The Pioneer Diversified High Income Fund ( HNW ) is a closed-end fund that provides a method through which investors can earn a very high level of income from the assets that they already possess. The fund manages to do reasonably well at this task, as it boasts a 9.66% yield at the current share price. As most investors who actively seek out income are likely well aware, this yield is considerably higher than that available from any of the major fixed-income indices.
