MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS

To Virtus Closed-End Fund Shareholders:

| ● |
| --- |
| Continued
strong monetary and fiscal support led global markets generally higher during the period, despite inflation fears and the resurgence of COVID-19, specifically the Delta variant. Many indices posted positive returns for the six months. U.S.
large-capitalization stocks led the way, returning 19.52%, as measured by the S&P 500 ® Index, versus a more modest gain of 3.81% for small-cap
stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 ® Index. Within international equities, developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE ® Index (net), returned 10.31%, while emerging markets posted a slight loss of 0.98%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net). |
| In fixed
income markets, the yield on the 10-year Treasury was 1.30% on August 31, 2021, down from 1.44% on February 28, 2021. The broader U.S. fixed income market, as represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 1.49%. Non-investment
grade bonds were up 3.82% for the period, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index. (Please note that effective August 24, the names of the indices were changed from the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and
Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, respectively.) |

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)

August 31, 2021

About the Fund:

AllianzGI Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund’s (NYSE: AIO) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

The use of leverage currently enables the Fund to borrow at short-term rates and invest at higher yields on its investments. As of August 31, 2021, the Fund’s leverage consisted of $30.0 million of borrowings made pursuant to margin financing and/or securities lending, which represented approximately 3% of the Fund’s total assets.

Manager Comments – Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (AllianzGI)

AllianzGI manages the Fund, leveraging the knowledge and skills of an experienced investment team that has a long track record in closed-end fund management. The team takes a dynamic approach to allocating the Fund’s assets. They invest for the long term, employing innovative investment expertise and global resources. The following commentary is provided by the portfolio team at AllianzGI and covers the Fund’s performance for the six months ended August 31, 2021.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s semiannual period ended August 31, 2021?

Global equities delivered strong gains over the semiannual period ended August 31, 2021, as the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines boosted the outlook for a global economic recovery from the pandemic. U.S. President Joe Biden’s plans for massive fiscal stimulus further bolstered sentiment, although concerns grew about rising inflationary pressures.

All sectors in the MSCI AC World Index (net) posted positive returns, with health care and information technology outperforming, and consumer discretionary and energy lagging. In the spring, investors rotated out of highly favored growth stocks into those with value characteristics, but growth subsequently rallied over the summer to finish ahead of value. Later in the period, positive corporate earnings data outweighed uncertainty over when central banks would start to taper their extraordinary support measures. Financial markets also overcame concerns regarding the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant of COVID-19, ongoing supply chain disruptions, rising geopolitical tensions, and worries over a slowdown in China’s economy.

Against this backdrop, convertible securities were positively impacted by underlying equity strength. Improving fundamentals, declining default rates, and a rising upgrade-to-downgrade ratio were notable developments within the high yield bond market.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal semiannual period?

For the six months ended August 31, 2021, the Fund’s net asset value (NAV) returned 5.52%, and its market price returned 4.85%. For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI AC World Index (net) returned 13.80%.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (Continued)

August 31, 2021

In the equity portfolio, relative underperformance during the reporting period was driven by stock selection and industry positioning. Stock selection in the life sciences tools & services and road & rail industries contributed positively to relative performance. Conversely, stock selection in the information technology services and semiconductors & semiconductor equipment industries detracted from relative performance. From an industry allocation perspective, an overweight allocation to the life sciences tools & services industry contributed positively to relative performance, while an overweight allocation to the entertainment industry detracted from performance.

Within convertible securities, technology, health care, and telecommunications were the top-contributing sectors. Conversely, consumer discretionary, media, and industrials exposures detracted from performance.

Within the high yield allocation, the greatest contributors to performance were technology, media content, and healthcare. Support services was the only industry that negatively affected performance.

The preceding information is the opinion of portfolio management only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. Any such opinions are subject to change at any time based upon market conditions and should not be relied upon as investment advice.

The Fund’s portfolio holdings are subject to change and may not be representative of the portfolio managers’ current or future investment decisions. The mention of individual securities held by the Fund is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell any securities. Investors seeking financial advice regarding the appropriateness of investing in any securities or investment strategies discussed should consult their financial professional.

Risk Considerations

Convertible Securities: A convertible security may be called for redemption at a time and price unfavorable to the portfolio.

Equity Securities: The market price of equity securities may be adversely affected by financial market, industry, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or on small or medium-sized companies may enhance that risk.

Credit & Interest: Debt instruments are subject to various risks, including credit and interest rate risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to make interest and/or principal payments. Values of debt instruments may rise or fall in response to changes in interest rates, and this risk may be enhanced with longer-term maturities.

Sector Focused Investing: Events negatively affecting a particular market sector in which the portfolio focuses its investments may cause the value of the portfolio to decrease.

Leverage: When a portfolio is leveraged, the value of its securities may be more volatile and all other risks may be compounded.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (Continued)

August 31, 2021

Limited Term: The Fund will terminate on or around October 29, 2031 absent Trustee and shareholder approval to amend the limited term provision of the Fund’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust. As the assets of the Fund will be liquidated in connection with its termination, the Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities when it otherwise would not, including at times when market conditions are not favorable, which may cause the Fund to lose money.

Market Volatility: Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the portfolio and its investments, including hampering the ability of the portfolio manager(s) to invest the portfolio’s assets as intended.

Closed-End Funds: Closed-end funds may trade at a discount or premium from their net asset values, which may affect whether an investor will realize gains or losses. They may also employ leverage, which may increase volatility.

AllianzGI Convertible & Income 2024 Target Term Fund MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)

August 31, 2021

About the Fund:

AllianzGI Convertible & Income 2024 Target Term Fund’s (NYSE: CBH) (the “Fund”) investment objectives are to provide a high level of income and to return at least $9.835 per common share (the original net asset value per common share before deducting offering costs of $0.02 per share) to holders of common shares on or about September 1, 2024. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

The use of leverage currently enables the Fund to borrow at short-term rates and invest at higher yields on its investments. As of August 31, 2021, the Fund’s leverage consisted of $69.7 million of borrowings made pursuant to margin financing and/or securities lending, which represented approximately 26% of the Fund’s total assets.

Manager Comments – Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (AllianzGI)

AllianzGI manages the Fund, leveraging the knowledge and skills of an experienced investment team that has a long track record in closed-end fund management. The team takes a dynamic approach to allocating Fund assets across convertible securities, equities, and income-producing securities. They invest for the long term, employing innovative investment expertise and global resources. The following commentary is provided by the portfolio teams at AllianzGI and covers the Fund’s portfolio for the six months ended August 31, 2021.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s semiannual period ended August 31, 2021?

The three asset classes – U.S. convertible securities, high yield bonds and leveraged loans – utilized in the Fund advanced during the semiannual period ended August 31, 2021. The ICE BofA US Convertibles Index and ICE BofA US High Yield Index returned 1.9% and 3.9%, respectively. The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index gained 2.0%. By way of comparison, the 10-year U.S. Treasury was higher by 2.4% and the S&P 500 ® Index advanced 19.5%.

Stocks hit new record highs over the period, with the S&P 500 ® Index recording its seventh straight monthly gain through August. Convertible securities were positively impacted by underlying equity strength. Improving fundamentals, declining default rates, and a rising upgrade-to-downgrade ratio were notable developments within the high yield credit markets.

Strong corporate profits, upwardly revised earnings expectations, accommodative commentary by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed), constructive economic data, and the potential for new U.S. fiscal stimulus offset investor concerns around the spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19 and the outlook for Fed tapering and inflation.

First- and second-quarter financial results for U.S. companies exceeded estimates due to stronger-than-expected earnings and revenues. Concurrently, forward earnings expectations rose over the period.

The Fed kept interest rates and asset purchases unchanged. In his speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium in late August, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said that tapering could start this year, but indicated that tapering is not a precursor to the normalization of policy rates.

The U.S. economy continued to recover, with declines reported in unemployment and jobless claims. Surveys of manufacturing activity remained healthy, while non-manufacturing activity picked up in July. In contrast, consumer sentiment fell and inflation measures increased.

The Senate passed the $1 trillion infrastructure bill, and the House of Representatives passed the $3.5 trillion budget resolution and advanced the infrastructure bill.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal semiannual period?

For the six months ended August 31, 2021, the Fund’s net asset value (NAV) returned 0.83%, and its market price returned 5.64%. For the same period, the Fund’s composite benchmark, which consists of 40% ICE BofA US Convertibles Index (representing convertible securities), 45% ICE BofA High Yield BB-B Constrained Index (representing high yield bonds), and 15% Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (representing leveraged loans) returned 2.70%. The underlying indexes returned 1.86% for convertibles, 3.61% for high yield and 1.99% for leveraged loans.

The Fund benefited from its exposure to U.S. credit. In addition to providing a positive total return gross of fees and expenses, the Fund delivered a high level of income during the six months ended August 31, 2021.

Media, technology, and energy were the top-contributing sectors among convertible security positions. Conversely, health care, consumer discretionary, and industrials exposures detracted from performance.

For high yield holdings, the greatest contributors to performance were financial services, energy, and cable & satellite TV. There were no industries that negatively affected performance.

Within leveraged loans, contributions from retail, technology, and support services were the most impactful. In contrast, energy was the only industry that hindered performance.

The preceding information is the opinion of portfolio management only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. Any such opinions are subject to change at any time based upon market conditions and should not be relied upon as investment advice.

Risk Considerations

Convertible Securities: A convertible security may be called for redemption at a time and price unfavorable to the portfolio.

Values of debt instruments may rise or fall in response to changes in interest rates, and this risk may be enhanced with longer-term maturities.

High Yield Fixed Income Securities: There is a greater risk of issuer default, less liquidity, and increased price volatility related to high yield securities than investment grade securities.

Bank Loans: Loans may be unsecured or not fully collateralized, may be subject to restrictions on resale and/or trade infrequently on the secondary market. Loans are subject to credit and call risk, may be difficult to value, and have longer settlement times than other investments, which can make loans relatively illiquid at times.

Leverage: When a portfolio is leveraged, the value of its securities may be more volatile and all other risks may be compounded.

Limited Term: The Fund will terminate on or around September 1, 2024 absent Trustee and shareholder approval to amend the limited term provision of the Fund’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust.

Leverage: When a portfolio is leveraged, the value of its securities may be more volatile and all other risks may be compounded.

High Yield Fixed Income Securities: There is a greater risk of issuer default, less liquidity, and increased price volatility related to high yield securities than investment grade securities.

Preferred Stocks: Preferred stocks may decline in price, fail to pay dividends, or be illiquid.

AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (Continued)

August 31, 2021

Market Volatility : Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the portfolio and its investments, including hampering the ability of the portfolio manager(s) to invest the portfolio’s assets as intended.

Closed-End Funds: Closed-end funds may trade at a discount or premium from their net asset values, which may affect whether an investor will realize gains or losses. They may also employ leverage, which may increase volatility.

Note 1. Organization

AllianzGI Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund, AllianzGI Convertible & Income 2024 Target Term Fund, AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund and AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on May 24, 2019, March 21, 2017, January 17, 2003 and April 22, 2003, respectively. The Funds are each organized and registered as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

($ reported in thousands)

The Funds are investment companies that follow the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant.

A.
Each Fund
utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers into or out of Level 3 at the end of the reporting period.

• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (security types generally include listed equities).

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

• Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A description of the valuation techniques applied to a Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

Equity securities are valued at the official closing price (typically last sale) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded or, if no closing price is available, at the last bid price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Restricted equity securities and private placements that are illiquid, or are internally fair valued by the Valuation Committee, are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Certain non-U.S. securities may be fair valued in cases where closing prices are not readily available or are deemed not reflective of readily available market prices. For

example, significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that non-U.S. markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) that may impact the value of securities traded in these non-U.S. markets. In such cases, the Funds fair value non-U.S. securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the non-U.S. security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as ADRs, financial futures, ETFs, and certain indexes, as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Because the frequency of significant events is not predictable, fair valuation of certain non-U.S. common stocks may occur on a frequent basis.

Debt securities, including convertible bonds, and restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For most bond types, the pricing service utilizes matrix pricing that considers one or more of the following factors: yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, current cash flows, type, activity of the underlying equities, and current day trade information, as well as dealer supplied prices. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Structured debt instruments, such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may also incorporate collateral analysis and utilize cash flow models for valuation and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Pricing services do not provide pricing for all securities and therefore indicative bids from dealers are utilized which are based on pricing models used by market makers in the security and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Debt securities that are internally fair valued by the Valuation Committee are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Listed derivatives, such as options, that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts and equity-linked instruments, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at NAV. Investments in closed-end funds and ETFs are valued as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE each business day. Each is categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

A summary of the inputs used to value a Fund’s net assets by each major security type is disclosed at the end of the Schedule of Investments for each Fund. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of certain foreign securities, as
soon as a Fund is notified. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Each Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Premiums on callable debt securities are amortized to interest income to the
earliest call date using the effective interest method. Conversion premium is not amortized. |

on historical information and other industry sources. The return of capital portion of the estimate is a reduction to investment income and a reduction in the cost basis of each investment which increases net realized gain (loss) and net change in
unrealized appreciation (depreciation). If the return of capital distributions exceed their cost basis, the distributions are treated as realized gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each
REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts. |
| C. | Income Taxes |
| | Each Fund is treated as a
separate taxable entity. It is the intention of each Fund to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its
shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made. The Funds may be subject to excise tax based on distributions to shareholders. |
| | Certain Funds may be subject
to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Each Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable based upon current interpretations of the tax rules and regulations that
exist in the markets in which it invests. |
| | Management of the Funds has
concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Each Fund’s U.S. federal income tax return is generally subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a
period of three years after it is filed. State, local and/or non-U.S. tax returns and/or other filings may be subject to examination for different periods, depending upon the tax rules of each applicable jurisdiction. |
| D. | Distributions to
Common Shareholders |
| | The Funds declare
distributions to common shareholders monthly. Distributions are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from U.S. GAAP. |
| E. | Expenses |
| | Expenses incurred together by
a Fund and other affiliated mutual funds are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each such fund, except where allocation of direct expenses to each Fund or an alternative allocation method can be more appropriately used. |
| | In addition to the net annual
operating expenses that a Fund bears directly, the shareholders of a Fund indirectly bear the pro-rata expenses of any underlying mutual funds in which the Fund invests. |
| F. | Convertible Securities |
| | Certain
Funds may invest a portion of their assets in convertible securities. Although convertible securities derive part of their value from that of the securities into which they are convertible, they are not considered derivative financial instruments.
However, |

| | certain of the Funds’
investments in convertible securities include features which render them sensitive to price changes in their underlying securities. The value of structured/synthetic convertible securities can be affected by interest rate changes and credit risks of
the issuer. Such securities may be structured in ways that limit their potential for capital appreciation, and the entire value of the security may be at risk of loss depending on the performance of the underlying equity security. Consequently, the
Funds are exposed to greater downside risk than traditional convertible securities, but typically still less than that of the underlying stock. |
| --- | --- |
| G. | Payment In-Kind Securities |
| | The Funds may invest in
payment in-kind securities, which are debt or preferred stock securities that require or permit payment of interest in the form of additional securities. Payment in-kind securities allow the issuer to avoid or delay the need to generate cash to meet
current interest payments and, as a result, may involve greater risk than securities that pay interest currently or in cash. |
| H. | When-issued Purchases and
Forward Commitments (Delayed Delivery) |
| | Certain Funds may engage in
when-issued or forward commitment transactions. Securities purchased on a when-issued or forward commitment basis are also known as delayed delivery transactions. Delayed delivery transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell a
security at a future date (ordinarily up to 90 days later). When-issued or forward commitments enable the Funds to lock in what is believed to be an attractive price or yield on a particular security for a period of time, regardless of future
changes in interest rates. Each Fund records when-issued and forward commitment securities on the trade date. Each Fund maintains collateral for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or forward commitment basis begin
earning interest on the settlement date. |
| I. | Leveraged Loans |
| | Certain Funds may invest in
direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates. Leveraged loans are generally non-investment grade and often involve borrowers that are highly leveraged.
The Funds may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. Leveraged loans are typically senior in the corporate capital structure of the borrower. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the
“lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the leveraged loan. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a
portion of loans from third parties. When investing in loan participations, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan participation and only upon
receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the leveraged loan with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the
lender that is selling the leveraged loan. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan. |
| | A Fund may
invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. Leveraged loans may involve foreign borrowers and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. Direct |

| | indebtedness of emerging
countries involves a risk that the government entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay the principal and interest when due. |
| --- | --- |
| | The leveraged loans have
floating rate loan interests which generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are generally LIBOR, the prime rate offered by one or more U.S. banks or
the certificate of deposit rate. When a leveraged loan is purchased a Fund may pay an assignment fee. On an ongoing basis, a Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a leveraged loan.
Prepayment penalty fees are received upon the prepayment of a leveraged loan by a borrower. Prepayment penalty, facility, commitment, consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned or paid. |
| J. | Repurchase Agreements |
| | Certain Funds are parties to
Master Repurchase Agreements (“Master Repo Agreements”) with select counterparties. The Master Repo Agreements include provisions for initiation of repurchase transactions, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of
collateral. |
| | The Funds enter into
transactions, under the Master Repo Agreements, with their custodian bank or securities brokerage firms whereby they purchase securities under agreements (i.e., repurchase agreements) to resell such securities at an agreed upon price and date. The
Funds, through their custodian, take possession of securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement. Such agreements are carried at the contract amount in the financial statements, which is considered to represent fair value. The collateral that
is pledged (i.e., the securities received by the Funds), which consists primarily of U.S. government obligations and asset-backed securities, is held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the Funds until the maturity of the repurchase agreement.
Provisions of the repurchase agreements and the procedures adopted by the Funds require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, be sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty
defaults under the Master Repo Agreements and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited. The gross values are included in each
Funds’ Schedule of Investments. As of August 31, 2021, the Funds did not hold any repurchase agreements. |
| K. | Warrants |
| | The Funds
may receive warrants. Warrants are securities that are usually issued together with a debt security or preferred stock and that give the holder the right to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specified price. Warrants may be freely
transferable and are often traded on major exchanges. Warrants normally have a life that is measured in years and entitle the holder to buy common stock of a company at a price that is usually higher than the market price at the time the warrant is
issued. Warrants may entail greater risks than certain other types of investments. Generally, warrants do not carry the right to receive dividends or exercise voting rights with respect to the underlying securities, and they do not represent any
rights in the assets of the issuer. In addition, their value does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities, and they cease to have value if they are not exercised on or |

86

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

August 31, 2021

before their expiration date. If the market price of the underlying stock does not exceed the exercise price during the life of the warrant, the warrant will expire worthless. Warrants may increase the potential profit or loss to be realized from the investment as compared with investing the same amount in the underlying securities. Similarly, the percentage increase or decrease in the value of an equity security warrant may be greater than the percentage increase or decrease in the value of the underlying common stock. Warrants may relate to the purchase of equity or debt securities. Debt obligations with warrants attached to purchase equity securities have many characteristics of convertible securities and their prices may, to some degree, reflect the performance of the underlying stock. Debt obligations also may be issued with warrants attached to purchase additional debt securities at the same coupon rate. A decline in interest rates would permit a Fund to sell such warrants at a profit. If interest rates rise, these warrants would generally expire with no value.

Trustees do not currently receive any pension or retirement benefits from the Funds. In calendar year 2018 and certain prior periods, the Funds maintained a deferred compensation plan pursuant to which each Independent Trustee had the opportunity to
elect not to receive all or a portion of his or her fees from the respective Fund on a current basis, but instead to receive in a subsequent period chosen by the Independent Trustee an amount equal to the value of such compensation if such
compensation had been invested in one or more series of Virtus Investment Trust (formerly known as Allianz Funds) and Virtus Strategy Trust (formerly known as Allianz Funds Multi-Strategy Trust) selected by the Independent Trustees from and after
the normal payment dates for such compensation. The deferred compensation program was closed to new deferrals effective January 1, 2019, and all Trustee fees earned with respect to service in calendar years 2019 and 2020 were paid in cash, on a
current basis. The Funds still have obligations with respect to Independent Trustee fees deferred in 2018 and in prior periods, and will continue to have such obligations until all deferred Trustee fees are paid out pursuant to the terms of the
deferred compensation plan. |

Note 6. Credit and Market Risk and Asset Concentration

Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of the Fund’s portfolio manager(s) to invest the Fund’s assets as intended.

In July 2017, the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority announced the intention to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. However, subsequent announcements by the FCA, the LIBOR administrator and other regulators indicate that it is possible that certain LIBORs may continue beyond 2021 and certain of the most widely used LIBORs may continue until mid-2023. The Funds may be exposed to financial instruments tied to LIBOR to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies or investment value. The expected discontinuation of LIBOR could have a significant impact on the financial markets and may present a material risk for certain market participants, including the Funds. Abandonment of or modifications to LIBOR could lead to significant short- and long-term uncertainty and market instability. The risks associated with this discontinuation and transition may be exacerbated if the work necessary to effect an orderly transition to an alternative reference rate is not completed in a timely manner. It remains uncertain how such changes would be implemented and the effects such changes would have on the Funds, issuers of instruments in which the Funds invest, and the financial markets generally.

Certain Funds may invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in the pursuit of their investment objectives. Fluctuations in these sectors of concentration may have a greater impact on a Fund, positive or negative, than if the Fund did not concentrate its investments in such sectors.

Each of the Funds leverages its portfolio through preferred shares, securities lending and/or margin loan financing. While leverage presents opportunities for increasing the

each Fund’s total return, it also has the effect of potentially increasing losses. Accordingly, any event which adversely affects the value of an investment held by the each Fund would be magnified to the extent the each Fund is leveraged.

High-yield/high-risk securities typically entail greater price volatility and/or principal and interest rate risk. There is a greater chance that an issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments on time. Analysis of the creditworthiness of issuers of high-yield/high-risk securities may be complex, and as a result, it may be more difficult for the Adviser and/or subadviser to accurately predict risk.

AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund has 1,894 shares of Auction-Rate Preferred Shares Series A, 1,779 shares of Auction-Rate Preferred Shares Series B, 1,909 shares of Auction-Rate Preferred Shares Series C, 1,842 shares of Auction-Rate Preferred Shares Series D and 1,507 shares of Auction-Rate Preferred Shares Series E outstanding, each with a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus any accumulated, unpaid dividends.

AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II has 1,296 shares of Auction-Rate Preferred Shares Series A, 1,512 shares of Auction-Rate Preferred Shares Series B, 1,239 shares of Auction-Rate Preferred Shares Series C, 1,156 shares of Auction-Rate Preferred Shares Series D and 1,298 shares of Auction-Rate Preferred Shares Series E outstanding, each with a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus any accumulated, unpaid dividends.

Dividends on the Auction-Rate Preferred Shares are accumulated daily at an annual rate that is typically re-set every seven days. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid annually.

For the period ended August 31, 2021, the annualized dividend rates paid with respect to the Auction-Rate Preferred shares of AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund and AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II ranged from:

| | High | Low | At
August 31, 2021 |

AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund and AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II are subject to certain limitations and restrictions while Auction-Rate Preferred Shares are outstanding. Failure to comply with these limitations and restrictions could preclude the Funds from declaring or paying any dividends or distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of Auction-Rate Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference plus any accumulated, unpaid dividends.

Trustees and on certain matters affecting the rights of the Auction-Rate Preferred Shares. On matters where preferred shareholders vote separately from common shareholders, including the election of the preferred shares trustees, preferred shareholders are entitled to one vote per $25.00 in liquidation preference per share.

Since mid-February 2008, holders of auction-rate preferred shares (“ARPS”) issued by the Funds have been directly impacted by a lack of liquidity, which has similarly affected ARPS holders in many of the nation’s closed-end funds. Since then, regularly scheduled auctions for the ARPS issued by the Funds have consistently “failed” because of insufficient demand (bids to buy shares) to meet the supply (shares offered for sale) at each auction.

In a failed auction, ARPS holders cannot sell all, and may not be able to sell any, of their shares tendered for sale. While repeated auction failures have affected the liquidity for ARPS, they do not constitute a default or automatically alter the credit quality of the ARPS, and ARPS holders have continued to receive dividends at the defined “maximum rate”, which for the Funds is equal to the 7-day “AA” Composite Commercial Paper Rate multiplied by a minimum of 150%, from March 1, 2020 to July 19, 2020 and by a minimum of 200% from July 20, 2020 to February 28, 2021 depending on the credit rating of the ARPS. The maximum rate is a function of short-term interest rates and typically higher than the rate that would have otherwise been set through a successful auction.

On July 20, 2020, Moody’s Investors Service downgraded each Fund’s ARPS ratings to A1 from Aa3. As a result, the applicable multiplier for calculating the maximum rate increased from 150% to 200% beginning on that date. If the Funds’ ARPS continue to fail and the “maximum rate” payable on the ARPS rises as result of changes in short-term interest rates, returns for the Funds’ common shareholders could be adversely affected.

Note 8. Liquidity Facility and Securities Lending

($ reported in thousands)

Prior to June 14, 2021, each of the Funds had entered into a liquidity facility (each a “SSB Facility” and together the “SSB Facilities”) with State Street Bank & Trust Company (“State Street”). The Funds pledged their assets as collateral to secure obligations under the SSB Facilities. The Funds retained the risks and rewards of the ownership of assets pledged to secure obligations under the SSB Facilities. As part of the SSB Facilities, the Funds made assets available for securities lending transactions with State Street acting as the Funds’ authorized agent for these transactions. All transactions initiated through State Street were required to be secured with cash collateral received from the securities borrower (the “Borrower”). Securities lending transactions were secured with cash collateral in amounts no less than 100% of the market value of the securities loaned in these transactions. Cash received by State Street from securities lending was credited against borrowings under the SSB Facilities. Upon return of securities by the Borrower, State Street would return the cash collateral to the Borrower, as applicable, which eliminated the credit against the borrowings and caused the drawdowns under the SSB Facilities to increase by the amounts returned. Borrowing fees on the loaned securities were retained by State Street.

96

Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

August 31, 2021

State Street would have indemnified the Funds for certain losses that would have arisen if the Borrower failed to return securities when due. With respect to securities lending transactions, upon a default of the securities borrower, State Street would have used the collateral received from the Borrower to purchase replacement securities of the same issue, type, class and series. If such collateral was insufficient, the purchase of replacement securities would have been made at State Street’s sole cost and expense. Although the risk of the loss of the securities was mitigated by receiving collateral from the Borrower and through State Street indemnification, the Funds could have experienced a delay in recovering securities or could have experienced a lower than expected return if the Borrower failed to return the securities on a timely basis.

State Street would fund drawdowns under a SSB Facility through reverse repurchase agreements in a manner and on terms that were substantially similar to the securities loans described above. None of the Funds’ borrowings during the reporting period were funded though reverse repurchase agreements. Prior to June 14, 2021, the maximum capital commitment amounts under the respective SSB Facilities were $125,000, $71,000, $34,000 and $0, respectively, for AllianzGI Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund, AllianzGI Convertible & Income 2024 Target Term Fund, AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund and AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II. Interest on amounts drawn under each SSB Facility was charged at a daily rate equal to the U.S. 3-month LIBOR rate plus 0.55%, with a commitment fee of 0.15% payable on the maximum capital commitment amount less the amount drawn in any month when the amount drawn was less than 85% of the commitment amount on any day. Loan interest expense and committment fees are included in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

For the period March 1, 2021 through June 13, 2021, the average borrowings, average interest rate, and interest expense under the SSB Facilities were as follows:

| Fund | Average Borrowings | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Loan
Interest Expense | Commitment Fees |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| AIO | $30,000 | 0.83
% | $ 72 | $42 |
| CBH | 69,700 | 0.83 | 168 | — |
| NCV | 28,852 | 0.83 | 70 | — |

Effective June 14, 2021, each of the Funds entered into a Master Margin Loan Agreement (“MMLA”) and a Securities Lending Authorization Agreement (“SLAA”), (together the “BNYM Facilities”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYMellon”). Under the MMLA the Funds pledge their assets as collateral to secure obligations but retain the risks and rewards of the ownership of assets pledged to secure such obligations.

Under the SLAA, the Funds may loan securities to qualified brokers through a securities lending agency agreement with BNYMellon. Under the securities lending policy, when lending securities a Fund is required to maintain collateral with a market value not less than 100% of the market value of loaned securities. Collateral is adjusted daily in connection with changes in the market value of securities on loan. Collateral consists of cash which is invested in a short-term money market fund and/or released to each Fund to be used for liquidity purposes in conjunction with the MMLA. Cash received from securities lending is first credited against borrowings under the MMLA. Upon return of

97

Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

August 31, 2021

securities by the Borrower, BNYMellon returns the cash collateral to the Borrower, as applicable, which eliminates the credit against the borrowings and causes the drawdowns under the MMLA to increase by the amounts returned. The securities lending program is subject to the same limits and interest rate structure as the MMLA. Dividends earned on the collateral and premiums paid by the broker are recorded as income by the Fund net of fees and rebates charged/paid by BNYMellon for its services as securities lending agent and in connection with this securities lending program. Lending portfolio securities involves a risk of delay in the recovery of the loaned securities or in the declining value of the collateral.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by each Fund under the SLAA which permit the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund.

At August 31, 2021, the securities loaned were subject to a SLAA on a net payment basis as follows:

| Fund | Value
of Securities on Loan | Cash Collateral Received (1) | Net Amount (2) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| AIO | $
40,835 | $
40,835 | $
— |
| CBH | 19,409 | 19,409 | — |
| NCV | 35,567 | 35,567 | — |

| (1) | Collateral
received in excess of the market value of securities on loan is not presented in this table. The cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions has been used for the purchase of securities as disclosed in the
Fund’s Schedule of Investments. |
| --- | --- |
| (2) | Net
amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default. |

At August 31, 2021, the maximum capital commitment amounts under the MMLA were $75,000, $71,000, $34,000 and $0, respectively, for AllianzGI Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund, AllianzGI Convertible & Income 2024 Target Term Fund, AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund and AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II. Interest on amounts drawn under each MMLA is charged at a daily rate and a commitment fee is paid on the undrawn amounts as agreed to in the MMLA. As of August 31, 2021, AllianzGI Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund, AllianzGI Convertible & Income 2024 Target Term Fund and AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund used cash collateral received from the SLAA to purchase long term investments and/or invest the amount in a short-term money market fund. These investments are included in the line item “Investments, at value” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The securities on loan under the SLAA and securities pledged as collateral under the MMLA are reflected on the Schedule of Investments. Any amounts payable under the MMLA/SLAA are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as ’Loan Payable’ and/or ’Collateral on securities loaned.’ The interest rate charged at August 31, 2021, was 0.42%. The expense is included in the Funds’ Statements of Operations under “Loan interest”.

Note 9. Common Shares Issued

Each of AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund and AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II has a currently effective “shelf” registration statement pursuant to which it may offer, from time to time in one or more offerings, up to $120 million (in the case of AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund) and $90 million (in the case of AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II) in common shares on terms to be determined at the time of the offering. The Board has also approved underwriting arrangements for such potential offerings. However, as of the date of this report, neither Fund had initiated such an offering and it is uncertain whether or when either Fund will proceed with such an offering. AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund and AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II both incurred deferred offering costs related to the offering, which, if any, will be charged to capital upon the completion of the offering or charged to expense if the offering is not completed.

Note 10. Cumulative Preferred Shares

On September 11, 2018, AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II issued 4,360,000 shares of 5.50% Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares with an aggregate liquidation value of $109,000,000 (“NCZ Series A Preferred Shares”). The shares are perpetual, non-callable for a period of five years and have a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. Commencing September 11, 2023, and thereafter, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, and Massachusetts law, AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II may at any time, upon notice of redemption, redeem the NCZ Series A Preferred Shares in whole or in part at the liquidation preference per share plus accumulated unpaid dividends through the date of redemption. Dividends are paid at an annual rate of 5.50% on a quarterly basis, and commenced on October 1, 2018, with the first such payment pro-rated from the date of issuance.

On September 20, 2018, AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund issued 4,000,000 shares of 5.625% Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares with an aggregate liquidation value of $100,000,000 (“NCV Series A Preferred Shares”). The shares are perpetual, non-callable for a period of five years and have a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. Commencing September 20, 2023, and thereafter, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, and Massachusetts law, AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund may at any time, upon notice of redemption, redeem the NCV Series A Preferred Shares in whole or in part at the liquidation preference per share plus accumulated unpaid dividends through the date of redemption. Dividends are paid at an annual rate of 5.625% on a quarterly basis, and commenced on October 1, 2018, with the first such payment pro-rated from the date of issuance. In conjunction with Fitch Ratings publishing revised ratings criteria, which included new, lower ratings caps for closed-end funds, the Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares of AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II and AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund were downgraded from a long-term rating of “AA” to “A” on May 21, 2021.

On December 16, 2020, the Board of Trustees of the AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund and AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II approved a Repurchase Plan (“Repurchase Plan”) with respect to the outstanding series A cumulative preferred shares (“CPS”) issued by the Funds. Each Fund has access to a short-term revolving credit facility (as outlined in Note 8). Pursuant to the Repurchase Plan, the Funds would repurchase its CPS in the open market on any trading day when (i) a Fund’s CPS are trading at a market price at or below their liquidation preference ($25.00 per share), provided the current rate of interest on its Liquidity Facility is less than or equal to 5.00% or (ii) a Fund’s CPS are trading at a market price which represents a premium of up to 1.00% above their liquidation preference (up to $25.25) provided the current rate of interest on its Liquidity Facility is less than or equal to 3.00% for AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund or less than or equal to 2.75% for AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II, subject, in each case, to the terms and conditions of the Repurchase Plan and input from the portfolio management team as to market conditions and other factors. Any repurchases will be made consistently with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On each day that shares are repurchased under the Repurchase Plan, a Fund may repurchase its shares in an amount up to 25% of the average daily trading volume of the CPS over the trailing four week period. It is currently expected that each Fund would borrow under its respective Liquidity Facility to replace any leverage reduced through the Repurchase Plan.

Note 11. Indemnifications

Under the Funds’ organizational documents, the Funds, Trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide a variety of indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and that have not occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these arrangements and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

At this time, the Funds and the Adviser believe that the outcomes of such matters are not likely, either individually, or in the aggregate, to be material to these financial statements.

Note 15. Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.
