Pioneer Real Estate Shares | Annual Report 12/31/21 1


President’s Letter

Dear Shareholders,

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

Widespread distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines approved for emergency use in late 2020 led to a general decline in virus-related hospitalizations in the US and had a positive effect on overall market sentiment during most of the 2021 calendar year. The passage of two additional fiscal stimulus packages by US lawmakers in December 2020 and January 2021 also helped drive a strong market rally. However, the emergence of highly infectious variants of the virus has caused occasional surges in cases and hospitalizations, especially outside of the US, but also in certain areas of this country. That development has contributed to a slowdown in the global economic recovery, as some foreign governments have reinstated strict virus-containment measures that had been relaxed after the rollout of the vaccines.

In the US, while performance of most asset classes, especially equities, was positive for the full 2021 calendar year, volatility was and has remained high. Concerns over global supply chain issues, rising inflation, “hawkish” signals concerning less-accommodative future monetary policies from the Federal Reserve System (Fed), and partisan debates in Washington, DC over future spending and tax policies, are among the many factors that have led to greater uncertainty and an increase in market volatility.

Despite those issues, and some of the recent difficulties that have affected the economy and the markets, we believe the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines has provided a potential light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. With that said, the long-term impact on the global economy from COVID-19, while currently unknown, is likely to be considerable, as it is clear that several industries have already felt greater effects than others, and could continue to struggle for quite some time.

After leaving our offices in March of 2020 due to COVID-19, we have re-opened our US locations, but are maintaining all the necessary precautions, which at times may have us working more remotely than in person in order to ensure a safe working environment as new variants of the COVID-19 virus continue to arise and spread. I am proud of the careful

planning that has taken place. Throughout the pandemic, our business has continued to operate without any disruption, and we all look forward to regaining a bit of normalcy after so many months of remote working.

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

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

 

Lisa M. Jones

Head of the Americas, President and CEO of US

Portfolio Management Discussion 12/31/21

In the following interview, Raymond Haddad discusses the market environment for real estate investment trusts (REITs) and other real estate-related investments and the factors that influenced the performance of Pioneer Real Estate Shares during the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2021. Mr. Haddad, a vice president and portfolio manager at Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. (Amundi US), is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.

QHow did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2021?
APioneer Real Estate Shares Class A shares returned 40.91% at net asset value during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2021, Fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) US Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Index1, returned 43.06%. During the same 12-month period, the average return of the 253 mutual funds in Morningstar’s Real Estate Funds Category was 38.73%.
QHow would you describe the market environment for REIT investors during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2021?
AREITs rebounded nicely in 2021 after a difficult 2020, outperforming the broader equity markets. In fact, the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI US REIT Index, registered the highest total return in its history for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2021. The rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in the first half of 2021 led to a general reopening of the economy, unlocking pent-up consumer demand as well as the savings many consumers had accumulated during the pandemic-related lockdowns. Ample fiscal and monetary stimulus from the US government and the Federal Reserve (Fed) further heightened investors’ optimism. The US economy, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), grew at 6.4% and 6.7%, respectively, in the first and second quarters of 2021.

During the third quarter, however, caution crept back into the markets. Worries about rising inflation and interest rates, the federal budget deficit and debt ceiling negotiations, Congressional inaction on infrastructure spending, the Chinese government’s growing regulatory actions, and the debt issues of a large Chinese property company all contributed to a dampening of investor enthusiasm for riskier assets such as stocks. Still, REITs ended the quarter in slightly positive territory, while the broader equity market declined.

In the fourth quarter, the emergence and spread of the highly contagious Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus contributed to a stalling of the economic recovery. In addition, supply chain disruptions stemming from the pandemic, labor wage pressures, and higher energy prices fueled accelerating inflation rates and raised concerns about the pace of economic growth. Given the upward pressure on prices, the Fed announced in November that it would begin tapering its monthly asset purchases. Then, in December, the Fed stated it planned to accelerate the winding down of those asset purchases and end the program by March 2022. That news caused investors to pull forward their expectation for the Fed’s timing of interest-rate increases in 2022.

While interest-rate-sensitive investments struggled over the second half of the 12-month period, equities performed strongly on the back of strong third-quarter corporate earnings announcements. REITs, for their part, delivered a 16.32% return for the fourth quarter of 2021, outperforming the broader equity market by a comfortable margin.

Looking below the surface, investors during the period tended to favor stocks of companies falling into the cyclical and value categories, as those companies appeared to be in a position to benefit from an economic reopening driven by increased COVID-19 vaccination rates, a return to school and work, and continued fiscal and monetary stimulus. Pandemic-stressed industries such as travel, leisure, and retail led the markets during the earlier months of the period, but for the balance of the Fund’s fiscal year, less-cyclical stocks outperformed as new COVID-19 variants emerged. The sectors benefiting the most from those conditions included industrial, self-storage, and apartment REITs.

QWhich of your investments or strategies detracted from the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2021?
AIn a period that saw historically strong performance for REITs – when all boats were rising – our decision to avoid investing the Fund in higher-end, strip-center retail REITs that are components of the MSCI US REIT

Index detracted from benchmark-relative returns. When the reporting period began in January 2021, we had a guarded short-term outlook, due to the lingering uncertainty created by the pandemic, questions about the timing of a full economic recovery, and the risk of a sudden reversal in investor confidence. As the United States emerged from the pandemic-induced recession, we thought it would be more prudent to invest the portfolio in shopping malls with more affordable retail shopping experiences. Given the strength of the economic recovery and increased consumer spending bolstered by multiple government stimulus checks, the Fund’s underweight exposure to high-end malls, such as Federated Realty, detracted from relative returns. Lack of exposure to Public Storage was another detractor from the Fund’s benchmark-relative results for the period, as the stock performed well. While we like the self-storage subsector overall, we have chosen to own other self-storage companies in the portfolio that are not as geographically diversified as Public Storage.

QWhich of your investments or strategies aided the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2021?
AOverweight positions in industrial REITs aided the Fund’s benchmark-relative returns during the 12-month period. In particular, the portfolio’s exposure to “last-mile” warehouses that are strategically located in urban areas to facilitate same-day or two-day shipping was rewarding and benefited relative performance. A position in First Industrial was the top positive contributor to the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance for the 12-month period. First Industrial is a REIT with storage facilities in northern New Jersey that feed the New York City area. Another positive contributor to relative returns for the period was a position in Rexford Industrial, which is geographically concentrated in southern California, an area where competition has been scarce due to zoning laws.

QDid you make any noteworthy adjustments to the Fund’s sector allocation strategy during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2021?
ADuring the early months of the period, we began shifting some of the portfolio’s investments into REIT subsectors that had faced the biggest challenges from the pandemic-related lockdown measures. As part of the strategy, we increased the Fund’s exposure to economically sensitive, cyclical subsectors that we believed could perform well if the US economy continued on a path toward a full reopening. Those cyclical investment themes included more retail-driven REITs as well as secular-driven e-commerce companies within the industrial REITs sector.

We continue to believe high-quality REITs with secular growth drivers could fare well and outperform the more secularly challenged segments of the market, such as office and health care REITs.

QDid the Fund have exposure to any derivative securities during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2021?
AThe Fund had no exposure to derivative investments during the 12-month period.
QCould you comment on the overall health of the US real estate market?
AIn terms of underlying property-market fundamentals, the US real estate sector continues to be healthy, in our view. Current credit spreads indicate strong availability of real estate capital, while underlying tenant credit has appeared similarly healthy. Furthermore, we believe the ability of most subsectors of the real estate market to drive pricing higher is a good indicator of the health of the overall market. (Credit spreads are commonly defined as the differences in yield between Treasuries and fixed-income securities with similar maturities.)
QWhat is your outlook as the Fund begins a new fiscal year?
ALooking into 2022, we expect the continued reopening of the US economy, albeit it at a slower pace than last year. Recently approved therapeutics to treat COVID-19 and the apparent reduced severity of cases caused by the Omicron variant could continue to boost market psychology and sentiment. We believe that could bode well for what we view as already strong fundamentals within the real estate market, and

Pioneer Real Estate Shares | Annual Report 12/31/21 7

 


may bolster the sector’s accelerating 2022 adjusted funds from operations (AFFO), which appear poised to improve. Upward revisions to that figure seem likely, in our view.

Despite a 60-basis point (0.60%) upward move in long-term US Treasury yields in 2021, to 1.50%, REITs proved resilient, given their ability to push rents higher. That flexibility has provided protection from rising inflation. However, if interest rates continue to rise, that could be a headwind for REIT stocks from an asset-allocation perspective, in our view.

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments on pages 17–19 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 or adverse investor sentiment. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.

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

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

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.

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 or sectors.

These risks may increase share price volatility.

Before investing, consider the product’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Contact your financial professional or Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., for a prospectus or summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.

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.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term growth of capital. Current income is a secondary objective.

The Fund offers three classes of shares designated as Class A, 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 dollar-weighted voting, a shareowner’s voting power is determined not by the number of shares owned, but by the dollar value of the shares on the record date. Each share class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting only that class, including with respect to the distribution plan for that class. There is no distribution plan for Class Y shares.

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

In March 2020, FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update, ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other LIBOR-based reference rates at the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. 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 an investment company and follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). U.S. GAAP requires the management of the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income, expenses and gain or loss on investments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

A.Security Valuation

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

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

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

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

28 Pioneer Real Estate Shares | Annual Report 12/31/21

 


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

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

At December 31, 2021, no securities were valued using fair value methods (other than securities valued using prices supplied by independent pricing services, broker-dealers or using a third party insurance industry broker valuation model).

B.Investment Income and Transactions

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

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

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

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 Real Estate Shares | Annual Report 12/31/21 29

 

 
C.Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, if any, represent, among other things, the net realized gains and losses on foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income accrued and the U.S. dollars actually received. Further, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated on the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in the market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

D.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 December 31, 2021, 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.

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.

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

At December 31, 2021, the Fund did not have any capital loss carryforwards.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, a capital loss carryforward of $8,956,737 was utilized to offset net realized gains by the Fund.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were as follows:

  2021 2020
Distributions paid from:    
Ordinary income $ 703,998 $ 507,397
Long-term capital gain 2,534,218 858,555
Tax return of capital 719,716
Total distributions $3,238,216 $2,085,668

 

The following shows the components of distributable earnings (losses) on a federal income tax basis at December 31, 2021:

  2021
Distributable earnings/(losses):  
Undistributed long-term capital gain $ 928,842
Net unrealized appreciation 30,777,150
Total $31,705,992

 

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

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 in any fiscal year, it makes capital gain distributions 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, these distributions will be taxable to you even though they economically represent a return of a portion of your investment. You may want to avoid buying shares when the Fund is about to declare a dividend or capital gain distribution. You should consult your tax adviser before buying shares no matter when you are investing.

E.Fund Shares

The Fund records sales and repurchases of its shares as of trade date. The Distributor earned $3,304 in underwriting commissions on the sale of Class A shares during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Pioneer Real Estate Shares | Annual Report 12/31/21 31

 

 
F.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 and Class C shares of the Fund, respectively (see Note 0). 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 and Class Y shares can reflect different transfer agent and distribution expense rates.

G.Risks

The value of securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inflation, changes in interest rates, 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. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities and could also result in increased redemptions from the Fund. The value of assets or income from investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the Fund’s distributions.

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.

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 and the imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions.

32 Pioneer Real Estate Shares | Annual Report 12/31/21

 


Because the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in REITs, the Fund may be subject to certain risks associated with direct investments in REITs. REITs may be affected by changes in the value of their underlying properties and by defaults of their borrowers or tenants. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareowners, and certain REITs have self-liquidation provisions by which mortgages held may be paid in full and distributions of capital returns may be made at any time. In addition, the performance of a REIT may be affected by its failure to qualify for tax-free pass through of income under the Internal Revenue Code or its failure to maintain exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

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

COVID-19

The global pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Global financial

Pioneer Real Estate Shares | Annual Report 12/31/21 33

 

markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. Rates of inflation have recently risen. These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time, and may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the U.S., 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 impact of these measures will not be known for some time. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, likewise may not be known for some time.

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

2. Management Agreement

The Adviser manages the Fund’s portfolio. Management fees payable under the Fund’s Investment Management Agreement with the Adviser are calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion and 0.75% on assets over $1 billion. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the effective management fee (excluding waivers and/or assumption of expenses) was equivalent to 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to limit ordinary operating expenses (ordinary operating expenses means all fund expenses other than taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation) of the Fund to the extent required to reduce Fund expenses to 1.50% and 1.20% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class Y shares, respectively. These expense limitations are in effect through May 1, 2022. Class C shares do not have an expense limitation. Fees waived and expenses reimbursed during the year ended December 31, 2021 are reflected on the Statement of Operations.

In addition, under the management and administration agreements, certain other services and costs, including accounting, regulatory reporting and insurance premiums, are paid by the Portfolio as administrative reimbursements. Included in “Due to affiliates” reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $5,812 in management fees, administrative costs and certain other reimbursements payable to the Adviser at December 31, 2021.

34 Pioneer Real Estate Shares | Annual Report 12/31/21

 

3. Compensation of Trustees and Officers

The Fund pays an annual fee to its Trustees. The Adviser reimburses the Fund for fees paid to the Interested Trustees. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Fund paid $7,827 in Trustees’ compensation, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Trustees’ fees. At December 31, 2021, the Fund had a payable for Trustees’ fees on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities of $74.

4. Transfer Agent

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

In addition, the Fund reimbursed the transfer agent for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the transfer agent related to shareowner communications activities such as proxy and statement mailings, and outgoing phone calls. For the year ended December 31, 2021, such out-of-pocket expenses by class of shares were as follows:

Shareowner Communications:  
Class A $36,434
Class C 3,458
Class Y 962
Total $40,854

 

5. Distribution Plan

The Fund has adopted a distribution plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to its Class A and Class C shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class A shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund also pays the Distributor 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. The fee for Class C shares consists of a 0.25% service fee and a 0.75% distribution fee paid as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class C shares. Included in “Due to affiliates” reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $9,003 in distribution fees payable to the Distributor at December 31, 2021.

Pioneer Real Estate Shares | Annual Report 12/31/21 35

 


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 Y shares. Proceeds from the CDSCs are paid to the Distributor. For the year ended December 31, 2021, CDSCs in the amount of $339 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 facility in the amount of $450 million. Under such facility, depending on the type of loan, interest on borrowings is payable at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a credit spread. The Fund also pays both an upfront fee and an annual commitment fee to participate in a credit facility. The upfront fee in the amount of 0.10% of the total credit facility and the commitment fee in the amount of 0.25% of the daily unused portion of each lender’s commitment are allocated among participating funds based on an allocation schedule set forth in the credit agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2021, 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 Real Estate Shares:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Pioneer Real Estate Shares (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2021, 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 December 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its nets 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.

Pioneer Real Estate Shares | Annual Report 12/31/21 37

 


Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

Additional Information (unaudited)

Proposed regulations dated January 18, 2019 enable a regulated investment company to pay Section 199A dividends to its shareowners. Section 199A, enacted as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, may allow non-corporate taxpayers a deduction of up to 20% on qualified business income from flow-through entities, including dividends from real estate investment trusts.

The Fund designated $2,534,218 as long-term capital gains distributions during the year ended December 31, 2021. Distributable long-term gains are based on net realized long-term gains determined on a tax basis and may differ from such amounts for financial reporting purposes.

The qualifying percentage of the Fund’s ordinary income and short-term capital gain distributions, if any, for the purpose of the Section 199A deduction was 81.91%.

Approval of Renewal of Investment Management Agreement

Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. (“Amundi US”) serves as the investment adviser to Pioneer Real Estate Shares (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 2021 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 2021, July 2021 and September 2021. 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 2021, 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 2021, 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 2021.

At a meeting held on September 21, 2021, 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, unanimously approved the renewal of the investment management agreement for another year. In approving the renewal of the investment management agreement,

40 Pioneer Real Estate Shares | Annual Report 12/31/21

 

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 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 noted the substantial attention and high priority given by Amundi US’s senior management to the Pioneer Fund complex. The Trustees considered the effectiveness of Amundi US’s business continuity plan in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

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 Amundi US’s oversight of the process for transitioning custodian, transfer agent and sub-administration services to new service providers. 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 comparing the Fund’s performance with the performance of its peer group of funds, as classified by Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar), and with the

Pioneer Real Estate Shares | Annual Report 12/31/21 41

 

performance of the Fund’s benchmark index. They also discuss the Fund’s performance with Amundi US on a regular basis. 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 fourth quintile relative to the management fees paid by other funds in its Morningstar category for the comparable period. The Trustees noted Amundi US’s explanation of the reasons that the Fund’s management fee was in the fourth quintile relative to the management fees paid by other funds in its Morningstar category. The Trustees considered that the expense ratio of the Fund’s Class Y shares for the most recent fiscal year was in the fifth 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 fourth quintile relative to its Strategic Insight peer group for the comparable period. The Trustees noted Amundi US’s explanation of the reasons that the expense ratio of the Fund’s Class Y shares was in the fifth quintile relative to its Strategic Insight peer group and the expense ratio of the Fund’s Class A shares was in the fourth quintile relative to its Strategic Insight peer group. The Trustees noted that Amundi US had agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund.

The Trustees reviewed management fees charged by Amundi US to institutional and other clients, including publicly offered European funds 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 recognize that economies of scale are difficult to 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

Pioneer Real Estate Shares | Annual Report 12/31/21 43

 


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 $2.12 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 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.

GENERAL AUDIT COMMITTEE APPROVAL POLICY:

 

o For all projects, the officers of the Funds and the Fund’s auditors will each make an assessment to determine that any proposed projects will not impair independence.

 

o Potential services will be classified into the four non-restricted service categories and the “Approval of Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and Other Services” Policy above will be applied. Any services outside the specific pre-approved service subcategories set forth above must be specifically approved by the Audit Committee.

 

o At least quarterly, the Audit Committee shall review a report summarizing the services by service category, including fees, provided by the Audit firm as set forth in the above policy.

 


 

(2) Disclose the percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

 

Non-Audit Services

Beginning with non-audit service contracts entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the effective date of the

new SEC pre-approval rules, the Fund's audit committee is required to pre-approve services to

affiliates defined by SEC rules to the extent that the services are determined to have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the Fund. For the years ended December 31 2021 and 2020, there were no services provided to an affiliate that required the Fund's audit committee pre-approval.

 

(f) If greater than 50 percent, disclose the percentage of hours expended on the principal accountants engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

The Fund’s audit committee of the Board of Trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Affiliates (as defined) that were not pre- approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

CODE OF ETHICS

FOR

SENIOR OFFICERS

 

Policy

This Code of Ethics for Senior Officers (this “Code”) sets forth the policies, practices and values expected to be exhibited by Senior Officers of the Pioneer Funds (collectively, the “Funds” and each, a “Fund”). This Code does not apply generally to officers and employees of service providers to the Funds, including Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., and Amundi Distributor US, Inc. (collectively, “Amundi US”), unless such officers and employees are also Senior Officers.

The term “Senior Officers” shall mean the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and controller of the Funds, although one person may occupy more than one such office. Each Senior Officer is identified by title in Exhibit A to this Code.

The Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) of the Pioneer Funds is primarily responsible for implementing and monitoring compliance with this Code, subject to the overall supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board”). The CCO has the authority to interpret this Code and its applicability to particular situations. Any questions about this Code should be directed to the CCO or his or her designee.

Purpose

The purposes of this Code are to:

·Promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
·Promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Fund files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Fund;

     
  1 Last revised January 2021

 

 

 
 
·Promote compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;
·Promote the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and
·Establish accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Senior Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

Responsibilities of Senior Officers

Conflicts of Interest

A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Senior Officer’s private interests interfere in any way – or even appear to interfere – with the interests of or his/her service to a Fund. A conflict can arise when a Senior Officer takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her Fund work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest also arise when a Senior Officer or a member of his/her family receives improper personal benefits as a result of the Senior Officer’s position with the Fund.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Senior Officers and the Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “ICA”), and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “IAA”). For example, Senior Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Funds because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Funds. The Fund's and Amundi US’ compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace such policies and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise as a result of the contractual relationship between the Fund and Amundi US because the Senior Officers are officers or employees of both. As a result, this Code recognizes that Senior Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for a Fund or for Amundi US, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on Amundi US and the Fund. The participation of Senior Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between a Fund and Amundi US and is consistent with the performance by the Senior Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund and, if addressed in conformity with the provisions of the ICA and the IAA, will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Board that Senior Officers may also be officers of investment companies other than the Pioneer Funds.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by this Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions of the ICA or the IAA. In reading the following examples of conflicts of interest under this Code, Senior Officers should keep in mind that such a list cannot ever be exhaustive or cover every possible scenario. It follows that the overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Senior Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of a Fund.

     
  2 Last revised January 2021

 

 
 

 

Each Senior Officer must:

·Not use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by a Fund whereby the Senior Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund;
·Not cause a Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Senior Officer rather than the benefit of the Fund; and
·Report at least annually any affiliations or other relationships that give rise to conflicts of interest.

Any material conflict of interest situation should be approved by the CCO, his or her designee or the Board. Examples of these include:

·Service as a director on the board of any public or private company;
·The receipt of any gift with a value in excess of an amount established from time to time by Amundi US’ Business Gift and Entertainment Policy from any single non-relative person or entity. Customary business lunches, dinners and entertainment at which both the Senior Officer and the giver are present, and promotional items of insignificant value are exempt from this prohibition;
·The receipt of any entertainment from any company with which a Fund has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;
·Any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of a Fund’s service providers other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person thereof; and
·A direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by a Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Senior Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

Corporate Opportunities

Senior Officers may not (a) take for themselves personally opportunities that are discovered through the use of a Fund’s property, information or position; (b) use a Fund’s property, information, or position for personal gain; or (c) compete with a Fund. Senior Officers owe a duty to the Funds to advance their legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises.

     
  3 Last revised January 2021

 

 
 

Confidentiality

Senior Officers should maintain the confidentiality of information entrusted to them by the Funds, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Funds, if disclosed.

Fair dealing with Fund shareholders, suppliers, and competitors

Senior Officers should endeavor to deal fairly with the Funds’ shareholders, suppliers, and competitors. Senior Officers should not take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair-dealing practice. Senior Officers should not knowingly misrepresent or cause others to misrepresent facts about a Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Board, the Funds’ auditors or to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

Compliance with Law

Each Senior Officer must not knowingly violate any law, rule and regulation applicable to his or her activities as an officer of the Funds. In addition, Senior Officers are responsible for understanding and promoting compliance with the laws, rules and regulations applicable to his or her particular position and by persons under the Senior Officer’s supervision. Senior Officers should endeavor to comply not only with the letter of the law, but also with the spirit of the law.

Disclosure

Each Senior Officer should familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Funds. Each Senior Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers of the Funds and Amundi US with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents a Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds.

Initial and Annual Certifications

Upon becoming a Senior Officer the Senior Officer is required to certify that he or she has received, read, and understands this Code. On an annual basis, each Senior Officer must certify that he or she has complied with all of the applicable requirements of this Code.

Administration and Enforcement of the Code

Report of Violations

Amundi US relies on each Senior Officer to report promptly if he or she knows of any conduct by a Senior Officer in violation of this Code. All violations or suspected violations of this Code must be reported to the CCO or a member of Amundi US’ Legal and Compliance Department. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

     
  4 Last revised January 2021

 

 
 

Investigation of Violations

Upon notification of a violation or suspected violation, the CCO or other members of Amundi US’ Compliance Department will take all appropriate action to investigate the potential violation reported. If, after such investigation, the CCO believes that no violation has occurred, the CCO and Compliance Department is not required to take no further action. Any matter the CCO believes is a violation will be reported to the Independent Trustees. If the Independent Trustees concur that a violation has occurred, they will inform and make a recommendation to the full Board. The Board shall be responsible for determining appropriate action. The Funds, their officers and employees, will not retaliate against any Senior Officer for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith and without malicious intent.

The CCO or his or her designee is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. The CCO or his or her designee shall make inquiries regarding any potential conflict of interest.

Violations and Sanctions

Compliance with this Code is expected and violations of its provisions will be taken seriously and could result in disciplinary action. In response to violations of the Code, the Board may impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate within the scope of its authority over Senior Officers, including termination as an officer of the Funds.

Waivers from the Code

The Independent Trustees will consider any approval or waiver sought by any Senior Officer.

The Independent Trustees will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate. Any change to or waiver of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

Other Policies and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole Code of Ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. The Funds’ and Amundi US’ Codes of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the ICA and Rule 204A-1 of the IAA are separate requirements applying to the Senior Officers and others, and are not a part of this Code. To the extent any other policies and procedures of the Funds or Amundi US overlap or conflict with the provisions of the Code, they are superseded by this Code.

Scope of Responsibilities

A Senior Officer’s responsibilities under this Code are limited to Fund matters over which the Senior Officer has direct responsibility or control, matters in which the Senior Officer routinely participates, and matters with which the Senior Officer is otherwise involved. In addition, a Senior Officer is responsible for matters of which the Senior Officer has actual knowledge.

Amendments
