Market Price Distribution Rate is calculated by dividing the last
distribution per share (annualized) by market price. Rate includes
leverage (non-income items such as loan or proceeds). It does not
reflect returns of principal.

*PHD’s August distribution of $0.0550 per share represents a $0.0100 per
share decrease from the previous monthly distribution of $0.0650 per
share. Many fixed income asset classes have experienced spread
compression (tightening) in the past 12 months, including floating rate
loans. Therefore, yields on the fund’s securities have trended lower.
This distribution change was made to better align the fund’s
distribution rate to its current and projected level of earnings.
Taxable-Equivalent Distribution Rate is computed using an effective tax
rate of 43.4%, which includes the maximum federal tax rate of 39.6% and
the net investment income tax rate of 3.8%.
The funds are closed-end investment companies. Four of these funds trade
on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the following symbols: PHD,
PHT, MAV and MHI. HNW trades on the NYSE MKT. Pioneer Investment
Management, Inc. is each fund’s investment adviser.
Keep in mind, dividends are not guaranteed. Closed-end funds, unlike
open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public
offering and once issued, common shares of closed-end funds are bought
and sold in the open market through a stock exchange and frequently
trade at prices lower than their net asset value. Net Asset Value (NAV)
is total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of common
shares outstanding. For performance data on Pioneer's closed-end funds,
please call 800-225-6292 or visit our closed-end
pricing page.
