Dear Shareholders:

 

2011 Six Month Review

 

In the six months of 2011, high yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”) were supported by strong corporate balance sheets, improving corporate revenue and a robust primary issuance market, which provided companies with access to liquidity and the ability to roll over debt at attractive levels. Despite broad-based concerns about economic contagion from Europe’s debt crisis, political unrest in the Middle East and the tragic earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan, flows into high yield and leveraged loan mutual funds remained strong during the period, as investors continued to favor these investments over other areas of the U.S. fixed income market.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Pacholder High Yield Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) returned 6.07% based on Net Asset Value (“NAV”) compared to the 4.82% return for the Credit Suisse High Yield Index, Developed Countries Only (the “Index”) and the 6.47% average total return of the Morningstar Closed-End High Yield Category.

 

The Fund’s relative outperformance versus the Index for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was due in large part to security selection in the financial and media/telecom sectors. Security selection in the healthcare and transportation sectors detracted from the Fund’s overall performance. The Fund’s relative outperformance was enhanced due to its leverage obtained through its Auction Rate Preferred Shares (“ARPS”).

 

According to Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (Moody’s), the global speculative-grade issuer-weighted default rate declined to 2.2% in June 2011 from the March 2011 rate of 2.6%. Moody’s predicted, under its baseline scenario, that the global speculative-grade default rate will continue to fall to 1.5%-1.7% by the 2011 year-end.

 

As of June 30, 2011, the Fund’s largest sector concentration was in consumer discretionary, which accounted for 30.2% of its market value. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the average price of the Index increased 1.56 from $100.94 to $102.50, the average yield decreased 0.03% from 7.45% to 7.42% and the spread over the comparable U.S. Treasury narrowed 0.03% from 5.72% to 5.69%.

 

Fund Strategy

 

The Fund continued to use a credit bar bell investment strategy. To implement this strategy, the Fund invested a portion of its assets in relatively liquid high yield securities that demonstrated improving fundamentals, and took targeted credit risk when the Fund’s portfolio managers’ analysis indicated a favorable risk/reward opportunity. This targeted credit risk included investments in performing and non-performing bonds and loan assignments of firms that were trading at distressed levels or emerging from an administrative re-organization.

 

Auction Rate Preferred Shares and Dividends

 

Since February 2008, most auctions for preferred shares of closed-end funds and auction rate securities of other issuers have failed. The weekly auctions for the Fund’s ARPS have failed since February 13, 2008. Since that time, a number of broker-dealers announced that they will offer to repurchase auction rate securities from certain clients. Any action taken by the Fund to provide liquidity to the ARPS must be in the best interest of the Fund as a whole.

 

Since March 2010, the Fund paid a monthly dividend of $0.06 per common share. Beginning with the April 2011 dividend, the Board of Directors authorized the Fund to increase the amount of monthly dividends from $0.06 to $0.07 per common share. The Fund anticipates paying a monthly dividend of $0.07, subject to market conditions and the requirement that the Fund maintain asset coverage of at least 200% of the ARPS after payment of dividends. The amount of monthly dividend may be more or less than the actual income earned by the Fund in a given month and the Board of Directors will continue to monitor the continuing appropriateness of the dividend level in light of market conditions and income earned by the Fund over time.

 

As always, we appreciate your interest in the Fund and look forward to your continued support. Should you have any questions, please visit www.pacholder.com or call Shareholder Services at 1-877-217-9502.

 

Sincerely,

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Closed-end funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown.

 

J.P. Morgan Asset Management is the marketing name for the asset management businesses of JPMorgan Chase & Co. Those businesses include, but are not limited to, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., Security Capital Research & Management Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Alternative Asset Management, Inc.

 

Securities rated below investment grade are called “high-yield bonds,” “non-investment grade bonds,” “below investment-grade bonds,” or “junk bonds.” They generally are rated in the fifth or lower rating categories of Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service. Although these securities tend to provide higher yields than higher rated securities, there is a greater risk that the Fund’s share value will decline. Because this Fund primarily invests in bonds, it is subject to interest rate risks. Bond prices generally fall when interest rates rise.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

 

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES    Pacholder High Yield Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is a closed-end, diversified management investment company with a leveraged capital structure. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of total return through current income and capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its assets in high yield debt securities. The Fund invests primarily in fixed income securities of domestic companies. The Fund was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland in August 1988.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  A.   SECURITY VALUATIONS    Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) are valued each day based on quotations received from independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Directors or third party broker-dealers. The broker-dealers or pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the broker-dealer or pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances, where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the broker-dealers or pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value. Generally, short-term investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain investments of the Fund may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options shall generally be valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Directors. If valuations are not available from such services or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at such investment company’s current day closing net asset value per share. Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Fund are valued. The value of securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC shall generally be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

 

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations do not represent the value at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Directors. Under these procedures, the Fund primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material. At June 30, 2011, $6,761,428 of the Fund’s investments were fair valued.

 

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

 

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

   

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

   

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

   

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Security has zero value.

1    

Purchases include all purchases of securities and securities received in corporate actions.

2    

Sales include all sales of securities, maturities, paydowns and securities tendered in a corporate action.

 

Transfers into, and out of, Level 3 are valued utilizing values as of the beginning of the period.

 

Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 or from Level 3 to Level 2 are due to a decline or an increase in market activity (e.g. frequency of trades), which resulted in a lack of or increase in available market inputs to determine price.

 

The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to securities owned at June 30, 2011, which were valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) amounted to $(226,540). This amount is included in Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments in non-affiliates on the Statement of Operations.

 

  B.   FEDERAL TAXES    It is the Fund’s policy to make distributions to stockholders of net investment income and net realized capital gains to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies.

 

The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the appropriate provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute to stockholders each year substantially all of its taxable income, if any, including realized gains on investments.

 

The Fund reserves the right to retain investment company taxable income and/or net capital gains. As such, excise taxes may be recognized and paid on undistributed income and capital gain amounts.

 

Distributions paid by the Fund are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes. A portion of dividends paid may consist of net realized gains. To the extent that capital loss carryforwards are available to offset the distribution of capital gains but are not utilized at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year, such capital gain distributions may be taxable to stockholders as ordinary income.

 

The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

 

The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or losses will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, the Fund’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

  C.  

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME   Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are determined on an identified cost basis.

P ACHOLDER H IGH Y IELD F UND, I NC.

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

 

Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

  D.   SECURITIES LENDING    The Fund may lend securities to brokers approved by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM” or the “Advisor”) in order to generate additional income. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Fund, serves as lending agent for the Fund pursuant to an Amended and Restated Securities Lending Agreement effective February 9, 2010 (“Securities Lending Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash, which is invested in Capital Shares of the JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund. Upon termination of a loan, the Fund is required to return to the borrower the posted cash collateral. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time.

 

Securities lending income is comprised of income earned on cash collateral investments (“Collateral Investments”), net of a rebate received from or paid to borrowers for use of cash collateral and lending agent fees. This amount is recorded as Income from securities lending (net) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund also receives payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.

 

At the inception of a loan, securities are exchanged for cash collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of loaned U.S. dollar-denominated securities, plus accrued interest, and 105% of the value of loaned non-dollar denominated securities, plus accrued interest. The Securities Lending Agreement requires that the loaned securities be marked to market on a daily basis and additional cash collateral is requested from borrowers when the cash received from borrowers becomes less than 102% and 105% of the value of loaned U.S. dollar-denominated and non-dollar denominated securities, respectively, subject to certain de minimis guidelines.

 

The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and details of Collateral Investments are disclosed in the SOI.

 

The Fund bears the risk of loss associated with the Collateral Investments and is not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the Collateral Investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Fund may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Fund may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted, if the Advisor does not believe that it is prudent to sell the Collateral Investments to fund the payment of this liability.

 

Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, JPMCB has agreed to indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.

 

The Advisor waives fees associated with the Fund’s investment in JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund. This amount offsets the administration fees and shareholder servicing fees incurred by JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund related to the Fund’s investment in such fund. A portion of the waiver is voluntary.

 

Under the JPMCB Securities Lending Agreement, JPMCB is entitled to a fee paid monthly in arrears equal to: (i) 0.03% of the average dollar value of the loans of U.S. dollar-denominated securities outstanding during a given month; and (ii) 0.09% of the average dollar value of loans of non-dollar-denominated securities outstanding during a given month.

 

The Fund did not have any outstanding securities on loan at June 30, 2011, or at any time during the six month period.

 

  E.   EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS    Expenses are accrued as incurred. Dividends to common stockholders are paid from net investment income monthly and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Dividends to preferred stockholders are accrued daily based on a variable interest rate set at weekly auctions or, in the absence of a successful auction, at a maximum rate as calculated in accordance with the Fund’s Articles Supplementary for Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock and are paid weekly from net investment income. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

 

  F.  

WHEN, AS AND IF ISSUED SECURITIES   The Fund may engage in “when-issued” or “delayed delivery” transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased

on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis begin earning interest on the settlement date.

 

The Fund had no when-issued or delayed-delivery purchase commitments as of June 30, 2011.

 

  G.   LOAN PARTICIPATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS   The Fund may invest in loan participations and assignments of all or a portion of the loans. When the Fund purchases a loan participation, the Fund typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or third party selling such participations (“Selling Participant”), but not the borrower. In contrast, the Fund has direct rights against the borrower on a loan when it purchases an assignment; provided, however, that the Fund’s rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower and the Selling Participant and any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the Borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). Although certain loan assignments or participations are secured by collateral, the Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing on such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the obligor. In addition, loan assignments and participations are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for loan assignments and participations and certain loan assignments and participations which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid.

 

  H.   UNFUNDED COMMITMENTS  — The Fund may enter into commitments to buy and sell investments including commitments to buy loan assignments and participations to settle on future dates as part of its normal investment activities. Unfunded commitments are generally traded and priced as part of a related loan participation or assignment (Note 1.G.). The value of the unfunded portion of the investment is determined using a pro-rata allocation, based on its par value relative to the par value of the entire investment. The unrealized appreciation/depreciation from unfunded commitments is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund segregates sufficient liquid assets for unfunded and funded commitments that will settle on future dates. Credit risks exist on these commitments to the extent of any difference between the sales price and current value of the underlying securities sold. Market risk exists on these commitments to buy to the same extent as if the securities were owned on a settled basis and gains and losses are recorded and reported in the same manner. However, during the commitment period, these investments earn no interest or dividends.

 

At June 30, 2011, the Fund did not have any outstanding unfunded loan commitments.

 

2.   COMMON STOCK    At June 30, 2011, there were 49,996,320 shares of common stock with a $0.01 par value authorized and 12,958,759 shares outstanding. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, and the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund issued 2,141 and 5,713 shares of common stock, respectively, in connection with its dividend reinvestment plan.

 

3.   PREFERRED STOCK    On June 29, 2001, the Fund issued shares of Series W Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock (“ARPS”) at an offering price of $25,000 per share. Dividends on these shares are paid weekly at an annual rate determined by a weekly auction or, in the absence of a successful auction, at a maximum rate as calculated in accordance with the Fund’s Articles Supplementary for Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock. In general, the holders of the ARPS and the common stock vote together as a single class, except that the ARPS stockholders, as a separate class, vote to elect two members of the Board of Directors. The ARPS have a liquidation value of $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. At June 30, 2011, accrued ARPS dividends were $226.

 

The Fund is subject to certain limitations and restrictions associated with outstanding shares of ARPS, including maintaining an asset coverage ratio of 200% for such shares. Failure to comply with these limitations and restrictions could preclude the Fund from declaring any dividends or distributions to common stockholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of Preferred Stock at their liquidation value.

 

The weekly auction for the ARPS issued by the Fund has failed since February 13, 2008, due to insufficient demand (bids to buy shares) to meet supply (shares offered for sale) at the auction. Holders of preferred shares who wish to sell will not be able to do so until there is a successful auction with sufficient demand for the shares. Failed auctions are not considered a default by the Fund and do not alter the credit quality of the ARPS. However, failed auctions may increase the cost of the Fund’s leverage and decrease the income available for common stockholders. ARPS holders have continued to receive dividends at the “maximum rate” set on the date of the failed auction, and the redemption price of $25,000 per share (plus accumulated but

unpaid dividends, if any) is unaffected. Based on the rating assigned to the Fund’s ARPS, the maximum rate may range from 150%-275% of the “AA” Financial Composite Commercial Paper Rate as of a given auction date. The maximum rate incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2011, ranged from 0.06% to 0.285%. The maximum rate as of the August 10, 2011 auction was 0.075%, which is 150% of the “AA” Financial Composite Commercial Paper Rate on that date.

 

See Note 4 for discussion of interest rate swaps used to partially hedge the ARPS dividend payment obligations.

 

4.   INTEREST RATE SWAPS Interest rate swaps are agreements between the counterparties to exchange periodic interest payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.

 

The Fund entered into interest payment swap arrangements with Citibank, N.A. New York (“Citibank”) for the purpose of partially hedging its dividend payment obligations with respect to the ARPS.

 

The Fund may be subject to various risks from the use of interest rate swaps including: (i) the risk that changes in the value of an interest rate swap may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; (ii) counterparty credit risk related to the failure, by the counterparty to the swap, to perform under the terms of the contract; (iii) liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the Fund to close out its position(s); and, (iv) documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. Investing in swaps also results in a form of leverage and as such, the Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

The table below discloses the volume of the Fund’s interest rate swaps activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011:

 

Interest Rate Swap Contracts:

     

Average Notional Balance Long

  $ 5,000,000 (a)  

Ending Notional Balance Long

    —     

 

  (a)   For the period January 1, 2011 through May 31, 2011.

 

Pursuant to each of the swap arrangements, the Fund makes payments to Citibank on a monthly basis at fixed annual rates. In exchange for such payments Citibank makes payments to the Fund on a monthly basis at a variable rate determined with reference to the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The variable rates ranged from 0.185% to 0.266% during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

At June 30, 2011, there were no interest swap contracts outstanding.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Fund’s receipts under the swap agreements were less than the amount paid and accrued to Citibank by $94,815 and are shown in net realized gain (loss) in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

 

5.   PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES    Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended June 30, 2011, aggregated $48,675,820 and $49,012,231, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, there were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

 

6.   TRANSACTIONS WITH INVESTMENT ADVISOR, ADMINISTRATOR, ACCOUNTING SERVICES AGENT AND CUSTODIAN    JPMIM, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., serves as investment advisor to the Fund under an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the Advisory Agreement, JPMIM is entitled to receive an annual investment advisory fee (the “Performance Fee”), computed and paid monthly after the end of each calendar month, at a rate that increases or decreases from a “fulcrum fee” of 0.90% of the Fund’s average net assets over a rolling 12-month period. The increase or decrease is calculated by comparing the total return investment performance of the Fund (net of all fees and expenses, including the advisory fee) for the prior 12-month period (the “Fund Return”) to the percentage change in the CSFB High Yield Index, Developed Countries Only (the “Index”) for the same period. The fee rate is 0.90% of the Fund’s average net assets if the performance of the Fund Return equals the Index Return. The fee rate increases or decreases from the 0.90% “fulcrum fee” by 10% of the difference between the Fund Return and the Index Return, up to the maximum fee rate of 1.40% or down to the minimum fee rate of 0.40%. The fee rate is calculated monthly based on the performance of the Fund compared to the Index during the rolling twelve month period. This rate is applied to the average net assets (defined as the total assets of the Fund minus liabilities other than the principal amount of any outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness and the liquidation preference of the ARPS) during the entire 12-month period. The compensation due to the Advisor after the end of each month shall be equal to 1/12th of the amount of the advisory fee calculated as stated above.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

 

The effective advisory fee rate calculated for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, was an annual effective rate of 1.40%. Advisory fees calculated for the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2011, resulted in a net expense to the Fund of $1,078,381.

 

The Fund has an administrative services agreement with JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator” or “JPMFM”) (an affiliate of JPMIM) pursuant to which the Administrator provides administrative services to the Fund. Under the agreement, the Administrator receives from the Fund a fee, accrued at least weekly and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.10% of the average weekly net assets of the Fund. At June 30, 2011, accrued administrative fees were $9,526.

 

JPMFM and JPMIM have agreed that JPMFM will not increase the 10 basis point fee payable under the Fund’s administrative services contract through December 31, 2012.

 

J.P. Morgan Investor Services, Co. (“JPMIS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., is the Fund’s sub-administrator. For its services as sub-administrator, JPMIS receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

 

The Fund has a Global Custody and Fund Accounting Agreement (the “Agreement”) with JPMCB. For providing custody services under the Agreement, JPMCB is entitled to a fee from the Fund, accrued weekly and paid monthly. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the Statement of Operations. The custodian fees may be reduced by credits earned by the Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits are presented separately in the Statement of Operations.

 

Interest expense, if any, paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

 

In addition JPMFM and JPMIM have agreed to cap director compensation expenses and legal fees payable by the Fund through December 31, 2012, at the amount of such compensation and fees for 2007 (exclusive of extraordinary director compensation and legal fees attributable to the 2008 Board consolidation whereby the former Board of Directors was elected). The agreed-upon cap does not apply to director compensation expenses for special meetings or to legal fees incurred with respect to matters not in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business.

 

In addition to investing cash collateral from securities lending in a J.P. Morgan money market fund, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Advisor or its affiliates. The Advisor and Administrator waive fees in an amount sufficient to offset the advisory, administration and shareholder servicing fees each charged to the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund. A portion of the waiver is voluntary.

 

The amount of waivers resulting from investments in the money market funds for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $2,245.

 

JPMCB provides derivative collateral management services for the Fund. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for these services are included in the Collateral Management fees on the Statement of Operations.

 

Certain officers of the Fund are affiliated with the Advisor, the Administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund for serving in their respective roles.

 

The Board of Directors appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Directors’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statement of Operations.

 

The Fund adopted a Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Directors to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as a Director. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

 

7.   COMPONENTS OF ACCUMULATED EARNINGS (LOSSES)    At June 30, 2011, the components of net assets applicable to common stockholders (excluding paid in capital) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

    June 30,

Gross unrealized appreciation on investments

  $ 8,837,331

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

 

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“the Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Fund after December 31, 2010, may get carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long term losses. Prior to this Act, pre-enactment net capital losses incurred by the Fund were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. The Act requires under the transition that post-enactment net capital losses are used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

 

8.   ILLIQUID SECURITIES    Certain securities held by the Fund may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are illiquid. An illiquid security is a security which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately its fair value and includes, but is not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult. At June 30, 2011, the Fund held illiquid securities representing 5.9% of net assets applicable to common stockholders.

 

9.   RISKS, CONCENTRATIONS AND INDEMNIFICATIONS    The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in high yield debt securities. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. These securities involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims.

 

The ability of the issuers of debt and asset-backed securities, including sub-prime securities, along with counterparties to swap agreements, to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region. The value of asset-backed securities, including sub-prime securities, can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates or rapid principal payments including prepayments.

 

The Fund’s officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

The Fund is party to a derivative contract governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements (“ISDA agreements”) with a counterparty. The Fund’s ISDA agreement, which is separately negotiated with the dealer counterparty, may contain provisions allowing, absent other considerations, the counterparty to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the Fund in the event the Fund’s net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. Such rights often include the ability to terminate (i.e., close out) open contracts at prices which may favor the counterparty, which could have an adverse impact on the Fund.

 

Citigroup and Morgan Stanley are beneficial owners of a significant portion of the Fund’s outstanding ARPS and based on such ownership, could each be deemed to be an affiliate of the Fund. Both Citigroup and Morgan Stanley have informed the Fund that they intend to comply with a No Action Letter that enables them not to be deemed affiliates of the Fund. These parties could have an impact on matters that affect the Fund’s shareholders due to the voting rights associated with the ARPS, as detailed in the “Preferred Stock” note, included in this report.

 

As of June 30, 2011, the Fund is a party to certain securities loans and loan participations and assignments that were transacted with either Citigroup or Morgan Stanley in the normal course of business.

 

The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.

 

The Fund is also subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Fund such as swap contracts.

 

The Fund is subject to risks associated with asset-backed and mortgage-related securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations backed by sub-prime mortgage loans. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, prepayments, delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (concluded)

 

 

 

The Fund is subject to the risk that should the Fund decide to sell an illiquid investment when a ready buyer is not available at a price the Fund deems representative of its value, the value of the Fund’s net assets could be adversely affected.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)

 

 

Portfolio Holdings Information

 

No sooner than 10 days after the end of each month, the Fund’s uncertified complete schedule of its portfolio holdings as well as certain other fund facts and statistical information will be available on our website (www.pacholder.com). In addition, the Fund files its certified, complete schedule of its portfolio holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Forms N-Q are available, without charge, on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

 

No sooner than 10 calendar days after the end of each month, the Fund’s top 10 holdings as of the last day of each month as well as certain other fund facts and statistical information will also be available on the Fund’s website.

 

Proxy Voting

 

A description of the policies and procedures used by the Fund to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities, as well as information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, is available (i) without charge, on the Fund’s website at www.pacholder.com and (ii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

 

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

 

The Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) offers Common Stockholders (“Shareholders”) a convenient way to invest their income dividends and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the Fund’s common stock.

 

Shareholders who participate in the Plan will have all income dividends and capital gain distributions automatically reinvested by Computershare Investor Services LLC (the “Plan Agent”) pursuant to the Plan. When a dividend is declared, Shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash, paid by check, mailed directly to the Shareholder of record (or if the shares are held in street name or nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent, which serves as agent for the Shareholders in administering the Plan. Shareholders who participate in the Plan will receive the equivalent in shares of the Fund valued at the lower of market price or net asset valued as described below. (i) If the shares are trading at net asset value or at a premium above net asset value on the payment date, the Fund will issue new shares at the greater of net asset value or 95% of the current market price. (ii) If the shares are trading at a discount from net asset value on payment date, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and apply it to the purchase of the Fund’s shares in the open market, on the NYSE Amex or elsewhere, for the participants’ accounts. If before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the net asset value per share, the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the exceed the net asset value of the Fund’s shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. If the purchases have not been made prior to 30 days after the payment date, the Plan Agent may receive the uninvested portion in newly issued shares.

 

The Plan Agent’s fees for handling the reinvestment of Dividends will be paid by the Fund. There will be no brokerage charge to Shareholders for shares issued directly by the Fund as a result of dividends or distributions payable either in stock or cash. Each Shareholder who participates in the Plan, however will pay pro rate share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open-market-purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends or distributions.

 

The automatic reinvestment of income dividends and capital gain distributions will not relieve a Shareholder of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable on such dividends. Therefore, income and capital gains may still be realized even though Shareholders do not receive cash.

 

A Shareholder may terminate his/her account under the Plan by notifying the Plan Agent in writing. Upon termination, a shareholder can either receive a certificate for the number of full shares held in the Plan and a check for fractional shares or have shares sold by the Plan Agent and the proceeds sent to the shareholder, less a transaction fee of $15 plus $0.07 per share.

 

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at Computershare Trust Company, N.A. Dividend Reinvestment Services, P.O. Box A3309, Chicago, IL 60690-3309, by calling 888-294-8217 or www.computershare.com.
