Dear Shareholders:

 

First Half 2015 Review

 

The second quarter of 2015 proved to be much like the first quarter in the high yield bond (or “junk bond”) market with mixed returns and commodities driven sectors playing a big role in moving performance. Between an anticipated rise in interest rates, concerns over Greece, and swinging commodity prices, investors in general acted conservatively in the first half of 2015. This cautious sentiment was constructive for the market by keeping investors from taking riskier actions. Despite the volatile start to the year and wary market participants, we continued to have a constructive view of the leveraged credit space and believed that credit fundamentals generally remained positive, default expectations remained considerably below long term averages, and spreads and yields provided better return potential than other fixed income options.

 

Specific to the energy sector, most of the recent oil supply was generally at a higher cost — oil sands, deepwater offshore and some U.S. shale. Oil producers have cut back on capital spending in their 2015 budgets, based on the lower oil prices. Supply around the world remained high as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries did not slow production and geopolitical concerns failed to materially affect producers in riskier areas. All energy credits were negatively affected by lower oil prices; however better-managed and more conservatively financed companies with lower costs, higher quality assets, and higher liquidity had a greater ability to manage through this tough time and perhaps became stronger through strategic opportunities.

 

Our investment strategy continues to be based upon a process that is intended to take specific, targeted credit risk when our analysis indicates a favorable risk reward opportunity, while building a core of improving credits. We made a conscious effort to position the portfolio into higher quality credits and continued to like that positioning as volatility persisted in the market. This increase in quality bias generally benefitted relative performance, especially in the energy and metals and mining sectors and we believe it could position the Pacholder High Yield Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) to perform well if volatility increases in conjunction with the U.S. Federal Reserve indicating that it will move to end its zero interest rate policy.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Fund returned 3.31% based on net asset value (“NAV”) compared to the 2.89% return for the Credit Suisse High Yield Index, Developed Countries Only (the “Index”) and the 3.31% average total return of the Morningstar Closed-End High Yield Category.

 

The Fund outperformed the Index during the reporting period. Contributing to this outperformance was positive security selection in the financial, aerospace, metals/minerals, and energy sectors. On an industry level, an underweight position in the metals/minerals sector and an overweight position to the food and drug sector added to relative returns. Security selection in the retail, utility, food and drug, and gaming/leisure sectors detracted from relative performance. On an industry level, an underweight position in the energy sector and an overweight position in the media/telecom sector weighed on relative returns.

 

Fund Strategy

 

The Fund invests in all types of high-yield, high-risk debt securities and focuses on value by looking at individual securities against the context of broader market factors. The Fund’s portfolio managers monitor investments by staying abreast of positive and negative credit developments and having regular discussions with senior management of issuers of the Fund’s investments.

 

Auction Rate Preferred Shares and Dividends

 

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

 

Due to changes by Moody’s and S&P in their respective ratings methodology for securities issued by closed-end funds, the Fund’s ARPS were downgraded from Aaa to Aa3 by Moody’s in July 2012 and from AAA to AA by S&P in May 2014. There was no impact to the Fund’s performance and no change to its investment strategy as a result of these downgrades.

 

The Fund paid a monthly dividend of $0.053 per common share starting in September 2014 until March 2015. In March 2015, the Board of Trustees of the Fund authorized a reduction in the monthly dividend amount from $0.053 per common share to $0.050 per common share. The Board of Directors will continue to monitor the appropriateness of the dividend level going forward in light of market conditions and income earned by the Fund over time, and there can be no guarantee that the dividend level will continue or that a dividend will be paid at all. The amount of the monthly dividend, if any, may be more or less than the actual income earned by the Fund in a given month.

 

As always, we appreciate your interest in the Fund and look forward to your continued support.

 

Sincerely,

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

 

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

 

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

 

Opinions and estimates offered constitute our judgment and are subject to change without notice, as are statements of financial market trends, which are based on current market conditions. We believe the information provided here is reliable, but do not warrant its accuracy or completeness. This material is not intended as an offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale of any financial instrument. The views and strategies described may not be suitable for all investors.

Dividends and distributions are assumed, for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan.

(5)   

Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset values for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and the returns for common stockholder transactions.

(6)   

Ratios do not include the effect of dividends to preferred stock.

(7)   

See Note 5 in the Notes to Financial Statements.

(8)   

Includes earnings credits and interest expense, if applicable, each of which is less than 0.01% unless otherwise noted.

(9)   

Ratios calculated relative to the average net assets of both common and preferred stockholders.

(10)   

Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.

(11)   

Ratios calculated relative to the average net assets of common stockholders only.

(12)   

Portfolio turnover is calculated by dividing the lesser of total purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the reporting period by the monthly average value of portfolio securities owned during the reporting period. Excluded from both the numerator and denominator are amounts relating to derivatives and securities whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition were one year or less.

(13)   

Calculated by subtracting the Fund’s total liabilities (not including the preferred stock) from the Fund’s total assets, and dividing this by the number of preferred shares outstanding.

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

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  A.   SECURITY VALUATIONS — The valuation of the investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Fund’s valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at such unadjusted quoted prices and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

 

JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator” or “JPMFM”) has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Fund’s investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Fund. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight, including but not limited to consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

 

A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Fund’s investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by approved pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Board. This may include related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used, had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material.

 

Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from Pricing Services. The Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine the valuation of fixed income instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which trades or quotes from market makers are used to determine the valuation of these instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist, the Pricing Services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values.

 

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Fund are calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

 

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

 

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

 

• Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

• Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

• Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

 

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

 

See the table on “Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements” for information on the valuation techniques and inputs used to value Level 3 securities held by the Fund at June 30, 2015.

#   The table above does not include Level 3 securities that are valued by brokers and pricing services. At June 30, 2015, the value of these securities was $558,828. The inputs for these securities are not readily available or cannot be reasonably estimated and are generally those inputs described in Note 2A. The appropriateness of fair values for these securities is monitored on an ongoing basis which may include results of back testing, unchanged price review, results of broker and vendor due diligence and consideration of macro or security specific events.
(a)   

Represents amounts used when the reporting entity has determined that market participants would take into account such multiples when pricing the investments.

(b)   

Represents amounts used when the reporting entity has determined that market participants would take into account discounts, as applicable, when pricing the investments.

(c)   

Securities senior to the preferred securities in issuing entity capital structure result in preferred stock being valued at zero.

 

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s investments are listed above. Generally, a change in the assumptions used in any input in isolation may be accompanied by a change in another input. Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs may significantly impact the fair value measurement. The impact is based on the relationship between each unobservable input and the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in enterprise multiples may increase (decrease) the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount for lack of marketability, liquidity discount, probability of default, yield, and default rate may decrease (increase) the fair value measurement. A significant change in the prepayment rate (Constant Prepayment Rate or PSA Prepayment Model) may decrease or increase the fair value measurement. A significant change in broker pricing information could result in a significantly higher or lower value in such Level 3 instruments.

 

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

 

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

 

Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of June 30, 2015, no liability for income tax is required in the Fund’s financials statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

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

 

The Fund did not retain any investment company taxable income and/or net capital gains.

 

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

 

  C.   SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend.

 

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

 

  E.   LOAN ASSIGNMENTS — The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Fund may invest in loan assignments of all or a portion of the loans. When the Fund purchases a loan assignment, the Fund has direct rights against the borrower on a loan when it purchases an assignment; provided, however, the Fund’s rights may be more limited than the lender from which they acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower (“Intermediate Participants”) and any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the Borrower. Although certain loan assignments are secured by collateral, the Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing on such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the obligor. In addition, loan assignments are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for assignments and certain assignments which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid.

 

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

 

At June 30, 2015, the Fund did not have any outstanding unfunded loan commitments.

 

2.   COMMON STOCK — At June 30, 2015, there were 49,996,320 shares of common stock with a $0.01 par value authorized and 12,996,610 outstanding. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Fund did not issue any shares of common stock in connection with its dividend reinvestment plan. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Fund issued 1,313 shares of common stock in connection with its dividend reinvestment plan.

3.   PREFERRED STOCK — On June 29, 2001, the Fund issued shares of Series W Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock (“ARPS”) at an offering price of $25,000 per share. Dividends on these shares are paid weekly at an annual rate determined by a weekly auction or, in the absence of a successful auction, at a maximum rate as calculated in accordance with the Fund’s Articles Supplementary for Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock. In general, the holders of the ARPS and the common stock vote together as a single class, except that the ARPS stockholders, as a separate class, vote to elect two members of the Board. The ARPS have a liquidation value of $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. At June 30, 2015, accrued ARPS dividends were $1,343.

 

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

 

The weekly auction for the ARPS issued by the Fund has failed since February 13, 2008, due to insufficient demand (bids to buy shares) to meet supply (shares offered for sale) at the auction. Holders of ARPS who wish to sell in an auction will not be able to do so until there is a successful auction with sufficient demand for the shares. Failed auctions are not considered a default by the Fund and do not alter the credit quality of the ARPS. However, failed auctions may increase the cost of the Fund’s leverage and decrease the income available for common stockholders. ARPS holders have continued to receive dividends at the “maximum rate” set on the date of the failed auction, and the liquidation value of $25,000 per share (plus accumulated but unpaid dividends, if any) is unaffected. Based on the rating assigned to the Fund’s ARPS, the maximum rate may range from 150%-275% of the “AA” Financial Composite Commercial Paper Rate as of a given auction date. The maximum rate incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2015, ranged from 0.075% to 0.195%. The maximum rate as of the August 5th, 2015 auction was 0.21%, which is 150% of the “AA” Financial Composite Commercial Paper Rate on that date.

 

4.   PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES — Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended June 30, 2015, aggregated $40,511,940 and $39,710,992, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

 

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

 

Advisory fees for the six months ended June 30, 2015 amounted to $750,368 which calculated to an annualized effective rate of 0.97%. The advisory fee rate calculated for the one month ended June 30, 2015 was a rate of 0.89%.

 

The Fund has an administrative services agreement with JPMFM (an affiliate of JPMIM) pursuant to which the Administrator provides administrative services to the Fund. Under the agreement, the Administrator receives from the Fund a fee, accrued at least weekly and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.10% of the average weekly net assets of the Fund. At June 30, 2015, accrued administrative fees were $9,746.

 

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan serves as the Fund’s sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

The Fund has a Global Custody and Fund Accounting Agreement (the “Agreement”) with JPMCB. For providing custody services under the Agreement, JPMCB is entitled to a fee from the Fund, accrued weekly and paid monthly. For these services, the Fund pays JPMCB transaction and asset based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statement of Operations. Payments to the custodian may be reduced by credits earned by the Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits, if any, are presented separately on the Statement of Operations.

 

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

 

The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Adviser and Administrator waive fees in an amount sufficient to offset the advisory, administration and shareholder servicing fees each charged to the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund. A portion of the waiver is voluntary.

 

The amount of waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $2,129.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

6.   COMPONENTS OF ACCUMULATED EARNINGS (LOSSES)  For Federal income tax purposes, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of the investment securities held at June 30, 2015 were as follows:

 

    June 30,
2015
 

Gross unrealized appreciation on investments

  $ 2,838,154   

Gross unrealized depreciation on investments

    (7,882,407
 

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments

  $ (5,044,253
 

 

 

 

Cost of investments for Federal Tax purposes

  $ 152,488,023   

 

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

 

At December 31, 2014, the Fund had no post-enactment net capital loss carryforwards.

 

At December 31, 2014, the Fund had the following pre-enactment net capital loss carryforwards expiring during the year indicated, which are available to offset future realized gains:

 

  2015        2016        2017        2018        Total   
  $236,490      $ 1,876,547      $ 14,493,773      $ 1,551,726      $ 18,158,536   

 

7.  

RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES  Certain securities held by the Fund may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and/or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Illiquid securities are securities which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately their fair value and include, but are not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the net assets of the Fund. As of June 30, 2015, the Fund had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Fund under

Table of Contents

PACHOLDER HIGH YIELD FUND, INC.

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (concluded)

 

 

  Rule 144A under the Securities Act. At June 30, 2015, the Fund held illiquid securities representing 1.5% of net assets applicable to common stockholders.

 

8.   OTHER  The Fund may use related party broker-dealers. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Fund did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

As of June 30, 2015, the Fund is a party to loan assignments that were transacted with either Citigroup or Morgan Stanley in the normal course of business.

 

The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The Fund invests in floating rate loans and other floating rate debt securities. Although these securities are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate loans and other floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise. Some examples include central bank monetary policy, rising inflation rates and general economic conditions. Given the historically low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.

 

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

 

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

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)

 

 

Portfolio Holdings Information

 

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

 

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

 

Statement of Additional Information

 

The Fund does not make available copies of its Statement of Additional Information because the Fund’s shares are not continuously offered, which means that the Statement of Additional Information has not been updated after completion of the Fund’s offerings and the information contained therein may have become outdated.

 

Proxy Voting

 

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

 

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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