Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy	$157,410,348	$11,969,549	45,645,512

For the year ended January 31, 2017, Equity & Convertible Income had a capital loss carryforward which was utilized:

	Post-Enactment Utilized
	Short-Term	Long-Term
Equity & Convertible Income	–	$1,718,715

For the year ended January 31, 2017, permanent “book tax” adjustments were:

Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy (a)(c)(d)	890,422	(890,422)	–

These permanent “book-tax” differences were primarily attributable to:

(a) Reclassification of contingent debt

(b) Reversal of non-deductible expenses

(d) Section 305 sales adjustment

(e) Reclassification of non-deductible expenses

(f) Reclassification of consent fee income

(g) Treatment of bond premium amortization

(h) Reclassification of gains and losses from foreign currency transactions

(i) Reversal of OID due to the merger with AllianzGI Global Equity & Convertible Income Fund (NGZ)

Net investment income, net realized gains or losses and net assets were not affected by these adjustments.

At January 31, 2017, the aggregate cost basis and the net unrealized appreciation/depreciation of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

	Federal Tax Cost Basis (5)	Unrealized Appreciation	Unrealized Deprecation	Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
Diversified Income & Convertible	$354,976,964	$3,861,579	$32,848,365	$(28,986,786	)

(5) Differences between book and tax cost basis are primarily attributable to the differing treatment of convertible securities, wash sale loss deferrals, Reclassifications in REITs and differing treatment of bond premium amortization.

7. Long-Term Financing Arrangements

On October 2, 2015, Diversified Income & Convertible completed a private placement with a single institutional investor, consisting of $30,000,000 in Series A Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares (“MRPS”) with a mandatory redemption date of October 2, 2025, and $50,000,000 in Senior Secured Notes (“Notes” and together with MRPS, “Long-Term Financing Arrangements”) due November 22, 2029. Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) assigned a rating of “AA” to the MRPS and “AAA” to the Notes. The Long-Term Financing Arrangements refinanced a portion of the Diversified Income & Convertible’s short-term borrowings under the Margin Loan Financing described in Note 8. Diversified Income & Convertible continues to maintain a short-term credit facility at variable interest rates for a portion of its borrowings.

Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares

At January 31, 2017, Diversified Income & Convertible had 1,200,000 shares of MRPS outstanding with an aggregate liquidation preference of $30,000,000 ($25.00 per share). The following table summarizes the key terms of the MRPS at January 31, 2017:

Mandatory Redemption Date		Annual Dividend Rate		Aggregate Liquidation Preference		Estimated Fair Value
October 2, 2025		4.34%		$30,000,000		$30,000,000

Holders of MRPS are entitled to receive a quarterly dividend at an annual fixed dividend rate of 4.34%, subject to upward adjustment (by as much as 4.00%) during any period when the MRPS have a rating of below “A” from Fitch, or the equivalent from another rating agency (with the rate increasing at lower rating levels). The MRPS will have a “default” interest rate of 5.00% whenever a past due amount is outstanding with respect to the MRPS. Dividends are accrued daily and paid quarterly and are presented in Diversified Income & Convertible’s Statement of Assets & Liabilities as dividends payable to mandatory redeemable preferred shareholders. For the year ended January 31, 2017, Diversified Income & Convertible paid $1,302,000 in interest on dividends to mandatory redeemable preferred shareholders. The MRPS are senior, with priority in all respects, to Diversified Income & Convertible’s outstanding common shares as to payments of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Fund. The MRPS rank pari passu with any and all other preferred shares of the Fund, and rank junior to the Fund’s indebtedness, including the Notes, the Margin Loan Financing and any other senior secured indebtedness. Diversified Income & Convertible may redeem all or any part of the MRPS at any time, subject to certain redemption premiums. Diversified Income & Convertible is subject to periodic asset coverage testing and must redeem some or all of the MRPS when its asset coverage declines below certain levels.

Senior Secured Notes

At January 31, 2017, Diversified Income & Convertible had $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding. The Notes rank pari passu with all other senior debt of Diversified Income & Convertible, including the Margin Loan Financing, and are secured by a lien on all assets of the Fund of every kind, including all securities and all other investment property, equal and ratable with the liens securing the Margin Loan Financing. The Notes are senior, with priority in all respects, to the MRPS and the outstanding common shares as to payments of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Fund. Holders of the Notes are entitled to receive cash interest payments semi-annually until maturity. The Notes accrue interest at an annual fixed rate of 3.94%. The Notes will be subject to a penalty interest rate of an additional 2.00% while overdue payments are outstanding, and an additional 1.00% during any interest rate period when the Notes, at any time, have a rating of less than “A-” from Fitch or the equivalent from another agency. The Notes are prepayable in whole or in part at any time, subject to a prepayment premium, which may be adjusted under some circumstances based on asset coverage levels. Interest expense of $1,982,406 is included in the Diversified Income & Convertible’s Statement of Operations.

The following table shows the maturity date, interest rate, notional/carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Notes outstanding at January 31, 2017:

Maturity Date		Interest Rate		Notional/Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
November 22, 2029		3.94%		$50,000,000		$50,000,000

The agreements governing the MRPS and Notes impose certain additional customary covenants and restrictions on the Fund, including, among others, asset coverage requirements, restrictions on distributions and a requirement that the Fund adhere to its stated investment policies.

8. Margin Loan Financing

Diversified Income & Convertible has entered into a margin loan financing agreement with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage International, Ltd. (“BNP”). The margin loan is offered at a daily rate equal to the U.S. 3-month LIBOR rate plus 0.90%. At January 31, 2017, the Fund had a borrowing outstanding under the margin agreement totaling $25,000,000. The interest rate charged at January 31, 2017 was 1.935%. During the year ended January 31, 2017, the weighted average daily balance was $25,000,000 at the weighted average interest rate of 1.68%. With respect to the margin agreement, loan interest expense of $428,252 is included in the Statement of Operations.

The Fund is required to fully collateralize its outstanding loan balance as determined by BNP. Pledged assets are held in a segregated account and are denoted in the Schedule of Investments.

9. Common Share Repurchase Plan

The common share repurchase plan (the “Repurchase Plan”) of Diversified Income & Convertible (for purposes of this paragraph, the “Fund”) became effective on September 4, 2015. The Board of Trustees initially authorized the Repurchase Plan at the Fund’s organizational meeting on April 20, 2015. The Repurchase Plan was intended in part to provide additional liquidity in the marketplace for the Fund’s common shares. The Repurchase Plan remained in effect until 230 days after the commencement of the Repurchase Plan (i.e., April 21, 2016) (the “Repurchase Period”), during which the Fund repurchased its common shares in the open market on any trading day when the Fund’s common shares were trading at a discount of 2% or more from the common shares’ closing NAV on the prior trading day and only so long as shares of the SPDR Barclays Convertible Securities ETF had not, at any time during such trading day, traded down 2% or more from their closing market price on the prior trading day. Any repurchases were made through a single broker-dealer who was not an underwriter in this initial public offering of the Fund’s common shares acting as the Fund’s agent. On any day that shares were repurchased under the Repurchase Plan, the Fund, subject to certain conditions under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act and other applicable laws, including Regulation M, repurchased its shares in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $125,000 based on the aggregate purchase price of the common shares or (ii) the maximum number of common shares the Fund may purchase under Rule 10b-18, which, generally, is currently 25% of the average daily trading volume of the common shares over the trailing four week period. In addition to providing potential additional liquidity in the marketplace, any repurchases under the Repurchase Plan were made by the Fund at a discount to then current NAV of the common shares and therefore were accretive to the NAV of the remaining common shares following the repurchases, and the Repurchase Plan may have had the effect of preventing or reducing a significant decline in the market price of the common shares in comparison to their NAV. Effective April 22, 2016, the Common Share Repurchase Plan was discontinued.

For the year ended January 31, 2017, the Fund repurchased 386,069 shares of its common stock on the open market, which represented approximately 4% of shares outstanding as of January 31, 2017 at a total cost, inclusive of commissions ($0.03 per share), of $6,509,184 at a per-share weighted average discount to NAV of 12.37%.

10. Subsequent Events

In preparing these financial statements, the Funds’ management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

Effective February 1, 2017, services related to custody and fund accounting for the Funds’ transitioned from Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. to State Street Bank and Trust Company.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (unaudited)

AllianzGI Diversified Income & Convertible Fund
AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund
AllianzGI NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund

Each Fund has adopted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) which allows common shareholders to reinvest Fund distributions in additional common shares of the Fund. American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the “Plan Agent”) serves as agent for common shareholders in administering the Plan. It is important to note that participation in the Plan and automatic reinvestment of Fund distributions does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect against losses in a declining market.

Automatic enrollment / voluntary participation. Under the Plan, common shareholders whose shares are registered with the Plan Agent (“registered shareholders”) are automatically enrolled as participants in the Plan and will have all Fund distributions of income, capital gains and returns of capital (together, “distributions”) reinvested by the Plan Agent in additional common shares of the Funds, unless the shareholder elects to receive cash. Registered shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholder of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, to the nominee) by the Plan Agent. Participation in the Plan is voluntary. Participants may terminate or resume their enrollment in the Plan at any time without penalty by notifying the Plan Agent online at www.amstock.com, by calling (800) 254-5197, by writing to the Plan Agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, at P.O. Box 922, Wall Street Station, New York, NY 10269-0560, or, as applicable, by completing and returning the transaction form attached to a Plan

statement. A proper notification will be effective immediately and apply to the Funds’ next distribution if received by the Plan Agent at least three (3) days prior to the record date for the distribution; otherwise, a notification will be effective shortly following the Funds’ next distribution and will apply to the Funds’ next succeeding distribution thereafter. If you withdraw from the Plan and so request, the Plan Agent will arrange for the sale of your shares and send you the proceeds, minus a transaction fee and brokerage commissions.

How shares are purchased under the Plan. For each Fund distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire common shares for participants either (i) through receipt of newly issued common shares from the Funds (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by purchasing common shares of the Funds on the open market (“open market purchases”). If, on a distribution payment date, the net asset value per common share of the Funds (“NAV”) is equal to or less than the market price per common share plus estimated brokerage commissions (often referred to as a “market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the distribution amount on behalf of participants in newly issued shares at a price equal to the greater of (i) NAV or (ii) 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date. If the NAV is greater than the market price per common share plus estimated brokerage commissions (often referred to as a “market discount”) on a distribution payment date, the Plan agent will instead attempt to invest the distribution amount through open market purchases. If the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full distribution amount in open market

86 Annual Report | January 31, 2017

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (unaudited) (continued)

AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund
AllianzGI NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund

purchases, or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Agent will invest any un-invested portion of the distribution in newly issued shares at a price equal to the greater of (i) NAV or (ii) 95% of the market price per share as of the last business day immediately prior to the purchase date (which, in either case, may be a price greater or lesser than the NAV per common share on the distribution payment date). No interest will be paid on distributions awaiting reinvestment. Under the Plan, the market price of common shares on a particular date is the last sales price on the exchange where the shares are listed on that date or, if there is no sale on the exchange on that date, the mean between the closing bid and asked quotations for the shares on the exchange on that date. The NAV per common share on a particular date is the amount calculated on that date (normally at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) in accordance with the Funds’ then current policies.

Fees and expenses. No brokerage charges are imposed on reinvestments in newly issued shares under the Plan. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Agent when it makes open market purchases. There are currently no direct service charges imposed on participants in the Plan, although the Funds reserve the right to amend the Plan to include such charges. The Plan Agent imposes a transaction fee (in addition to brokerage commissions that are incurred) if it arranges for the sale of your common shares held under the Plan.

Shares held through nominees. In the case of a registered shareholder such as a broker, bank or other nominee (together, a “nominee”) that holds common shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of common shares certified by the nominee/record shareholder as representing the total amount registered in such shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan. If your common shares are held through a broker, bank or other nominee and are not registered with the Plan Agent, neither you nor the nominee will be participants in or have distributions reinvested under the Plan. If you are a beneficial owner of common shares and wish to participate in the Plan, and your nominee is unable or unwilling to become a registered shareholder and a Plan participant on your behalf, you may request that your nominee arrange to have all or a portion of your shares re-registered with the Plan Agent in your name so that you may be enrolled as a participant in the Plan. Please contact your nominee for details or for other possible alternatives. Participants whose shares are registered with the Plan Agent in the name of one nominee firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.

Tax consequences. Automatically reinvested dividends and distributions are taxed in the same manner as cash dividends and distributions – i.e., automatic reinvestment in additional shares does not relieve shareholders of, or defer the need to pay, any income tax that may be payable (or that is required to be

The Registrant’s policy is stated below.

AUDIT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE POLICY FOR PRE-APPROVAL OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee (“Committee”) is charged with the oversight of the Fund’s financial reporting policies and practices and their internal controls. As part of this responsibility, the Committee must pre-approve any independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, to the Fund as well as to the Fund’s investment manager or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (“Applicable Service Providers”), if the engagement relates directly to operations and financial reporting of the Fund. In evaluating a proposed engagement by the independent accountants, the Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant’s independence. The Committee’s evaluation will be based on:

a review of the nature of the professional services expected to provided, the fees to be charged in connection with the services expected to be provided, a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and periodic meetings with the accounting firm.

POLICY FOR AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED TO THE FUND

On an annual basis, the Fund’s Committee will review and pre-approve the scope of the audits of the Fund and proposed audit fees and permitted non-audit (including audit-related) services that may be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants. At least annually, the Committee will receive a report of all audit and non-audit services that were rendered in the previous calendar year pursuant to this Policy. In addition to the Committee’s

pre-approval of services pursuant to this Policy, the engagement of the independent accounting firm for any permitted non-audit service provided to the Fund will also require the separate written pre-approval of the President of the Fund, who will confirm, independently, that the accounting firm’s engagement will not adversely affect the firm’s independence. All non-audit services performed by the independent accounting firm will be disclosed, as required, in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

AUDIT SERVICES

The categories of audit services and related fees to be reviewed and pre-approved annually by the Committee are:

Annual Fund financial statement audits

Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required)

SEC and regulatory filings and consents

AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

The following categories of audit-related services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants and services falling under one of these categories will be pre-approved by the Committee on an annual basis if the Committee deems those services to be consistent with the accounting firm’s independence:

Accounting consultations

Fund merger support services

Agreed upon procedure reports

Other attestation reports

Comfort letters

Other internal control reports

Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process described above, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm’s independence, by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $500,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

TAX SERVICES

The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants and services falling under one of these categories will be pre-approved by the Committee on an annual basis if the Committee deems those services to be consistent with the accounting firm’s independence:

Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following:

Federal, state and local income tax compliance; and, sales and use tax compliance

Timely RIC qualification reviews

Tax distribution analysis and planning

Tax authority examination services

Tax appeals support services

Accounting methods studies

Fund merger support service

Other tax consulting services and related projects

Individual tax services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process described above, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm’s independence, by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $500,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

PROSCRIBED SERVICES

The Fund’s independent accountants will not render services in the following categories of non-audit services:

Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund

Financial information systems design and implementation

Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports

Actuarial services

Internal audit outsourcing services

Management functions or human resources

Broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services

Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit

Any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible

PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED TO OTHER ENTITIES WITHIN THE FUND COMPLEX

The Committee will pre-approve annually any permitted non-audit services to be provided to Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC or any other investment manager to the Fund (but not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted by the investment manager) (the “Investment Manager”) and any entity

controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Investment Manager that provides ongoing services to the Fund (including affiliated sub-advisers to the Fund), provided, in each case, that the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund (such entities, including the Investment Manager, shall be referred to herein as the “Accounting Affiliates”). Individual projects that are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm’s independence, by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $500,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Although the Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Fund’s independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to the Investment Manager and its affiliates.

DE MINIMUS EXCEPTION TO REQUIREMENT OF PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES

With respect to the provision of permitted non-audit services to a Fund or Accounting Affiliates, the pre-approval requirement is waived if:

(1) The aggregate amount of all such permitted non-audit services provided constitutes no more than (i) with respect to such services provided to the Fund, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its independent accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided, and (ii) with respect to such services provided to Accounting Affiliates, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid to the Fund’s independent accountant by the Fund and the Accounting Affiliates during the fiscal year in which the services are provided;

(2) Such services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement for such services to be non-audit services; and

(3) Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Committee or by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this Committee Chairman or other delegate shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

e) 2. No services were approved pursuant to the procedures contained in paragraph (C) (7) (i) (C) of Rule 2-01 of Registration S-X.

f) Not applicable

g) Non-audit fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to the Adviser, for the 2016 Reporting Period was $5,095,656 and the 2017 Reporting Period was $4,600,230.

h) Auditor Independence. The Registrant’s Audit Oversight Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Adviser which were not pre-approved is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence.

ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANT

The Fund has a separately designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The audit committee of the Fund is comprised of Deborah A. DeCotis, F. Ford Drummond, Bradford K. Gallagher, James A. Jacobson, Hans W. Kertess, James S. MacLeod, William B. Ogden, IV, David S.

ALLIANZGI EQUITY & CONVERTIBLE INCOME FUND

(the “Trust”)

PROXY VOTING POLICY

1. It is the policy of the Trust that proxies should be voted in the interest of its shareholders, as determined by those who are in the best position to make this determination. The Trust believes that the firms and/or persons purchasing and selling securities for the Trust and analyzing the performance of the Trust’s securities are in the best position and have the information necessary to vote proxies in the best interests of the Trust and its shareholders, including in situations where conflicts of interest may arise between the interests of shareholders, on one hand, and the interests of the investment adviser, and/or any other affiliated person of the Trust, on the other. Accordingly, the Trust’s policy shall be to delegate proxy voting responsibility to those entities with portfolio management responsibility for the Trust.

2. The Trust delegates the responsibility for voting proxies to Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AllianzGI US”). A summary of the detailed proxy voting policy of AllianzGI US is attached as Appendix A hereto. Such summary may be revised from time to time to reflect changes to AllianzGI US’s detailed proxy voting policy.

3. The party voting the proxies (i.e., AllianzGI US) shall vote such proxies in accordance with such party’s proxy voting policy and, to the extent consistent with such policy, may rely on information and/or recommendations supplied by others.

4. AllianzGI US shall deliver a copy of its proxy voting policy and any material amendments thereto to the Board of the Trust promptly after the adoption or amendment of any such policy.

5. The party voting the proxy shall: (i) maintain such records and provide such voting information as is required for the Trust’s regulatory filings including, without limitation, Form N-PX and the required disclosure of policy called for by Item 18 of Form N-2 and Item 7 of Form N-CSR; and (ii) shall provide such additional information as may be requested, from time to time, by the Board or the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer.

6. This Proxy Voting Policy Statement, a summary of the detailed proxy voting policy of AllianzGI US, and how the Trust voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve month period ending June 30, shall be made available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-254-5197; (ii) on the Trust’s website at us.allianzgi.com; and (iii) on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC’s”) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, to the extent required by applicable law or determined by the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer or Board of Trustees, a summary of the detailed proxy voting policy of AllianzGI US shall also be included in the Trust’s Registration Statement or Form N-CSR filings.

Appendix A

Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AllianzGI US”)

Description of Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures

AllianzGI US typically votes proxies as part of its discretionary authority to manage accounts, unless the client has explicitly reserved the authority for itself. To ensure that the proxies are voted in the best interests of its clients, AllianzGI US has adopted proxy voting procedures and guidelines for voting proxies on specific types of issues. When voting proxies, AllianzGI US seeks to make voting decisions solely in the best interests of its clients and to enhance the economic value of the underlying portfolio securities held in its clients’ accounts. AllianzGI US will not be responsible for voting of proxies that AllianzGI US has not been notified of on a timely basis by the client’s custodian.

AllianzGI US has adopted written Proxy Policy Guidelines and Procedures (the “Proxy Guidelines”) that are reasonably designed to ensure that the firm is voting in the best interest of its clients. The Proxy Guidelines reflect AllianzGI US’s general voting positions on specific corporate governance issues and corporate actions. AllianzGI US has retained an independent third party service provider (the “Proxy Provider”) to assist in the proxy voting process by implementing the votes in accordance with the Proxy Guidelines as well as assisting in the administrative process. The services provided offer a variety of proxy-related services to assist in AllianzGI US’s handling of proxy voting responsibilities.

In certain circumstances, a client may request in writing that AllianzGI US vote proxies for its account in accordance with a set of guidelines which differs from the Proxy Guidelines. For example, a client may wish to have proxies voted for its account in accordance with the Taft-Hartley proxy voting guidelines. In that case, AllianzGI US will vote the shares held by such client accounts in accordance with their direction, which may be different from the vote cast for shares held on behalf of other client accounts that vote in accordance with the Proxy Guidelines.

AllianzGI US will generally refrain from voting proxies on non-U.S. securities that are subject to share blocking restrictions. Certain countries require the freezing of shares for trading purposes at the custodian/sub-custodian bank level in order to vote proxies to ensure that shareholders voting at meetings continue to hold the shares through the actual shareholder meeting. However,

because AllianzGI US cannot anticipate every proxy proposal that may arise (including a proxy proposal that an analyst and/or portfolio manager believes has the potential to significantly affect the economic value of the underlying security, such as proxies relating to mergers and acquisitions), AllianzGI US may, from time to time, instruct the Proxy Provider to cast a vote for a proxy proposal in a share blocked country.

The Proxy Guidelines also provide for oversight of the proxy voting process by a Proxy Committee. The Proxy Guidelines summarize AllianzGI US’s position on various issues, including issues of corporate governance and corporate actions, and give general indication as to how AllianzGI US will vote shares on such issues. Occasionally, there may be instances when AllianzGI US may not vote proxies in strict adherence to the Proxy Guidelines. To the extent that the Proxy Guidelines do not cover potential voting issues or a case arises of a potential material conflict between AllianzGI US’s interest and those of a client with respect to proxy voting, the Proxy Committee will convene to discuss the issues. In evaluating issues, the Proxy Committee may consider information from many sources, including the portfolio management team, the analyst responsible for monitoring the stock of the company at issue, management of a company presenting a proposal, shareholder groups and independent proxy research services. In situations in which the Proxy Guidelines do not give clear guidance on an issue, an analyst or portfolio manager and/or the Proxy Committee will review the issue. In the event that either the analyst or portfolio manager wishes to override the Proxy Guidelines, the proposal will be presented to the Proxy Committee for a final decision. Any deviations from the Proxy Guidelines will be documented and maintained in accordance with Rule 204-2 under the Advisers Act.

In accordance with the Proxy Guidelines, AllianzGI US may review additional criteria associated with voting proxies and evaluate the expected benefit to its clients when making an overall determination on how or whether to vote a proxy. Upon receipt of a client’s written request, AllianzGI US may also vote proxies for that client’s account in a particular manner that may differ from the Proxy Guidelines. In addition, AllianzGI US may refrain from voting a proxy on behalf of its clients’ accounts due to de-minimis holdings, immaterial impact on the portfolio, items relating to non-U.S. issuers (such as those described below), non-discretionary holdings not covered by AllianzGI US, timing issues related to the opening/closing of accounts, securities lending issues (see below), contractual arrangements with clients and/or their authorized

delegate, the timing of receipt of information, or where circumstances beyond its control prevent it from voting. For example, AllianzGI US may refrain from voting a proxy of a non-U.S. issuer due to logistical considerations that may impair AllianzGI US’s ability to vote the proxy. These issues may include, but are not limited to: (i) proxy statements and ballots being written in a language other than English, (ii) untimely notice of a shareholder meeting, (iii) requirements to vote proxies in person, (iv) restrictions on non-U.S. person’s ability to exercise votes, (v) restrictions on the sale of securities for a period of time in proximity to the shareholder meeting, or (vi) requirements to provide local agents with power of attorney to facilitate the voting instructions. Such proxies are voted on a best-efforts basis.

AllianzGI US may vote in accordance with the proxy guidelines of its affiliate advisers when voting in connection with Wrap Programs. The affiliated adviser’s guidelines may differ and in fact be in conflict with AllianzGI US’s voting guidelines.

If a client has decided to participate in a securities lending program, AllianzGI US will defer to the client’s determination and not attempt to recall securities on loan solely for the purpose of voting routine proxies as this could impact the returns received from securities lending and make the client a less desirable lender in the marketplace. If the participating client requests, AllianzGI US will use reasonable efforts to notify the client of proxy measures that AllianzGI US deems material.

The ability to timely identify material events and recommend recall of shares for proxy voting purposes is not within the control of AllianzGI US and requires the cooperation of the client and its other service providers. Efforts to recall loaned securities are not always effective and there can be no guarantee that any such securities can be retrieved in a timely manner for purposes of voting the securities.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

Like other investment professionals with multiple clients, a portfolio manager for a Fund may face certain potential conflicts of interest in connection with managing both the Portfolio and other accounts at the same time. The paragraphs below describe some of these potential conflicts, which AllianzGI US believes are faced by investment professionals at most major financial firms.

AllianzGI US has adopted compliance policies and procedures that address certain of these potential conflicts. The management of accounts with different advisory fee rates and/or fee structures, including accounts that pay advisory fees based on account performance (“performance fee accounts”), may raise potential conflicts of interest by creating an incentive to favor higher- fee accounts. These potential conflicts may include, among others:

· The most attractive investments could be allocated to higher-fee accounts or performance fee accounts.

· The trading of higher-fee accounts could be favored as to timing and/or execution price. For example, higher -fee accounts could be permitted to sell securities earlier than other accounts when a prompt sale is desirable or to buy securities at an earlier and more opportune time.

· The investment management team could focus their time and efforts primarily on higher-fee accounts due to a personal stake in compensation.

When AllianzGI US considers the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of a Fund as well as other accounts, AllianzGI US’s trading desk may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased. Aggregation of trades may create the potential for unfairness to a Fund or another account if one account is favored over another in allocating the securities purchased or sold—for example, by allocating a disproportionate amount of a security that is likely to increase in value to a favored account. AllianzGI US considers many factors when allocating securities among accounts, including the account’s investment style, applicable investment restrictions, availability of securities, available cash and other current holdings. AllianzGI US attempts to allocate investment opportunities among accounts in a fair and equitable manner. However, accounts are not assured of participating equally or at all in particular investment allocations due to such factors as noted above.

“Cross trades,” in which one AllianzGI US account sells a particular security to another account (potentially saving transaction costs for both accounts), may also pose a potential conflict of interest when cross trades are effected in a manner perceived to favor one client over another. For example, AllianzGI US may cross a trade between performance fee account and a fixed fee account that results in a benefit to the performance fee account and a detriment to the fixed fee account. AllianzGI US has adopted compliance procedures that provide that all cross trades are to be made at an independent current market price, as required by law.

Another potential conflict of interest may arise from the different investment objectives and strategies of a Fund and other accounts. For example, another account may have a shorter-term investment horizon or different investment objectives, policies or restrictions than a Portfolio. Depending on another account’s objectives or other factors, a portfolio manager may give advice and make decisions that may differ from advice given, or the timing or nature of decisions made, with respect to a Fund. In addition, investment decisions are subject to suitability for the particular account involved. Thus, a particular security may not be bought or sold for certain accounts even though it was bought or sold for other accounts at the same time. More rarely, a particular security may be bought for one or more accounts managed by a portfolio manager when one or more other accounts are selling the security (including short sales). There may be circumstances when purchases or sales of portfolio securities for one or more accounts may have an adverse effect on other accounts. AllianzGI US maintains trading policies designed to provide portfolio managers an opportunity to minimize the effect that short sales in one portfolio may have on holdings in other portfolios.

A portfolio manager who is responsible for managing multiple funds and/or accounts may devote unequal time and attention to the management of those funds and/or accounts. As a result, the portfolio manager may not be able to formulate as complete a strategy or identify equally attractive investment opportunities for each of those accounts as might be the case if he or she were to devote substantially more attention to the management of a single fund. The effects of this potential conflict may be more

pronounced where funds and/or accounts overseen by a particular portfolio manager have different investment strategies.

A Portfolio’s portfolio manager(s) may be able to select or influence the selection of the broker/dealers that are used to execute securities transactions for the Fund. In addition to executing trades, some brokers and dealers provide AllianzGI US with brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), which may result in the payment of higher brokerage fees than might have otherwise be available. These services may be more beneficial to certain funds or accounts than to others. In order to be assured of continuing to receive services considered of value to its clients, AllianzGI US has adopted a brokerage allocation policy embodying the concepts of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although the payment of brokerage commissions is subject to the requirement that the portfolio manager determine in good faith that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided to the Fund and the Sub-Adviser’s other clients, a portfolio manager’s decision as to the selection of brokers and dealers could yield disproportionate costs and benefits among the funds and/or accounts that he or she manages.

A Fund’s portfolio manager(s) may also face other potential conflicts of interest in managing a Portfolio, and the description above is not a complete description of every conflict that could be deemed to exist in managing both the Portfolios and other accounts. In addition, a Fund’s portfolio manager may also manage other accounts (including their personal assets or the assets of family members) in their personal capacity.

AllianzGI US’s investment personnel, including each Fund’s portfolio manager, are subject to restrictions on engaging in personal securities transactions pursuant to AllianzGI US’s Code of Business Conduct and Code of Ethics (the “Code”), which contain provisions and requirements designed to identify and address conflicts of interest between personal investment activities and the interests of the Fund. The Code is designed to ensure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of AllianzGI US will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients (including the Portfolios) or (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts.

Compensation Structure for AllianzGI US

As of January 31, 2017 the following explains the compensation structure of each individual who shares primary responsibility for day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund:

The compensation system is designed to support the organization’s corporate values and culture. While acknowledging the importance of financial incentives and seeking to pay top quartile compensation for top quartile performance, AllianzGI US also believes that compensation is only one of a number of critically important elements that allow the emergence of a strong, winning culture that attracts, retains and motivates talented investors and teams. AllianzGI US’s compensation system supports its belief that investment professionals are a key element of the company’s success in meeting clients’ objectives. To the extent that there are regional experts located in other AllianzGI US-affiliated offices worldwide who are “associated persons” of AllianzGI US and who serve as portfolio managers for certain of the Funds, this compensation strategy is applied independently by the AllianzGI US-affiliated company that employs such a portfolio manager. In such cases, AllianzGI US compensates the employing company through an affiliated transfer pricing arrangement that takes into account the value placed by AllianzGI US on the shared service of the portfolio manager.

The primary components of compensation are the base salary and an annual variable compensation payment. Base salary typically reflects scope, responsibilities and experience required in a particular role, be it on the investment side or any other function in the company. Base compensation is regularly reviewed against peers with the help of compensation survey data. Base compensation is typically a greater percentage of total compensation for more junior positions, while for the most senior roles it is typically a comparatively small component, often capped and only adjusted every few years.

The variable compensation component typically comprises a cash bonus that pays out immediately after the performance year as well as a deferred component, for members of staff whose variable compensation exceeds a certain threshold. Except for certain specialist investment teams as noted below, variable compensation is determined on a discretionary basis and is primarily designed to reflect the achievements of an individual against set goals, over a certain time period. For an investment professional these goals will typically be 70% quantitative and 30% qualitative. The former will reflect a weighted average of investment performance over a three-year rolling time period (one-year (25%) and three year (75%) results) and the latter reflects contributions to broader team goals, contributions made to client review meetings, product development or product refinement initiatives. Portfolio managers have their performance metric aligned with the benchmarks of the client portfolios they manage.

Variable compensation for certain specialist investment teams including AllianzGI US Income & Growth, Structured Products, and NFJ is determined on a formulaic basis. These teams share a percentage of advisory fee revenue including performance fee revenue, if applicable, generated by the investment strategy. Variable compensation for the NFJ Funds also takes into account the performance of the strategy over a five-year period. The relevant performance benchmark for a Fund is the Fund’s primary benchmark index.

After consultation and oversight from the firm’s compensation committee, the lead portfolio manager allocates the team’s share of the shared revenue to the individual team members. Allocation to individual team members is determined based on individual performance and contribution to the team and client success. All team members have agreed upon performance objectives to serve as a basis for performance evaluation during the year. These objectives are both quantitative and qualitative in nature. Quantitative objectives typically align to investment performance and client-stated objectives. Qualitative objectives reflect contributions to broader team goals, such as idea sharing, contributions made to client review meetings, product development or product refinement initiatives, and the way behaviors reflect AllianzGI US’s core values of excellence, passion, integrity and respect. For all investment professionals, a 360 degree feedback evaluation forms part of the qualitative input. Achievement against these goals as measured by the lead portfolio manager and Chief Investment Officer serve to link performance to compensation. Notwithstanding the basis for determining variable compensation, all compensation principles, including the deferral rules and deferred instruments described below, apply.

As noted above, variable compensation includes a deferral component. The deferred component for most recipients would be a notional award of the Long Term Incentive Program (“LTIP”); for members of staff whose variable compensation exceeds an additional threshold, the deferred compensation is itself split 50%/50% between the LTIP and a Deferral into Funds program (“DIF”). Deferral rates increase in line with the overall variable compensation and can reach up to 42%. Overall awards, splits, components and deferral percentages are regularly reviewed to ensure they are competitive and, where applicable, comply with regulatory standards.

The LTIP element of the variable compensation cliff vests three years after each (typically annual) award. Its value is directly tied to the operating profit of Allianz Global Investors.

The DIF element of the variable compensation cliff vests three years after each (typically annual) award and enables qualifying members of staff to invest in a range of Allianz Global Investors’ funds. Investment professionals are encouraged to invest into their own funds or funds of a similar nature to those that they manage. The value of the DIF award is determined by the performance of the fund over the three-year period covering each award.

Assuming an annual deferral of 33% over a three year period, a typical member of staff will have roughly one year’s variable compensation (3x33%) as a deferred component ‘in the bank’. Three years after the first award, and for as long as deferred components were awarded without break, cash payments in each year will consist of the annual cash bonus for that current year’s performance as well as a payout from LTIP/DIF commensurate with the prior cumulative three-year performance.

In addition to competitive compensation, the firm’s approach to retention includes providing a challenging career path for each professional, a supportive culture to ensure each employee’s progress and a full benefits package.
