Pioneer ILS Interval Fund

Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS) provide a unique opportunity to invest in an alternative asset class that is uncorrelated1 with financial markets. This may result in strong diversification2 benefits and an attractive risk-return profile.

We believe a portfolio construction approach that mimics the regional and peril exposure of the global reinsurance industry and that seeks to reduce adverse selection through a comprehensive due-diligence process can add value over a purely passive approach over time.

One of the most appealing aspects of ILS is their potential diversification properties. ILS are outcome-oriented investments with low correlation to financial markets as their performance is related to non-financial events (earthquakes, hurricanes and other types of natural catastrophic events).  As an example, if interest rates were to move several more times over the next year, that would have no effect on how many more hurricanes there would be globally.  Similarly, if the stock market moves up or down over the next year that would not influence the number of earthquakes globally.

1Correlation - The degree to which assets or asset class prices have moved in relation to one another. Correlation ranges from -1 (always moving in opposite directions) through 0 (absolutely independent) to 1 (always moving together).

2Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss.

3The Swiss Re Global Cat Bond Index tracks the aggregate performance of all USD, EUR and JPY denominated CAT bonds, capturing all ratings, perils and triggers. The index seeks to hedge out the EUR and JPY currency risk at the inception of the bonds. However, the index does not reflect the full ILS market because it does not include private market securities (e.g., quota shares, collateralized reinsurance, and ILWs). Furthermore, the index also has a higher concentration to peak zone risks (US hurricane/earthquakes) than what is typically included in an Amundi US ILS portfolio.

Data represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. ILS is represented by the Swiss Re Global Cat Bond Index, which tracks the aggregate performance of all USD, EUR and JPY denominated CAT bonds, capturing all ratings, perils and triggers. US Stocks represented by the S&P 500 Index, a commonly used measure of the US Stock Market. High Yield Corporate Bonds represented by the ICE BofA ML US High Yield Index. Indices are unmanaged and their returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

A Word about Risk: Pioneer ILS Interval Fund

Certain fees and expenses are associated with an investment in Pioneer ILS Interval Fund. The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company designed primarily as a long-term investment. The Fund is not a complete investment program. The Fund is operated as an interval fund, meaning the Fund will seek to conduct quarterly repurchase offers for a percentage of the Fund’s outstanding shares. Although the Fund will make quarterly repurchase offers, the Fund’s shares should be considered illiquid. The Fund invests primarily in insurance-linked securities (“ILS”). ILS include event-linked bonds, quota share instruments (also known as “reinsurance sidecars”), collateralized reinsurance investments, industry loss warranties and other insurance and reinsurance-related securities. The Fund could lose a portion or all of the principal it has invested in an ILS, and the right to additional interest and/or dividend payments with respect to the security, upon the occurrence of one or more trigger events, as defined within the terms of the security. Trigger events may include natural or other perils of a specific size or magnitude that occur in a designated geographic region during a specified time period, and/or that involve losses or other metrics that exceed a specific amount. ILS may expose the Fund to other risks, including, but not limited to, issuer (credit) default, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations and adverse tax consequences. The Fund has limited transparency into the individual contracts underlying certain ILS, which may make the risk assessment of such securities more difficult. The size of the ILS market may change over time, which may limit the availability of ILS for investment. The availability of ILS in the secondary market may also be limited. ILS in which the Fund invests may have limited liquidity or may be illiquid and, therefore, may be impossible or difficult to purchase, sell, or unwind. ILS also may be difficult to value. The values of Fund holdings may go up or down, due to market conditions, inflation, changes in interest or currency rates, lack of liquidity in the financial markets or adverse investor sentiment. Investments in high yield or lower-rated securities are subject to greater-than-average price volatility, illiquidity, and possibility of default. The market price of securities may fluctuate when interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the prices of fixed income securities held by the Fund will generally fall. Conversely, when interest rates fall, the prices of fixed income securities held by the Fund will generally rise. Investments in the Fund are subject to possible loss due to the financial failure of issuers of underlying securities and their inability to meet their debt obligations. The market prices of securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political, or regulatory conditions, recessions, inflation, changes in interest or currency rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues or adverse investor sentiment. The Fund may use derivatives, such as swaps, inverse floating-rate obligations and others, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on the Fund’s performance. Derivatives may have a leveraging effect. Investing in foreign and/or emerging market securities involves risks relating to interest rates, currency exchange rates, and economic and political conditions. To the extent the Fund invests a significant percentage of its assets in a single industry, such as the financial segment, the Fund may be particularly susceptible to adverse economic, regulatory or other events affecting that industry and may be more risky than a Fund that does not concentrate in an industry. As a non-diversified Fund, the Fund can invest a higher percentage of its assets in the securities of any one or more issuers than a diversified fund. Being non-diversified may magnify the Fund’s losses from adverse events affecting a particular issuer. Please see a prospectus for a complete discussion of the Fund’s risks.
