Pioneer Institutional Funds - Annual Report
Pioneer Institutional Funds Annual Report 2012 Annual Commentary on the Financial Markets
The Economy
By the end of 2012, tensions in financial markets appeared to have abated, as leading central banks efforts at restoring confidence offset evidence of a weak economy. The European Central Bank (ECB) managed to allay the worst-case scenario of a collapse of the single currency and showed the ultimate commitment, having promised to do whatever it takes to save the euro. The ECBs announcement of its latest support program (Outright Monetary Transactions) reduced the implied sovereign credit risk of peripheral European countries. These countries have also made some genuine progress in implementing structural economic reforms, notably in the labour market and the pension system. In addition, policies enacted by national governments hit by the sovereign-debt crisis seem to be going in the right direction and are being pursued even at the risk of social unrest. In 2013, Italy and Spain may deserve particular attention, as they account for about a quarter of European Monetary Union-wide GDP and still face challenging conditions. Moreover, in 2013 European political leaders should exploit the breathing room allowed by the ECBs actions in order to find a long-term solution to the debt crisis. Averting the worst-case scenario of a euro collapse was badly needed, but putting the whole issue to rest may still prove difficult. While the European Monetary Unions crisis is mostly referred to as a sovereign-debt crisis, it is actually a macroeconomic one. The deep rift exposed by the global recession is still in place, pitting core countries, led by Germany, against peripheral (mostly Southern) economies whose fiscal troubles are compounded by a structural lack of competitiveness. From an EU perspective, the first task may be a comprehensive agreement over the creation of a banking union (Single Supervision Mechanism), where the ECB takes a supervisory role and an EU-wide liquidation procedure of unhealthy banks is promptly established. Another radical solution to the crisis may be a Fiscal Union (or Transfer Union) in which budget policies are governed from a central institution. Getting all of the recipients of EU funds under the strict supervision of creditor countries would likely set this process in motion, although debtor countries are likely to oppose the probable loss of fiscal sovereignty. Looking at the United States in 2012; rarely has US GDP growth moved so little in a 12-month period, with year-on-year gains registering between 2% and 2.5%. On a positive note, the US economy proved resilient in the face of challenging global conditions throughout the year. Domestic household consumption continued to lead growth, helped by positive momentum in the housing sector as mortgage rates fell to record lows and helped revive both home sales and prices. Also on a recovery path is the Housebuilding sector, with housing-starts up by more than 40% from their trough. Employment growth was fairly broad-based and has consistently included the highly cyclical Manufacturing sector. The number of applications for jobless claims was much closer to levels predating the recession, another key labour market indicator. The US corporate sector ended the year in healthy shape and we believe that the current levels of profit margins can be sustained going forward. In 2012, the US Treasury market enjoyed the windfall of low yields amid a global flight to safety, but as both the federal debt and deficit are at record highs and well above the average for the G20 group, this is an issue that needs to be addressed with some urgency. Going forward, we expect the political negotiations over US fiscal policies to reach a compromise agreement in order to avoid the fiscal cliff. The US Federal Reserve looks committed to retaining an overly loose monetary policy for at least another two years. Overall, we expect the US economy to grow at a subdued pace in 2013, with real GDP increasing by another 2% year-on-year. Throughout the year, fears over a hard landing for the Chinese economy prevailed. However, the latest survey of manufacturers purchasing managers has eased concerns that China may suffer a serious downturn. In fact, this highly cyclical index did not collapse as it had in 2008, but dipped briefly just below the expansion threshold of 50. This evidence helped investors to regain some optimism for a soft-landing scenario for China. But threats to Chinas growth remain: the real estate sector, accounting for about 15% of GDP, and its impact on bank balance sheets (although many loans were made by other financial firms, belonging to a shadow banking system) is one of them. Another risk is that policy makers are not responsive enough. They acted quickly in 2012, when monetary policy was switched from a tightening to an easing mode based on signs that the Chinese economy was growing less, but then the pace slowed down. Banks reserve ratios are a case in point: This key gauge was lowered three times in 2012, but remains close to the peak of 21.5%. The new political leadership, appointed by the ruling partys five year congress in November, is said to be even keener on taking a gradual approach. A more fundamental reason for concern is that Chinas growth relies on exports and investments, rather than on stable sources like household spending, as structural changes are needed for the Chinese economy to become consumer-driven. The shift in Chinas growth model from investment-led to consumer-driven may take time, but the new political leadership needs to move beyond the rhetoric of economic reforms to actually implementing them in areas, such as a more efficient welfare state and the liberalisation of both the Financial sector and currency markets, not to mention the further advancement of privately-owned companies (long subjugated to large state-owned enterprises). At the end of 2012, the Indian central bank (RBI) was facing the dilemma of a slowing economy in need of a looser monetary policy, while adhering to its medium-term goal of 4% to 5% inflation. The wholesale price index is inflations main gauge in India and it has remained stubbornly above target. So there appears to be little room to cut benchmark interest rates in order to revive bank loans, investment spending and, with it, overall economic growth.

The Economy (continued)
Investors expected the Indian government to implement the structural changes, aimed at making the economy more efficient and push inflation down, and the reform measures which the government announced in September. If these prove effective, the RBI may be more willing to let interest rates decline. However, the main reform, the liberalisation of the retail sector, has been pursued only very gradually. Recent laws letting foreign-owned chains open business in India were shelved and then only partially restored after intense lobbying. Another disadvantage to business is the Indian governments excess borrowing, which made it hard for them to raise money from private investors and therefore left the corporate bond market undersized. So far, India has been an exception to the pattern of debt-light emerging markets and there is little evidence of a change in this trend. In 2012, the Indian stockmarket has benefited from the return of risk aversion and has quickly recouped all of its previous losses, both in absolute terms and against the areas benchmark. In 2012, Brazils economy slowed down markedly and struggled to recover despite policy makers repeated efforts to stimulate it. Hence, GDP grew by only 0.6% in the third quarter. As a net commodity exporter, Brazils prospects are heavily reliant on Chinas demand for resources. Exports of iron ore to China may pick up again, but are unlikely to grow at the same frantic rate as before. In addition, on the domestic side, Brazilian consumers also bought fewer durable goods and started a debt-reduction process. As in Indias case, structural reforms are called for, mainly because companies are burdened by heavy taxes and excess regulation. The government has recognised the need to make Brazil more business-friendly and improve competitiveness. In 2012, its main tool was letting the currency weaken on the back of repeated interest rate cuts. The inflation target rate was still above the current rate, but the spread was rapidly dwindling. On present trends, it may disappear altogether in 2013, if the Brazilian central bank continues to focus on growth targets. The Energy sector remains a key source of growth for the Russian economy, accounting for about three-quarters of its exports. The Energy sector includes oil as well as several other mineral resources for which Chinese demand from has weakened in 2012, to the detriment of overall growth. If Chinas economy were to undergo a structural change and households demand for consumer goods replaced industrial demand for resources, Russian exports would suffer on a long-term basis. Admittedly, private consumptions contribution has improved a lot, as peoples purchasing power increased and unemployment declined. Recent patterns, however, were less reassuring as real wages and disposable incomes fell amid rising inflation. On the investments side, the challenge for the next few years is to attract foreign direct investments. In that respect, recent progress in corporate governance looks encouraging, as Russia rose sharply in the World Banks latest survey based on the ease of doing business.

The Markets
Central banks have kept policy rates at rock-bottom levels since the financial crisis, in an effort to stimulate economic growth. This stance led investors to search for additional yields in credit markets and to buy up large amounts of newly-issued bonds. US companies raised more than $3 trillion in 2012, which is near the record set before the recession. One could argue that there is more room for spread tightening in high-yield credit markets, as yields started from much higher levels. In fact, companies exploited low borrowing costs by flooding the market with new issues and these have been welcomed by yield-hungry investors, who also turned to much riskier assets such as leveraged loans. Investors have been paying less and less attention to companies fundamentals in the search for yields. While we held an overweight in credit markets throughout the euro debt crisis (despite its implications on risk aversion), we picked our securities by blending risk and returns. There was little evidence of this selective approach in the market, as yields offered by low-rated issuers (such as single B and C) also fell to record lows. Central bank action has inspired confidence, notably in European Monetary Union government bond markets. The ECBs pledge to do whatever it takes to save the euro left borrowing costs at two-year lows for governments hard-hit by the debt crisis. Even Italy was able to sell new bonds despite the impending elections. However, we acknowledge that the efforts for austerity and reforms pursued by these countries are worth lower yields and spreads. That is why we are retaining a medium-term constructive view on the EMU periphery. Our thoughts on the EMU periphery tend to apply to bank bonds, which account for a large share of European corporate credit markets. Spreads have fallen alongside the sovereign market, although the ECB provided no further emergency lending since the Long Term Refinancing Operations. Their decline appeared to be driven by an increasing risk appetite among bond investors and should therefore be viewed with some caution. On a more fundamental note, bank credit spreads may stay low if international regulators refrained from relaxing capital adequacy standards and revive bank lending. Profit estimates may be capped by high capital ratios, whereas bondholders are likely to feel more secure about the banking sectors overall solvency. Going forward, emerging markets may provide the best combination between risk and reward. Admittedly, spreads have come down sharply too, but they reflect the actual improvements in government policies, particularly on the fiscal side. Reasonable alternatives may be found among emerging-market corporate issuers, though a selective approach should also apply to them, as demand from yield-hungry investors extended into this market and set a record-high for new issues in 2012.
Bonds
Europe Since June 2012, we have gradually been adding to our European equity exposure despite widespread concerns over a euro break-up, as we believed that those pessimistic forecasts were reflected in some valuations. While the worst-case scenario has been averted, we share the prevailing view that the European economy will stay in recession for most of 2013. However, we believe that European equity valuations remain cheap and consistent with these downbeat macroeconomic forecasts. According to our estimates, the cyclically-adjusted price/earnings ratio in Europe is far below the long-term average and near its historical minimum. A fair assessment of European stockmarkets has to take into account that companies listed on European exchanges sell most of their goods outside of Europe and tend to follow the global economic cycle. The cheapest companies were in the Financial sector, whose liquidity shortage was eased by the European Central Banks support, with a beneficial impact on stock prices. However, long-term earnings estimates may improve very slowly as long as the credit crunch continues in recession-hit countries of the euro area. Higher capital ratios imposed by domestic and international regulators are also looming, although some investors may be comfortable with the additional constraints posed by the new requirements, notably on loan selection.
Equity Markets
Asia and Emerging Equities Emerging market countries and sectors have delivered quite different results throughout the year. Country-wise, at the end of 2012, Chinese stocks were supported by the growing perception of a soft-landing scenario. We believe that the trough of the earnings cycle has been reached and expect corporate profits to start improving in 2013, as GDP growth may have bottomed out at 7% year-on-year in 2012. Chinese blue-chip stocks (mostly listed in Hong Kong) have largely beaten world market averages in late 2012, but we believe that despite the latest rally Chinese stocks are still undervalued compared to broad emerging market averages, notably in the key Banking sector which has long been under pressure amid investors disappointment over a too-slow monetary easing. Chinese consumer stocks may also get steady support from a possible change in Chinas growth model from investment-led to a consumer-led one. Other major emerging markets had less room to grow amid fewer available economic policy tools. Throughout 2012, Brazils central bank has cut its benchmark rates in half to a record low in an effort to revive GDP growth, but structural factors such as low labour productivity and still-excessive regulations were a hindrance. A weaker real may benefit exporters, but most of them belong to resource-related sectors which are likely to suffer from Chinas change in growth model. Russia is another resource-driven economy, but it appeared to have some more room for growth in domestic household spending to offset. Indian stocks have been broadly supported, although fundamental reasons for concern still persist amid a narrow breathing space for economic stimulus: on the monetary side, the central banks willingness to let interest rates fall further and relax the inflation target to revive a flagging economy recently met with some criticism and provided more uncertainties than comfort. However, we believe that emerging-market equities, as a whole, remain the best long-term investment opportunity. Major currencies experienced relatively modest swings in 2012. In our view, volatility is unlikely to pick up again in 2013 as monetary policies carried out in developed countries after the latest great recession tended to resemble each other. Until late into 2012, the US dollars trade-weighted index declined and fell to historical lows despite the sovereign-debt crisis and the ensuing recession in the euro area. The Federal Reserves stance has often had a lot of influence on financial markets, and policies (like QE) boosting money supply could weaken the dollar, but when the ECB resorted to its own liquidity-enhancing tools to contain the damage of the debt crisis. The ECB and the Fed were committed to doing whatever it took to fulfil their respective goals (saving the euro and moving the US economy to a faster track). Both currencies did not appear to be supported by a strong commitment to fighting inflation. As a central bank policy goal, consumer price stability looks like a legacy of the past and some investors may not appreciate such a radical change of priorities in favour of economic growth. The US dollars cheap valuation as a hedge against tensions over the euro sovereign-debt crisis partially offset the Feds overly loose stance.
United States Concerns about a recessionary fiscal cliff seemed to be only mildly reflected in US stockmarket action, when the broad S&P 500 index wrapped up a double-digit gain in 2012, led by the most cyclical (economy-sensitive) sector groups. Even the VIX index of implied volatility appeared to be on the rise when compared with recent low values, but was about half as much as in the summer of 2011, when the standoff over fiscal policies pushed the S&P 500 down by 12% in under a month. The Financials index turned out to be the best performer among the 10 economic sectors in the S&P 500 and this sector group has long been one of the most vulnerable following the continued volatility surrounding the US economy. The Federal Reserves (Fed) overly loose monetary policy has helped greatly, though on a more fundamental basis the flow of economic data has also somewhat improved, thanks to upbeat data from the Housing sector. The risk of resurgent inflation did not appear to be anticipated by equity investors (though not so among inflation-linked bondholders). This stance was especially good news for banks, which were able to exploit a positive carry by borrowing money at the short end of the yield curve and lending to companies and households. This margin would be largely untapped if demand for loans remained weak, but these have steadily recovered from the recession especially for the most solid lenders. The housing market has also benefitted from quantitative easing. It took some time for falling mortgage rates to leave a mark, but home sales and prices stepped up the pace of recovery in 2012. Going forward, international trends may be crucial for other cyclical sectors. Exporters of basic materials and resources are unlikely to generate past earnings growth, whereas makers of consumer goods may benefit from strong and increased sales especially of discretionary items.
Currencies: The search for competitive currencies becomes broad-based
Until August, a climate of global risk aversion prompted many investors to seek safety in the Japanese yen, for being the currency of a country at risk of recession, but with full monetary sovereignty and plenty of domestic savings. The yens 10% depreciation in 2012 against the US dollar largely originated from speculators exiting risk-off strategies. Although most Western analysts paid a lot of attention to the yen/dollar rate, other Far Eastern countries such as South Korea, Taiwan and China account for more than a quarter of overall trade, so they are as important as the US or the eurozone. In this respect, the yens effective (trade-weighted) rate was down even more. A further 10% decline would get it back to pre-US banking crisis levels of that year, shedding what is left of the yens safe-haven allure. Looking ahead, global economic conditions may improve as some risk factors recede. To start with, a compromise agreement over tax policies should be found in the US (averting the fiscal cliff); moreover, there is the growing perception of a soft-landing scenario for the Chinese economy. Last but not least, with regard to the EUs sovereign-debt crisis, key steps such as the creation of a single supervisory mechanism are being envisaged and will be gradually implemented.

Risk Disclosure
The Management Company uses a risk management process that allows monitoring the risks of the portfolio positions and their share of the overall risk profile of the portfolios on the managed funds at any time. In accordance with the Law of 17 December 2010 and the applicable regulatory requirements of the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier ("CSSF") the Management Company reports to the CSSF on a regular basis on the risk management process. The Management Company assures, on the basis of appropriate and reasonable methods, that the overall risk, associated with derivatives, does not exceed the Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund. In accordance with the requirements of the Regulatory Authority, this risk management process measures the global exposure of each Sub-Fund with the Value at Risk (VaR) approach. In financial mathematics and risk management, the VaR approach is a widely used risk measurement of the maximum potential loss for a specific portfolio of assets, due to market risk. More specifically, the VaR approach measures the maximum potential loss of such a portfolio at a given confidence level (or probability) over a specific time period (so called holding period) under normal market conditions. Absolute VaR or relative VaR are applied as disclosed in the table below.
Value-at-Risk
The VaR has been calculated using the historical simulation with a confidence interval of 99%, a holding period of 10 days, an observation period of 252 days (equally weighted).
Sub-Fund Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 5 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 11 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 12 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 17 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 18 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 20 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 21 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 24 Starting Period 01/01/2012 01/01/2012 01/01/2012 01/01/2012 01/01/2012 01/01/2012 01/01/2012 01/01/2012
Absolute VaR approach: Absolute VaR links the VaR of the portfolio of a Sub-Fund with its Net Asset Value. The absolute VaR of any Sub-Fund shall not exceed 20% of the Sub-Funds Net Asset Value (determined on the basis of a 99% confidence interval and a holding period of 20 business days).This is equivalent to 14.14% for a 10-day holding period applied by the Management Company. The lowest, the highest and the average utilisation of the VaR limit calculated during the period from 01 January 2012 to 31 December 2012 are set out in the table below.
Relative VaR approach: Relative VaR links the VaR of the portfolio of a Sub-Fund with the VaR of a reference portfolio. The reference portfolio is a matching portfolio in comparison to the Fund's investment policy. The relative VaR of the Sub-Fund shall not exceed twice the VaR of its reference portfolio.

Leverage
The average leverage level observed during the period from 01 January 2012 to 26 October 2012 (as net leverage) and from 27 October 2012
Sub-Fund Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 5 Leverage Methodology Net Leverage Starting Period 01/01/2012 Ending Period 26/06/2012 Maximum expected level of leverage 10%
The leverage for each Sub-Fund is not expected to exceed the levels set out in the Table below. However, under certain circumstances (e.g. very low market volatility) the leverage may exceed these levels.
Up to 26 October 2012 the leverage is measured as net leverage, which means that the leverage incurred through the use of derivatives will take into account hedging or netting arrangements. This is also known as the commitment approach. As from 27 October 2012 leverage is measured as the sum of notionals of the financial derivative instruments used.
The use of financial derivative instruments may result in a Sub-Fund being leveraged. Leverage is monitored on a regular basis and is measured as a percentage of each Sub-Funds Net Asset Value.

Investments in money market instruments with a residual life to maturity lower than 90 days are valued using the amortised cost method.
Valuation of investments and other instruments The following accounting policies apply: Valuation of investments Investments which are quoted or dealt in on a stock exchange or on a Regulated Market or any Other Regulated Market are valued at the last available price at 6.00 p.m. Luxembourg Time of the relevant Valuation Day.

Forward foreign exchange contracts Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate applicable at the Statement of Net Assets date for the period until their maturity. Gains and/or losses resulting from forward foreign exchange contracts are disclosed in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.
51
Financial futures contracts Financial futures contracts are valued at the exchange-quoted price (at the pricing points described above under "Valuation of investments"). Initial margin deposits are made in cash upon entering into futures contracts. During the lifetime of the future contracts, variation margin payments reflecting unrealised gains and losses are recorded in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. When the contract is closed, the relevant Sub-Fund records a realised gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the opening transaction.
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Combined financial statements The figures of each Sub-Fund are presented in their respective Base Currency. The combined financial statements are expressed in euros and the sum of the Sub-Funds net assets are converted into euros at the exchange rates prevailing at year end. The combined financial statements are presented for information purposes only.
Realised gain and loss Realised gain and loss comprise the gain or loss arising on the trading of securities and other investments, financial futures contracts, forward foreign exchange contracts, options and swaps during the year, and differences arising on the revaluation of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end. Capital gains or losses are determined on the basis of weighted average cost of the investments sold except for future contracts where the FIFO methodology is applied.
Income Dividends are credited to income on the date upon which the relevant securities are first listed as ex-dividend. Interest income is accrued on a daily basis.
Open-ended and closed-ended UCIs Units or shares of open-ended UCIs are valued at their last determined and available Net Asset Value or, if such price is not representative of the fair market value of such assets, then the price is determined by the Management Company on a fair and equitable basis. Units or shares of a closed-ended UCI are valued at their last available stock market value
Swaps contracts Sub-Funds may enter into Credit Default Swaps and other types of swap agreements such as interest rate swaps, swaptions, inflation-linked and total return swaps. Gains or losses resulting from swaps contracts are recognised in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. Swaps are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Management Company. Effective interest expense/ income on swaps are booked in full in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. Accrued expense/ income on swaps are netted on each Net Asset valuation date for each swap contract and the resulting net balance is posted per swap, either as interest expense on swap or interest income on swap, in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.
Options When the Sub-Fund purchases an option with an upfront premium, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an investment. When the Sub-Fund writes an option with an upfront premium, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The investment or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires unexercised, the Sub-Fund realises a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid.
For Class X Units, the management fees are charged and collected by the Management Company directly from the Unitholder and will not be charged to the Sub-Funds or reflected in the Net Asset Value.
The management fee is a percentage of the Net Asset Value of each Sub-Fund, which ranges, according the prospectus, from 0.00% to 0.50% p.a, depending on the relevant unit class and is calculated and accrued on each Valuation Day on the basis of the Net Asset Value of the unit class and is payable monthly in arrears.
3. Management, Investment Management and Performance Fees
52
The management fee rates effectively applied as at 31 December 2012 are as follows:
Sub-Fund Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 12 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 17 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 18 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 20 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 21 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 24 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Emerging Markets Bond Local Currencies Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 28 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 29 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Institutional 30 Pioneer Institutional Funds - Currency High Alpha Pioneer Institutional Funds - Ethical Euro Aggregate Bond Class Class I Class I Class I Class I Class I Class I Class I Class I Class I Class I Class X Class I Management fee rate 0.25% 0.10% 0.10% 0.35% 0.30% 0.35% 0.50% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.45%
3. Management, Investment Management and Performance Fees (continued)
The Management Company may, in respect of the Currency High Alpha Sub-Fund earn a performance fee of a maximum of 15% of the outperformance amount calculated, where the Net Asset Value per Unit of the Class outperforms the 100% Euro OverNight Index Average +3% (the performance hurdle). The performance fee is calculated by reference to the increase in the class' assets over and above the increase in the performance hurdle as adjusted for subscriptions into and redemptions out of the relevant class of units during the performance period. The performance fees are applicable to Class I shares only. As at 31 December 2012, only Class X shares had been issued by the Sub-Fund and consequently no performance fee was charged to the Sub-Fund as at 31 December 2012. The Depositary and Paying Agent and the Central Administrator receive out of the assets of the relevant Sub-Fund, a fee for their services as detailed below. Depositary: The fee is a percentage of portfolio value at each month end of each Sub-Fund. It ranges from 0.003% to 0.5% p.a depending on where the assets of the relevant Sub-Fund are held. The fee is calculated and accrued on each Valuation Day and is payable monthly in arrears. Paying Agent: The main components of the compensation for the services provided are the number of the existing active unit classes, the number of clients accounts and the number of transactions processed. Central Administrator: The fee for the main services provided is 0.01% p.a and it is calculated and accrued on each Valuation Day on the basis of the Net Asset Value of the relevant Sub-Fund. It is payable monthly in arrears. Under Luxembourg legislation, the Fund has the tax status of a mutual fund (fonds commun de placement). The Fund is not subject to tax on its income. However, the Fund is subject to a subscription tax of 0.05% p.a, payable quarterly and calculated on the basis of each Sub-Funds net assets at the end of each quarter. However, a reduced tax rate of 0.01% p.a applies where a Sub-Fund invests exclusively in money market instruments or deposits with credit institutions, or where the Units or Class of Units of the Sub-Fund are reserved to one or more institutional investors. Interest and dividend income received by the Sub-Funds may be subject to non-recoverable withholding taxes. Withholding tax reclaim Withholding tax reclaims have been filed in respect of the withholding tax applied on dividends paid during the recent years in France and Germany. The decision for claiming is taken by the Board of Directors based on the analysis of costs to be borne and maximum potential amount refunded. The costs for pursuing the reclaims are borne only by the subfunds potentially entitled of the refunds and recorded under other charges. Currently it is not possible to assess the likelihood of success of these reclaiming actions. Consequently no receivables with respect to the potential refunded amounts have been booked in the Financial Statements. Any proceed received from these reclaiming actions will be booked in the respective Sub-Funds net asset values.
Pioneer Institutional Funds - Annual Report 53
Performance fee The Management Company is entitled to receive for Pioneer Institutional Funds Institutional 17 and Pioneer Institutional Funds Institutional 18 Sub-Funds a performance fee where the return exceeds the target returns; such target return being agreed on a year-by-year basis with each investor as a specific percentage return. The performance period for such Sub-Funds is the calendar year and the fee is paid annually at the year end. The performance of each Sub-Fund is calculated by the increase or decrease in the assets of such Sub-Fund over the assets of the prior valuation as adjusted for subscriptions and redemptions. The performance fee is accrued at the rate of 20% of the increase in the assets over the target return for the relevant Sub-Fund. The Management Company has agreed not to calculate any performance fee for the above Sub-Funds for the financial year 2012.
The Investment Managers are paid by the Management Company out of the management fee payable to it in accordance with the Management Regulations of the Fund.

A list of changes in the portfolio for the year ending 31 December 2012 is available free of charge at the registered office of the Management Company of the Fund. All details relating to the outstanding options, forward foreign exchange contracts, financial futures contracts and swaps contracts as at 31 December 2012 are presented with the individual Sub-Funds Schedule of Investment.

6. Changes in Portfolios
7. Outstanding Options, Forward Foreign Exchange, Financial Futures and Swaps Contracts 8. Purchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements
Reverse repurchase agreements are similar in effect to a lending, collateralised by underlying securities. A reverse repurchase agreement is an agreement under which an assigner (counterpart) sells securities to the assignee (sub-fund) whereby the assigner agrees to repurchase them at a specified time and at a specified price and the assignee agrees to retrocede these securities at a specified time and at a specified price. The securities received as collateral are not reported in the section Schedule of Investments. For the year from 01 January 2012 to 31 December 2012, the Fund incurred transaction costs related to purchase or sale of financial instruments as follows:
Sub-Fund Pioneer Institutional Funds Institutional 17 Pioneer Institutional Funds Institutional 18 Amount (EUR) 807.95 12,701.69
9. Transaction Costs
Pioneer Institutional Funds Institutional 28 Pioneer Institutional Funds Institutional 29 Pioneer Institutional Funds Institutional 30 Pioneer Institutional Funds Ethical Euro Aggregate Bond
1,624,016.42 83,848.85 2,079.80 20,111.47
The above transaction costs include costs directly linked to the acquisition or sale of investments, to the extent that such costs are shown separately on transaction confirmations. For some asset classes, transactions costs are incorporated in dealing prices (cost price) and are not reported separately. Depending on the nature of the investments of the Sub-Fund, this may result in no transaction costs being paid for the year from 01 January 2012 to 31 December 2012. The Management Company has implemented a Proxy Voting Policy, to enable the exercise of voting rights attached to the portfolio securities. The Management Company aims to cast proxy votes in a manner consistent with the best interest of the Fund. In voting proxies, consideration is given to the economic effect of the proposal on the value of portfolio holdings on both the short and long-term impact. In general, Pioneer believes that supporting the companys strategy and voting for managements proposals builds portfolio value. In some cases, however, proposals set forth by management may have a negative effect on that value, and consideration of this may affect the votes cast by the Management Company. Special consideration is given to issues relating to ethical Fund.
10. Proxy Voting Policy
The Management Company exercises voting rights and, where it has authorised delegated investment managers to vote portfolio securities, it requires that they do so in accordance with the Proxy Voting Policy. Together, the Management Company and/or the Investment Managers may engage the services of an independent third party to assist in analysing proxies, shareholder meeting recommendations, record keeping and voting services provided that the Service Provider provides its services in accordance with the Proxy Voting Policy. A Class action is an action that allows to a group of investors to claim a company or public institution to obtain financial compensation in the event of losses. The Management Company has engaged the services of two independent companies to assist in the class action activities and ensure a global coverage. Costs paid upfront for the services related to the portfolio analysis, the collection of the custody data and the assistance in the other activities related to class actions are booked in the financial statements under Other charges. The amounts received when the class action are settled, are booked in the financial statements under Other Income.

To the Unitholders of Pioneer Institutional Funds 8-10, rue Jean Monnet L-2180 Luxembourg Grand Duchy of Luxembourg Report on the financial statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Pioneer Institutional Funds and each of its Sub-Funds, which comprise the statement of net assets and the schedule of investments as at 31 December 2012 and the statement of operations and changes in net assets for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Board of Directors of the Management Company responsibility for the financial statements The Board of Directors of the Management Company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation of the financial statements, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors of the Management Company determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Responsibility of the Rviseur dEntreprises agr Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing as adopted for Luxembourg by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors of the Management Company, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the judgement of the Rviseur dEntreprises agr, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the Rviseur dEntreprises agr considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control.
Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Pioneer Institutional Funds and each of its SubFunds as of 31 December 2012, and of the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for the year then ended in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation of the financial statements.

Consequently, we express no opinion on such information. However, we have no observation to make concerning such information in the context of the financial statements taken as a whole.
