Dear Shareholder:
This letter focuses on the six-month fiscal period ended July 31, 2011. However, it is important to note the significant volatility that has impacted U.S. financial markets since the end of the reporting period. This volatility has been sparked by a variety of economic and geopolitical challenges in both the United States and abroad. Ongoing U.S. government budget battles and the downgrading of its credit rating, fiscal concerns in Europe, and data indicating that the U.S. and global economies are slowing down have all contributed significantly to the recent market downturn.
Hans W. Kertess
Chairman
Brian S. Shlissel
President & CEO
Six-Months in Review through July 31, 2011
For the six-month fiscal period ended July 31, 2011:
· NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund rose 3.01% on net asset value (“NAV”) and 6.52% on market price.
· AGIC Equity & Convertible Income Fund rose 0.51% on NAV and fell 5.30% on market price.
In contrast, the Russell 3000 Index, a broad measure of U.S. stock market performance, rose 1.70% during the six-month period. The Russell 1000 Value Index, a measure of large-cap value-style stocks, returned 0.14% and the Russell 1000 Growth Index, a measure of growth style stocks, gained 3.14% during the reporting period. Convertible securities, as reflected by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Index, fell 0.07% during the period.
The latest data on gross domestic product (“GDP”) indicates the economy’s struggles. During the first quarter of 2011, GDP, the value of all goods and services produced in the country and the broadest measure of economic activity and the principal indicator of economic performance, rose just 0.4% on an annualized basis. Although this strengthened to an estimated 1.3% pace in the second quarter of 2011, it was not enough to alleviate fears of a second, or “double-dip” recession.
As the economy struggled, U.S. Treasury prices jumped, sending yields, which move in the opposite direction, plummeting. After reaching

|

3.75% in February 2011, the benchmark 10-year Treasury yielded just 2.82% by end of the fiscal period, July 31.
The economic weakness prompted the Federal Reserve (“the Fed”) to indicate that it would keep interest rates low through 2013. Policymakers have also hinted of additional stimulus measures.
The Road Ahead
The market volatility of the last few weeks reflects ongoing concern about the health of the U.S. economy. Key measures such as unemployment and housing remain troubled, and consumer confidence has fallen to 1982 levels.
There are reasons to be hopeful however, GDP, accelerated between April and June. In addition, there were 3.1 million job openings in May. The Fed is maintaining a low interest rate environment, and U.S. companies, holding record amounts of cash, are healthy.

NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund Fund Insights
July 31, 2011 (unaudited)
For the six months ended July 31, 2011, NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) returned 3.01% on net asset value and 6.52% on market price.
There was a dramatic difference in terms of equity market performance during the reporting period. During the first half of the six-month period, expectations for a strengthening economy and rising corporate profits drove equity markets higher. These factors more than offset a number of geopolitical challenges, the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis and the devastating earthquake in Japan. However, during the second half of the period, economic growth decelerated and investor risk appetite was largely replaced with heightened risk aversion. This was especially pronounced in July, as an escalation of the debt issues in Europe, combined with disappointing economic data and fears that the U.S. may default on its debt obligations, triggered a significant flight to quality. All told, the Russell 1000 Value Index was relatively flat, returning 0.14% during the six months ended July 31, 2011.
Although market sentiment varied throughout the reporting period, the net result for the equity and convertible markets was positive. Later in the reporting period, macro events, including many which carried over from earlier in the reporting period — the disaster in Japan, sovereign debt issues in Europe and weaker economic statistical reports in the U.S. weighed on investor sentiment. Company-specific news affected certain issuers, but in general, the macro shifts and the resulting weakness in the equity markets caused managers and trading desks to de-risk (sell). Sentiment shifted to a more positive stance late in the reporting period, as temporary shocks were the culprit for the majority of the slowdown. As a result, the equity and convertible markets regained some of what was lost from the mid-period lows.
During the six-month period, market volatility and sentiment led to an abrupt general market rotation. For the past several quarters, energy,

industrial and technology had been the leading market performers. In April 2011, the equity markets began to see a rotation out of these industries and into more defensive sectors (healthcare and utilities). In fact, in April and June, utilities were the best performers in the convertible index. The most striking factor was that some of the industries that posted the strongest quarterly profits were hit hardest during this rotation.
The convertible market also experienced periods of volatility given the change in investor sentiment. During the reporting period, the convertible market, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Index, returned -0.07%.
Levels of implied volatility, as measured by the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (“VIX”), was in the high teens, at the beginning of the reporting period, but saw multiple spikes above 20 during February and March 2011. After the earthquake in Japan, the VIX reached a high of 29.4 for the period before falling back to a low of 14.6 in April. Implied volatility would increase again in June and July on macro concerns, ending the six-month period at 25.3. The average implied volatility during the reporting period was 18.4.
Portfolio specifics
The equity portion of the Fund’s portfolio advanced, as both stock selection and sector allocation contributed positively to results. In terms of stock selection, the Fund’s holdings in the consumer discretionary, materials and consumer staples sectors were the most beneficial. This was somewhat offset by stock selection in the financials, telecommunication services and energy sectors.
From a sector allocation perspective, an underweighting to financials and an overweighting to energy contributed to the Fund performance. Conversely, an overweighting to information technology and an underweighting to utilities detracted the most from results.

During the six-month reporting period, the largest overweightings in the equity portion of the Fund’s portfolio relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index were in information technology and energy. Conversely, the largest relative underweightings were in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors.
Convertible positions in industrials, technology, and materials hurt performance late in the reporting period. Some of the Fund’s best-performing names in these sectors during the past year sold-off during the second quarter of 2011. Industrial issuers underperformed despite impressive operating profits and solid end market demand. Technology issuers were pressured by lower revenue expectations and future margin pressure. Materials companies were off on fears the weaker global economic outlook and higher input costs would impact future earnings. Select healthcare issuers outperformed during the time period.

March 2011. After the earthquake in Japan, the VIX reached a high of 29.4 for the period before falling back to a low of 14.6 in April. Implied volatility would increase again in June and July on macro concerns, ending the six-month period at 25.3. The average implied volatility during the reporting period was 18.4.
Portfolio specifics
The Fund’s equity positions in healthcare, utilities and consumer staples rose by the greatest magnitude during the semi-annual period. Defensive sectors benefited the most when the market abruptly rotated into to counter-cyclical stocks as economic slowdown concerns weighed on investor sentiment. Additionally, healthcare company earnings were better than expected, which helped move these stocks higher.
The Fund’s weakest equity performers were positions in information technology, industrials and consumer discretionary. Slower economic growth forecasts in addition to potential margin pressures offset reports of strong corporate profitability.
Convertible positions in industrials, technology, and materials hindered performance late in the reporting period. Some of the Fund’s best-performing names in these sectors during the past year sold-off during the second quarter of 2011. Industrial issuers underperformed despite impressive operating profits and solid end market demand. Technology issuers were pressured by lower revenue expectations and future margin pressure.

Outlook
Our outlook for the equity and convertible markets is positive. The global economy is going through a soft patch, but we expect improvement during the second half of the year. The supply chain disruptions from the Japan disaster seem to be abating, and while European sovereign debt issues will continue to make headlines, corporate profits should remain resilient. We expect second quarter earnings for a majority of companies to exceed expectations. In addition, U.S. corporate cash levels are high, debt levels have been reduced and maturities have been extended.
For the balance of 2011, companies are expected to use the high cash levels on their balance sheets and future free cash flow to boost shareholder value. Share buybacks, increased dividends and merger and acquisition activity are possible uses of excess cash. These factors will benefit equity and convertible investors.
While credit spread tightening should continue as corporate bond spreads remain above their historical average, positive convertible returns will be dependent on the equity markets going forward. Macro factors, as much as they may be dismissible on an issuer-by-issuer level, are having an impact on daily volatility and prices of higher beta issues. This variable has not been seen for several quarters and warrants close monitoring. Commodity prices eased in the period. However, cost pressures are real for some issuers in the market and bears monitoring.
Our disciplined approach of focusing on companies that we believe are exceeding expectations and improving their credit statistics will be rewarded as those companies differentiate themselves from their peer group. In this environment, we believe companies that have reasonable earnings visibility should command premium valuations relative to other companies.

Fund Performance & Statistics
July 31, 2011 (unaudited) (continued)
(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 specific period. The calculation assumes that all income dividends, capital gain and return of capital 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. Total return for a period less than one year is not annualized. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return.
Performance at market price will differ from its results at NAV. Although market price returns typically reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as changing views about the Fund, market conditions, supply and demand for the Fund’s shares, or changes in Fund 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 onetime 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 less liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily.
(2) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current quarterly per share dividend (comprised of net investment income and net capital gains from option premiums and the sale of portfolio securities, if any) payable to shareholders by the market price per share at July 31, 2011.

AGIC Equity & Convertible Income Fund Notes to Financial Statements
July 31, 2011 (unaudited)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund and AGIC Equity & Convertible Income Fund (collectively referred to as the “Funds”) were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on August 20, 2003 and December 12, 2006, respectively. Prior to commencing operations on February 28, 2005 and February 27, 2007, respectively, the Funds had no operations other than matters relating to their organization and registration as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations there under, as amended. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”) serves as the Funds’ Investment Manager and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“Allianz Global”). Allianz Global is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. Each Fund has an unlimited amount of $0.00001 par value common shares authorized.
NFJ 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.
AGIC Equity & Convertible Income’s investment objective is to seek total return comprised of capital appreciation, current income and gains. 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.
There is no guarantee that the Funds will meet their stated objectives.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Funds’ 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 which 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 April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) related to the accounting for repurchase agreements and similar agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The ASU modifies the criteria for determining effective control of transferred assets and as a result certain agreements may be accounted for as secured borrowings. The ASU is effective prospectively for new transfers and existing transactions that are modified in the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. At this time, Fund management is evaluating the implications of this change.
In May 2011, FASB issued an ASU to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). FASB concluded that the amendments in this ASU will improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed on financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and IFRSs. The ASU is effective prospectively for interim or annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Fund management is evaluating the implications of this change.
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 last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services.
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security are fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, or persons acting at their discretion pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Funds’ investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price. 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. Synthetic convertible securities are valued based on quotations obtained from unaffiliated brokers who are the principal market-makers in such securities. Such valuations are derived by the brokers from proprietary models which are generally based on readily available market information including valuations of the common stock underlying the synthetic security. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days.
The prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and these differences could be material to each Fund’s financial statements. Each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is normally determined as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on each day the NYSE is open for business.
(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:
|
· |
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Funds have the ability to access |
|
· |
Level 2 – valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or quotes from inactive exchanges |
|
· |
Level 3 – valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The 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 technique used.
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the six months ended July 31, 2011 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. When fair-valuing securities the Funds utilized multi-dimensional relational pricing models.
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 GAAP.
Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock) — Equity securities traded in inactive markets are valued using inputs which include broker-dealer quotes, recently executed transactions adjusted for changes in the benchmark index, or evaluated price quotes received from independent pricing services that take into account the integrity of the market sector and issuer, the individual characteristics of the security, and information received from broker-dealers and other market sources pertaining to the issuer or security. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of equity securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
Convertible Bonds & Notes — Convertible bonds and 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 and notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Corporate Bonds & Notes — Corporate bonds and 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 and 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”) 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 option contracts are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of Level 3 investments, which the Fund held at July 31, 2011, was $865,223. Net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation are reflected on the Statements of Operations.
* There were no transfers into and out of Level 3 during the six months ended July 31, 2011.
(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 premium is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Conversion premium is not amortized. 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 received on synthetic convertible securities are generally included in dividends.
(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.
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. The Funds’ management has determined that its evaluation has resulted in no material impact on the Funds’ financial statements at July 31, 2011. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
(e) Dividends and Distributions
The Funds declare quarterly dividends and distributions from net investment income and gains from option premiums and the sale of portfolio securities. The Funds record dividends and distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from 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 of paid-in capital in excess of par. At July 31, 2011, it is anticipated that the NFJ Dividend Interest & Premium Strategy Fund will have a return of capital at year end.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(f) Convertible Securities
It is the Funds’ policy to invest a portion of their assets in convertible securities. Although convertible securities do 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 feature which render them more 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 still less than that of the underlying stock.
(g) Securities Sold Short
Short sale transactions involve the Fund selling securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Fund is 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. Dividend expense is recorded on the applicable ex-date.
2. Principal Risk
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 various risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate and credit risks.
Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by the Funds are likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is useful primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s market price to interest rate (i.e. yield) movements.
Variable and floating rate securities generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. Inverse floating rate securities may decrease in value if interest rates increase. Inverse floating rate securities may also exhibit greater price volatility than a fixed rate obligation with similar credit quality. When the Funds hold variable or floating rate securities, a decrease (or, in the case of inverse floating rate securities, an increase) in market interest rates will adversely affect the income received from such securities and the NAV of each Fund’s shares.
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 equity securities, such as common and preferred stock, securities convertible into equity securities or equity-related investments such as options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.
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 Funds’ Sub-Advisers, NFJ Investment Group LLC (“NFJ”) and Allianz Global Investors Capital LLC (“AGIC”), also affiliates of the Investment Manager, seek to minimize counterparty risks to each applicable Fund by performing reviews of each counterparty.

2. Principal Risk (continued)
Delivery of securities sold is only made once the Funds have received payment. Payment is made on the purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.
The Funds held synthetic convertible securities with Lehman Brothers entities as counterparty at the time the relevant Lehman Brothers entity filed for protection or was placed in administration. On April 8, 2011, NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund sold these synthetic convertible securities. The values of the relevant securities still held in the AGIC Equity & Convertible Income Fund have been written down to their estimated recoverable values.
3. Financial Derivatives Instruments
Disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities require qualitative disclosures regarding objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures 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 sometimes 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 write (sell) 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 which 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 purchased 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. 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.

4. Investment Manager/Sub-Advisers
Each Fund has an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees, 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 its Agreement, the NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund pays the Investment Manager an annual fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.90% of the Fund’s average daily total managed assets. Pursuant to its Agreement, the AGIC Equity & Convertible Income Fund pays the Investment Manager an annual fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily total managed assets. Total managed assets refer to the total assets of each Fund (including borrowings that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings).
The Investment Manager has retained its affiliates NFJ and AGIC (the “Sub-Advisers”), to manage NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy. NFJ manages the equity component and AGIC manages the Fund’s convertible and index option strategy components. AGIC serves as the sole sub-adviser to AGIC Equity & Convertible Income. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, NFJ and AGIC makes all of NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy’s investment decisions in connection with their respective components of the Fund’s investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, AGIC is responsible for making all of AGIC Equity & Convertible Income’s investment decisions. Pursuant to Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Investment Manager and not the Funds, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Advisers in return for their services.

7. Legal Proceedings
In June and September 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates (including PEA Capital LLC (“PEA”), Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC and Allianz Global Investors of America, L.P.), agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations, claims brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the New Jersey Attorney General alleging violations of federal and state securities laws with respect to certain open-end funds for which the Investment Manager serves as investment adviser. The settlements related to an alleged “market timing” arrangement in certain open-end funds formerly sub-advised by PEA. The Investment Manager and its affiliates agreed to pay a total of $68 million to settle the claims. In addition to monetary payments, the settling parties agreed to undertake certain corporate governance, compliance and disclosure reforms related to market timing, and consented to cease and desist orders and censures. Subsequent to these events, PEA deregistered as an investment adviser and dissolved. None of the settlements alleged that any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Funds.
Since February 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in a number of pending lawsuits concerning “market timing,” which allege the same or similar conduct underlying the regulatory settlements discussed above. The market timing lawsuits have been consolidated in a multidistrict litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (the “MDL Court”). After a number of claims in the lawsuits were dismissed by the MDL Court in April 2010, the parties entered into a stipulation of settlement, which was publicly filed with the MDL Court in April 2010, resolving all remaining claims. In April 2011, the MDL Court granted final approval of the settlement.
The Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory activities relating to the Funds.

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) and a majority of the non-interested Trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately, approve the Funds’ Management Agreement with the Investment Manager (the “Advisory Agreement”) and Portfolio Management Agreement between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”, and together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”). The Trustees met in person on June 14-15, 2011 (the “contract review meeting”) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from Fund management during the contract review meeting.
Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the continuation of the Funds’ Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements should be approved for a one-year period commencing July 1, 2011.
In connection with their deliberations regarding the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services performed by the Investment Manager or the Sub-Advisers under the applicable Agreement.
In connection with their contract review meetings, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Morningstar Associates LLC (“Morningstar”) on the net return investment performance (based on net assets) of the Funds for various time periods, the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives as the Funds identified by Morningstar and the performance of an applicable benchmark index, (ii) information provided by Morningstar on the Funds’ management fees and other expenses and the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Morningstar, (iii) information regarding the investment performance and management fees of any comparable portfolios of other clients of the Sub-Advisers including institutional separate accounts and other clients, (iv) the estimated profitability to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers from their relationship with the Funds for the one year period ended March 31, 2011, (v) descriptions of various functions performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers for the Funds, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (vi) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Funds.
The Trustees’ conclusions as to the continuation of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the rustees’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.
As part of their review, the Trustees examined the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Advisers’ abilities to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Funds. The Trustees considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of the Sub-Advisers; the experience of key advisory personnel of the Sub-Advisers responsible for portfolio management of the Funds; the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers; and the level of skill required to manage the Funds. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Advisers’ services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Funds; the nature and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager is responsible for providing to the Funds; and conditions that might affect the Investment Manager’s or the Sub-Advisers’ ability to provide high quality services to the Funds in the future under the Agreements, including each organization’s respective business reputation, financial condition and operational

stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Sub-Advisers’ investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to each of the Funds given their respective investment objective and policies, and that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers would be able to continue to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.
Based on information provided by Morningstar, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s net return investment performance as well as the performance of comparable funds identified by Morningstar. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees took into account information provided by the Investment Manager in connection with the contract review meeting, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year regarding each Fund’s performance.
In assessing the reasonableness of each Fund’s fees under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, each Fund’s management fee and the total net expense ratio as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common shares and the management fee and total net expense ratios of comparable funds identified by Morningstar.
The Trustees specifically took note of how each Fund compared to its Morningstar peers as to performance, management fee expense and total net expenses. The Trustees noted that while the Funds are not charged a separate administration fee, it was not clear whether the peer funds in the Morningstar categories were separately charged such a fee by their investment managers, so that the total net expense ratio (rather than any individual expense component) represented the most relevant comparison. It was noted that the total net expense ratio reflects the effect of expense waivers/reimbursements (although none exist for the Funds) and does not reflect interest expense.
NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund
The Trustees noted that the expense group for the Fund provided by Morningstar consisted of a total of ten closed-end funds, including the Fund. The Trustees also noted that average net assets of the common shares of the funds in the peer group ranged from $18.87 million to $1709.06 million, and that none of the funds is larger in asset size than the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the Fund was ranked third of ten funds in the expense peer group for total net expense ratio based on common assets and fourth out of ten funds in the expense peer group for the total net expense ratio based on common and leveraged assets combined and fifth out of ten funds in actual management fees (with funds ranked first having the lowest fees/expenses and ranked tenth having the highest fees/expenses in the peer group).
With respect to Fund performance (based on net asset value), the Trustees also noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark and had third quartile performance for the one-year period ended February 28, 2011 against a peer group of ten funds. The Trustees noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark and had fourth quartile performance for the three-year period and underperformed its benchmark but had second quartile performance for the five-year period ended February 28, 2011.
AGIC Equity & Convertible Income Fund
The Trustees noted that the expense group for the Fund provided by Morningstar consisted of a total of ten closed-end funds, including the Fund. The Trustees also noted that average net assets of the common shares of the funds in the peer group ranged from $18.87 million to $950.37 million, and that four of the funds are larger in asset size than the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the Fund was ranked fifth of ten funds in the expense peer group for total net expense ratio based on common assets and based on common and leveraged assets combined and seventh out of ten funds in actual management fees (with funds ranked first having the lowest fees/expenses and ranked tenth having the highest fees/expenses in the peer group).

With respect to Fund performance (based on net asset value), the Trustees also noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark but had first quartile performance for the one-year and three-year periods ended February 28, 2011 against a peer group of ten funds.
In addition to their review of Fund performance based on net asset value, the Trustees also considered the market value performance of each Fund’s common shares and related share price premium and/or discount information based on the materials provided by Morningstar and management.
The Trustees also considered the management fees charged by the Sub-Advisers to other clients, including institutional separate accounts with investment strategies similar to those of the Funds. Regarding the institutional separate accounts, they noted that the management fees paid by the Funds are generally higher than the fees paid by these clients of the Sub-Advisers, but noted management view that the administrative burden for the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Funds are also relatively higher, due in part to the more extensive regulatory regime to which the Funds are subject in comparison to institutional separate accounts. The Trustees noted that the management fees paid by the Funds are generally higher than the fees paid by the open-end funds offered for comparison but were advised that there are additional portfolio management challenges in managing the Funds, such as those associated with efforts to meet a regular dividend level.
Based on a profitability analysis provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees also considered the estimated profitability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers from their relationship with each Fund and determined that such profitability did not appear to be excessive.
The Trustees also took into account that, as closed-end investment companies, the Funds do not currently intend to raise additional assets, so the assets of the Funds will grow (if at all) only through the investment performance of each Fund. Therefore, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable under the Agreements.
Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called “fall-out benefits” to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers, such as reputational value derived from serving as Investment Manager and Sub-Advisers to the Funds.
After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees concluded with respect to each Fund, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements and based on the information provided and related representations made by management, that the fees payable under the Agreements represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Advisers to the Funds.
