Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Directors of Pacholder High Yield Fund, Inc.:

We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that Pacholder High Yield Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“the Act”) as of October 31, 2010. Management is responsible for the Fund’s compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Fund’s compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Fund’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of October 31, 2010, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from June 30, 2010 (the date of our last examination), through October 31, 2010:

•

Count and inspection of all securities located in the vault of the J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, New York (the “Custodian”) at 4 Chase Metrotech Center, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 11245 without prior notice to management;

•

Confirmation of all securities of the Fund held by the Custodian at the Depository Trust Company in book entry form;

•

Reconciliation of all securities shown on the books and records of the Fund to the statements from the Custodian, and testing of the reconciliation of such securities shown on the Custodian statements to the confirmations described above;

•

Testing of 3 security purchases and 3 security sales or maturities since our last report from the books and records of the Fund by confirmation with the brokers or the application of alternative audit procedures.

We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Fund’s compliance with specified requirements.

LOGO

In our opinion, management’s assertion that Pacholder High Yield Fund, Inc. complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of October 31, 2010 with respect to securities reflected in the investment account of the Fund is fairly stated, in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Directors of Pacholder High Yield Fund, Inc. and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
