Dear Ms. Samuel:
This letter is in response to a comment from the staff (the Staff) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission or the SEC) received from your colleague, David Orlic, via telephone on August 8, 2018 regarding (i) Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the NCV Pre-Effective Amendment) to the Registration Statement on Form N-2 (the NCV Registration Statement) relating to an offering of preferred shares of beneficial interest by AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund (NCV) and (ii) Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the NCZ Pre-Effective Amendment and, together with the NCV Pre-Effective Amendment, the Pre-Effective Amendments) to the Registration Statement on Form N-2 (the NCZ Registration Statement and, together with the NCV Registration Statement, the Registration Statements) relating to an offering of preferred shares of beneficial interest by AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II (NCZ and, together with NCV, the Funds). The Pre-Effective Amendments were filed with the SEC on July 23, 2018. Mr. Orlic provided initial comments regarding the Pre-Effective Amendments on July 30, 2018, and the Funds provided responses to the initial comments in a letter submitted on August 3, 2019.
The following sets forth the Staffs comment and the Funds response thereto.
