President’s Letter
Dear Shareholders,
On February 13, 2023, Amundi US celebrated the 95th anniversary of Pioneer Fund, the second-oldest mutual fund in the United States. We recognized the anniversary with ringing of the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange, which seemed fitting for this special milestone.
Pioneer Fund was launched on February 13, 1928 by Phil Carret, one of the earliest proponents of value investing and a leading innovator in the asset management industry. Mr. Carret began investing in the 1920s and founded Pioneer Investments (now Amundi US) in 1928, and was one of the first investors to realize he could uncover value through rigorous, innovative, fundamental research techniques.
Consistent with Mr. Carret’s investment approach and employing many of the same techniques utilized in the 1920s, Amundi US's portfolio managers have adapted Mr. Carret’s philosophy to a new age of “active” investing.
The last few years have seen investors face some unprecedented challenges, from a global pandemic that shuttered much of the world’s economy for months, to geopolitical strife, to rising inflation that has reached levels not seen in decades. Now, more than ever, Amundi US believes active management – that is, making active investment decisions across all of our portfolios – can help mitigate risk 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 we believe best meet our investment criteria for our family of funds. Our risk management approach begins with each security under consideration, as we strive to develop a deep understanding of the potential opportunity, while considering any potential risk factors.
Today, as shareholders, 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.

Portfolio Management Discussion  |  10/31/23
In the following interview, Timothy Stanish discusses the factors that affected the performance of Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023. Mr. Stanish, a vice president, a portfolio EVA (economic value added) analyst, and a portfolio manager at Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. (Amundi US), is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, along with John Arege, a vice president and portfolio manager at Amundi US.
Q How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023?
A Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund’s Class A shares returned -1.62% at net asset value during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index (the Russell Index), returned -3.56%. During the same period, the average return of the 397 mutual funds in Morningstar’s Mid-Cap Value Funds category was -1.15%.
Q How did the US equity market perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023?
A While 12-month returns for the most widely followed large-cap equity indices were strongly positive, mid-cap value stocks, as measured by the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Index, finished the period in negative territory. Generally speaking, broader equity-market returns featured outsized gains for a handful of mega-cap technology companies, particularly stocks of companies investors anticipated could benefit from the growth of artificial intelligence (AI). Performance outside that narrow group of stocks was mixed, however, with weaker returns lower down on the market-capitalization spectrum. During the 12-month period, stocks of mid- and smaller-sized companies were more adversely affected by slower economic growth and the effect that rising interest rates had on funding costs. Notably, only two of the 11 sectors in the Russell Index – industrials and energy – logged positive returns. All other sectors finished the 12-month period with negative performance, with consumer staples and health care stocks generating the worst returns (each sector posted double-digit losses).
4Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/23


Q Could you discuss some of the investment decisions that influenced the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023?
A Stock selection and sector allocation results both contributed positively to the Fund’s benchmark-relative returns for the 12-month period. With respect to the former, stock selection results outpaced the benchmark’s components in nine of the 11 sectors. The best benchmark-relative returns for the Fund came from the industrials, information technology, and utilities sectors. On the other hand, the Fund’s holdings in the financials and real estate sectors lagged the Russell Index. With regard to sector allocation, the largest contributions to the Fund’s relative performance came from overweight positions in the energy and consumer discretionary sectors. As always, bottom-up considerations were our primary focus when determining the Fund’s positioning.
  At the individual stock level, a position in power-management company Eaton was the leading positive contributor to the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance in both the industrials sector, and overall, during the 12-month period. We had added the stock to the portfolio based on our belief that Eaton’s management team’s plan to sell the company’s lower-return businesses would help unlock value, and that the potential benefits of the strategy were not being recognized by the market. The stock, which was trading at a discounted valuation when we added it to the Fund's portfolio, subsequently rallied as investors came to appreciate the story. Positions in Ingersoll Rand and AerCap also contributed positively to the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance in the industrials sector.
  Another top performer for the Fund versus the benchmark during the 12-month period was brewer Molson Coors. The company was able to offset the effects of inflation through price increases, and its sales growth rose as consumers gradually switched from Bud Light to Coors Light. A number of energy stocks also contributed positively to the Fund’s relative returns, including Range Resources, a natural gas exploration company, which outperformed during the period due to better-than-expected production, robust cash flows, and an attractive valuation versus its industry peers. Finally, a position in homebuilder Lennar was a notable positive contributor to the Fund’s benchmark-relative results, as the company benefited from the strong demand for
Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/235


  new housing during a time in which high mortgage rates led to a reduced supply of existing homes for sale.
  On the negative side, positions in regional banks Citizens Financial, Truist Financial, Regions Financial, and Zions Bancorp were notable detractors from the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance during the 12-month period. Shares of regional banks fell sharply following the failure of multiple financial institutions in the spring of 2023. In addition, investors grew concerned that depositors would move cash from low-yielding bank products into money market funds, possibly creating a liquidity crisis, given that rising interest rates were creating losses in banks’ bond portfolios. While we sold Zions, the other regional bank positions remained in the portfolio as of period-end, based on our belief that the quality of their deposit franchises was solid and their stock prices were undervalued.
  Outside of the financials sector, a position in aluminum producer Alcoa was a key detractor from the Fund’s relative returns for the period. Although the stock offered an attractive valuation, its shares lost ground due to delays in the company’s plans to open a new mine in Australia, and on concerns about the effect China’s weaker-than-expected economic growth would have on metals producers. We retained the Fund’s position on the belief that the issue with Alcoa’s Australian mine could be resolved, and that the supply-and-demand picture for aluminum could become more positive. Finally, a position in shoe retailer Foot Locker detracted from the Fund’s performance versus the Russell Index during the period. Negative factors driving Foot Locker’s stock price lower included the company’s reducing earnings guidance and the headwinds facing the retail sector in general. Believing the shares were likely to remain under pressure, we sold the Fund’s position.
Q Did the Fund have any exposure to derivative securities during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023?
A No, the Fund had no exposure to derivatives during the period.
6Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/23


Q How would you characterize your broader thinking as of October 31, 2023, and how was the Fund positioned as of period-end?
A The uneven performance of mid-cap value stocks during the 12-month period provided us with an opportunity to shift the portfolio’s positioning over the course of the year. Most notably, we reduced the Fund’s allocation to the industrials sector. We had built up the position in the sector during the second half of 2022, when we had identified a number of stocks we viewed as undervalued. Several of those holdings eventually reached what we considered to be their full valuations, prompting us to sell or reduce a number of the Fund's positions. We also moved the Fund to an underweight allocation (versus the Russell Index) in the consumer discretionary sector, while maintaining an underweight to the information technology sector, due to elevated valuations.
  On the other hand, we increased the Fund’s weightings in the health care and consumer staples sectors. In the former sector, companies the market expects to lose business due to the advent of GLP-1 (drug) treatments for both diabetes and weight loss have underperformed significantly. We believe the market’s reaction regarding many of those companies has been exaggerated, causing their share prices to dip to attractive valuation levels. Similarly, a broad range of consumer staples stocks have fallen to what we regard as compelling valuations due to weak returns in the sector for the year to date (through October 31). In our view, the stable earnings generated by many companies in the consumer staples sector are now being ignored by the market, which has led to undervaluation of their stock prices.
  Overall, the shifts in the Fund’s positioning reflect our belief that, while value was most prevalent in the so-called cyclical sectors a year ago, interesting opportunities have since begun to emerge in the more defensive areas of the market. The financials and energy sectors also remain notable benchmark-relative overweights in the portfolio, as we have continued to find what we view as favorable valuations in both segments.

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments on pages 18  - 23  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, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other government actions, or adverse investor sentiment. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.
Investments in mid-sized companies may offer the potential for higher returns, but are also subject to greater short-term price fluctuations than larger, more established companies.
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 REIT securities, the value of which can fall for a variety of reasons, such as declines in rental income, fluctuating interest rates, poor property management, environmental liabilities, uninsured damage, increased competition, or changes in real estate tax laws.
The market price of securities may fluctuate when interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the prices of fixed income securities in the Fund will generally fall. Conversely, when interest rates fall, the prices of fixed income securities in the Fund will generally rise.

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  |  10/31/23
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of securities consisting primarily of common stocks.
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 Fund 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 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
Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/2333


through December 31, 2023. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 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 required to comply with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which governs the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 permits funds to enter into derivatives transactions (as defined in Rule 18f-4) and certain other transactions notwithstanding the restrictions on the issuance of “senior securities” under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. Rule 18f-4 requires a fund to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, appoint a derivatives risk manager and comply with a relative or absolute limit on fund leverage risk calculated based on value-at-risk (“VaR”), unless the fund uses derivatives in only a limited manner (a "limited derivatives user"). The Fund is currently a limited derivatives user for purposes of Rule 18f-4.
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.
34Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/23


  Shares of open-end registered investment companies (including money market mutual funds) are valued at such funds’ net asset value.
  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. The Adviser is designated as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Adviser’s fair valuation team is responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair valued securities.
  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 Adviser 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.
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.
Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/2335


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 October 31, 2023, 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.
  A portion of the dividend income recorded by the Fund is from distributions by publicly traded real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), and such distributions for tax purposes may also consist of capital gains and return of capital. The actual return of capital and capital gains portions of such distributions will be determined by formal notifications from the REITs subsequent to the calendar year-end. Distributions received from the REITs that are determined to be a return of capital are recorded by the Fund as a reduction of the cost basis of the securities held and those determined to be capital gain are reflected as such on the Statement of Operations.
  At October 31, 2023, the Fund reclassified $197,487 to decrease distributable earnings and $197,487 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 October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, was as follows:
  2023 2022
Distributions paid from:    
Ordinary income $10,765,814 $ 4,854,928
Long-term capital gains 69,688,457 97,344,985
Total $ 80,454,271 $102,199,913
36Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/23


The following shows the components of distributable earnings (losses) on a federal income tax basis at October 31, 2023:
  2023
Distributable earnings/(losses):  
Undistributed ordinary income $ 7,904,418
Undistributed long-term capital gains 36,736,233
Net unrealized appreciation 30,563,451
Total $75,204,102
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and tax basis adjustments on real estate investment trust (REIT) holdings.
D. Fund Shares
  The Fund records sales and repurchases of its shares as of trade date. The Distributor earned $16,118 in underwriting commissions on the sale of Class A shares during the year ended October 31, 2023.
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,
Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/2337


  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. Inflation and interest rates have increased and may rise further. These circumstances could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments and negatively impact the Fund's performance.
  The long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent variants on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced or may experience particularly large losses. Periods of extreme volatility in the financial markets, reduced liquidity of many instruments, increased government debt, inflation, and disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability, may continue for some time. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, 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.
  The U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the U.S. has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. If the political climate between the U.S. and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China were to attempt unification of Taiwan by force, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund's assets may go down.
38Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/23


  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.
  Normally, the Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities of mid-size companies. Compared to large companies, mid-size companies, and the market for their equity securities, may be more sensitive to changes in earnings results and investor expectations, or poor economic or market conditions, including those experienced during a recession, have more limited product lines, operating histories, markets or capital resources, may be dependent upon a limited management group, experience sharper swings in market values, have limited liquidity, be harder to value or to sell at the times and prices the adviser thinks appropriate, and offer greater potential for gain and loss.
  The Fund’s investments in foreign markets and countries with limited developing markets may subject the Fund to a greater degree of risk than investments in a developed market. These risks include disruptive political or economic conditions, military conflicts and sanctions, terrorism, sustained economic downturns, financial instability, less liquid trading markets, extreme price volatility, currency risks, reduction of government or central bank support, inadequate accounting standards, tariffs, tax disputes or other tax burdens, nationalization or expropriation of assets and the imposition of adverse governmental laws, arbitrary application of laws and regulations or lack of rule of law and investment and repatriation restrictions. Lack of information and less market regulation also may affect the value of these securities. Withholding and other non-U.S. taxes may decrease the Fund’s return. Non-U.S. issuers may be located in parts of the world that have historically been prone to natural disasters. Investing in depositary receipts is subject to many of the same risks as investing directly in non-U.S. issuers. Depositary receipts may involve higher expenses and may trade at a discount (or premium) to the underlying security.
  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
Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/2339


  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, natural gas and food commodities, 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.
  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 may invest in REIT securities, the value of which can fall for a variety of reasons, such as declines in rental income, fluctuating interest rates, poor property management, environmental liabilities, uninsured damage, increased competition, or changes in real estate tax laws.
  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
40Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/23


  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.

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 0.70% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.65% on the next $500 million, 0.625% on the next $3 billion and 0.60% on the excess over $4 billion. The basic fee (fee before performance adjustment) can increase or decrease by a maximum of 0.10% based on the investment performance of the Fund’s Class A shares as compared to the Russell Midcap Value Index. The performance comparison is made for a rolling 36-month period. In addition, the Adviser contractually limits any positive adjustment of the Fund’s management fee to 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets on an annual basis (i.e., to a maximum management fee of 0.80% of average daily net assets after the performance adjustment). For the year ended October 31, 2023, the aggregate performance adjustment resulted in a increase of $435,679 to the basic fee. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective management fee was equivalent to 0.75% 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. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $75,305 in management fees payable to the Adviser at October 31, 2023.

3. Compensation of Officers and Trustees
The Fund pays an annual fee to its Trustees. The Adviser reimburses the Fund for fees paid to the Interested Trustees. Except for the chief compliance officer, the Fund does not pay any salary or other compensation to its officers. The Fund pays a portion of the chief compliance officer's compensation for his services as the Fund's chief compliance officer. Amundi US pays the remaining portion of the chief compliance officer's compensation. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund paid $40,899 in Officers' and Trustees' compensation, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Officers' and Trustees' fees. At October 31, 2023, on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Fund had a payable for Trustees' fees of $3,092 and a payable for administrative expenses of $21,883, which includes the payable for Officers' compensation.
4. Transfer Agent
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 October 31, 2023, such out-of-pocket expenses by class of shares were as follows:
Shareowner Communications:  
Class A $137,151
Class C 3,779
Class K 332
Class R 1,395
Class Y 3,019
Total $145,676
5. Distribution and Service Plans
The Fund has adopted a distribution plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act 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 Fund's 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
42Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/23


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. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $21,920 in distribution fees payable to the Distributor at October 31, 2023.
The Fund also has adopted a separate service plan for Class R shares (the “Service Plan”). The Service Plan authorizes the Fund to pay securities dealers, plan administrators or other service organizations that agree to 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 October 31, 2023, CDSCs in the amount of $768 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. The Fund participates in a credit facility in the amount of $380 million. Under such credit facility, depending on the type of loan, interest on borrowings is payable at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") 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 0.15% of the total credit facility and the commitment fee in the amount of 0.30% 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 facility. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund had no borrowings under the credit facility.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and the Shareholders of Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2023, 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 the Fund at October 31, 2023, 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 Fund’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 Fund 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 Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Fund’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 Fund’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,
44Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/23


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 October 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. 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.

Approval of Renewal of Investment Management Agreement
Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. (“Amundi US”) serves as the investment adviser to Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) pursuant to an investment management agreement between Amundi US and the Fund.  In order for Amundi US to remain the investment adviser of the Fund, the Trustees of the Fund, including a majority of the Fund’s Independent Trustees, must determine annually whether to renew the investment management agreement for the Fund.
The contract review process began in January 2023 as the Trustees of the Fund agreed on, among other things, an overall approach and timeline for the process.  Contract review materials were provided to the Trustees in March 2023, July 2023 and September 2023.  In addition, the Trustees reviewed and discussed the Fund’s performance at regularly scheduled meetings throughout the year, and took into account other information related to the Fund provided to the Trustees at regularly scheduled meetings, in connection with the review of the Fund’s investment management agreement.
In March 2023, the Trustees, among other things, discussed the memorandum provided by Fund counsel that summarized the legal standards and other considerations that are relevant to the Trustees in their deliberations regarding the renewal of the investment management agreement, and reviewed and discussed the qualifications of the investment management teams for the Fund, as well as the level of investment by the Fund’s portfolio managers in the Fund.  In July 2023, the Trustees, among other things, reviewed the Fund’s management fees and total expense ratios, the financial statements of Amundi US and its parent companies, profitability analyses provided by Amundi US, and analyses from Amundi US as to possible economies of scale.  The Trustees also reviewed the profitability of the institutional business of Amundi US as compared to that of Amundi US’s fund management business, and considered the differences between the fees and expenses of the Fund and the fees and expenses of Amundi US’s institutional accounts, as well as the different services provided by Amundi US to the Fund and to the institutional accounts.  The Trustees further considered contract review materials, including additional materials received in response to the Trustees’ request, in September 2023.
At a meeting held on September 19, 2023, based on their evaluation of the information provided by Amundi US and third parties, the Trustees of the Fund, including the Independent Trustees voting separately advised by independent counsel, unanimously approved the renewal of the investment
Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/2347


management agreement for another year.  In approving the renewal of the investment management agreement, the Trustees considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below.  The Trustees did not identify any single factor as the controlling factor in determining to approve the renewal of the agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Fund, taking into account the investment objective and strategy of the Fund.  The Trustees also reviewed Amundi US’s investment approach for the Fund and its research process.  The Trustees considered Amundi US’ integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into its investment research process.  The Trustees considered the resources of Amundi US and the personnel of Amundi US who provide investment management services to the Fund. They also reviewed the amount of non-Fund assets managed by the portfolio managers of the Fund.  They considered the non-investment resources and personnel of Amundi US that are involved in Amundi US’s services to the Fund, including Amundi US’s compliance, risk management, and legal resources and personnel.  The Trustees considered the compliance services being provided to the Fund by Amundi US and how Amundi US has addressed any compliance issues during the past year. The Trustees noted the substantial attention and high priority given by Amundi US’s senior management to the Pioneer Fund complex, including with respect to the increasing regulation to which the Pioneer Funds are subject.
The Trustees considered that Amundi US supervises and monitors the performance of the Fund’s service providers and provides the Fund with personnel (including Fund officers) and other resources that are necessary for the Fund’s business management and operations.  The Trustees also considered that, as administrator, Amundi US is responsible for the administration of the Fund’s business and other affairs.  The Trustees considered that the Fund reimburses Amundi US its pro rata share of Amundi US’s costs of providing administration services to the Pioneer Funds.
Based on these considerations, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services that had been provided by Amundi US to the Fund were satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the investment management agreement.
Performance of the Fund
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Trustees regularly review and discuss throughout the year data prepared by Amundi US and information
48Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/23


comparing the Fund’s performance with the performance of its peer group of funds, as classified by Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar), and with the performance of the Fund’s benchmark index.  They also discuss the Fund’s performance with Amundi US on a regular basis.  The Trustees discussed the Fund’s performance with the Adviser on a more frequent basis in light of the Fund’s unfavorable performance compared to its benchmark index and peers over certain periods.  The Trustees noted Amundi US’s explanation for the Fund’s relative performance and the steps taken by Amundi US to address the Fund’s performance, including enhancing the investment process used for the Fund.  The Trustees’ regular reviews and discussions were factored into the Trustees’ deliberations concerning the renewal of the investment management agreement.
Management Fee and Expenses
The Trustees considered information showing the fees and expenses of the Fund in comparison to the management fees of its peer group of funds as classified by Morningstar and also to the expense ratios of a peer group of funds selected on the basis of criteria determined by the Independent Trustees for this purpose using data provided by Strategic Insight Mutual Fund Research and Consulting, LLC (Strategic Insight), an independent third party.  The peer group comparisons referred to below are organized in quintiles.  Each quintile represents one-fifth of the peer group.  In all peer group comparisons referred to below, first quintile is most favorable to the Fund’s shareowners. The Trustees noted that they separately review and consider the impact of the Fund’s transfer agency and Fund- and Amundi US-paid expenses for sub-transfer agency and intermediary arrangements, and that the results of the most recent such review were considered in the consideration of the Fund’s expense ratio.
The Trustees considered that the Fund’s management fee for the most recent fiscal year was in the third quintile relative to the management fees paid by other funds in its Morningstar category for the comparable period.  The Trustees considered the breakpoints in the management fee schedule and the reduced fee rates above certain asset levels.  The Trustees also noted the impact of the Fund’s performance on the management fee paid by the Fund.  The Trustees considered that the expense ratio of the Fund’s Class Y shares for the most recent fiscal year was in the third quintile relative to its Strategic Insight peer group for the comparable period.  The Trustees considered that the expense ratio of the Fund’s Class A shares for the most recent fiscal year was in the second quintile relative to its Strategic Insight peer group for the comparable period.
The Trustees reviewed management fees charged by Amundi US to institutional and other clients, including publicly offered European funds
Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/2349


sponsored by Amundi US’s affiliates, unaffiliated U.S. registered investment companies (in a sub-advisory capacity), and unaffiliated foreign and domestic separate accounts.  The Trustees also considered Amundi US’s costs in providing services to the Fund and Amundi US’s costs in providing services to the other clients and considered the differences in management fees and profit margins for fund and non-fund services.  In evaluating the fees associated with Amundi US’s client accounts, the Trustees took into account the respective demands, resources and complexity associated with the Fund and other client accounts.  The Trustees noted that, in some instances, the fee rates for those clients were lower than the management fee for the Fund and considered that, under the investment management and administration agreements with the Fund, Amundi US performs additional services for the Fund that it does not provide to those other clients or services that are broader in scope, including oversight of the Fund’s other service providers and activities related to compliance and the extensive regulatory and tax regimes to which the Fund is subject.  The Trustees also considered the entrepreneurial risks associated with Amundi US’s management of the Fund.
The Trustees concluded that the management fee payable by the Fund to Amundi US was reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by Amundi US.
Profitability
The Trustees considered information provided by Amundi US regarding the profitability of Amundi US with respect to the advisory services provided by Amundi US to the Fund, including the methodology used by Amundi US in allocating certain of its costs to the management of the Fund.  The Trustees also considered Amundi US’s profit margin in connection with the overall operation of the Fund.  They further reviewed the financial results, including the profit margins, realized by Amundi US from non-fund businesses.  The Trustees considered Amundi US’s profit margins in comparison to the limited industry data available and noted that the profitability of any adviser was affected by numerous factors, including its organizational structure and method for allocating expenses.  The Trustees concluded that Amundi US’s profitability with respect to the management of the Fund was not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered Amundi US’s views relating to economies of scale in connection with the Pioneer Funds as fund assets grow and the extent to which any such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and Fund shareholders.  The Trustees noted the breakpoints in the management fee schedule.  The Trustees recognize that economies of scale are difficult to
50Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/23


identify and quantify, and that, among other factors that may be relevant, are the following: fee levels, expense subsidization, investment by Amundi US in research and analytical capabilities and Amundi US’s commitment and resource allocation to the Fund.  The Trustees noted that profitability also may be an indicator of the availability of any economies of scale, although profitability may vary for other reasons including due to reductions in expenses.  The Trustees concluded that economies of scale, if any, were being appropriately shared with the Fund.
Other Benefits
The Trustees considered the other benefits that Amundi US enjoys from its relationship with the Fund.  The Trustees considered the character and amount of fees paid or to be paid by the Fund, other than under the investment management agreement, for services provided by Amundi US and its affiliates.  The Trustees further considered the revenues and profitability of Amundi US’s businesses other than the Fund business.  To the extent applicable, the Trustees also considered the benefits to the Fund and to Amundi US and its affiliates from the use of “soft” commission dollars generated by the Fund to pay for research and brokerage services.
The Trustees considered that Amundi US is the principal U.S. asset management business of Amundi, which is one of the largest asset managers globally.  Amundi’s worldwide asset management business manages over $2.1 trillion in assets (including the Pioneer Funds).  The Trustees considered that Amundi US’s relationship with Amundi creates potential opportunities for Amundi US and Amundi that derive from Amundi US’s relationships with the Fund, including Amundi’s ability to market the services of Amundi US globally.  The Trustees noted that Amundi US has access to additional research and portfolio management capabilities as a result of its relationship with Amundi and Amundi’s enhanced global presence that may contribute to an increase in the resources available to Amundi US.  The Trustees considered that Amundi US and the Fund receive reciprocal intangible benefits from the relationship, including mutual brand recognition and, for the Fund, direct and indirect access to the resources of a large global asset manager.  The Trustees concluded that any such benefits received by Amundi US as a result of its relationship with the Fund were reasonable.
Conclusion
After consideration of the factors described above as well as other factors, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the investment management agreement for the Fund, including the fees payable thereunder, was fair and reasonable and voted to approve the proposed renewal of the investment management agreement.
Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/2351


Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program
As required by law, the Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) that is designed to assess and manage liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund could not meet requests to redeem its shares without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Fund’s Board of Trustees designated a liquidity risk management committee (the “Committee”) consisting of employees of Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. (the “Adviser”) to administer the Program.
The Committee provided the Board of Trustees with a report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”).
The Report confirmed that, throughout the Reporting Period, the Committee had monitored the Fund’s portfolio liquidity and liquidity risk on an ongoing basis, as described in the Program and in Board reporting throughout the Reporting Period.
The Report discussed the Committee’s annual review of the Program, which addressed, among other things, the following elements of the Program:
The Committee reviewed the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions. The Committee noted that the Fund’s investment strategy continues to be appropriate for an open-end fund, taking into account, among other things, whether and to what extent the Fund held less liquid and illiquid assets and the extent to which any such investments affected the Fund’s ability to meet redemption requests. In managing and reviewing the Fund’s liquidity risk, the Committee also considered the extent to which the Fund’s investment strategy involves a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers, the extent to which the Fund uses borrowing for investment purposes, and the extent to which the Fund uses derivatives (including for hedging purposes). The Committee also reviewed the Fund’s short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions. In assessing the Fund’s cash flow projections, the Committee considered, among other factors, historical net redemption activity, redemption policies, ownership concentration, distribution channels, and the degree of certainty associated with the Fund’s short-term and long-term cash flow projections. The Committee also considered the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements
52Pioneer Mid Cap Value Fund | Annual Report | 10/31/23


and other funding sources, including, if applicable, the Fund’s participation in a credit facility, as components of the Fund’s ability to meet redemption requests. The Fund has adopted an in-kind redemption policy which may be utilized to meet larger redemption requests.
The Committee reviewed the Program’s liquidity classification methodology for categorizing the Fund’s investments into one of four liquidity buckets. In reviewing the Fund’s investments, the Committee considered, among other factors, whether trading varying portions of a position in a particular portfolio investment or asset class in sizes the Fund would reasonably anticipate trading, would be reasonably expected to significantly affect liquidity.
The Committee performed an analysis to determine whether the Fund is required to maintain a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum, and determined that no such minimum is required because the Fund primarily holds highly liquid investments.
The Report stated that the Committee concluded the Program operates adequately and effectively, in all material respects, to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk throughout the Reporting Period.

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.
