Pioneer Diversified High Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE: HNW) filed its Form N-CSR for the fiscal year ended 30 April 2025. The closed-end fund delivered a total return of 11.66 % at NAV and 15.87 % at market price, comfortably ahead of its 50 % ICE BofA Global High Yield / 50 % Morningstar-LSTA Leveraged Loan composite benchmark, which gained 8.15 %.

Key performance datapoints

• Average peer-group (34 high-yield CEFs) return: 11.04 % at NAV / 15.99 % at market.
• Discount to NAV narrowed from 8.47 % (4/30/24) to 5.02 % (4/30/25).
• 30-day SEC yield: 10.40 % versus 6.79 % a year earlier.
• Monthly distribution rate raised twice鈥擬ay 2024 to $0.0975 and Feb 2025 to $0.1000 per share. Distributions exceeded net investment income, drawing on prior UNII.

Portfolio & leverage

• Borrowings: $43 m, up $2 m; leverage ratio 29.6 % of managed assets (vs. 28.4 %). Average borrowing cost fell 94 bp during the year.
• Asset mix: 83.6 % high-yield corporates, 28.9 % insurance-linked securities (ILS), 10.6 % CMBS, 4.8 % ABS, 5.8 % senior secured loans and other smaller buckets. (Totals >100 % reflect leverage.)
• Credit quality tilt remained toward lower-rated and non-rated bonds; leverage and a bias to CCC/unrated issues drove outperformance.

Management & strategic developments

• Adviser change: Effective 1 April 2025 advisory duties moved from Amundi US to Victory Capital Management Inc.
• Liquidation proposal: On 6 May 2025, the Board approved a plan of liquidation. Shareholders will vote at a forthcoming special meeting; the Board recommends approval. If passed, investors would receive cash at NAV, effectively eliminating the market-price discount.

Drivers of FY 25 results

• Positive: Leverage in a rising market; strong performance of Latin-American airline bonds (Abra Global, Aeromexico); ILS allocation (increased from 19.0 % to 20.4 %) benefitted from favourable hurricane outcomes and elevated reinsurance pricing; asset-backed servicing-advance deal.
• Negative: Sector underweights in media & telecom plus overweights in basic industry and energy; individual detractors included Cornerstone Building Brands and Ineos Quattro loans; RMBS modestly lagged.

Outlook

The managers cite tariff uncertainty and a bimodal Fed-policy path as key macro variables. They expect slower but positive U.S. growth under a 10 % 鈥渦niversal tariff鈥� scenario, and maintain a cautious view on high-yield spreads (target >300 bp over Treasuries). Within securitized products the team remains wary of older-vintage office CMBS and continues to favour loans (benefitting from higher front-end yields) and catastrophe-linked ILS for diversification.

Material implications for investors: If liquidation is approved, shareholders may realize NAV in cash, likely collapsing the 5 % discount and shortening investment horizon risk. Until then, the fund continues to employ almost 30 % leverage and pursue high-yield/ILS strategies under new management.
