IMPORTANT NOTICE – UPCOMING CHANGES TO PIONEER FUNDS ANNUAL & SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted rule and form amendments that will result in changes to the design and delivery of annual and semi-annual fund reports (“Reports”). Beginning in July 2024, Reports will be streamlined to highlight key information (“Redesigned Reports”). Certain information currently included in the Reports, including financial statements, will no longer appear in the Reports but will be available online, delivered free of charge to shareholders upon request, and filed with the SEC.
If you previously elected to receive the Fund's Reports electronically, you will continue to receive the Redesigned Reports electronically. Otherwise, you will receive paper copies of the Fund's Redesigned Reports via USPS mail starting in July 2024. If you would like to receive the Fund's Redesigned Reports (and/or other communications) electronically instead of by mail, please contact your financial advisor or, if you are a direct investor, please log into your mutual fund account at amundi.com/usinvestors and select “E-Delivery” under the Profile page.

Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/241
Portfolio Management Discussion | 3/31/24
In the following interview, Yves Raymond, David Chamberlain, and Andrew Acheson discuss the factors that affected the performance of Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund during the 12-month period. Mr. Raymond, a senior vice president and a portfolio manager at Amundi Asset Management US (Amundi US); Mr. Chamberlain, a senior vice president and a portfolio manager at Amundi US; Matthew Gormley, an associate portfolio manager at Amundi US; and Mr. Acheson, Managing Director, Director of Growth, US, are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.
Q | How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2024? |
A | Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund’s Class A shares returned 36.29% at net asset value during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2024, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the Russell Index) returned 39.00%. During the same 12-month period, the average return for the 1,203 mutual funds in Morningstar’s Large Growth Funds category was 36.57%. |
Q | Which investment strategies or individual portfolio holdings detracted from the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance results during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2024? |
A | The portfolio’s underweight to the Magnificent 7 for risk control reasons was a significant headwind to performance, as was the underweight in high price-to-earnings (P/E) stocks due to our valuation discipline. In addition, at the sector level, the portfolio’s underweight to information technology (driven by the underweight to the megacaps) significantly detracted from performance as did the overweight for stock-specific reasons to energy, financials, and health care. |
| The biggest individual detractor was our underweight in information technology company NVIDIA, a giant in data centers and gaming. The stock plummeted in 2022 but subsequently rallied on better than expected earnings driven by spending on artificial intelligence. In late 2022 we had initiated a position in this leading graphic processing unit manufacturer at what we considered an attractive valuation, but the stock quickly rallied before we could establish a full position. We remain underweight to NVIDIA based on valuation, and concerns that NVIDIA will not be able to maintain pricing and record high profit margins as competition intensifies. |
2Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
| Another larger individual detractor was our underweight in Meta Platforms as the company’s shares have continuously risen over the period as a result of better-than-expected financial results. The portfolio does not hold Meta Platforms due to governance concerns. In recent years, the company has exhibited varying levels of capital discipline under CEO Mark Zuckerberg (who has voting control). The variability in capital allocation discipline makes it difficult for the portfolio to hold Meta Platforms given our focus on investing in companies that maintain a consistent focus on profitable growth over time. |
Q | Which of your investment strategies or individual portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance over the period? |
A | The largest individual contributor was our underweight in Apple, after an up-and-down year resulting in a return well below the index. Over the period the stock had a couple of larger drawdown periods after China restricted government-sponsored enterprise use of non-China smartphones, iPhone shipment declines, especially in China and policy issues in the EU and US with the App Store. While Chinese citizens are still free to purchase iPhones, geopolitical tensions between the US and China make the future prospects for Apple in China less certain. Apple produces iPhones in China and derives almost 20% of its revenue from the country. |
| Another larger individual contributor for the year came from Eli Lilly as the stock has hit record highs after successfully launching a diabetes and weight loss drug, Mounjaro. Competitor Novo-Nordisk released strong clinical data for its drug Wegovy, which validated the class of drugs and provided a lift to Eli Lilly’s stock price. |
Q | Did the Fund have any exposure to derivatives during the 12- month period ended March 31, 2024? |
A | No, the Fund had no exposure to derivatives during the period. |
Q | What is your outlook, and how is the Fund positioned heading into its new fiscal year? |
A | The soft-landing scenario has now been broadly accepted by investors, and appears reflected in what would generally be |
Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/243
| regarded as very elevated equity market multiples. It would be unusual for the economy to fall into recession during an election year, as politicians throw caution to the wind to elevate their chances of re-election. However, there have been 3 occasions in the past 60 years or so when recessions started in those years. Considerable risks remain into 2025 no matter how the elections unfold later this year. |
| Economic data has remained remarkably strong in Q1, and has pretty consistently beaten expectations. The job market remains tight, though some leading indicators are beginning to flag some risks to future prospects. The recent strength of the economy has meant that inflation remains somewhat elevated compared to what had generally been expected. The earlier expectation of six Fed rate cuts this year has now been reduced to three. Strong economic data could easily lead to fewer reductions. Fears of a second wave of inflation could lead the Fed to become more hawkish, and 10-year rates to rise, impacting equity markets negatively. While the Fed may take the unusual step of cutting rates while the economy is growing at a healthy rate, it is unlikely. |
| Overall, we remain cautious, as elevated valuations reflect an optimistic outcome concerning the economy, interest rates, inflation, the federal debt, and the elections. We are highly selective in the stocks that we add to the Portfolio, seeking to avoid speculative and unprofitable companies that could easily fall out of favor again, as they did in 2022. At the sector level, the Portfolio is overweight non-bank financials and health care for stock-specific reasons, and underweight information technology. The underweight in technology is primarily due to limited exposure to Apple for position size limit and valuation reasons. |

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments on pages 15 - 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, armed conflict including Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other government actions, or adverse investor sentiment. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.
The Fund may invest in fewer than 40 securities and, as a result, its 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.

12Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
Comparing Ongoing Fund Expenses
As a shareholder 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. |
Expenses Paid on a $1,000 Investment in Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund
Based on actual returns from October 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024.
Share Class | A | C | K | R | Y |
Beginning Account Value on 10/1/23 | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 |
Ending Account Value (after expenses) on 3/31/24 | $1,253.90 | $1,249.40 | $1,256.10 | $1,251.20 | $1,255.20 |
Expenses Paid During Period* | $5.69 | $9.78 | $3.72 | $7.82 | $4.28 |
| |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.01%, 1.74%, 0.66%, 1.39%, and 0.76% for Class A, Class C, Class K, Class R, and Class Y shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/2413
Comparing Ongoing Fund Expenses (continued)
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) that are charged at the time of the transaction. Therefore, the table below is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements | 3/31/24
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is one of three portfolios comprising Pioneer Series Trust X (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as ammended (the "1940 Act") as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth.
The Fund offers five classes of shares designated as Class A, Class C, Class K, Class R and Class Y shares. Each class of shares represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and has identical rights (based on relative net asset values) to assets and liquidation proceeds. Share classes can bear different rates of class-specific fees and expenses, such as transfer agent and distribution fees. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different dividends from net investment income earned by each class. The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of the Trust gives the Board of Trustees the flexibility to specify either per-share voting or dollar-weighted voting when submitting matters for shareholder approval. Under per-share voting, each share of a class of the Fund is entitled to one vote. Under dollarweighted voting, a shareholder’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 K or 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”).
The Fund is required to comply with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which governs the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 permits funds to enter into derivatives transactions (as defined in Rule 18f-4) and certain other transactions notwithstanding the restrictions on the issuance of “senior securities” under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. Rule 18f-4 requires a fund to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, appoint a derivatives risk manager and comply with a relative or absolute limit on fund leverage
Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/2429
risk calculated based on value-at-risk (“VaR”), unless the fund uses derivatives in only a limited manner (a "limited derivatives user"). The Fund is currently a limited derivatives user for purposes of Rule 18f-4.
The Fund is an investment company and follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). U.S. GAAP requires the management of the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income, expenses and gain or loss on investments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:
A. | Security Valuation |
| The net asset value of the Fund is computed once daily, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. |
| Equity securities that have traded on an exchange are valued by using the last sale price on the principal exchange where they are traded. Equity securities that have not traded on the date of valuation, or securities for which sale prices are not available, generally are valued using the mean between the last bid and asked prices or, if both last bid and asked prices are not available, at the last quoted bid price. Last sale and bid and asked prices are provided by independent third party pricing services. In the case of equity securities not traded on an exchange, prices are typically determined by independent third party pricing services using a variety of techniques and methods. |
| 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 Adviser 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. |
| Securities for which independent pricing services or broker-dealers are unable to supply prices or for which market prices and/or quotations are |
30Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
| not readily available or are considered to be unreliable are valued by a fair valuation team comprised of certain personnel of the Adviser. The Adviser is designated as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Adviser’s fair valuation team is responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair valued securities. |
| Inputs used when applying fair value methods to value a security may include credit ratings, the financial condition of the company, current market conditions and comparable securities. The Adviser may use fair value methods if it is determined that a significant event has occurred after the close of the exchange or market on which the security trades and prior to the determination of the Fund's net asset value. Examples of a significant event might include political or economic news, corporate restructurings, natural disasters, terrorist activity or trading halts. Thus, the valuation of the Fund's securities may differ significantly from exchange prices, and such differences could be material. |
| Repurchase agreements are valued at par. Cash may include overnight time deposits at approved financial institutions. |
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. |
C. | Federal Income Taxes |
| It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income and net realized capital gains, if |
Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/2431
| any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of March 31, 2024, the Fund did not accrue any interest or penalties with respect to uncertain tax positions, which, if applicable, would be recorded as an income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. Tax returns filed within the prior three years remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities. |
| The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to shareholders 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. |
| The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, was as follows: |
| 2024 | 2023 |
Distributions paid from: | | |
Ordinary income | $ 23,217,939 | $ 11,767,976 |
Long-term capital gains | 199,136,944 | 201,500,797 |
Total | $222,354,883 | $213,268,773 |
The following shows the components of distributable earnings (losses) on a federal income tax basis at March 31, 2024:
| 2024 |
Distributable earnings/(losses): | |
Undistributed ordinary income | $ 2,569,933 |
Undistributed long-term capital gains | 100,390,625 |
Net unrealized appreciation | 4,287,346,271 |
Total | $ 4,390,306,829 |
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Fund utilized $2,017,329 of its capital loss carryover from the prior year and has no capital loss carryover as of March 31, 2024.
D. | Fund Shares |
| The Fund records sales and repurchases of its shares as of trade date. The Distributor earned $83,008 in underwriting commissions on the sale of Class A shares during the year ended March 31, 2024. |
32Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
E. | Class Allocations |
| Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated at the Fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on its respective percentage of adjusted net assets at the beginning of the day. |
| Distribution fees are calculated based on the average daily net asset value attributable to Class A, Class C and Class R shares of the Fund, respectively (see Note 5). Class K and Class Y shares do not pay distribution fees. All expenses and fees paid to the Fund’s transfer agent for its services are allocated among the classes of shares based on the number of accounts in each class and the ratable allocation of related out-of-pocket expenses (see Note 4). |
| Distributions to shareholders are recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions paid by the Fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner and at the same time, except that net investment income dividends to Class A, Class C, Class K, Class R and Class Y shares can reflect different transfer agent and distribution expense rates. |
F. | Risks |
| The value of securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inflation, changes in interest rates, armed conflict such as between Russia and Ukraine or in the Middle East, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Inflation and interest rates have increased and may rise further. These circumstances could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments and negatively impact the Fund’s performance. |
| The long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent variants on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced or may experience particularly large losses. Periods of extreme volatility in the financial markets, reduced liquidity of many instruments, increased government debt, inflation, and disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability, may |
Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/2433
| continue for some time. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, geopolitical or other events or conditions. |
| Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time. |
| The U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the U.S. has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. If the political climate between the U.S. and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China were to attempt unification of Taiwan by force, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund’s assets may go down. |
| At times, the Fund’s investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, making the Fund more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors. |
| Normally, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of large companies. Large companies may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the overall equity market. |
| Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In response to the military action by Russia, various countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, and European Union issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Since then, Russian securities have lost all, or nearly all, their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have been adversely affected. The United States and other countries may impose sanctions on other countries, companies and individuals in light of Russia’s military invasion. The extent and duration of the military action or future escalation of such hostilities, the extent and |
34Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
| impact of existing and future sanctions, market disruptions and volatility, and the result of any diplomatic negotiations cannot be predicted. These and any related events could have a significant impact on the value and liquidity of certain Fund investments, on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, particularly with respect to securities and commodities, such as oil, natural gas and food commodities, as well as other sectors with exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other countries affected by the invasion, and are likely to have collateral impacts on market sectors globally. |
| 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 shareholders to effect share purchases, redemptions or exchanges or receive distributions, loss of or unauthorized access to private shareholder 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. |
| As of the date of this report, a significant portion of the Fund’s net asset value is attributable to net unrealized capital gains on portfolio securities. If the Fund realizes capital gains in excess of realized capital losses and any available capital loss carryforwards in any fiscal year, it generally will be required to distribute that excess to shareholders. You may receive distributions that are attributable to appreciation that was |
Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/2435
| present in the Fund’s portfolio securities at the time you made your investment but had not been realized at that time, or that are attributable to capital gains or other income that, although realized by the Fund, had not yet been distributed at the time you made your investment. Unless you purchase shares through a tax-advantaged account (such as an IRA or 401(k) plan), these distributions will be taxable to you. You should consult your tax adviser about the tax consequences of your investment in the Fund. |
| The Fund’s prospectus contains unaudited information regarding the Fund’s principal risks. Please refer to that document when considering the Fund’s principal risks. |
G. | Repurchase Agreements |
| Repurchase agreements are arrangements under which the Fund purchases securities from a broker-dealer or a bank, called the counterparty, upon the agreement of the counterparty to repurchase the securities from the Fund at a later date, and at a specific price, which is typically higher than the purchase price paid by the Fund. The securities purchased serve as the Fund’s collateral for the obligation of the counterparty to repurchase the securities. The value of the collateral, including accrued interest, is required to be equal to or in excess of the repurchase price. The collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in safekeeping in the customer-only account of the Fund’s custodian or a sub-custodian of the Fund. The Adviser is responsible for determining that the value of the collateral remains at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of a default by the counterparty, the Fund is entitled to sell the securities, but the Fund may not be able to sell them for the price at which they were purchased, thus causing a loss to the Fund. Additionally, if the counterparty becomes insolvent, there is some risk that the Fund will not have a right to the securities, or the immediate right to sell the securities. |
| Open repurchase agreements at March 31, 2024 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. |
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 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion, 0.60% of the next $6.5 billion of the Fund’s average daily net assets and 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net assets over $7.5 billion. For the year ended March 31,
36Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
2024, the effective management fee was equivalent to 0.61% 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 and acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation) of the Fund to the extent required to reduce Fund expenses to 1.40% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R. This expense limitation is in effect through August 1, 2024. There can be no assurance that the Adviser will extend the expense limitation agreement beyond the date referred to above. There is no expense limitation arrangement for Class A, Class C, Class K or Class Y shares.
In addition, under the management and administration agreements, certain other services and costs, including accounting, regulatory reporting and insurance premiums, are paid by the Fund as administrative reimbursements. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $742,978 in management fees payable to the Adviser at March 31, 2024.
3. Compensation of Officers and Trustees
The Fund pays an annual fee to its Trustees. The Adviser reimburses the Fund for fees paid to the Interested Trustees. Except for the chief compliance officer, the Fund does not pay any salary or other compensation to its officers. The Fund pays a portion of the chief compliance officer’s compensation for his services as the Fund’s chief compliance officer. Amundi US pays the remaining portion of the chief compliance officer’s compensation. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Fund paid $435,066 in Officers’ and Trustees’ compensation, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Officers’ and Trustees’ fees. At March 31, 2024, on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Fund did not have a payable for Trustees’ fees and had a payable for administrative expenses of $170,434, which includes the payable for Officers’ compensation.
4. Transfer Agent
BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. serves as the transfer agent to the Fund at negotiated rates. Transfer agent fees and payables shown on the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively, include sub-transfer agent expenses incurred through the Fund’s omnibus relationship contracts.
In addition, the Fund reimbursed the transfer agent for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the transfer agent related to shareholder communications activities such as proxy and statement mailings, and
Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/2437
outgoing phone calls. For the year ended March 31, 2024, such out-of-pocket expenses by class of shares were as follows:
Shareholder Communications: | |
Class A | $ 73,434 |
Class C | 17,871 |
Class K | 22,708 |
Class R | 2,909 |
Class Y | 115,072 |
Total | $231,994 |
5. Distribution and Service Plans
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, Class C and Class R 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. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund further pays the Distributor 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares for distribution services. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $106,517 in distribution fees payable to the Distributor at March 31, 2024.
The Fund also has adopted a separate service plan for Class R shares (“Service Plan”). The Service Plan authorizes the Fund to pay securities dealers, plan administrators or other service organizations that agree to provide certain services to retirement plans or plan participants holding shares of the Fund a service fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares held by such plans.
In addition, redemptions of Class A and Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). A CDSC of 1.00% may be imposed on redemptions of certain net asset value purchases of Class A shares within 12 months of purchase. Redemptions of Class C shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a CDSC of 1.00%, based on the lower of cost or market value of shares being redeemed. Shares purchased as part of an exchange remain subject to any CDSC that applied to the original purchase of those shares. There is no CDSC for Class K, Class R or Class Y
38Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
shares. Proceeds from the CDSCs are paid to the Distributor. For the year ended March 31, 2024, CDSCs in the amount of $11,072 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. Until January 31, 2024, the Fund participated in a credit facility in the amount of $380 million. Under such credit facility, depending on the type of loan, interest on borrowings was payable at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a credit spread. The Fund also paid both an upfront fee and an annual commitment fee to participate in the credit facility. The upfront fee in the amount of 0.15% of the total credit facility and the commitment fee in the amount of 0.30% of the daily unused portion of each lender’s commitment were allocated among participating funds based on an allocation schedule set forth in the credit facility. Effective January 31, 2024, the Fund participates in a credit facility in the amount of $250 million, the upfront fee with respect to the credit facility is 0.05% of the total credit facility, and the commitment fee with respect to the credit facility is 0.20% of the daily unused portion of each lender’s commitment. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Fund had no borrowings under the credit facility.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Pioneer Series Trust X and the Shareholders of Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2024, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights and related notes for the year then ended. The statements of changes in net assets for the year ended March 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for the years ended March 31, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020 were audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement highlights in their report dated May 25, 2023. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2024 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights 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 and financial highlights 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 its 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.
40Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. 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 and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Additional Information (unaudited)
On March 25, 2024, Ernst & Young LLP (the “Prior Auditor”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of Pioneer Fundamental Growth Fund (the “Fund”) due to the independence considerations resulting from a change of the independent registered public accounting firm of a related party. The Prior Auditor’s reports on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two fiscal years, the years ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the last two fiscal year-ends and the subsequent interim period through March 25, 2024, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its reports on the Fund's financial statements for such periods; or (2) "reportable events" related to the Fund, as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On March 25, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board approved, and on March 25, 2024, the Board approved, Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered accounting firm of the Fund for fiscal periods ending after March 25, 2024.
For the year ended March 31, 2024, certain dividends paid by the Fund may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 20%. The Fund intends to designate up to the maximum amount of such dividends allowable, as taxed at a maximum rate of 20%. Complete information will be computed and reported in conjunction with your 2024 Form 1099-DIV.
The Fund designated $299,527,569 as long-term capital gains distributions during the year ended March 31, 2024. 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 dividends for the purpose of the corporate dividends received deduction was 100.00%.

Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/241
Portfolio Management Discussion | 3/31/24
In the following interview, Noah Funderburk, Nicolas Pauwels, and Jonathan Sharkey, discuss the factors that affected the performance of Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund during the 12-month period. Mr. Funderburk, a senior vice president, Director of Securitized Credit, and a portfolio manager at Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. (Amundi US); Mr. Pauwels, a vice president, Deputy Director of Securitized Credit, and a portfolio manager at Amundi US; and Mr. Sharkey, a senior vice president and a portfolio manager at Amundi US, are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.
Q | How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2024? |
A | Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund’s Class A shares returned 7.45% at net asset value during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2024, while the Fund’s benchmark, the ICE BofA US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index returned 5.24%. During the same 12-month period, the average return for the 243 mutual funds in Morningstar’s US Fund Ultrashort Bond category was 6.13%. |
Q | Which investment strategies or individual portfolio holdings detracted from the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance results during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2024? |
A | The portfolio’s longer-than-benchmark yield-curve positioning detracted from the quarter’s benchmark-relative performance, given interest rate volatility. Agency MBS allocations also detracted from returns for the period. |
Q | Which of your investment strategies or individual portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance over the period? |
A | Credit assets generally outperformed like-duration Treasuries, leading to outperformance in most non-government sectors over the period. Investment grade corporates, particularly the exposure to the financial sector, contributed to positive returns as spreads continued to grind tighter based on strong investor risk appetite and strong economic data. The Fund’s securitized credit exposures, including allocations to asset-backed securities (ABS), residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), all contributed as they had been carrying higher yields compared to similarly rated corporate securities. Insurance-linked securities and bank loans were also |
2Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
| positive contributors for the period but remain remained small allocations within the Fund. |
Q | Did the Fund have any exposure to derivatives during the 12- month period ended March 31, 2024? |
A | The Fund utilized interest rate hedges to offset the rate risk inherent to some of the Fund’s positions, but this amounted to a very small portion of the Fund’s notional value. |
Q | What is your outlook, and how is the Fund positioned heading into its new fiscal year? |
A | In our view, market-implied pricing of Fed rate cuts in 2024 is no longer unreasonable, and we see good value in the front end of the Treasury curve (two to five year maturities). While market pricing of three 25 basis point rate cuts in 2024 is a reasonable baseline for a soft-landing inflation scenario, one must consider other potential outcomes. We expect that a recessionary scenario could lead to significantly greater rate cuts, while the “no landing” scenario of more persistent inflation would only delay the start of rate cuts. As such, the overall distribution of outcomes for the Fed Funds rate in a year’s time is skewed to the downside: the weighted average across future Fed Funds scenarios is lower than current market pricing. We remain concerned about a steepening of the yield curve, however. The US government deficit, at 6.3% of gross domestic product (GDP), is elevated by historical standards and will increase significantly in coming years if current laws governing taxes and spending generally remain unchanged. Budget deficit growth on its current projected path could increase Federal debt held by the public far beyond any previously recorded level, and we believe markets will likely demand a higher term premium to hold more Treasury notes and bonds. In the medium term, we see the elevated likelihood of a return of the “bond vigilantes” of the early 1990s – a scenario in which significantly higher long-term Treasury yields are required to force Congress to enact necessary fiscal adjustments to reduce deficits to a sustainable level. In terms of sector allocation, our views are largely unchanged, as relatively narrow spreads justify lower-than-normal exposure to spread risk, and we continue to selectively favor higher-quality and shorter-duration exposure within spread sectors. |
| The Portfolio by prospectus must have at least 80% of its assets in investment grade (IG) securities, and is currently positioned |

| even more conservatively with a bit over 90% in IG. The portfolio management team has been preparing for potential economic weakness and has been scrupulous on the debtors of our bonds. |
| To potentially mitigate future volatility, we have increased our liquidity levels overall, holding 15%+ in cash and cash equivalents. Currently, the Portfolio has less than 10% in below-IG bonds, and we are very selective in this exposure, targeting areas we believe are of better quality than recognized by the market (such as seasoned US housing exposure). A large portion of the securitized credit exposure is tied to the US housing market, which is holding up very well in our view given the constrained new home supply levels. We believe if market weakness caused the Fed to cut rates, housing could get a boost from lower mortgage rates. |
| We believe the Fund is well positioned for continued Fed rate volatility, which we believe skews towards rate-cuts in 2024. We have marginally increased overall duration and reduced the Fund's exposure to floating-rate securities based on this outlook. |
| We are maintaining a significant portfolio allocation to highly liquid securities such as repurchase agreements, Treasuries, and other liquid instruments - which we believe will allow us to opportunistically add credit if market volatility presents itself. |

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments on pages 17 - 82 for a full listing of Fund securities.
All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility and heightened uncertainty. The market prices of securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political, or regulatory conditions, recessions, inflation, changes in interest or currency rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, armed conflict including Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other government actions, or adverse investor sentiment. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.
Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income (“MAUI”) Fund has the ability to invest in a wide variety of debt securities.
Until recently, a commonly used reference rate for floating rate securities was LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). Publication of most LIBOR settings has ceased on a representative basis. The impact of the transition from LIBOR on the Fund’s transactions and financial markets generally cannot yet be determined.
The Fund may invest in underlying funds, including ETFs. In addition to the Fund’s operating expenses, you will indirectly bear the operating expenses of investments in any underlying funds.
The Fund and some of the underlying funds employ leverage, which increases the volatility of investment returns and subjects the Fund to magnified losses if an underlying fund’s investments decline in value.
The Fund may use derivatives, such as options, futures, inverse-floating-rate obligations, swaps, and others, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance.
The Fund may invest in credit default swaps, which may in some cases be illiquid, and they increase credit risk since the Fund has exposure to both the issuer of the referenced obligation and the counterparty to the credit default swap.
The Fund may invest in subordinated securities, which may be proportionately adversely affected by a default or even a perceived decline creditworthiness of the issuer.
Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/245
The Fund may invest in floating-rate loans. The value of collateral, if any, securing a floating-rate loan can decline or may be insufficient to meet the Issuer’s obligations or may be difficult to liquidate.
The Fund may invest in insurance-linked securities (ILS). 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 a trigger event that leads to physical or economic loss. ILS may expose the Fund to issuer (credit) default, liquidity, and other risks.
The Fund may invest in zero-coupon bonds and payment-in-kind securities, which may be more speculative and fluctuate more in value than other fixed-income securities. The accrual of income from these securities are payable as taxable annual dividends to shareholders.
Investments in equity securities are subject to price fluctuation.
International investments are subject to special risks including currency fluctuations, social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
Investments in fixed-income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation, and reinvestment risks. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities falls.
The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities, which during times of fluctuating interest rates may increase or decrease more than other fixed-income securities. Mortgage-backed securities are also subject to pre-payments.
Prepayment risk is the chance that an issuer may exercise its right to prepay its security, if falling interest rates prompt the issuer to do so. Forced to reinvest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, the Fund would experience a decline in income and lose the opportunity for additional price appreciation.
High-yield bonds possess greater price volatility, illiquidity, and possibility of default.
There may be insufficient or illiquid collateral securing the floating-rate loans held within the Fund. This may reduce the future redemption or recovery value of such loans.
The Fund may have disadvantaged access to confidential information that could be used to assess a loan issuer, as Amundi US normally seeks to avoid receiving material, non-public information.
Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund is not a money market fund. These risks may increase share price volatility.

The ICE Bank of America U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Index measures the performance of a single issue of outstanding Treasury bills which mature closest to, but not beyond, three months from the rebalancing date. The issue is purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month; at the end of the month, that issue is sold and rolled into a newly selected issue. Indices are unmanaged and their returns assume reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

14Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
Comparing Ongoing Fund Expenses
As a shareholder 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. |
Expenses Paid on a $1,000 Investment in Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund
Based on actual returns from October 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024.
Share Class | A | C | C2 | K | Y |
Beginning Account Value on 10/1/23 | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 |
Ending Account Value (after expenses) on 3/31/24 | $1,036.80 | $1,035.10 | $1,035.20 | $1,037.90 | $1,037.50 |
Expenses Paid During Period* | $3.06 | $4.63 | $4.53 | $1.89 | $2.34 |
| |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.60%, 0.91%, 0.89%, 0.37%, and 0.46% for Class A, Class C, Class C2, Class K, and Class Y shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/2415
Comparing Ongoing Fund Expenses (continued)
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.

Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/2491
Notes to Financial Statements | 3/31/24
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund (the “Fund”) is one of three portfolios comprising Pioneer Series Trust X (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek a high level of current income to the extent consistent with a relatively high level of stability of principal.
The Fund offers five classes of shares designated as Class A, Class C, Class C2, Class K 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 Trust gives the Board of Trustees the flexibility to specify either per-share voting or dollar-weighted voting when submitting matters for shareholder approval. Under per-share voting, each share of a class of the Fund is entitled to one vote. Under dollar-weighted voting, a shareholder’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 K or 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”).
The Fund is required to comply with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which governs the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 permits funds to enter into derivatives transactions (as defined in Rule 18f-4) and certain other transactions notwithstanding the restrictions on the issuance of “senior securities” under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. In accordance with Rule 18f-4, the Fund has established and maintains a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, has
92Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
appointed a derivatives risk manager and complies with a relative or absolute limit on fund leverage risk calculated based on value-at-risk (“VaR”).
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. |
| Fixed income securities are valued by using prices supplied by independent pricing services, which consider such factors as market prices, market events, quotations from one or more brokers, Treasury spreads, yields, maturities and ratings, or may use a pricing matrix or other fair value methods or techniques to provide an estimated value of the security or instrument. A pricing matrix is a means of valuing a debt security on the basis of current market prices for other debt securities, historical trading patterns in the market for fixed income securities and/or other factors. Non-U.S. debt securities that are listed on an exchange will be valued at the bid price obtained from an independent third party pricing service. When independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices, or when prices or market quotations are considered to be unreliable, the value of that security may be determined using quotations from one or more broker-dealers. |
| Loan interests are valued at the mean between the last available bid and asked prices from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from Loan Pricing Corporation, an independent third party pricing service. If price information is not available from Loan Pricing Corporation, or if the price information is deemed to be unreliable, price information will be obtained from an alternative loan interest pricing service. If no reliable price quotes are available from either the primary or alternative pricing service, broker quotes will be solicited. |
Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/2493
| Event-linked bonds are valued at the bid price obtained from an independent third party pricing service. Other insurance-linked securities (including reinsurance sidecars, collateralized reinsurance and industry loss warranties) may be valued at the bid price obtained from an independent pricing service, or through a third party using a pricing matrix, insurance industry valuation models, or other fair value methods or techniques to provide an estimated value of the instrument. |
| Futures contracts are generally valued at the closing settlement price established by the exchange on which they are traded. |
| 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 Adviser may use a fair value model developed by an independent pricing service to value non-U.S. equity securities. |
| Repurchase agreements are valued at par. Cash may include overnight time deposits at approved financial institutions. |
| Securities or loan interests for which independent pricing services or broker-dealers are unable to supply prices or for which market prices and/or quotations are not readily available or are considered to be unreliable are valued by a fair valuation team comprised of certain personnel of the Adviser. The Adviser is designated as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Adviser’s fair valuation team is responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair valued securities. |
| Inputs used when applying fair value methods to value a security may include credit ratings, the financial condition of the company, current market conditions and comparable securities. The Adviser may use fair value methods if it is determined that a significant event has occurred after the close of the exchange or market on which the security trades and prior to the determination of the Fund’s net asset value. Examples of a significant event might include political or economic news, corporate restructurings, natural disasters, terrorist activity or trading halts. Thus, the valuation of the Fund’s securities may differ significantly from exchange prices, and such differences could be material. |
94Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
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. |
| Principal amounts of mortgage-backed securities are adjusted for monthly paydowns. Premiums and discounts related to certain mortgage-backed securities are amortized or accreted in proportion to the monthly paydowns. All discounts/premiums on purchase prices of debt securities are accreted/amortized for financial reporting purposes over the life of the respective securities, and such accretion/amortization is included in interest income. |
| 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. |
C. | Federal Income Taxes |
| It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of March 31, 2024, the Fund did not accrue any interest or penalties with respect to uncertain tax positions, which, if applicable, would be recorded as an income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. Tax returns filed within the prior three years remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities. |
| The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to shareholders 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 |
Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/2495
| statements are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character, but are not adjusted for temporary differences. |
| At March 31, 2024, the Fund reclassified $2,610,561 to decrease distributable earnings and $2,610,561 to increase paid-in capital to reflect permanent book/tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. |
| At March 31, 2024, the Fund deferred $991,866 of late-year ordinary losses, which will be recognized by the Fund as occurring at the start of the next fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. |
| At March 31, 2024, the Fund was permitted to carry forward indefinitely $157,372,069 of short-term losses and $117,325,054 of long-term losses. |
| The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, was as follows: |
| 2024 | 2023 |
Distributions paid from: | | |
Ordinary income | $286,458,979 | $157,383,538 |
Tax return of capital | 2,756,518 | — |
Total | $289,215,497 | $157,383,538 |
The following shows the components of distributable earnings (losses) on a federal income tax basis at March 31, 2024:
| 2024 |
Distributable earnings/(losses): | |
Capital loss carryforward | $ (274,697,123) |
Other book/tax temporary differences | (4,585,977) |
Net unrealized depreciation | (17,345,495) |
Qualified late year loss deferral | (991,866) |
Total | $(297,620,461) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized depreciation is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, adjustments relating to event-linked bonds, insurance-linked securities and the tax treatment of premium and amortization.
D. | Fund Shares |
| The Fund records sales and repurchases of its shares as of trade date. The Distributor did not earn underwriting commissions on the sale of Class A shares during the year ended March 31, 2024. |
96Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
E. | Class Allocations |
| Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated at the Fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on its respective percentage of adjusted net assets at the beginning of the day. |
| Distribution fees are calculated based on the average daily net asset value attributable to Class A, Class C and Class C2 shares of the Fund, respectively (see Note 5). Class K and Class Y shares do not pay distribution fees. All expenses and fees paid to the Fund’s transfer agent for its services are allocated among the classes of shares based on the number of accounts in each class and the ratable allocation of related out-of-pocket expenses (see Note 4). |
| The Fund declares as daily dividends substantially all of its net investment income. All dividends are paid on a monthly basis. Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, may be declared with the daily dividends. Distributions to shareholders are recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions paid by the Fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner and at the same time, except that net investment income dividends to Class A, Class C, Class C2, Class K and Class Y shares can reflect different transfer agent and distribution expense rates. |
F. | Risks |
| The value of securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inflation, changes in interest rates, armed conflict such as between Russia and Ukraine or in the Middle East, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Inflation and interest rates have increased and may rise further. These circumstances could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments and negatively impact the Fund’s performance. |
| The long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent variants on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced or may experience particularly large losses. Periods of |
Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/2497
| extreme volatility in the financial markets, reduced liquidity of many instruments, increased government debt, inflation, and disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability, may continue for some time. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, geopolitical or other events or conditions. |
| Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time. |
| The U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the U.S. has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. If the political climate between the U.S. and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China were to attempt unification of Taiwan by force, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund’s assets may go down. |
| 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, military conflicts and sanctions, terrorism, sustained economic downturns, financial instability, less liquid trading markets, extreme price volatility, currency risks, reduction of government or central bank support, inadequate accounting standards, tariffs, tax disputes or other tax burdens, nationalization or expropriation of assets and the imposition of adverse governmental laws, arbitrary application of laws and regulations or lack of rule of law |
98Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
| and investment and repatriation restrictions. Lack of information and less market regulation also may affect the value of these securities. Withholding and other non-U.S. taxes may decrease the Fund’s return. Non-U.S. issuers may be located in parts of the world that have historically been prone to natural disasters. Investing in depositary receipts is subject to many of the same risks as investing directly in non-U.S. issuers. Depositary receipts may involve higher expenses and may trade at a discount (or premium) to the underlying security. |
| Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In response to the military action by Russia, various countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, and European Union issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Since then, Russian securities have lost all, or nearly all, their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have been adversely affected. The United States and other countries may impose sanctions on other countries, companies and individuals in light of Russia’s military invasion. The extent and duration of the military action or future escalation of such hostilities, the extent and impact of existing and future sanctions, market disruptions and volatility, and the result of any diplomatic negotiations cannot be predicted. These and any related events could have a significant impact on the value and liquidity of certain Fund investments, on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, particularly with respect to securities and commodities, such as oil, natural gas and food commodities, as well as other sectors with exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other countries affected by the invasion, and are likely to have collateral impacts on market sectors globally. |
| The Fund may invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities. The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Mortgage-backed securities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rate than other types of debt securities. These securities are also subject to prepayment and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets and are thus subject to the risk of default. The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage-backed investments offered by non-governmental issuers and those that include so-called “sub-prime” mortgages. The structure of some of these securities may be complex |
Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/2499
| and there may be less available information than for other types of debt securities. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events or defaults, the Fund may become the holder of underlying assets at a time when those assets may be difficult to sell or may be sold only at a loss. |
| The Fund may invest in credit risk transfer securities. Credit risk transfer securities are unguaranteed and unsecured debt securities issued by government sponsored enterprises and therefore are not directly linked to or backed by the underlying mortgage loans. As a result, in the event that a government sponsored enterprise fails to pay principal or interest on its credit risk transfer securities or goes through a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, holders of such credit risk transfer securities have no direct recourse to the underlying mortgage loans and will generally receive recovery on par with other unsecured note holders in such a scenario. The risks associated with an investment in credit risk transfer securities are different than the risks associated with an investment in mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or other government sponsored enterprise or issued by a private issuer, because some or all of the mortgage default or credit risk associated with the underlying mortgage loans is transferred to investors. As a result, investors in these securities could lose some or all of their investment in these securities if the underlying mortgage loans default. |
| The Fund invests in below-investment-grade (high-yield) debt securities and preferred stocks. Some of these high-yield securities may be convertible into equity securities of the issuer. Debt securities rated below-investment-grade are commonly referred to as “junk bonds” and are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. These securities involve greater risk of loss, are subject to greater price volatility, and may be less liquid and more difficult to value, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or change, than higher rated debt securities. |
| The market prices of the Fund’s fixed income securities may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. The value of your investment will generally go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. For example, if interest rates increase by 1%, the value of a Fund’s portfolio with a portfolio duration of ten years would be expected to decrease by 10%, all other things being equal. In recent years interest rates and credit spreads in the U.S. have been at historic lows. The U.S. Federal Reserve has raised certain interest rates, and interest rates may continue to go up. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income securities. The maturity of |
100Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
| a security may be significantly longer than its effective duration. A security’s maturity and other features may be more relevant than its effective duration in determining the security’s sensitivity to other factors affecting the issuer or markets generally, such as changes in credit quality or in the yield premium that the market may establish for certain types of securities (sometimes called “credit spread”). In general, the longer its maturity the more a security may be susceptible to these factors. When the credit spread for a fixed income security goes up, or “widens”, the value of the security will generally go down. |
| If an issuer or guarantor of a security held by the Fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the Fund defaults on its obligation to pay principal and/or interest, has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. Changes in actual or perceived creditworthiness may occur quickly. The Fund could be delayed or hindered in its enforcement of rights against an issuer, guarantor or counterparty. |
| The Fund’s investments, payment obligations and financing terms may be based on floating rates, such as LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) or SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate). ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, has ceased publication of most LIBOR settings on a representative basis. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in most major currencies. In the U.S., a common benchmark replacement is based on the SOFR published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, including certain spread adjustments and benchmark replacement conforming changes, although other benchmark replacements (without or without spread adjustments) may be used in certain transactions. The impact of the transition from LIBOR on the Fund’s transactions and financial markets generally cannot yet be determined. The transition away from LIBOR may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for instruments that have relied on LIBOR and may adversely affect the Fund’s performance. |
| 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 |
Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24101
| 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 shareholders to effect share purchases, redemptions or exchanges or receive distributions, loss of or unauthorized access to private shareholder 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. |
| 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. |
G. | Restricted Securities |
| Restricted Securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Private placement securities are generally considered to be restricted except for those securities traded between qualified institutional investors under the provisions of Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. |
| Disposal of restricted investments may involve negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult to achieve. Restricted investments held by the Fund at March 31, 2024 are listed in the Schedule of Investments. |
H. | Insurance-Linked Securities (“ILS”) |
| The Fund invests in ILS. The Fund could lose a portion or all of the principal it has invested in an ILS, and the right to additional interest or dividend payments with respect to the security, upon the occurrence of one or more trigger events, as defined within the terms of an insurance-linked security. Trigger events, generally, are hurricanes, earthquakes, or other natural events of a specific size or magnitude that occur in a designated geographic region during a specified time period, and/or that |
102Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
| involve losses or other metrics that exceed a specific amount. There is no way to accurately predict whether a trigger event will occur, and accordingly, ILS carry significant risk. The Fund is entitled to receive principal, and interest and/or dividend payments so long as no trigger event occurs of the description and magnitude specified by the instrument. In addition to the specified trigger events, 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’s investments in ILS may include event-linked bonds. ILS also may include special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”) or similar instruments structured to comprise a portion of a reinsurer’s catastrophe-oriented business, known as quota share instruments (sometimes referred to as reinsurance sidecars), or to provide reinsurance relating to specific risks to insurance or reinsurance companies through a collateralized instrument, known as collateralized reinsurance. Structured reinsurance investments also may include industry loss warranties (“ILWs”). A traditional ILW takes the form of a bilateral reinsurance contract, but there are also products that take the form of derivatives, collateralized structures, or exchange-traded instruments. |
| Where the ILS are based on the performance of underlying reinsurance contracts, the Fund has limited transparency into the individual underlying contracts, and therefore must rely upon the risk assessment and sound underwriting practices of the issuer. Accordingly, it may be more difficult for the Adviser to fully evaluate the underlying risk profile of the Fund’s structured reinsurance investments, and therefore the Fund’s assets are placed at greater risk of loss than if the Adviser had more complete information. Structured reinsurance instruments generally will be considered illiquid securities by the Fund. These securities may be difficult to purchase, sell or unwind. Illiquid securities also may be difficult to value. If the Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset, the Fund may be forced to sell at a loss. |
I. | Repurchase Agreements |
| Repurchase agreements are arrangements under which the Fund purchases securities from a broker-dealer or a bank, called the counterparty, upon the agreement of the counterparty to repurchase the securities from the Fund at a later date, and at a specific price, which is typically higher than the purchase price paid by the Fund. The securities purchased serve as the Fund’s collateral for the obligation of the counterparty to repurchase the securities. The value of the collateral, including accrued interest, is required to be equal to or in excess of the |
Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24103
| repurchase price. The collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in safekeeping in the customer-only account of the Fund’s custodian or a sub-custodian of the Fund. The Adviser is responsible for determining that the value of the collateral remains at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of a default by the counterparty, the Fund is entitled to sell the securities, but the Fund may not be able to sell them for the price at which they were purchased, thus causing a loss to the Fund. Additionally, if the counterparty becomes insolvent, there is some risk that the Fund will not have a right to the securities, or the immediate right to sell the securities. |
| Open repurchase agreements at March 31, 2024 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. |
J. | TBA Purchase and Sales Commitments |
| The Fund may enter into to-be-announced (TBA) purchase or sale commitments (collectively, TBA transactions), pursuant to which it agrees to purchase or sell, respectively, mortgage-backed securities for a fixed unit price, with payment and delivery at a scheduled future date beyond the customary settlement period for such securities. With TBA transactions, the particular securities to be received or delivered by the Fund are not identified at the trade date; however, the securities must meet specified terms, including issuer, rate, and mortgage term, and be within industry-accepted “good delivery” standards. The Fund may enter into TBA transactions with the intention of taking possession of or relinquishing the underlying securities, may elect to extend the settlement by “rolling” the transaction, and/or may use TBA transactions to gain or reduce interim exposure to underlying securities. Until settlement, the Fund maintains liquid assets sufficient to settle its commitment to purchase a TBA or, in the case of a sale commitment, the Fund maintains an entitlement to the security to be sold. |
| To mitigate counterparty risk, the Fund has entered into agreements with TBA counterparties that provide for collateral and the right to offset amounts due to or from those counterparties under specified conditions. Subject to minimum transfer amounts, collateral requirements are determined and transfers made based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on all TBA commitments with a particular counterparty. At any time, the Fund’s risk of loss from a particular counterparty related to its TBA commitments is the aggregate unrealized gain on appreciated TBAs in excess of unrealized loss on depreciated TBAs and collateral received, if any, from such counterparty. As of March 31, 2024, no collateral was pledged by the Fund. Collateral received from counterparties totaled $0 for TBAs. |
104Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
K. | Futures Contracts |
| The Fund may enter into futures transactions in order to attempt to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices and currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are types of derivatives. |
| All futures contracts entered into by the Fund are traded on a futures exchange. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of the associated futures exchange. The amount of cash deposited with the broker as collateral is recorded as "Futures collateral" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
| Subsequent payments for futures contracts ("variation margin") are paid or received by the Fund, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts, and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Cash received from or paid to the broker related to previous margin movement is held in a segregated account at the broker and is recorded as either "Due from broker for futures" or "Due to broker for futures" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract as well as any fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates where applicable. Futures contracts are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and currency exchange rate risk. Changes in value of the contracts may not directly correlate to the changes in value of the underlying securities. With futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. |
| The average notional values of futures contracts long position and futures contracts short position during the year ended March 31, 2024 were $0 and $41,799,896, respectively. There were no open futures contracts outstanding at March 31, 2024. |
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 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion, 0.30% of the next $4 billion of the Fund’s average daily net assets, 0.25% of the next $2.5 billion of the Fund’s average daily net assets and 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net
Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24105
assets over $7.5 billion. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the effective management fee was equivalent to 0.31% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
In addition, under the management and administration agreements, certain other services and costs, including accounting, regulatory reporting and insurance premiums, are paid by the Fund as administrative reimbursements. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $264,483 in management fees payable to the Adviser at March 31, 2024.
3. Compensation of Officers and Trustees
The Fund pays an annual fee to its Trustees. The Adviser reimburses the Fund for fees paid to the Interested Trustees. Except for the chief compliance officer, the Fund does not pay any salary or other compensation to its officers. The Fund pays a portion of the chief compliance officer’s compensation for his services as the Fund’s chief compliance officer. Amundi US pays the remaining portion of the chief compliance officer’s compensation. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Fund paid $295,091 in Officers’ and Trustees’ compensation, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Officers’ and Trustees’ fees. At March 31, 2024, on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Fund had a payable for Trustees’ fees of $15,184 and a payable for administrative expenses of $122,652, which includes the payable for Officers’ compensation.
4. Transfer Agent
BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. serves as the transfer agent to the Fund at negotiated rates. Transfer agent fees and payables shown on the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively, include sub-transfer agent expenses incurred through the Fund’s omnibus relationship contracts.
In addition, the Fund reimbursed the transfer agent for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the transfer agent related to shareholder communications activities such as proxy and statement mailings, and outgoing phone calls. For the year ended March 31, 2024, such out-of-pocket expenses by class of shares were as follows:
Shareholder Communications: | |
Class A | $ 23,435 |
Class C | 3,614 |
Class C2 | 55 |
Class K | 363 |
Class Y | 81,313 |
Total | $108,780 |
106Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
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, Class C and Class C2 shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor 0.20% 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 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C and Class C2 shares. The fee for Class C and Class C2 shares consists of a 0.25% service fee and a 0.25% distribution fee paid as compensation for personal services and/or account maintenance services or distribution services with regard to Class C and Class C2 shares. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $54,058 in distribution fees payable to the Distributor at March 31, 2024.
In addition, redemptions of Class C2 shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Redemptions of Class C2 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 A, Class C, Class K and Class Y shares. Proceeds from the CDSCs are paid to the Distributor. For the year ended March 31, 2024, CDSCs in the amount of $214 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. Until January 31, 2024, the Fund participated in a credit facility in the amount of $380 million. Under such credit facility, depending on the type of loan, interest on borrowings was payable at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a credit spread. The Fund also paid both an upfront fee and an annual commitment fee to participate in the credit facility. The upfront fee in the amount of 0.15% of the total credit facility and the commitment fee in the amount of 0.30% of the daily unused portion of each lender’s commitment were allocated among participating funds based on an allocation schedule set forth in the credit facility. Effective January 31, 2024, the Fund participates in a credit facility in the amount of $250 million, the upfront fee with respect to the credit facility is 0.05% of the total credit facility, and the commitment fee with
Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24107
respect to the credit facility is 0.20% of the daily unused portion of each lender’s commitment. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Fund had no borrowings under the credit facility.
7. Additional Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Fund’s use of derivatives may enhance or mitigate the Fund’s exposure to the following risks:
Interest rate risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of interest-bearing securities due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates.
Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a financial instrument to make further principal or interest payments on an obligation or commitment that it has to the Fund.
Foreign exchange rate risk relates to fluctuations in the value of an asset or liability due to changes in currency exchange rates.
Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange rate risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.
Commodity risk relates to the risk that the value of a commodity or commodity index will fluctuate based on increases or decreases in the commodities market and factors specific to a particular industry or commodity.
The effect of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) on the Statement of Operations by risk exposure at March 31, 2024 was as follows:
Statement of Operations | Interest Rate Risk | Credit Risk | Foreign Exchange Rate Risk | Equity Risk | Commodity Risk |
Net Realized Gain (Loss) on | | | | | |
Futures contracts | $ (1,770,247) | $ — | $ — | $ — | $ — |

8. Unfunded Loan Commitments
The Fund may enter into unfunded loan commitments. Unfunded loan commitments may be partially or wholly unfunded. During the contractual period, the Fund is obliged to provide funding to the borrower upon demand. A fee is earned by the Fund on the unfunded loan commitment and is recorded as interest income on the Statement of Operations. Unfunded loan commitments are fair valued in accordance with the valuation policy described in Note 1A and unrealized appreciation or depreciation, if any, is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Pioneer Series Trust X and the Shareholders of Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2024, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights and related notes for the year then ended. The statements of changes in net assets for the year ended March 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for the years ended March 31, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights in their report dated May 25, 2023. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2024 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights 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 and financial highlights 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 its 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.
110Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund | Annual Report | 3/31/24
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. 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 and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Additional Information (unaudited)
On March 25, 2024, Ernst & Young LLP (the “Prior Auditor”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of Pioneer Multi-Asset Ultrashort Income Fund (the “Fund”) due to the independence considerations resulting from a change of the independent registered public accounting firm of a related party. The Prior Auditor’s reports on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two fiscal years, the years ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the last two fiscal year-ends and the subsequent interim period through March 25, 2024, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its reports on the Fund's financial statements for such periods; or (2) "reportable events" related to the Fund, as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On March 25, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board approved, and on March 25, 2024, the Board approved, Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered accounting firm of the Fund for fiscal periods ending after March 25, 2024.
Qualified interest income is exempt from nonresident alien (NRA) tax withholding. The percentage of the Fund’s ordinary income distributions derived from qualified interest income was 99.97%.

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.
