“The period began with a tailwind created by central bank support.”

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Multi-Sector Income Fund for the six-month period that ended April 30, 2020. Global stock markets saw earlier gains erased in February and March as governments took unprecedented measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus at the expense of short-term economic output. Markets rebounded in April to lessen the losses as central banks attempted to bolster capital markets and confidence. Fixed-income markets performed better, with the exception of high-yield bonds, as U.S. bonds overall achieved modest gains.

For the six-month period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,¹ returned -3.16% and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),² fell 13.22%. The MSCI EM Index (Net)³ lost 10.50%. For bond investors, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index⁴ added 4.86%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index⁵ returned -0.97%, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index⁶ returned -1.33%, and the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index⁷ lost 7.68%.

The period began with a tailwind created by central bank support.

The period began with a tailwind that had been created by U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cuts in the summer and early fall. Equity markets rallied in November despite ongoing geopolitical risks. Hopes for a U.S.-China trade deal buoyed investor confidence. U.S. business sentiment edged up, and manufacturing and services activity rose. With that positive backdrop, developed market equities outpaced those in emerging markets, and U.S. stocks outperformed non-U.S. stocks overall. While consumer confidence and purchasing manager activity rose in the eurozone, China reported weakening manufacturing and consumer data. Bond yields rose marginally, leading to slightly negative returns for global government and investment-grade corporate bonds.

Financial markets ended 2019 with a boost from the U.S. and China accord on a Phase One trade deal. That, along with the landslide win by the pro-Brexit U.K. Conservative Party in a national election and ongoing central bank support, gave investors greater confidence. U.S. economic indicators were positive overall, with the exception of manufacturing activity and business confidence. Consumer confidence was resilient, fed by a robust labor market, tame inflation, and lower interest rates, which boosted housing affordability and stimulated homebuyer activity. The impeachment of U.S. President Donald Trump had little impact on markets. Meanwhile, slowing Chinese economic activity, partly attributable to the trade war, led to further government stimulus at year-end through lower reserve ratios, allowing banks to lend more money.

The year-end rally continued in early January 2020. However, capital market volatility spiked in late January on concerns over the potential impact of the coronavirus on the

global economy and stock markets. With sentiment somewhat souring, perceived safe havens did well in January. The U.S. dollar and Japanese yen both rose, and government bonds outperformed equities. While the S&P 500 Index held its ground, emerging market equities tumbled, including those in Asia.

In February, the coronavirus became the major market focus. Fears of the virus’s impact on global growth led to expectations of increased global central bank monetary policy support. That led the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to fall to an all-time low of 1.1% by the end of the month. Although equity markets initially shrugged off concerns about the outbreak, focusing instead on strong fourth-quarter earnings and improving business confidence in January, market sentiment turned sharply lower toward month-end. Oil prices tumbled as Russia and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries compounded a major decline in oil demand with a brutal price war, causing the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil to fall 13% in February alone.

The global spread of the coronavirus led many countries to clamp down on social and business-related activity in order to contain the virus from causing even greater devastation and overwhelming the health care system. This abrupt stoppage of economic activity led to the sharp deceleration of global output, sending economies into a deep contraction. Central bank responses were swift, as they slashed interest rates and expanded quantitative easing programs to restore liquidity and confidence to the markets. In the U.S., the Fed launched several lending programs, funding investment-grade bonds, money market mutual funds, and commercial paper while purchasing Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, and overnight repurchase agreements. Meanwhile, stock markets tumbled quickly into a bear market, ending the longest bull stock market in U.S. history.

Markets rebounded strongly in April after the extreme volatility of the previous two months, with the S&P 500 Index gaining 12.8% for the month and the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) returning 7.6%. The rebound was fueled by unprecedented stimulus measures taken by governments and central banks to buffer the economic damage created by mass shutdowns to try to contain the virus’s spread. The U.S. economy contracted by an annualized 4.8% pace in the first quarter, with 30 million new unemployment insurance claims in six weeks. In the eurozone, first-quarter real gross domestic product (GDP) shrank 3.8%, with the composite April Flash Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey of purchasing managers, falling to an all-time low of 13.5. The European Central Bank expanded its quantitative easing to include the purchase of additional government bonds of countries with the greatest virus-related need, including Italy and Spain. China’s first-quarter GDP fell by 6.8% year over year. However, retail sales, production, and investment showed signs of recovery. Extreme oil price volatility continued as global supply far exceeded demand.

Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.

Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.

Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.

Sincerely,

Andrew Owen

Comparison of NAV vs. market value⁹

The Fund is leveraged through a revolving credit facility and also may incur leverage by issuing preferred shares in the future. The use of leverage results in certain risks, including, among others, the likelihood of greater volatility of the net asset value and the market value of common shares. Foreign investments are especially volatile and can rise or fall dramatically due to differences in the political and economic conditions of the host country. These risks are generally intensified in emerging markets. Derivatives involve additional risks, including interest rate risk, credit risk, the risk of improper valuation, and the risk of non-correlation to the relevant instruments that they are designed to hedge or closely track. Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. The Fund is exposed to mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk. This closed-end fund is no longer available as an initial public offering and is only offered through broker/dealers on the secondary market. A closed-end fund is not required to buy back its shares from investors upon request.

MANAGERS’ DISCUSSION    

The Fund’s return based on market value was -16.73% for the six-month period that ended April 30, 2020. During the same period, the Fund’s return based on its net asset value (NAV) was -11.21%. Based on its NAV based returns, the Fund underperformed the Multi-Sector Income Blended Index, which returned -6.02% for the six-month period.

Tumultuous period led to wide-scale investment losses.

The reporting period covered a tumultuous period in international markets, with the slow grind of 2019 morphing into a dramatic economic collapse in the first quarter of 2020 as several market-moving events hit at once. The spread of the coronavirus caused cascading economic and societal shutdowns. Oil prices nosedived in the wake of a Saudi Arabia-Russia disagreement on production targets. Finally, a global shortage of U.S. dollars caused severe dislocations in market pricing and liquidity. These events took a heavy toll on risk assets—including emerging markets—with currencies materially underperforming local-currency bond markets.

There were several changes to the Fund’s positioning within international and emerging market bonds. Thinner valuations and concerns over external accounts prompted a reduction in exposure to Colombia (5.9% decline in exposure), Brazil (-3.8%), and Peru (-4.6%). This allowed increased allocations to sovereign bonds in India (+9.5%) and Romania (+5.2%). Changes to interest rate positioning were echoed at the currency level. Overall duration was reduced as a defensive measure.

The Fund’s international/emerging market return based on market value was -8.19% for the six-month period that ended April 30, 2020.

During the period, high-yield bonds returned -7.69% (as measured by the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Constrained Index) with a positive return in three months through January 2020 followed by a decline in February and a fall of more than 11.5% in March and a mild rebound in April. Spread widening over the period more than offset a decline in Treasury yields and the yield on the index increased. Not surprisingly in this risk-off environment, lower-rated bonds underperformed higher-rated high-yield bonds.

For the six-month period, corporate bonds and non-agency securitized sectors significantly underperformed U.S. Treasuries. Spreads in all risk products widened in March as a result of escalating concern over the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic, then retraced a portion of the underperformance in April due to large-scale U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) intervention. Over the period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Bond Index¹⁰ widened 92 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%), underperforming like-duration U.S. Treasuries by 7.20%. The BBB-rated component of the index widened 123 bps, trailing like-duration Treasuries by 9.23%. Securitized sectors delivered mixed performance over the period, with agency mortgage-backed securities tightening 10 bps with 0.22% excess returns (over like-duration Treasuries) driven by massive Fed bond buying in the sector, while credit securitized sectors all materially underperformed like-duration Treasuries. Conduit commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) spreads widened 149 bps, with BBB-rated bonds widening by more than 800 bps. AAA-rated asset-backed securities (ABS) and residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS) sectors widened 118 bps and 160 bps, respectively.

Credit quality as of April 30, 2020¹²

Detractors from performance included high-yield energy credits, emerging market securities, and various securitized sectors.

Energy exploration and production, cable/satellite, oil-field services, midstream, and media/entertainment were the largest detractors from performance. Longer-dated and lower-rated credits, as discussed above, underperformed.

Emerging market currencies struggled over the reporting period. Exposure to the Brazilian real, Mexican peso, and South African rand were drags on performance. Positions in the bond markets of Brazil, Indonesia, Colombia, and South Africa underperformed.

Within securitized sectors, the largest detractor was the Fund’s allocation to subordinate non-agency CMBS. Allocations to non-agency residential MBS and ABS sectors also detracted. Within corporate sectors, the Fund’s overweight to financials and BBB-rated bonds detracted. The Fund’s use of leverage had a negative impact on total return performance during this reporting period.

Contributors to performance were led by high-yield wireless and pharmaceutical issues and select countries.

Wireless, pharmaceuticals, and wireline companies were the largest contributors to performance over the six-month period that ended April 30, 2020. In general, higher-quality and lower-yielding bonds outperformed the broader portfolio.

Exposure to the bond markets of Malaysia, Mexico, India, and Russia added value as yields fell. The Malaysian ringgit held its ground versus the U.S. dollar better than its emerging market peers, and exposure added to performance.

Within securitized sectors, out-of-benchmark holdings in agency collateralized mortgage obligations and MBS were small contributors. In corporate sectors, an overweight to industrials and utilities also contributed.

The Fund’s management teams see a mix of concerns, risks, and opportunities.

Going into 2020, the market was supported by solid and consistent gross domestic product growth, lack of aggressive issuance over the past several years, and a relatively low default rate. As a result, spreads were tighter than long-term averages as they generally have been over the past few years. However, as is often the case, these periods of calm end with an unexpected surprise.

This January, the surprise came in the form of the coronavirus. The reaction to the spread of the coronavirus has raised fears that consumer behavior will be altered, resulting in a global economic recession. To the extent that consumers and businesses adjust their behavior to avoid social interaction whether by shelter-in-place orders or by many individual decisions, the more likely that economic activity slows. Indeed, this behavior can be self-reinforcing as slower economic activity reduces personal income, which can further reduce demand. In response, the government and central banks have engaged in unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus. At this point, there is significant uncertainty regarding the length and severity of the health crisis and the medium- to long-term impact of the stimulus and money printing. Most, if not all, businesses have been affected by the virus and most have been hurt. However, with the large economic stimulus, liquidity is available for those companies that investors believe are solvent. For example, net issuance in the high-yield bond market in April was $37.7 billion, the third-largest month on record.

The high-yield bond market, which has a meaningful exposure to the energy sector, was also hurt by a poorly timed oil price war, leading Saudi Arabia to significantly increase production at a time of a coronavirus-induced demand shock. This led to a significant fall in oil prices and energy bond prices. More recently, Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries has agreed to supply reductions, which we believe will gradually reduce the oversupply of oil and help the recovery in energy bond prices.

The Fund’s high-yield bond management team expects more volatility as market expectations for the length and severity of the shelter-in-place orders, changes in behavior, recession probabilities, and individual company results vary through the year. Ultimately, the team is optimistic that life will return to “normal” ideally as a result of a cure or vaccine, and at that point the team would expect the high-yield and equity markets to return to long-term trading levels.

The Fund’s international and emerging market bond sleeve management team sees a highly uncertain global outlook, with investors and governments alike revising forecasts daily and working with assumptions that are close to ethereal. It appears that increased accommodation from central banks and governments is here to stay. Emerging market yield curves have steepened materially as lower short-term rates and increased longer-term issuance collide. Sustained gains on emerging market currencies would likely need equity markets to find a floor and start to recover. Renewed U.S.-China frictions pose a material risk to the already poor global economic outlook.

While there is still substantial uncertainty regarding the pace and extent to which the U.S. economy will begin to open, the Fund’s mortgage/corporate bond sleeve management team believes that current valuations in certain corporate and securitized sectors reflect overly pessimistic outcomes and represent attractive risk-adjusted opportunities. Within securitized sectors, the team sees value in certain CMBS securities collateralized by property types likely to withstand the current economic downturn. They also see opportunities in residential MBS and ABS securities where structural enhancements make credit losses unlikely.

The mortgage/corporate bond sleeve has an overweight allocation to credit due to historically attractive valuations that compensate for a wide range of downside scenarios. While spread recovery may take time to realize, adding credit opportunistically at current levels has historically resulted in very good long-term returns.

The management team continues to favor financials over industrials within the mortgage/corporate bond segment, given the former’s favorable fundamentals and the latter’s higher leverage levels. Lower event risk in the financial space is also favorable.

Utilities have lagged this year due to deteriorating credit metrics, elevated issuance, and ongoing regulatory risks, and this may present a pocket of opportunity. The taxable municipal sector is beginning to look a bit more attractive following market dislocations.

Approximately 64% of the mortgage/corporate sleeve’s exposure is in corporate credit and around 36% is in fixed-rate and floating-rate mortgage securities. The largest industry exposures in the credit sector include insurance, energy, banking, and technology companies.

¹² The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and/or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the Fund’s portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the total market value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. If a security was rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by two of three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.

¹³  Amounts are calculated based on the fixed income securities held by the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.

¹⁴  Amounts are calculated based on the total long-term investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

Wells Fargo Multi-Sector Income Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a statutory trust under the laws of the state of Delaware on April 10, 2003 and is registered as a diversified closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities valuation

All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.

Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.

Equity securities that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price. If no sale occurs on the principal exchange or market that day, a fair value price will be determined in accordance with the Fund’s Valuation Procedures.

The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee at Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”).

Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee. The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee which may include items for ratification.

Foreign currency translation

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are converted at the rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually paid or received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities resulting from changes in exchange rates. The changes in net assets arising from changes in exchange rates of securities and the changes in net assets resulting from changes in market prices of securities are not separately presented. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

When-issued transactions

The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

Loans

The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders by corporate or other borrowers. The loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. Investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. When the Fund purchases participations, it generally has no rights to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan and may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. Loans may include fully funded term loans or unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding.

Security transactions and income recognition

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.

Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status. Paydown gains and losses are included in interest income.

Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.

Income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.

Distributions to shareholders

Under a managed distribution plan, the Fund pays distributions to shareholders at an annual minimum fixed rate of 9% based on the Fund’s average monthly net asset value per share over the prior 12 months. The monthly distributions may be sourced from income, paid-in capital, and/or capital gains, if any. To the extent that sufficient investment income is not available on a monthly basis, the Fund may distribute paid-in capital and/or capital gains, if any, in order to maintain its managed distribution level.

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and any net realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.

Federal and other taxes

The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.

The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

As of April 30, 2020, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $517,940,796 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:

Gross unrealized gains	$	10,940,011
Gross unrealized losses		(71,889,081	)
Net unrealized losses	$	(60,949,070	)

As of October 31, 2019, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consist of $11,587,736 in short-term capital losses and $13,265,614 in long-term capital losses.

3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to

Wells Fargo Multi-Sector Income Fund  |  35

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:

∎ Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

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

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of April 30, 2020:

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

The loan obligations in the Level 3 table were valued using indicative broker quotes. These indicative broker quotes are considered Level 3 inputs. Quantitative unobservable inputs used by the brokers are often proprietary and not provided to the Fund and therefore the disclosure that would address these inputs is not included above.

The Fund has authorized capital of 100,000,000 shares with no par value. For the six months ended April 30, 2020 and the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund did not issue any shares.

On November 22, 2019, the Fund announced a renewal of its open-market share repurchase program (the “Buyback Program”). Under the Buyback Program, the Fund is authorized to repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding shares in open-market transactions beginning on January 1, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2020. The Fund’s Board of Trustees delegated to Funds Management full discretion to administer the Buyback Program, including the determination of the amount and timing of repurchases in accordance with the best interests of the Fund and subject to applicable legal limitations. During the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Fund purchased 493,150 of its shares on the open-market at a total cost of $4,935,965 (weighted average price per share of $9.99). The weighted average discount of these repurchased shares was 10.32%.

6. BORROWINGS

The Fund has borrowed $125,500,000 through a revolving credit facility administered by a major financial institution (the “Facility”). The Facility has a commitment amount of $173,000,000 with no specific contract expiration date but the Facility can be terminated upon 180 days’ notice. The Fund is charged interest at London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.65% and a commitment fee of 0.30% of the average daily unutilized amount of the commitment which may be waived if the amount drawn on the Facility is over 75% of the committed amount. The financial institution holds a security interest in all the assets of the Fund as collateral for the borrowing. Based on the nature of the terms of the Facility and comparative market rates, the carrying amount of the borrowings at April 30, 2020 approximates its fair value. If measured at fair value, the borrowings would be categorized as a Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.

During the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Fund had average borrowings outstanding of $161,406,593 (on an annualized basis) at an average interest rate of 2.76% and paid interest in the amount of $2,216,133 which represents 1.17% of its average daily net assets.

7. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended April 30, 2020 were $76,717,530 and $110,683,443, respectively.

8. INDEMNIFICATION

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 updates the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by modifying or removing certain disclosures and adding certain new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management has adopted the removal and modification of disclosures early, as permitted, and will adopt the additional new disclosures at the effective date.

10. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are adversely affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may be short term or may last for an extended period of time. The risk of further spreading of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets. The value of the Fund and the securities in which the Fund invests have generally been adversely affected by impacts caused by COVID-19.

11. SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTIONS

The Fund declared the following distributions to common shareholders:

Declaration date	Record date	Payable date	Per share amount
April 24, 2020	May 12, 2020	June 1, 2020	$0.09816
May 28, 2020	June 15, 2020	July 1, 2020	0.09664

These distributions are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

Automatic dividend reinvestment plan

AUTOMATIC DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

All common shareholders are eligible to participate in the Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“the Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, unless a common shareholder is ineligible or elects otherwise, all cash dividends and capital gains distributions are automatically reinvested by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as agent for shareholders in administering the Plan (“Plan Agent”), in additional common shares of the Fund. Whenever the Fund declares an ordinary income dividend or a capital gain dividend (collectively referred to as “dividends”) payable either in shares or in cash, nonparticipants in the Plan will receive cash, and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common shares. The shares are acquired by the Plan Agent for the participant’s account, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized common shares from the Fund (“newly issued common shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding common shares on the open-market (open-market purchases) on the NYSE Amex or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any dividend or distribution, the net asset value per share of the common shares is equal to or less than the market price per common share plus estimated brokerage commissions (“market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the amount of such dividend or distribution in newly issued shares on behalf of the participant. The number of newly issued common shares to be credited to the participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the net asset value per share on the date the shares are issued, provided that the maximum discount from the then current market price per share on the date of issuance may not exceed 5%. If on the dividend payment date the net asset value per share is greater than the market value (“market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participant in open-market purchases. There will be no brokerage charges with respect to shares issued directly by the Fund as a result of dividends or capital gains distributions payable either in shares or in cash. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at P.O. Box 30170, College Station, Texas 77842-3170 or by calling 1-800-730-6001.
