President’s Letter

Dear Shareholders,

For two years now, investors have faced unprecedented challenges, as the COVID-19 pandemic has not only dominated the headlines since March 2020, but has also led to significant changes in government and central-bank policies, both in the US and abroad, and affected the everyday lives of each of us. With 2022 now well underway, the situation, while improved, has continued to evolve.

Widespread distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines approved for emergency use in late 2020 led to a general decline in virus-related hospitalizations in the US and had a positive effect on overall market sentiment during most of the 2021 calendar year. The passage of two additional fiscal stimulus packages by US lawmakers in December 2020 and January 2021 also helped drive a strong market rally. Then, the late-2021 emergence of the highly infectious Omicron variant of the virus led to surges in cases and hospitalizations, especially outside of the US, but also in certain areas of this country. That development contributed to a slowdown in the global economic recovery, as some foreign governments reinstated strict virus-containment measures that had been relaxed after the rollout of the vaccines. Many of those renewed restrictions were lifted as case numbers again began to decline during the late-winter months, but it appears the possibility of further virus-containment measures could be with us for a while longer, given that occasional surges in new cases have continued to arise, particularly in non-US locations.

In the US, while performance of most asset classes, especially equities, was positive for the full 2021 calendar year, 2022, so far, has featured a less-friendly market environment, as volatility has remained high. Concerns over global supply chain issues, rising inflation, “hawkish” signals concerning less-accommodative monetary policies from the Federal Reserve System (Fed), and partisan debates in Washington, DC over future spending and tax policies, are among the many factors that have led to greater uncertainty and an increase in market volatility. In addition, Russia's recent incursion into Ukraine has resulted in even greater market volatility, as economic sanctions placed on Russia by many Western countries have exacerbated the existing supply-chain issues and helped drive energy prices, including gas prices, to very high levels.

Despite those issues, and some of the recent difficulties that have affected the economy and the markets, we believe the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines has provided a potential light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. With that said, the long-term impact on the global economy from COVID-19, while currently unknown, is likely to be considerable, as it is clear that several industries have already felt greater effects than others, and could continue to struggle for quite some time. Of course, geopolitical concerns, whether they are related to the conflict in Ukraine or other crises in different areas of the globe, can always have an effect on the markets, and so our investment teams will remain vigilant and continue to monitor the geopolitical landscape.

At the outset of the pandemic, we temporarily closed our offices and instituted a work-from-home policy, but have since re-opened our US locations. However, we have been maintaining all the necessary precautions, which at times may have us working more remotely than in person in order to ensure a safe working environment as new variants of the COVID-19 virus continue to arise and spread. I am proud of the careful planning that has taken place. Throughout the pandemic, our business has continued to operate without any disruption, and we all look forward to regaining a bit of normalcy after so many months of remote working.

Since 1928, Amundi US’s investment process has been built on a foundation of fundamental research and active management, principles which have guided our investment decisions for more than 90 years. We believe active management – that is, making active investment decisions – can help mitigate the risks during periods of market volatility.

At Amundi US, active management begins with our own fundamental, bottom-up research process. Our team of dedicated research analysts and portfolio managers analyzes each security under consideration, communicating frequently with the management teams of the companies and other entities issuing the securities, and working together to identify those securities that best meet our investment criteria for our family of funds. Our risk management approach begins with each and every security, as we strive to carefully understand the potential opportunity, while considering any and all risk factors.

Today, as investors, we have many options. It is our view that active management can serve shareholders well, not only when markets are thriving, but also during periods of market stress.

As you consider your long-term investment goals, we encourage you to work with your financial professional to develop an investment plan that paves the way for you to pursue both your short-term and long-term goals.

We greatly appreciate the trust you have placed in us and look forward to continuing to serve you in the future.

Sincerely,

Portfolio Management Discussion | 3/31/22

In the following interview, portfolio managers Jonathan Sharkey, Noah Funderburk, and Nicolas Pauwels discuss the factors that influenced the performance of Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022. Mr. Sharkey, a senior vice president and a portfolio manager at Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. (Amundi US); Mr. Fundreburk, a senior vice president, Director of Securitized Credit, and a portfolio manager at Amundi US, and Mr. Pauwels, a vice president and portfolio manager at Amundi US, are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.

QHow did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022?
APioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund’s Class A shares returned 0.16% at net asset value (NAV) during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022, while the Fund’s benchmark, the ICE Bank of America (ICE BofA) US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, returned 0.06%, and the Fund’s former benchmark, the ICE BofA US Dollar (USD) 3-Month LIBOR Index, returned 0.05%*. During the same period, the average return of the 236 mutual funds in Morningstar’s Ultrashort Bond category was -0.74%.
QCan you describe the market environment for fixed-income investors over the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022?
AEntering the period back in April 2021, investors had focused their attention on positive developments pertaining to the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, a broader economic reopening from the pandemic-induced shutdowns and restrictions, and the US government’s most recent fiscal stimulus package approved at the beginning of the 2021 calendar year. The continued dovish posture of the US Federal Reserve System (Fed) on monetary policy lent further support to the markets and helped drive an increased appetite for riskier assets such as high-yield bonds, as Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) members hinted at a desire to remain “on the sidelines” with regard to major policy changes until at least 2023. At the time, the Fed based its projection on the view that near-term increases in inflation above the usual 2% target would be transitory, and not structural. The Fed also messaged that it would look
*Effective January 1, 2022, the Fund changed its benchmark from the ICE BofA USD 3-Month LIBOR Index to the ICE BofA US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, because the ICE BofA USD 3-Month LIBOR Index will cease with the cessation of LIBOR.

at average inflation over time, rather than feeling compelled to raise interest rates based on an isolated uptick in prices for certain goods and services.

However, the “reflation trade” wobbled during June 2021, as market participants navigated around growing apprehension over the spread of COVID-19 variants and a somewhat “hawkish” FOMC meeting that month. Treasury-market investors reacted to the updated Fed “dot plot” displaying FOMC member forecasts that pointed to a median federal funds target rate of 0.625% by year-end 2023, or 50 basis points (bps) higher than the March 2021 forecast. The Treasury yield curve saw short-end yields rise and long-end yields decline, while longer-term inflation expectations moved lower. The movement suggested investors’ doubts regarding the Fed’s long-term commitment to its current average inflation-targeting framework. (The Fed’s “dot” plot/projection is a quarterly chart summarizing the outlook for the federal funds rate for each FOMC meeting participant. A basis point is equal to 1/100th of a percentage point.)

The hawks prevailed during the September 2021 FOMC debate as to when to start tapering the asset purchases the Fed had implemented shortly after the outset of the pandemic, and at what pace. The FOMC signaled, and Fed Chair Powell affirmed, that tapering could begin as early as November 2021, and be completed by the middle of 2022.

The first quarter of 2022 saw a trifecta of concerns have a negative effect on the markets and lead to losses across most asset classes: increased geopolitical tensions driven by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February; a worsening growth/inflation mix arising from a spike in commodity prices; and the prospect of rising interest rates, due to changing monetary policies by the Fed and other central banks. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led to economic sanctions placed on Russia by the US and many European countries, which contributed to a dramatic rise in energy, metals, and food prices, while adding downside risk to real economic growth and upside risk to inflation. In addition, another round of lockdowns in China in the wake of increasing COVID-19 infection rates exacerbated the already prevalent supply chain disruptions and raised concerns among investors about further risks to global economic growth.

Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/22 5

 

 

 

During the first quarter of 2022, the Fed began to move away from its highly accommodative monetary policy stance. At its mid-March meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) raised the federal funds rate target range by a quarter point, to 0.25%-0.50%, and indicated that further increases in the benchmark overnight lending rate would follow, and rapidly. The Fed also completed the tapering of its bond purchases, thus ending its pandemic-era quantitative easing program, and signaled it would soon begin reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) by reinvesting only part of the proceeds from maturing securities.

QCan you review your principal investment strategies during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022, and how the strategies affected the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance?
AThe Fund’s benchmark-relative performance benefited during the period from investments in securitized assets, with portfolio exposures to residential MBS (RMBS), asset-backed securities (ABS), and commercial MBS (CMBS) making key positive contributions to relative returns. We have maintained an overweight to securitized assets in the Fund versus its peers. The Fund’s RMBS allocation included a significant position in credit-risk-transfer securities (CRTs), which transfer some of the risk of default from government agencies to the private sector. Performance of those securities received a boost from record housing prices, declining forbearance rates, and strong consumer balance sheets over the 12-month period. (Forbearance is when a mortgage servicer or lender allows the borrower to temporarily pay a mortgage at a lower payment, or pause payments on the mortgage.)

Likewise, consumer strength aided the performance of the ABS sector as the economy continued to reopen and retail sales exceeded expectations. The Fund’s CMBS allocation benefited from the floating-rate coupon structures of the assets during a 12-month period that featured a rising-interest-rate environment.

Bank loan and collateralized loan obligation (CLO) exposures also aided the Fund’s relative performance over the period. CLOs enjoyed a banner year in 2021, with record issuance and strong demand. Total issuance of CLOs in the US stood at $417 billion for the full 2021 calendar year, significantly outpacing issuance of $284 billion in 2017, the second-highest total on record. Investment-grade corporate bond positions, particularly in financials and industrials, were another positive contributor to the Fund’s relative performance over the period. Finally, a portfolio allocation

to insurance-linked securities (ILS) boosted the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance. We view the ILS exposure as helping to improve the portfolio’s risk-return profile, as ILS returns have typically had little correlation to the performance of other asset classes.

During a 12-month period that saw the Fund outperform its benchmark, there were no significant detractors from relative performance.

QCan you discuss the factors that affected the Fund’s income-generation (or yield), either positively or negatively, during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022?
ACredit spreads narrowed over the 12-month period, which had the effect of reducing the Fund’s overall income generation. However, we believe the Fund’s income generation relative to alternative investment options has remained attractive, given the continued low-interest-rate environment. (Credit spreads are commonly defined as the differences in yield between Treasuries and other types of fixed-income securities with similar maturities.)
QDid the Fund have any exposure to derivative securities during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022?
AThe Fund had a small allocation to US Treasury futures during the period, which had no material effect on performance.
QWhat is your assessment of the current investment environment within the fixed-income markets?
AWe believe it will be difficult for the Fed to achieve a “soft” economic landing as it works to try to bring inflation back down to its stated long-term target of 2% (year-over-year, core personal consumption expenditure inflation). To the extent that domestic core inflation readouts may not decline as much as the Fed expects throughout 2022, the US central bank will then face a tough decision. The Fed would have to decide whether to continue to increase the federal funds target range to well above the 3.0% peak priced in by the market, at the risk of causing a recession, or increase the stated inflation target from 2% to 2.5%, or even to 3.0%. The potential benefit of a higher inflation target, in our view, is that the Fed could then raise the “neutral” federal funds rate target range and thus provide more room to eventually cut rates before hitting zero if,

and when, the next recession arrives. We believe the Fed may deem such a change as the lesser of two evils, but it will have to message that change very carefully in order to maintain its long-term credibility.

Overall, we see continued upside risk for yields, as we expect the terminal (or peak) federal funds rate target range to be higher than currently implied by market pricing. We would not be surprised, however, to see yields consolidate in the current range, before moving higher as it becomes clearer that the Fed may have to raise rates to a greater extent than reflected in the pricing environment we saw at the end of the first quarter of 2022.

We remain positive on the fundamental outlook for credit-oriented assets, given a backdrop of strong economic growth, low defaults, still-accommodative (for now) monetary policy, and continued global demand for yield among investors. Likewise, consumers have remained in strong shape, given low unemployment, rising wages, and higher net worth’s driven in significant part by the housing market.

With that said, we view spreads for corporate credit as relatively tight, and as a limiting factor on return potential going forward. We currently have a preference for exposure to securitized assets in the portfolio, where we think the health of the consumer could continue to support performance. In addition, we expect security selection to be a larger contributor to returns, as opposed to pure “beta” exposures in the portfolio. (Beta measures an investment’s sensitivity to market movements in relation to an index.)

We continue to believe that the Fund offers a compelling option for investors seeking a strategic alternative to other short-term investment vehicles.

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments on pages 21–87 for a full listing of Fund securities.

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility and heightened uncertainty. 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, armed conflict including Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, or adverse investor sentiment. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.

The Fund has the ability to invest in a wide variety of debt securities.

The Fund’s investments, payment obligations and financing terms may be based on floating rates, such as LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). Plans are underway to phase out the use of LIBOR. There remains uncertainty regarding the nature of any replacement rate and the impact of the transition from LIBOR on the Fund, issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests, and financial markets generally.

The Fund may utilize strategies that have a leveraging effect on the Fund, which increases the volatility of investment returns and subjects the Fund to magnified losses if the Fund’s or an underlying fund’s investments decline in value.

The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance.

The Fund may invest in inflation-linked securities. As inflationary expectations increase, inflation-linked securities may become more attractive, because they protect future interest payments against inflation. Conversely, as inflationary concerns decrease, inflation-linked securities will become less attractive and less valuable.

The Fund may invest in credit default swaps, which may in some cases be illiquid, and they increase credit risk since the Fund has exposure to both the issuer of the referenced obligation and the counterparty to the credit default swap.

Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/22 9

 

 

 

The Fund may invest in subordinated securities which may be disproportionately adversely affected by a default or even a perceived decline in creditworthiness of the issuer.

The Fund may invest in floating rate loans. The value of collateral, if any, securing a floating rate loan can decline or may be insufficient to meet the issuer’s obligations or may be difficult to liquidate.

The Fund may invest in insurance-linked securities. The return of principal and the payment of interest and/or dividends on insurance-linked securities are contingent on the non-occurrence of a pre-defined “trigger” event, such as a hurricane or an earthquake of a specific magnitude.

The Fund may invest in zero-coupon bonds and payment-in-kind securities, which may be more speculative and fluctuate more in value than other fixed income securities. The accrual of income from these securities are payable as taxable annual dividends to shareholders.

Investments in equity securities are subject to price fluctuation.

International investments are subject to special risks including currency fluctuations, social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.

Investments in fixed-income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation, and reinvestment risks. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities generally falls.

The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities, which during times of fluctuating interest rates may increase or decrease more than other fixed-income securities. Mortgage-backed securities are also subject to pre-payments.

Prepayment risk is the chance that an issuer may exercise its right to prepay its security, if falling interest rates prompt the issuer to do so. Forced to reinvest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, the Fund would experience a decline in income and lose the opportunity for additional price appreciation.

High yield bonds possess greater price volatility, illiquidity, and possibility of default.

There may be insufficient or illiquid collateral securing the floating rate loans held within the Fund. This may reduce the future redemption or recovery value of such loans.

The Fund may have disadvantaged access to confidential information that could be used to assess a loan issuer, as Amundi normally seeks to avoid receiving material, non-public information.

The Fund is not a money market fund.

These risks may increase share price volatility.

There is no assurance that these and other strategies used by the Fund or underlying funds will be successful.

The ICE Bank of America U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Index measures the performance of a single issue of outstanding Treasury bills which mature closest to, but not beyond, three months from the rebalancing date. The issue is purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month; at the end of the month, that issue is sold and rolled into a newly selected issue.

The ICE Bank of America U.S. Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of a synthetic asset paying the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), with a constant 3-month average maturity. The index is based on the assumed purchase at par value of a synthetic instrument having exactly its stated maturity and with a coupon equal to that day’s 3-month LIBOR rate. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

The index defined here pertains to the “Value of $10,000 Investment” and “Value of $5 Million Investment” charts on pages 14–18.

Call 1-800-225-6292 or visit www.amundi.com/us for the most recent month-end performance results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Class C2 shares held for less than 1 year are subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). “If Held” results represent the percent change in net asset value per share. “If Redeemed” returns reflect deduction of the CDSC for the one-year period, assuming a complete redemption of shares at the last price calculated on the last business day of the period, and no CDSC for the five- and 10-year periods. All results are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Other share classes are available for which performance and expenses will differ.

The performance shown for periods prior to the commencement of operations of Class C2 shares on August 1, 2013, is the net asset value performance of the Fund’s Class C shares, which has not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses. For the period beginning August 1, 2013, the actual performance of Class C2 shares is reflected.

Performance results reflect any applicable expense waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such waivers Fund performance would be lower. Waivers may not be in effect for all funds. Certain fee waivers are contractual through a specified period. Otherwise, fee waivers can be rescinded at any time. See the prospectus and financial statements for more information.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

The performance shown for Class K shares for the period prior to the commencement of operations of Class K shares on December 20, 2012, is the net asset value performance of the Fund’s Class A shares, which has not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses, including Rule 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares. Since fees for Class A shares generally are higher than those of Class K shares, the performance of Class K shares prior to their inception would have been higher than the performance shown. For the period beginning on December 20, 2012, the actual performance of Class K shares is reflected. Class K shares are not subject to sales charges and are available for limited groups of eligible investors, including institutional investors. All results are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Other share classes are available for which performance and expenses will differ.

Performance results reflect any applicable expense waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such waivers Fund performance would be lower. Waivers may not be in effect for all funds.

Comparing Ongoing Fund Expenses

As a shareowner in the Fund, you incur two types of costs:

(1)ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses; and
(2)transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments.

This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the Fund’s latest six-month period and held throughout the six months.

Using the Tables

 

Actual Expenses

The first table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period as follows:

(1) Divide your account value by $1,000

Example: an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6

(2) Multiply the result in (1) above by the corresponding share class’s number in the third row under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Expenses Paid on a $1,000 Investment in Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund

Based on actual returns from October 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022.

           
Share Class A C C2 K Y
Beginning Account $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00

on 3/31/22          
Expenses Paid $2.94 $4.52 $4.38 $1.79 $2.19
During Period*          

 

*Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.59%, 0.91%, 0.88%, 0.36%, and 0.44% for Class A, Class C, Class C2, Class K, and Class Y shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) that are charged at the time of the transaction. Therefore, the table below is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements | 3/31/22

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund (the “Fund”) is one of three portfolios comprising Pioneer Series Trust X (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek a high level of current income to the extent consistent with a relatively high level of stability of principal.

The Fund offers five classes of shares designated as Class A, Class C, Class C2, Class K and Class Y shares. Each class of shares represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and has identical rights (based on relative net asset values) to assets and liquidation proceeds. Share classes can bear different rates of class-specific fees and expenses, such as transfer agent and distribution fees. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different dividends from net investment income earned by each class. The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of the Trust gives the Board of Trustees the flexibility to specify either per-share voting or dollar-weighted voting when submitting matters for shareowner approval. Under per-share voting, each share of a class of the Fund is entitled to one vote. Under dollar-weighted voting, a shareowner’s voting power is determined not by the number of shares owned, but by the dollar value of the shares on the record date. Each share class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting only that class, including with respect to the distribution plan for that class. There is no distribution plan for Class K or Class Y shares.

Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Amundi and Amundi’s wholly owned subsidiary, Amundi USA, Inc., serves as the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). Amundi Distributor US, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”).

In March 2020, FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update, ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other LIBOR-based reference rates at the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2023. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU

Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/22 97

 

 

 

2020-04 on the Fund’s investments, derivatives, debt and other contracts, if applicable, that will undergo reference rate-related modifications as a result of the reference rate reform.

The Fund is an investment company and follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). U.S. GAAP requires the management of the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income, expenses and gain or loss on investments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:

A. Security Valuation

The net asset value of the Fund is computed once daily, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE.

Fixed-income securities are valued by using prices supplied by independent pricing services, which consider such factors as market prices, market events, quotations from one or more brokers, Treasury spreads, yields, maturities and ratings, or may use a pricing matrix or other fair value methods or techniques to provide an estimated value of the security or instrument. A pricing matrix is a means of valuing a debt security on the basis of current market prices for other debt securities, historical trading patterns in the market for fixed-income securities and/or other factors. Non-U.S. debt securities that are listed on an exchange will be valued at the bid price obtained from an independent third party pricing service. When independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices, or when prices or market quotations are considered to be unreliable, the value of that security may be determined using quotations from one or more broker-dealers.

Loan interests are valued in accordance with guidelines established by the Board of Trustees at the mean between the last available bid and asked prices from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from Loan Pricing Corporation, an independent third party pricing service. If price information is not available from Loan Pricing Corporation, or if the price information is deemed to be unreliable, price information will be obtained from an alternative loan interest pricing service. If no reliable price quotes are available from either the primary or alternative pricing service, broker quotes will be solicited.

98 Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/22

 

 

 

Event-linked bonds are valued at the bid price obtained from an independent third party pricing service. Other insurance-linked securities (including reinsurance sidecars, collateralized reinsurance and industry loss warranties) may be valued at the bid price obtained from an independent pricing service, or through a third party using a pricing matrix, insurance industry broker valuation models to provide an estimated value of the instrument.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the closing settlement price established by the exchange on which they are traded.

The value of foreign securities is translated into U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing source. Trading in non-U.S. equity securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund’s shares are determined as of such times. The Fund may use a fair value model developed by an independent pricing service to value non-U.S. equity securities.

Repurchase agreements are valued at par. Cash may include overnight time deposits at approved financial institutions.

Shares of open-end registered investment companies (including money market mutual funds) are valued at such funds’ net asset value. Shares of exchange-listed closed-end funds are valued by using the last sale price on the principal exchange where they are traded.

Securities or loan interests for which independent pricing services or broker-dealers are unable to supply prices or for which market prices and/or quotations are not readily available or are considered to be unreliable are valued by a fair valuation team comprised of certain personnel of the Adviser pursuant to procedures adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The Adviser’s fair valuation team uses fair value methods approved by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees.

The Adviser’s fair valuation team is responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair valued securities and for discussing and assessing fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least quarterly, with the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees.

Inputs used when applying fair value methods to value a security may include credit ratings, the financial condition of the company, current market conditions and comparable securities. The Fund may use fair value methods if it is determined that a significant event has occurred after the close of the exchange or market on which the security trades and prior to the determination of the Fund’s net asset value. Examples of a significant

Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/22 99

 

 

 

event might include political or economic news, corporate restructurings, natural disasters, terrorist activity or trading halts. Thus, the valuation of the Fund’s securities may differ significantly from exchange prices, and such differences could be material.

At March 31, 2022, no securities were valued using fair value methods (other than securities valued using prices supplied by independent pricing services, broker-dealers or using a third party insurance industry valuation model).

B. Investment Income and Transactions

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund becomes aware of the ex-dividend data in the exercise of reasonable diligence.

Interest income, including interest on income-bearing cash accounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend and interest income are reported net of unrecoverable foreign taxes withheld at the applicable country rates and net of income accrued on defaulted securities.

Interest and dividend income payable by delivery of additional shares is reclassified as PIK (payment-in-kind) income upon receipt and is included in interest and dividend income, respectively.

Principal amounts of mortgage-backed securities are adjusted for monthly paydowns. Premiums and discounts related to certain mortgage-backed securities are amortized or accreted in proportion to the monthly paydowns. All discounts/premiums on purchase prices of debt securities are accreted/amortized for financial reporting purposes over the life of the respective securities, and such accretion/amortization is included in interest income.

Security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost method for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.

C. Federal Income Taxes

It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareowners. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of March 31, 2022, the Fund did not accrue any interest or penalties with respect to uncertain tax positions, which, if applicable, would be recorded as an income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. Tax returns filed within the prior three years remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

100 Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/22

 

 

 

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to shareowners are determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary over distributions for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or classification of income or distributions for financial statement and tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character, but are not adjusted for temporary differences.

At March 31, 2022, the Fund reclassified $479,097 to increase distributable earnings and $479,097 to decrease paid-in capital to reflect permanent book/tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.

At March 31, 2022, the Fund was permitted to carry forward indefinitely $154,390,874 of short-term losses and $92,760,837 of long-term losses.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, were as follows:

  2022 2021
Distributions paid from:    
Ordinary income $62,233,841 $73,465,577
Total $62,233,841 $73,465,577

 

The following shows the components of distributable earnings (losses) on a federal income tax basis at March 31, 2022:

   
  2022
Distributable earnings/(losses):  
Capital loss carryforward $(247,151,711)
Other temporary differences (497,022)
Net unrealized depreciation (61,163,139)
Total $(308,811,872)

 

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized depreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, adjustments relating to event-linked bonds, insurance-linked securities and the tax treatment of premium and amortization.

D. Fund Shares

The Fund records sales and repurchases of its shares as of trade date. The Distributor earned $0 in underwriting commissions on the sale of Class A shares during the year ended March 31, 2022.

Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/22 101

 

 

 

E. Class Allocations

Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated at the Fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on its respective percentage of adjusted net assets at the beginning of the day.

Distribution fees are calculated based on the average daily net asset value attributable to Class A, Class C and Class C2 shares of the Fund, respectively (see Note 5). Class K and Class Y shares do not pay distribution fees. All expenses and fees paid to the Fund’s transfer agent for its services are allocated among the classes of shares based on the number of accounts in each class and the ratable allocation of related out-of-pocket expenses (see Note 4).

The Fund declares as daily dividends substantially all of its net investment income. All dividends are paid on a monthly basis. Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, may be declared with the daily dividends. Distributions to shareowners are recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions paid by the Fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner and at the same time, except that net investment income dividends to Class A, Class C, Class C2, Class K and Class Y shares can reflect different transfer agent and distribution expense rates.

F. Risks

The value of securities held by the Fund 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, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inflation, changes in interest rates, armed conflict including Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Interest rates are very low, which means there is more risk that they may go up. The U.S. Federal Reserve has recently started to raise certain interest rates. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities and could also result in increased redemptions from the Fund. Rates of inflation have recently risen. The value of assets or income from an investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the Fund’s distributions.

102 Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/22

 

 

 

The global pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Global financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time, and may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments. Following Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities have lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future geopolitical or other events or conditions.

Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time.

At times, the Fund’s investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, making the Fund more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors.

Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In response to the military action by Russia, various countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, and European Union issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Since then, Russian securities have lost all, or nearly all, their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have been adversely affected. The United States and other countries may impose sanctions on other countries, companies and individuals in light of Russia’s military invasion. The extent and duration of the military action or future escalation of such hostilities, the extent and impact of existing and future sanctions, market disruptions and volatility, and the result of any diplomatic negotiations cannot be predicted. These and any related events could have a significant impact on the value and liquidity of certain Fund investments, on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, particularly with respect to securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas, as well as other sectors with exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other countries affected by the invasion, and are likely to have collateral impacts on market sectors globally.

Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/22 103

 

 

 

The Fund invests in below-investment-grade (high-yield) debt securities and referred stocks. Some of these high-yield securities may be convertible into equity securities of the issuer. Debt securities rated below-investment-grade are commonly referred to as “junk bonds” and are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. These securities involve greater risk of loss, are subject to greater price volatility, and may be less liquid and more difficult to value, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or change, than higher rated debt securities.

The Fund’s investments, payment obligations and financing terms may be based on floating rates, such as LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). The Fund’s investments, payment obligations and financing terms may be based on floating rates, such as LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, ceased publication of most LIBOR settings on a representative basis at the end of 2021 and is expected to cease publication of a majority of U.S. dollar LIBOR settings on a representative basis after June 30, 2023. In addition, global regulators have announced that, with limited exceptions, no new LIBOR-based contracts should be entered into after 2021. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in most major currencies. Markets are developing in response to these new rates, but questions around liquidity in these rates and how to appropriately adjust these rates to eliminate any economic value transfer at the time of transition remain a significant concern. The effect of any changes to - or discontinuation of - LIBOR on the Fund will vary depending on, among other things, existing fallback provisions in individual contracts and whether, how, and when industry participants develop and widely adopt new reference rates and fallbacks for both legacy and new products and instruments. In March, 2022, the U.S. federal government enacted legislation to establish a process for replacing LIBOR in existing contracts that do not already provide for the use of a clearly defined or practicable replacement benchmark rate as described in the legislation. Generally speaking, for contracts that do not contain a fallback provision as described in the legislation, a benchmark replacement recommended by the Federal Reserve Board will effectively automatically replace the USD LIBOR benchmark in the contract after June 30, 2023. The recommended benchmark replacement will be based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, including any recommended spread adjustment and benchmark replacement conforming changes. The process of transitioning from LIBOR may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that rely on LIBOR. The transition may also result in a

104 Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/22

 

 

 

reduction in the value of certain LIBOR-based investments held by the Fund or reduce the effectiveness of related transactions such as hedges. Any such effects of the transition away from LIBOR, as well as other unforeseen effects, could result in losses for the Fund. Because the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark may deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur at any time.

With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. While the Fund’s Adviser has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, limit or mitigate, such cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers to the Fund such as the Fund’s custodian and accounting agent, and the Fund’s transfer agent. In addition, many beneficial owners of Fund shares hold them through accounts at broker-dealers, retirement platforms and other financial market participants over which neither the Fund nor the Adviser exercises control. Each of these may in turn rely on service providers to them, which are also subject to the risk of cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity failures or breaches at the Adviser or the Fund’s service providers or intermediaries have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund shareowners to effect share purchases, redemptions or exchanges or receive distributions, loss of or unauthorized access to private shareowner information and violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, or additional compliance costs. Such costs and losses may not be covered under any insurance. In addition, maintaining vigilance against cyber-attacks may involve substantial costs over time, and system enhancements may themselves be subject to cyber-attacks.

The Fund’s prospectus contains unaudited information regarding the Fund’s principal risks. Please refer to that document when considering the Fund’s principal risks.

G. Restricted Securities

Restricted Securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Private placement securities are generally considered to be restricted except for those securities traded between qualified institutional investors under the provisions of Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.

Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/22 105

 

 

 

Disposal of restricted investments may involve negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult to achieve. Restricted investments held by the Fund at March 31, 2022 are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

H. Insurance-Linked Securities (“ILS”)

The Fund invests in ILS. The Fund could lose a portion or all of the principal it has invested in an ILS, and the right to additional interest or dividend payments with respect to the security, upon the occurrence of one or more trigger events, as defined within the terms of an insurance-linked security. Trigger events, generally, are hurricanes, earthquakes, or other natural events 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. There is no way to accurately predict whether a trigger event will occur, and accordingly, ILS carry significant risk. The Fund is entitled to receive principal, and interest and/or dividend payments so long as no trigger event occurs of the description and magnitude specified by the instrument. In addition to the specified trigger events, 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’s investments in ILS may include event-linked bonds. ILS also may include special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”) or similar instruments structured to comprise a portion of a reinsurer’s catastrophe-oriented business, known as quota share instruments (sometimes referred to as reinsurance sidecars), or to provide reinsurance relating to specific risks to insurance or reinsurance companies through a collateralized instrument, known as collateralized reinsurance. Structured reinsurance investments also may include industry loss warranties (“ILWs”). A traditional ILW takes the form of a bilateral reinsurance contract, but there are also products that take the form of derivatives, collateralized structures, or exchange-traded instruments.

Where the ILS are based on the performance of underlying reinsurance contracts, the Fund has limited transparency into the individual underlying contracts, and therefore must rely upon the risk assessment and sound underwriting practices of the issuer. Accordingly, it may be more difficult for the Adviser to fully evaluate the underlying risk profile of the Fund’s structured reinsurance investments, and therefore the Fund’s assets are placed at greater risk of loss than if the Adviser had more complete information. Structured reinsurance instruments generally will be considered illiquid securities by the Fund. These securities may be difficult

106 Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/22

 

 

 

to purchase, sell or unwind. Illiquid securities also may be difficult to value. If the Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset, the Fund may be forced to sell at a loss.

I. Repurchase Agreements

Repurchase agreements are arrangements under which the Fund purchases securities from a broker-dealer or a bank, called the counterparty, upon the agreement of the counterparty to repurchase the securities from the Fund at a later date, and at a specific price, which is typically higher than the purchase price paid by the Fund. The securities purchased serve as the Fund’s collateral for the obligation of the counterparty to repurchase the securities. The value of the collateral, including accrued interest, is required to be equal to or in excess of the repurchase price. The collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in safekeeping in the customer-only account of the Fund’s custodian or a sub-custodian of the Fund. The Adviser is responsible for determining that the value of the collateral remains at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of a default by the counterparty, the Fund is entitled to sell the securities, but the Fund may not be able to sell them for the price at which they were purchased, thus causing a loss to the Fund. Additionally, if the counterparty becomes insolvent, there is some risk that the Fund will not have a right to the securities, or the immediate right to sell the securities.

Open repurchase agreements at March 31, 2022, are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

J. Futures Contracts

The Fund may enter into futures transactions in order to attempt to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices and currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are types of derivatives. All futures contracts entered into by the Fund are traded on a futures exchange. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the associated futures exchange. The amount of cash deposited with the broker as collateral at March 31, 2022, is recorded as “Futures collateral” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Subsequent payments for futures contracts (“variation margin”) are paid or received by the Fund, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts, and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Cash received from or paid to the broker related to previous margin movement is held in a segregated account at the broker and is recorded as either “Due from broker for futures” or “Due to broker for

Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/22 107

 

 

 

futures” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract as well as any fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates where applicable. Futures contracts are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and currency exchange rate risk. Changes in value of the contracts may not directly correlate to the changes in value of the underlying securities. With futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

The average market value of futures contracts open during the year ended March 31, 2022, was $(357,692,393). Open futures contracts outstanding at March 31, 2022, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

2. Management Agreement

The Adviser manages the Fund’s portfolio. Management fees payable under the Fund's Investment Management Agreement with the Adviser are calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion, 0.30% of the next $4 billion of the Fund’s average daily net assets, 0.25% of the next $2.5 billion of the Fund’s average daily net assets and 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets over $7.5 billion. For the year ended March 31, 2022, the effective management fee was equivalent to 0.31% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

In addition, under the management and administration agreements, certain other services and costs, including accounting, regulatory reporting and insurance premiums, are paid by the Fund as administrative reimbursements. Included in “Due to affiliates” reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $136,272 in management fees, administrative costs and certain other reimbursements payable to the Adviser at March 31, 2022.

3. Compensation of Trustees and Officers

The Fund pays an annual fee to its Trustees. The Adviser reimburses the Fund for fees paid to the Interested Trustees. The Fund does not pay any salary or other compensation to its officers. For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund paid $212,429 in Trustees’ compensation, which is reflected on Statement of Operations as Trustees’ fees. At March 31, 2022, the Fund had a payable for Trustees’ fees on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities of $0.

4. Transfer Agent

For the period from April 1, 2021 to November 21, 2021, DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc. served as the transfer agent to the Fund at negotiated rates. Effective November 22, 2021, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc.

108 Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/22

 

 

 

serves as the transfer agent to the Fund at negotiated rates. Transfer agent fees and payables shown on the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively, include sub-transfer agent expenses incurred through the Fund’s omnibus relationship contracts.

In addition, the Fund reimbursed the transfer agent for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the transfer agent related to shareowner communications activities such as proxy and statement mailings, and outgoing phone calls. For the year ended March 31, 2022, such out-of-pocket expenses by class of shares were as follows:

   
Shareowner Communications:  
Class A $23,052
Class C 10,171
Class C2 33
Class K 650
Class Y 64,765
Total $98,671

 

5. Distribution Plan

The Fund has adopted a distribution plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to its Class A, Class C and Class C2 shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor 0.20% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class A shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund also pays the Distributor 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C and Class C2 shares. The fee for Class C and Class C2 shares consists of a 0.25% service fee and a 0.25% distribution fee paid as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class C and Class C2 shares. Included in “Due to affiliates” reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $137,774 in distribution fees payable to the Distributor at March 31, 2022.

In addition, redemptions of Class C2 shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Redemptions of Class C2 shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a CDSC of 1.00%, based on the lower of cost or market value of shares being redeemed. Shares purchased as part of an exchange remain subject to any CDSC that applied to the original purchase of those shares. There is no CDSC for Class A, Class C, Class K and Class Y shares. Proceeds from the CDSCs are paid to the Distributor. For the year ended March 31, 2022, CDSCs in the amount of $2,392 were paid to the Distributor.

6. Line of Credit Facility

The Fund, along with certain other funds in the Pioneer Family of Funds, participates in a committed, unsecured revolving line of credit (“credit facility”). Borrowings are used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of the amount available under the credit facility or the limits set for borrowing by the Fund’s prospectus and the 1940 Act. Effective February 2, 2022, the Fund participates in a facility in the amount of $380 million. Prior to February 2, 2022 the Fund participated in a facility in the amount of $450 million. Under such facility, depending on the type of loan, interest on borrowings is payable at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a credit spread. The Fund also pays both an upfront fee and an annual commitment fee to participate in the credit facility. The upfront fee in the amount of 0.10% of the total credit facility and the commitment fee in the amount of 0.25% of the daily unused portion of each lender’s commitment are allocated among participating funds based on an allocation schedule set forth in the credit agreement. For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund had no borrowings under the credit facility.

7. Additional Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Fund’s use of derivatives may enhance or mitigate the Fund’s exposure to the following risks:

Interest rate risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of interest-bearing securities due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates.

Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a financial instrument to make further principal or interest payments on an obligation or commitment that it has to the Fund.

Foreign exchange rate risk relates to fluctuations in the value of an asset or liability due to changes in currency exchange rates.

Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange rate risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

Commodity risk relates to the risk that the value of a commodity or commodity index will fluctuate based on increases or decreases in the commodities market and factors specific to a particular industry or commodity.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Pioneer Series Trust X and the Shareholders of Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Pioneer Series Trust X (the “Trust”)), including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2022, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund (one of the funds constituting Pioneer Series Trust X) at March 31, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

President’s Letter

Dear Shareholders,

For two years now, investors have faced unprecedented challenges, as the COVID-19 pandemic has not only dominated the headlines since March 2020, but has also led to significant changes in government and central-bank policies, both in the US and abroad, and affected the everyday lives of each of us. With 2022 now well underway, the situation, while improved, has continued to evolve.

Widespread distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines approved for emergency use in late 2020 led to a general decline in virus-related hospitalizations in the US and had a positive effect on overall market sentiment during most of the 2021 calendar year. The passage of two additional fiscal stimulus packages by US lawmakers in December 2020 and January 2021 also helped drive a strong market rally. Then, the late-2021 emergence of the highly infectious Omicron variant of the virus led to surges in cases and hospitalizations, especially outside of the US, but also in certain areas of this country. That development contributed to a slowdown in the global economic recovery, as some foreign governments reinstated strict virus-containment measures that had been relaxed after the rollout of the vaccines. Many of those renewed restrictions were lifted as case numbers again began to decline during the late-winter months, but it appears the possibility of further virus-containment measures could be with us for a while longer, given that occasional surges in new cases have continued to arise, particularly in non-US locations.

In the US, while performance of most asset classes, especially equities, was positive for the full 2021 calendar year, 2022, so far, has featured a less-friendly market environment, as volatility has remained high. Concerns over global supply chain issues, rising inflation, “hawkish” signals concerning less-accommodative monetary policies from the Federal Reserve System (Fed), and partisan debates in Washington, DC over future spending and tax policies, are among the many factors that have led to greater uncertainty and an increase in market volatility. In addition, Russia's recent incursion into Ukraine has resulted in even greater market volatility, as economic sanctions placed on Russia by many Western countries have exacerbated the existing supply-chain issues and helped drive energy prices, including gas prices, to very high levels.

Despite those issues, and some of the recent difficulties that have affected the economy and the markets, we believe the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines has provided a potential light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. With that said, the long-term impact on the global economy from COVID-19, while currently unknown, is likely to be considerable, as it is clear that several industries have already felt greater effects than others, and could continue to struggle for quite some time. Of course, geopolitical concerns, whether they are related to the conflict in Ukraine or other crises in different areas of the globe, can always have an effect on the markets, and so our investment teams will remain vigilant and continue to monitor the geopolitical landscape.

2 Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report 3/31/22

 

At the outset of the pandemic, we temporarily closed our offices and instituted a work-from-home policy, but have since re-opened our US locations. However, we have been maintaining all the necessary precautions, which at times may have us working more remotely than in person in order to ensure a safe working environment as new variants of the COVID-19 virus continue to arise and spread. I am proud of the careful planning that has taken place. Throughout the pandemic, our business has continued to operate without any disruption, and we all look forward to regaining a bit of normalcy after so many months of remote working.

Since 1928, Amundi US’s investment process has been built on a foundation of fundamental research and active management, principles which have guided our investment decisions for more than 90 years. We believe active management – that is, making active investment decisions – can help mitigate the risks during periods of market volatility.

At Amundi US, active management begins with our own fundamental, bottom-up research process. Our team of dedicated research analysts and portfolio managers analyzes each security under consideration, communicating frequently with the management teams of the companies and other entities issuing the securities, and working together to identify those securities that best meet our investment criteria for our family of funds. Our risk management approach begins with each and every security, as we strive to carefully understand the potential opportunity, while considering any and all risk factors.

Today, as investors, we have many options. It is our view that active management can serve shareholders well, not only when markets are thriving, but also during periods of market stress.

As you consider your long-term investment goals, we encourage you to work with your financial professional to develop an investment plan that paves the way for you to pursue both your short-term and long-term goals.

We greatly appreciate the trust you have placed in us and look forward to continuing to serve you in the future.

Sincerely,

Lisa M. Jones
Head of the Americas, President and CEO of US

Portfolio Management Discussion 3/31/22

U.S. equity markets moved higher during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022, although increased volatility resulted from the combination of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors affecting the financial markets. In the following interview, Andrew Acheson, Yves Raymond, and David Chamberlain discuss the factors that affected the performance of Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund during the 12-month period. Mr. Acheson, Managing Director, Director of Growth, US, and a portfolio manager at Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. (Amundi US), Mr. Raymond*, vice president and a portfolio manager at Amundi US, Mr. Chamberlain*, vice president and a portfolio manager at Amundi US, and Matthew Gormley*, associate portfolio manager at Amundi US, are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.

QHow did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022?
APioneer Fundamental Growth Fund’s Class A shares returned 10.70% at net asset value during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, returned 14.98%. During the same period, the average return of the 1,236 mutual funds in Morningstar’s Large Growth Funds category was 5.75%.
QHow would you describe the investment environment for domestic equities during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022?
AThe 12-month period featured heightened volatility as investors dealt with countervailing macroeconomic and geopolitical factors. Early in the period, US equities enjoyed strong gains, as the ongoing rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, continued monetary and fiscal stimulus from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and US government, increased consumer confidence and spending, and gains in employment figures spurred a sustained macroeconomic recovery. Strong corporate earnings and favorable outlooks from bellwether companies buoyed investor sentiment as well.

Later in the period, however, gains moderated. The rise of the Delta and Omicron variants led to a spike in COVID-19 cases worldwide, raising concerns about further possible business interruptions and their potential effects on the global economy. Supply chain challenges, too, weighed on business activity, and the highest inflation rates in more than 40 years

*Effective April 2021, David Chamberlain and Yves Raymond became portfolio managers of the Fund. Effective August 2021, Matthew Gormley became an Associate Portfolio Manager of the Fund.

led the Fed to take an aggressively hawkish tone regarding its monetary policy toward the end of the period, as it boosted short-term interest rates (the target range for the federal funds rate) for the first time since 2018 and signaled further rate hikes to come. As a result, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the Russell Index), the Fund’s benchmark, fell by more than 9% in the first calendar quarter of 2022, though it finished the full 12-month period with a gain of nearly 15%.

Within the large-cap universe, growth stocks outperformed value stocks during the period. Initially, worries about inflation and a potential slowdown in the economic recovery discouraged investment in predominantly value-oriented cyclical companies, which supported the performance of growth stocks. However, the performance gap narrowed significantly over the last three months of the period, with investors questioning whether growth-oriented companies could continue to outperform in a rising-interest-rate environment.

QWhat factors detracted from and contributed to the Fund's performance relative to its benchmark during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022?
ADuring the 12-month period, we maintained our traditional discipline of focusing the Fund’s investments on shares of what we view as higher-quality corporations with stable businesses and steady earnings. Given our focus on mitigating risk in the portfolio, the Fund’s performance has typically lagged that of the Russell Index when markets, in our opinion, have shown signs of excessive speculation, as was the case throughout much of the annual reporting period. However, the Fund did outperform the benchmark during the market's occasional pullbacks over the 12-month period, particularly in September 2021 and in the first quarter of 2022.

The primary driver of the Fund's benchmark-relative underperformance during the period was its exposure to what we considered to be reasonably valued growth stocks, which lagged behind high-growth, high-valuation stocks. The returns of stocks that are components of the Russell Index during the period were highly correlated with their price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios, and the Fund's underweight positions in stocks with high P/E ratios detracted from relative performance. In particular, the Fund's underweight allocation to Apple and lack of exposure to Tesla, both benchmark components, weighed on relative returns. (P/E ratio represents the price of a stock divided by its earnings per share.)

Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report 3/31/22 5

 


From a sector perspective, the most significant detractor from the Fund’s relative returns during the period was an underweight to information technology, as well as stock selection results within that sector. Stock selection results in the industrials and consumer discretionary sectors also detracted from benchmark-relative performance.

Conversely, an overweight allocation to the energy sector was the leading positive contributor to the Fund’s relative results for the period. Other positive contributors included an overweight position in financials and stock selection results within the communication services sector.

QWhich holdings detracted most significantly from the Fund's benchmark-relative performance during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022?
AAside from the underweight to Apple and lack of exposure to Tesla, which we mentioned earlier, individual stocks that notably detracted from the Fund’s benchmark-relative returns for the 12-month period included toolmaker Stanley Black & Decker, digital-payment-processor PayPal, and Zimmer Biomet, a manufacturer of medical devices.

Stanley Black & Decker’s stock struggled during the period as investors anticipated a slowdown in tool sales, given moderating levels of housing renovation and maintenance activity compared with the very high levels for each during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Supply chain constraints also have limited the company’s growth, and rising interest rates have threatened to curtail strong activity in the housing market.

PayPal’s stock declined during the period after rumors began circulating (in the fourth quarter of 2021) that the company could seek to acquire a popular social media platform. The news led to market concerns that PayPal's organic growth targets might prove unachievable. PayPal then reduced its earnings guidance in the first quarter of 2022, given its continued transition away from its relationship with e-commerce marketplace provider eBay (not a Fund holding) and the recognition that pandemic-related spending trends were unsustainable. We had reduced the size of the Fund’s exposure to PayPal for valuation reasons, but continue to hold a smaller position in the stock in the portfolio, due to the company's strong position as one of the leaders in its field as well as projected secular growth trends in the digital-payment segment.

Lastly, the Fund's position in Zimmer Biomet weighed on relative returns. Zimmer manufactures hip and knee replacement products, and the company posted lackluster financial results during the period, as the number of elective surgeries performed – reduced dramatically during the height of the pandemic – remained at depressed levels even after the

6 Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report 3/31/22

 


lifting of some of the earlier restrictions. Given the chronic shortage of nursing professionals, we anticipate that a recovery in surgical activity could take longer than previously expected, and so we sold the Fund’s position in Zimmer late in the period.

QWhich investments led positive contributions to the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022?
AThe position that made the largest individual positive contribution to the Fund's performance relative to the benchmark for the period was Alphabet (parent of Google). The company's dominance of the search business, highly popular Android smartphone operating system, and YouTube video-sharing website have generated consistently high returns on capital, while providing steady secular growth. Recovering advertising spending and increased demand for cloud-computing services have also contributed to strong financial performance, and we still see Alphabet as having an attractive valuation in comparison to the highest-valuation stocks in the Russell Index.

The Fund’s position in Schlumberger, a leader in the oilfield services industry, also contributed substantially to positive relative performance for the period. The gradual return to more normal levels of business and industrial activity spurred rising energy prices throughout the period, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022 led to a further spike in crude oil and natural gas prices, which helped boost Schlumberger’s share price. In addition to being a leading company in the industry, Schlumberger also has a reputation as a technology leader, which gives it premium pricing power and a sustainable competitive advantage, in our view. We anticipate spending on oil and gas to remain elevated for the intermediate term as exploration-and-production companies invest to boost production in order to meet higher levels of demand.

A position in brokerage-services company Charles Schwab was another positive contributor to the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance. We believe rising interest rates could provide a boost to Schwab's net-interest margins. If that happens, there could be a resulting increase in profits that may supplement the benefits Schwab has already reaped from secular growth in the discount brokerage industry, and from its recent strategic acquisitions aimed at bolstering its market share.

MasterCard, a leading global payments provider that has generated high returns on capital, aided the Fund’s benchmark-relative returns, especially during the first calendar quarter of 2022, after the company reported better-than-expected financial results. We believe MasterCard

Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report 3/31/22 7

 


could continue to benefit over the long term from the shift to a cashless society, and over the nearer term from a potential post-pandemic recovery in global travel spending.

Finally, we sold the Fund’s position in benchmark component Home Depot, the home improvement chain, during the period, and the portfolio’s underweight/lack of exposure to the stock benefited relative results. Like the aforementioned Stanley Black & Decker, Home Depot’s stock struggled during the period, due to moderating levels of housing renovation and maintenance activity.

QDid the Fund have any exposure to derivative securities during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022?
ANo, the Fund did not hold any derivatives during the period.
QWhat were some of the notable additions to the portfolio during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022?
AWe initiated a Fund position in hotel and hospitality company Hilton Worldwide during the period. Hilton's business incorporates several well-known brands as well as a strong loyalty program, and its franchise-focused business model helps the company generate strong returns on capital, while aiding the expansion in its portfolio of properties. Hilton has a deep pipeline of new properties for future development, and a potential recovery in leisure and business travel led us to believe that Hilton had an attractive valuation.

We also added analytics and risk-assessment specialist Verisk Analytics to the portfolio during the period. The stock's valuation became more attractive as pandemic-related weakness weighed on its energy and financial services segments. However, the company's core insurance analytics business has enjoyed a monopoly position for several decades, and we believe that persistently strong organic revenue growth could help Verisk's stock rebound from recent declines.

Late in the period, we took advantage of market volatility to purchase shares of semiconductor manufacturer NVIDIA, whose stock price had declined quite significantly from its earlier peak. With the exception of its valuation, NVIDIA had been a strong fit with our stock selection criteria for the Fund, as the company has a wide competitive moat around its business, driven by its graphics-processing-unit chips for use in autonomous vehicles, data centers, and video gaming. We believe secular tailwinds in areas such as artificial intelligence could propel sales and earnings higher in the future.

8 Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report 3/31/22

 


Other notable additions to the portfolio during the period included industrial specialist Eaton, which has benefited from the increased use of electricity to power vehicles and other machinery that are part of the broader industrial economy, with favorable trends as a possible tailwind. In addition, shares of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer were trading at an attractive valuation, and we believe the company’s release of a key antiviral treatment for COVID-19 could generate solid cash flow in the future, thus potentially creating new opportunities for growth. Lastly, FactSet Research Systems has generated growing recurring revenues in its business of providing economic and financial data to investment and finance professionals.

QWhat were some of the noteworthy positions sold from the Fund’s portfolio during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2022?
ADuring the period, we exited the Fund’s position in home improvement retailer Home Depot, which we discussed earlier. The company had benefited during the height of the pandemic from consumers spending more time at home, which had the side effect of increasing demand for home improvement and renovation projects. We believed the pulling-forward of demand could lead to slower future growth as the economic reopening continues. We no longer felt comfortable with Home Depot's valuation and decided to sell the shares, in keeping with our strict valuation discipline.

We also exited the Fund’s position in Medtronic after concluding that the medical-device company could struggle to gain traction with its future products, thus hindering its growth outlook. Additionally, we believe that competition in many of Medtronic's core businesses could remain fierce. Given better opportunities elsewhere, we felt it appropriate to exit the Fund’s position. A similar argument led us to sell shares of long-term portfolio holding Johnson & Johnson, as some of the company's larger drugs are losing exclusivity and could begin seeing similar competition in the near future.

Among other notable sales during the 12-month period were Fidelity National Information Services (FNIS), Cooper Companies, Humana, Accenture, and Zimmer Biomet. FNIS has struggled as several new entrants to the market have had a negative effect on the company's competitive advantage, which has weighed on its growth rates. We also sold shares of Cooper Companies, as the health care stock had reached our target price and faces potential downward pressure on its margins following a strategic acquisition. We sold the Fund’s shares of Humana after the company lowered its projections for Medicare Advantage membership growth due to increased competition. We also eliminated the

Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report 3/31/22 9

 

 

portfolio’s position in Accenture, purely for valuation reasons, as the stock had reached our target price. Lastly, we sold hips-and-knees manufacturer Zimmer Biomet. We had held the stock in the portfolio throughout the COVID-19 situation because we had anticipated a sharp recovery in elective surgeries with the lifting of restrictions once the worst of the pandemic had subsided. Chronic nurse shortages, however, have contributed to a slowdown in the recovery in elective surgeries.

QWhat is your outlook heading into next fiscal year for the Fund, and how is this outlook reflected in the Fund’s positioning?
AAs we look ahead to the remainder of 2022, we anticipate heightened volatility in the financial markets. Geopolitical and macroeconomic risks remain highly elevated. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has contributed to increasing inflationary pressures, which in turn could lead to a more aggressive monetary policy response from the Fed, in our opinion. We believe the Fed’s achieving a "soft landing" for the economy could be difficult, and so we see rising risk of a recession in 2023.

Economic growth remained strong as of period-end, but we think it may slow rapidly as the Fed raises interest rates to combat inflation. Consumer confidence has softened, with the war in Ukraine combining with the negative effects on consumer purchasing power driven by rising prices for energy, food, and shelter.

On the positive side, although the COVID-19 Omicron variant has spread rapidly throughout the population, lower rates of hospitalizations and deaths have led to fewer disruptions to economic and social activity. Despite recent lockdowns in China to curb the spread of infections, we see renewed virus-related lockdowns in much of the rest of the world as unlikely.

In the current environment, we expect equity markets to move sharply in reaction to macroeconomic and geopolitical events. We think corporate earnings growth may remain strong early in the year, but then decelerate as 2022 progresses. We believe that the more speculative parts of the market could come under further pressure in such an environment, especially if rising interest rates remove a key supporting factor that has helped keep valuations for those stocks at elevated levels.

Regardless of the macroeconomic backdrop, we remain committed to investing the Fund in shares of companies that we believe are highly profitable, possess strong balance sheets, and feature sustainable business models. We seek to hold shares of companies capable of surviving a prolonged and deep recession, and to emerge with the financial firepower to invest and thrive during the subsequent recovery.

In sector terms, the Fund remains overweight versus the Russell Index in industrials, most notably in companies that have benefited from both secular growth in industrial automation and the broader cyclical recovery. The Fund is also overweight to what we view as high-quality financials and health care stocks.

The information technology sector remains the Fund’s biggest underweight relative to the benchmark. We continue to have concerns about high valuations and the extreme concentration of the sector within the Russell Index, and so we have maintained an underweight there as part of our goal of managing portfolio risk.

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments on pages 21–24 for a full listing of Fund securities.

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility and heightened uncertainty. 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, armed conflict including Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, or adverse investor sentiment. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.

Investing in foreign and/or emerging markets securities involves risks relating to interest rates, currency exchange rates, economic, and political conditions.

The Fund invests in a limited number of securities and, as a result, the Fund’s performance may be more volatile than the performance of other funds holding more securities.

At times, the Fund’s investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, making the Fund more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors.

These risks may increase share price volatility.

Comparing Ongoing Fund Expenses

As a shareowner in the Fund, you incur two types of costs:

(1)ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses; and
(2)transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments.

This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the Fund’s latest six-month period and held throughout the six months.

Using the Tables

 

Actual Expenses

The first table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period as follows:

(1)Divide your account value by $1,000

Example: an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6

(2)Multiply the result in (1) above by the corresponding share class’s number in the third row under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) that are charged at the time of the transaction. Therefore, the table below is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements 3/31/22

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is one of three portfolios comprising Pioneer Series Trust X (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth.

The Fund offers five classes of shares designated as Class A, Class C, Class K, Class R and Class Y shares. Each class of shares represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and has identical rights (based on relative net asset values) to assets and liquidation proceeds. Share classes can bear different rates of class-specific fees and expenses, such as transfer agent and distribution fees. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different dividends from net investment income earned by each class. The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of the Trust gives the Board of Trustees the flexibility to specify either per-share voting or dollar-weighted voting when submitting matters for shareowner approval. Under per-share voting, each share of a class of the Fund is entitled to one vote. Under dollarweighted voting, a shareowner’s voting power is determined not by the number of shares owned, but by the dollar value of the shares on the record date.

Each share class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting only that class, including with respect to the distribution plan for that class. There is no distribution plan for Class K or Class Y shares.

Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Amundi and Amundi’s wholly owned subsidiary, Amundi USA, Inc., serves as the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”).

Amundi Distributor US, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”).

In March 2020, FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update, ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other LIBOR-based reference rates at the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2023. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU

34 Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report 3/31/22

 


2020-04 on the Fund's investments, derivatives, debt and other contracts, if applicable, that will undergo reference rate-related modifications as a result of the reference rate reform.

The Fund is an investment company and follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). U.S. GAAP requires the management of the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income, expenses and gain or loss on investments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:

A.Security Valuation

The net asset value of the Fund is computed once daily, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE.

Equity securities that have traded on an exchange are valued by using the last sale price on the principal exchange where they are traded. Equity securities that have not traded on the date of valuation, or securities for which sale prices are not available, generally are valued using the mean between the last bid and asked prices or, if both last bid and asked prices are not available, at the last quoted bid price. Last sale and bid and asked prices are provided by independent third party pricing services. In the case of equity securities not traded on an exchange, prices are typically determined by independent third party pricing services using a variety of techniques and methods.

The value of foreign securities is translated into U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing source. Trading in non-U.S. equity securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of such times. The Fund may use a fair value model developed by an independent pricing service to value non-U.S. equity securities.

Shares of open-end registered investment companies (including money market mutual funds) are valued at such funds’ net asset value. Shares of exchange-listed closed-end funds are valued by using the last sale price on the principal exchange where they are traded.

Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report 3/31/22 35

 



Securities for which independent pricing services or broker-dealers are unable to supply prices or for which market prices and/or quotations are not readily available or are considered to be unreliable are valued by a fair valuation team comprised of certain personnel of the Adviser pursuant to procedures adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The Adviser’s fair valuation team uses fair value methods approved by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser’s fair valuation team is responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair valued securities and for discussing and assessing fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least quarterly, with the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees.

Inputs used when applying fair value methods to value a security may include credit ratings, the financial condition of the company, current market conditions and comparable securities. The Fund may use fair value methods if it is determined that a significant event has occurred after the close of the exchange or market on which the security trades and prior to the determination of the Fund's net asset value. Examples of a significant event might include political or economic news, corporate restructurings, natural disasters, terrorist activity or trading halts. Thus, the valuation of the Fund's securities may differ significantly from exchange prices, and such differences could be material.

At March 31, 2022, no securities were valued using fair value methods (other than securities valued using prices supplied by independent pricing services, broker-dealers or using a third party insurance industry pricing model).

B.Investment Income and Transactions

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund becomes aware of the ex- dividend data in the exercise of reasonable diligence.

Interest income, including interest on income-bearing cash accounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend and interest income are reported net of unrecoverable foreign taxes withheld at the applicable country rates and net of income accrued on defaulted securities.

Interest and dividend income payable by delivery of additional shares is reclassified as PIK (payment-in-kind) income upon receipt and is included in interest and dividend income, respectively.

Security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost method for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.

36 Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report 3/31/22

 

C.Federal Income Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareowners. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of March 31, 2022, the Fund did not accrue any interest or penalties with respect to uncertain tax positions, which, if applicable, would be recorded as an income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. Tax returns filed within the prior three years remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to shareowners are determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary over distributions for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or classification of income or distributions for financial statement and tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character, but are not adjusted for temporary differences.

At March 31, 2022, the Fund reclassified $50,377,738 to decrease distributable earnings and $50,377,738 to increase paid-in capital to reflect permanent book/tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, were as follows:

     
  2022 2021
Distributions paid from:    
Ordinary income $ 25,708,852 $ 9,677,539
Long-term capital gains 1,191,066,382 587,106,021
Total $1,216,775,234 $596,783,560

 

The following shows the components of distributable earnings (losses) on a federal income tax basis at March 31, 2022:

  2022
Distributable earnings/(losses):  
Undistributed ordinary income $ 11,741,299
Undistributed long-term capital gains 201,500,797
Net unrealized appreciation 3,046,380,125
Total $3,259,622,221

 

Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report 3/31/22 37

 

D.Fund Shares

The Fund records sales and repurchases of its shares as of trade date. The Distributor earned $97,788 in underwriting commissions on the sale of Class A shares during the year ended March 31, 2022.

E.Class Allocations

Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated at the Fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on its respective percentage of adjusted net assets at the beginning of the day.

Distribution fees are calculated based on the average daily net asset value attributable to Class A, Class C and Class R shares of the Fund, respectively (see Note 5). Class K and Class Y shares do not pay distribution fees. All expenses and fees paid to the Fund's transfer agent for its services are allocated among the classes of shares based on the number of accounts in each class and the ratable allocation of related out-of-pocket expenses (see Note 4).

Distributions to shareowners are recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions paid by the Fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner and at the same time, except that net investment income dividends to Class A, Class C, Class K, Class R and Class Y shares can reflect different transfer agent and distribution expense rates.

F.Risks

The value of securities held by the Fund 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, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inflation, changes in interest rates, armed conflict including Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Interest rates are very low, which means there is more risk that they may go up. The U.S. Federal Reserve has recently started to raise certain interest rates. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities and could also result in increased redemptions from the Fund. Rates of inflation have recently risen. The value of assets or income from an investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the Fund’s distributions.

38 Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report 3/31/22

 

 

The global pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Global financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time, and may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments. Following Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities have lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future geopolitical or other events or conditions.

Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time.

At times, the Fund’s investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, making the Fund more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors.

Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In response to the military action by Russia, various countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, and European Union issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Since then, Russian securities have lost all, or nearly all, their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have been adversely affected. The United States and other countries may impose sanctions on other countries, companies and individuals in light of Russia’s military invasion. The extent and duration of the military action or future escalation of such hostilities, the extent and impact of existing and future sanctions, market disruptions and volatility, and the result of any diplomatic negotiations cannot be predicted. These and any related events could have a significant impact on the value and liquidity of certain Fund investments, on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, particularly with respect to securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas, as well as other sectors with exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other countries affected by the invasion, and are likely to have collateral impacts on market sectors globally.

With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. While the Fund’s Adviser has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, limit or mitigate, such cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers to the Fund such as Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., the Fund’s custodian and accounting agent, and DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc., the Fund’s transfer agent. In addition, many beneficial owners of Fund shares hold them through accounts at broker-dealers, retirement platforms and other financial market participants over which neither the Fund nor the Adviser exercises control. Each of these may in turn rely on service providers to them, which are also subject to the risk of cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity failures or breaches at the Adviser or the Fund’s service providers or intermediaries have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund shareowners to effect share purchases, redemptions or exchanges or receive distributions, loss of or unauthorized access to private shareowner information and violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, or additional compliance costs. Such costs and losses may not be covered under any insurance. In addition, maintaining vigilance against cyber-attacks may involve substantial costs over time, and system enhancements may themselves be subject to cyber-attacks.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and tax basis adjustments on common stock.

As of the date of this report, a significant portion of the Fund’s net asset value is attributable to net unrealized capital gains on portfolio securities. If the Fund realizes capital gains in excess of realized capital losses and any available capital loss carryforwards in any fiscal year, it generally will be required to distribute that excess to shareholders. You may receive distributions that are attributable to appreciation that was present in the Fund’s portfolio securities at the time you made your investment but had not been realized at that time, or that are attributable to capital gains or other income that, although realized by the Fund, had not yet been distributed at the time you made your investment. Unless you purchase shares through a tax-advantaged account (such as an IRA or 401(k) plan), these distributions will be taxable to you. You should consult your tax adviser about the tax consequences of your investment in the Fund.

The Fund’s prospectus contains unaudited information regarding the Fund’s principal risks. Please refer to that document when considering the Fund’s principal risks.

2. Management Agreement

The Adviser manages the Fund’s portfolio. Management fees payable under the Fund’s Investment Management Agreement with the Adviser are calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion, 0.60% of the next $6.5 billion of the Fund’s average daily net assets and 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net assets over $7.5 billion. For the year ended March 31, 2022, the effective management fee was equivalent to 0.61% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to limit ordinary operating expenses (ordinary operating expenses means all fund expenses other than taxes, brokerage commissions and acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation) of the Fund to the extent required to reduce Fund expenses to 1.09%, 1.40% and 0.83% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class R and Class Y respectively. These expense limitations are in effect through August 1, 2022. There can be no assurance that the Adviser will extend the expense limitation agreement for a class of shares beyond the date referred to above. There were no fees waived and expenses reimbursed during the year ended March 31, 2022. There is no expense limitation arrangement for Class C or Class K.

In addition, under the management and administration agreements, certain other services and costs, including accounting, regulatory reporting and insurance premiums, are paid by the Fund as administrative reimbursements. Included in “Due to affiliates” reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $327,783 in management fees, administrative costs and certain other reimbursements payable to the Adviser at March 31, 2022.

3. Compensation of Trustees and Officers

The Fund pays an annual fee to its Trustees. The Adviser reimburses the Fund for fees paid to the Interested Trustees. The Fund does not pay any salary or other compensation to its officers. For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund paid $320,611 in Trustees' compensation, which is reflected on Statement of Operations as Trustees' fees. At March 31, 2022, the Fund had a payable for Trustees' fees on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities of $0.

Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report 3/31/22 41

 

4. Transfer Agent

For the period from April 1, 2021 to November 21, 2021, DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc. served as the transfer agent to the Fund at negotiated rates. Effective November 22, 2021, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. serves as the transfer agent to the Fund at negotiated rates. Transfer agent fees and payables shown on the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively, include sub-transfer agent expenses incurred through the Fund’s omnibus relationship contracts.

In addition, the Fund reimbursed the transfer agent for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the transfer agent related to shareowner communications activities such as proxy and statement mailings, and outgoing phone calls. For the year ended March 31, 2022, such out-of-pocket expenses by class of shares were as follows:

Shareowner Communications:  
Class A $ 97,730
Class C 18,134
Class K 20,257
Class R 3,571
Class Y 105,749
Total $245,441

 

5. Distribution and Service Plans

The Fund has adopted a distribution plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to its Class A, Class C and Class R shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class A shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund also pays the Distributor 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. The fee for Class C shares consists of a 0.25% service fee and a 0.75% distribution fee paid as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class C shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund further pays the Distributor 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares for distribution services. Included in “Due to affiliates” reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $172,754 in distribution fees payable to the Distributor at March 31, 2022.

The Fund also has adopted a separate service plan for Class R shares (“Service Plan”). The Service Plan authorizes the Fund to pay securities dealers, plan administrators or other service organizations that agree to

42 Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report 3/31/22

 

provide certain services to retirement plans or plan participants holding shares of the Fund a service fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares held by such plans.

In addition, redemptions of Class A and Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). A CDSC of 1.00% may be imposed on redemptions of certain net asset value purchases of Class A shares within 12 months of purchase. Redemptions of Class C shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a CDSC of 1.00%, based on the lower of cost or market value of shares being redeemed. Shares purchased as part of an exchange remain subject to any CDSC that applied to the original purchase of those shares. There is no CDSC for Class K, Class R or Class Y shares. Proceeds from the CDSCs are paid to the Distributor. For the year ended March 31, 2022, CDSCs in the amount of $10,924 were paid to the Distributor.

6. Line of Credit Facility

The Fund, along with certain other funds in the Pioneer Family of Funds, participates in a committed, unsecured revolving line of credit (“credit facility”). Borrowings are used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of the amount available under the credit facility or the limits set for borrowing by the Fund’s prospectus and the 1940 Act. Effective February 2, 2022, the Fund participates in a facility in the amount of $380 million. Prior to February 2, 2022, the Fund participated in a facility in the amount of $450 million. Under such facility, depending on the type of loan, interest on borrowings is payable at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a credit spread. The Fund also pays both an upfront fee and an annual commitment fee to participate in the credit facility. The upfront fee in the amount of 0.10% of the total credit facility and the commitment fee in the amount of 0.25% of the daily unused portion of each lender's commitment are allocated among participating funds based on an allocation schedule set forth in the credit agreement. For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund had no borrowings under the credit facility.

7. In-Kind Redemption

In accordance with guidelines described in a Fund’s prospectus and in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board, a Fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of Fund shares (“in-kind redemption”). For financial reporting purposes, the Fund recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain/(loss) to paid-in capital. During the year ended March 31, 2022, the

Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report 3/31/22 43

 

Fund recorded a redemption in-kind of portfolio securities and cash that was valued at $118,841,723. The redeeming shareholder received a pro-rata share of the securities held by the Fund. The distribution of such securities generated a realized gain of $50,377,738 for the Fund, which is reflected on the Statement Operations.

8. Changes in Custodian and Sub-Administrator, and Transfer Agent

Effective November 22, 2021, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”) serves as the Fund’s Custodian and Sub-Administrator.

Effective November 22, 2021, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. serves as the Fund’s shareholder servicing and transfer agent.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Pioneer Series Trust X and the Shareholders of Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Pioneer Series Trust X (the “Trust”)), including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2022, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting Pioneer Series Trust X) at March 31, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report 3/31/22 45

 

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the Pioneer family of funds since 2017.

PIONEER FUNDS

APPROVAL OF AUDIT, AUDIT-RELATED, TAX AND OTHER SERVICES

PROVIDED BY THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

 

SECTION I - POLICY PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY

 

The Pioneer Funds recognize the importance of maintaining the independence of their outside auditors. Maintaining independence is a shared responsibility involving Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., the audit committee and the independent auditors.

 

The Funds recognize that a Fund’s independent auditors: 1) possess knowledge of the Funds, 2) are able to incorporate certain services into the scope of the audit, thereby avoiding redundant work, cost and disruption of Fund personnel and processes, and 3) have expertise that has value to the Funds. As a result, there are situations where it is desirable to use the Fund’s independent auditors for services in addition to the annual audit and where the potential for conflicts of interests are minimal. Consequently, this policy, which is intended to comply with Rule 210.2-01(C)(7), sets forth guidelines and procedures to be followed by the Funds when retaining the independent audit firm to perform audit, audit-related tax and other services under those circumstances, while also maintaining independence.

 

Approval of a service in accordance with this policy for a Fund shall also constitute approval for any other Fund whose pre-approval is required pursuant to Rule 210.2-01(c)(7)(ii).

 

In addition to the procedures set forth in this policy, any non-audit services that may be provided consistently with Rule 210.2-01 may be approved by the Audit Committee itself and any pre-approval that may be waived in accordance with Rule 210.2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) is hereby waived.

 

Selection of a Fund’s independent auditors and their compensation shall be determined by the Audit Committee and shall not be subject to this policy.
