Pioneer ILS Interval Fund

Insurance-Linked Securities May Offer Investors

Low Correlations¹ Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS) provide a compelling opportunity to invest in an alternative asset class that is uncorrelated with financial markets. This may result in strong diversification² benefits and an attractive risk-return profile.	A Measurable Risk Profile Unlike corporate bonds, where risk is tied to financial performance, ILS have well-modeled and time-tested actuarial risk - the risk of securities defaulting due to specific disasters - to assess potential returns and losses.	A Hedge Against Interest Rate Risk The primarily floating rate structure of ILS links a component of their performance to a benchmark rate (such as SOFR),³ leaving investors with limited interest rate risk.

Experience and Commitment: We have been investing in ILS since early 2008. We manage ILS as a component of many of our diversified portfolios and on a dedicated basis. As of September 30, 2024, Amundi US has over $1.9 billion in exposure to ILS. 

Extensive Risk Analysis: The Fund's process is built upon a significant analytical foundation, using industry analytics to evaluate the risk of individual investment opportunities.

Comprehensive Research Coverage: Amundi US supplements its robust proprietary research capabilities with third party analysis, to incorporate broad industry trends as well as in-depth company-specific analysis into the investment decision. Our comprehensive coverage permits analysis of reinsurers from multiple views: equity, corporate bond and ILS risk.

Global Presence and Access: Amundi US has cultivated partnerships with many reinsurers, providing us strong market access to the ILS sector.

Low Correlation¹ to Traditional Asset Classes

One of the most appealing aspects of ILS is its potential diversification properties. By definition, performance is driven by random meteorological or geophysical catastrophic events, which leads to a very low correlation to traditional financial market investments.

¹ Correlation - The degree to which assets or asset class prices have moved in relation to one another. Correlation ranges from -1 (always moving in opposite directions) through 0 (absolutely independent) to 1 (always moving together).

² Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss.

³ Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is used as a reference for short-term interest rates.

A Word about Risk: Pioneer ILS Interval Fund

Certain fees and expenses are associated with an investment in Pioneer ILS Interval Fund. The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company designed primarily as a long-term investment. The Fund is not a complete investment program. The Fund is operated as an interval fund, meaning the Fund will seek to conduct quarterly repurchase offers for a percentage of the Fund’s outstanding shares. Although the Fund will make quarterly repurchase offers, the Fund’s shares should be considered illiquid. The Fund invests primarily in insurance-linked securities (“ILS”). ILS include event-linked bonds, quota share instruments (also known as “reinsurance sidecars”), collateralized reinsurance investments, industry loss warranties and other insurance and reinsurance-related securities. The Fund could lose a portion or all of the principal it has invested in an ILS, and the right to additional interest and/or dividend payments with respect to the security, upon the occurrence of one or more trigger events, as defined within the terms of the security. Trigger events may include natural or other perils of a specific size or magnitude that occur in a designated geographic region during a specified time period, and/or that involve losses or other metrics that exceed a specific amount. ILS may expose the Fund to other risks, including, but not limited to, issuer (credit) default, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations and adverse tax consequences. The Fund has limited transparency into the individual contracts underlying certain ILS, which may make the risk assessment of such securities more difficult. The size of the ILS market may change over time, which may limit the availability of ILS for investment. The availability of ILS in the secondary market may also be limited. ILS in which the Fund invests may have limited liquidity or may be illiquid and, therefore, may be impossible or difficult to purchase, sell, or unwind. ILS also may be difficult to value. The values of Fund holdings may go up or down, due to market conditions, inflation, changes in interest or currency rates, lack of liquidity in the financial markets or adverse investor sentiment. Investments in high yield or lower-rated securities are subject to greater-than-average price volatility, illiquidity, and possibility of default. The market price of securities may fluctuate when interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the prices of fixed income securities held by the Fund will generally fall. Conversely, when interest rates fall, the prices of fixed income securities held by the Fund will generally rise. Investments in the Fund are subject to possible loss due to the financial failure of issuers of underlying securities and their inability to meet their debt obligations. 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. The Fund may use derivatives, such as swaps, inverse floating-rate obligations and others, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on the Fund’s performance. Derivatives may have a leveraging effect. Investing in foreign and/or emerging market securities involves risks relating to interest rates, currency exchange rates, and economic and political conditions. To the extent the Fund invests a significant percentage of its assets in a single industry, such as the financial segment, the Fund may be particularly susceptible to adverse economic, regulatory or other events affecting that industry and may be more risky than a Fund that does not concentrate in an industry. As a non-diversified Fund, the Fund can invest a higher percentage of its assets in the securities of any one or more issuers than a diversified fund. Being non-diversified may magnify the Fund’s losses from adverse events affecting a particular issuer. Please see a prospectus for a complete discussion of the Fund’s risks.
