Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Annual Investment Adviser's Report

October 31, 2012 (unaudited)

December 6, 2012

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this Annual Report covering the activities of the Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2012.

Performance Summary

11/1/11 – 10/31/12

Fund and Benchmark	Performance
Total Return (based on NAV)¹		19.44	%
Total Return (based on market value)¹		19.46	%
BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained Index²		13.15	%

Market Review: A Very Positive Period for High Yield Investors

The annual period ended October 31, 2012 was a positive one for high yield bonds, with the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index, the Fund's benchmark, registering a return of 13.15%. In fact, the Index saw positive returns in nine of the twelve months during the period. Additionally, high yield spreads tightened 139 basis points versus the Treasury market to end the period at +574 basis points, while yields finished at 6.52%.

From a quality point-of-view, CCC-rated and CC-rated securities outperformed, returning 15.23% and 17.16% for the period, respectively. And, although they underperformed the Index, BB- and B-rated securities both had positive returns for the period — 12.97% and 12.72%, respectively. Insurance, real estate and banks were the Index's best performers for the period, while utilities, food & drug, retail and metals/mining were the lowest performers.

According to JP Morgan, high yield default rates increased slightly to finish the period at 1.77%, well below its historical average of 4.2%. Additionally, the percentage of US high yield securities that are "distressed," defined as those trading at spreads of more than 1,000 basis points over Treasuries, fell to 10.7% (compared to 16.1% in October 2011).

JP Morgan also reported that new issue volume for the period was $348.3 billion, far exceeding last year's figure of $274.2 billion. New issue activity was greatest in the first and third quarters of 2012, with $107.8 billion and $105.7 billion issued, respectively. High-yield mutual funds saw positive inflows in nine of the last twelve months, and reached a record total inflow of approximately $38.5 billion during the period, as reported by Lipper FMI.

Strategic Review and Outlook: Looking to the Future with Cautious Optimism

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2012, the Fund outperformed the Index on both a NAV and market price basis. Security selection in the energy and services sectors contributed positively to relative returns, while underweight positions to banking and telecommunications detracted from returns.

Portfolio exposures continue to emphasize lower beta securities and B-rated bonds with the best risk-return profiles. The Fund has avoided the most interest-rate sensitive, lower coupon securities and have maintained exposure to shorter duration bonds. Additionally, the Fund has an underweight to the most levered and aggressive CC-rated components of the Index, as they typically exhibit the most volatility in a heightened macro risk environment and we do not believe current valuations adequately compensate investors.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Annual Investment Adviser's Report (continued)

October 31, 2012 (unaudited)

Overall, fundamentals have remained strong in 2012, as high yield companies have focused on deleveraging and extending maturities since early 2009. In turn, this has supported below-average defaults for 2012 as well as below-average expectations leading into 2013. Investors have demonstrated continued confidence in credit markets with record year-to-date inflows into retail high yield funds. However, as markets have rallied throughout this year, valuations in many cases are capped as many bonds in the high yield market are already trading above their call price. Against this backdrop, though we see pockets of opportunities within the high yield asset class, we remain cautious given valuations and potential headline risk.


Thomas J. Flannery Chief Investment Officer*				John Popp Chief Executive Officer and President**

High yield bonds are lower-quality bonds that are also known as "junk bonds." Such bonds entail greater risks than those found in higher-rated securities.

In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements, which may concern, among other things, domestic and foreign market, industry and economic trends and developments and government regulation and their potential impact on the Fund's investments. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual trends, developments and regulations in the future, and their impact on the Fund could be materially different from those projected, anticipated or implied. The Fund has no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.

The views of the Fund's management are as of the date of the letter and the Fund holdings described in this document are as of October 31, 2012; these views and Fund holdings may have changed subsequent to these dates. Nothing in this document is a recommendation to purchase or sell securities.

¹ Assuming reinvestment of dividends of $0.32 per share.

² The BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of below investment-grade U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds issued in the U.S. domestic market, where each issuer's allocation is limited to 2% of the index. An index does not have transaction costs; investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Credit Suisse currently waives fees and/or reimburses expenses, without which performance would be lower. Waivers and/or reimbursements are subject to change and may be discontinued at any time. Returns represent past performance. Total investment return at net asset value is based on changes in the net asset value of fund shares and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any. Total investment return at market value is based on changes in the market price at which the fund's shares traded on the stock exchange during the period and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any, at actual prices pursuant to the fund's dividend reinvestment program. Because the fund's shares trade in the stock market based on investor demand, the fund may trade at a price higher or lower than its NAV. Therefore, returns are calculated based on share price and NAV. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the figures shown. The fund's yield, return and market price and NAV will fluctuate. Performance information current to the most recent month-end is available by calling 1-800-293-1232.

¹ Per share information is calculated using the average shares outstanding method.

² Total investment return at net asset value is based on changes in the net asset value of fund shares and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any. Total investment return at market value is based on changes in the market price at which the fund's shares traded on the stock exchange during the period and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any, at actual prices pursuant to the fund's dividend reinvestment program. Because the fund's shares trade in the stock market based on investor demand, the fund may trade at a price higher or lower than its NAV. Therefore, returns are calculated based on share price and NAV.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2012

Note 1. Organization

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund (the "Fund") is a business trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 30, 1998. The Fund is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund's primary objective is to seek high current income.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

A) SECURITY VALUATION — The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2. Equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Equity investments are generally categorized as Level 1. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day and are generally categorized as Level 1. Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and are generally categorized as Level 2. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Fund's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees under procedures established by the Board of Trustees and are generally categorized as Level 3. At October 31, 2012, the Fund held less than 0.01% of its net assets in securities valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Board of Trustees with an aggregate cost of $3,041,641 and fair value of $199. The Fund's estimate of fair value assumes a willing buyer and a willing seller neither acting under the compulsion to buy or sell. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized on such sales could differ from the prices originally paid by the Fund or the current carrying values, and the difference could be material.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In accordance with the Fund's valuation procedures, factors used in

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2012

determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security, the size of the holding, the initial cost of the security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security's disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company's or issuer's financial statements, an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination, and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2012 in valuing the Fund's investments carried at value:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

* Other financial instruments include forwards foreign currency contracts.

The following is a reconciliation of investments as of October 31, 2012 in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value. Transfers in or out of Level 3 represent the beginning value of any security or instrument where a change in the level has occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2012

The Fund adopted FASB amendments to authoritative guidance which require the Fund to disclose details of transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and Level 2 and Level 3 measurements and the reasons for the transfers. For the year ended October 31, 2012, there were no significant transfers in and out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

B) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES — The Fund adopted amendments to authoritative guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities which require that the Fund disclose (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and hedging activities are accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedging activities affect a fund's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.

The notional amount of forward foreign currency contracts at year end are reflected in the Notes to Financial Statements. The notional amounts of forward foreign currency contracts at each month end throughout the reporting period averaged approximately 9.65% of net assets of the Fund.

C) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current period. The Fund does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in equity securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. The Fund isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities.

D) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.

E) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — The Fund declares and pays dividends on a monthly basis and records them on ex-date. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

The Fund's dividend policy is to distribute substantially all of its net investment income to its shareholders on a monthly basis. However, in order to provide shareholders with a more consistent yield to the current trading price of shares of beneficial interest of the Fund, the Fund may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular month and may at times in any month pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net investment income earned in that month. As a result, the dividends paid by the Fund for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Fund during such month.

F) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.

In order to qualify as a RIC under the Code, the Fund must meet certain requirements regarding the source of its income, the diversification of its assets and the distribution of its income. One of these requirements is that the Fund derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, other income derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies or net income derived from interests in certain publicly traded partnerships ("Qualifying Income").

The Fund adopted the authoritative guidance for uncertainty in income taxes and recognizes a tax benefit or liability from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority's widely understood administrative practices and procedures. The Fund has reviewed its current tax positions and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

G) USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

H) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS — The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group AG, pools available cash into a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2012

("SSB"), the Fund's custodian. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.

I) CASH FLOW INFORMATION — Cash, as used in the Statement of Cash Flows, is the amount reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, including domestic and foreign currencies. The Fund invests in securities and distributes dividends from net investment income and net realized gains, if any (which are either paid in cash or reinvested at the discretion of shareholders). These activities are reported in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Information on cash payments is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. Accounting practices that do not affect reporting activities on a cash basis include unrealized gain or loss on investment securities and accretion or amortization income recognized on investment securities.

J) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS — The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency. The Fund will enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily for hedging foreign currency risk. Forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily forward exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date or an offsetting position is entered into. At October 31, 2012, the Fund had the following open forward foreign currency contracts:

Forward Foreign Currency to be Purchased (Local)		Forward Foreign Currency to be Sold (Local)		Expiration Date	Counterparties	Value on Settlement Date			Current Value			Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)
USD	22,351,343	EUR	17,027,000	1/18/13	Morgan Stanley	$	(22,351,343	)	$	(22,080,939	)	$	270,404
USD	2,020,640	EUR	1,538,000	1/18/13	Morgan Stanley		(2,020,640	)		(1,994,508	)		26,132
USD	2,512,692	GBP	1,560,000	1/18/13	Morgan Stanley		(2,512,692	)		(2,512,627	)		65
												$	296,601

Currency Abbreviations:

EUR = Euro

GBP = British Pound

USD = United States Dollar

K) SECURITIES LENDING — Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse and may be invested in a variety of investments, including funds advised by SSB, the Fund's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

SSB has been engaged by the Fund to act as the Fund's securities lending agent. The Fund's securities lending arrangement provides that the Fund and SSB will share the net income earned from securities lending activities. During the year ended October 31, 2012, total earnings from the Fund's investment in cash collateral received in connection with securities lending arrangements was $69,962, of which $0 was rebated to borrowers (brokers). The Fund retained $59,468 in income from the cash collateral investment, and SSB, as lending agent, was paid $10,494. Securities lending income is accrued as earned.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2012

L) OTHER — Lower-rated debt securities (commonly known as "junk bonds") possess speculative characteristics and are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of lost income and principal than higher-rated debt securities for a variety of reasons. Also, during an economic downturn or substantial period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress which would adversely affect their ability to service their principal and interest payment obligations, to meet projected business goals and to obtain additional financing.

In addition, periods of economic uncertainty and changes can be expected to result in increased volatility of market prices of lower-rated debt securities and the Fund's net asset value.

M) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS — In preparing the financial statements as of October 31, 2012, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements through the date of release of this report. No such events requiring recognition or disclosure were identified through the date of the release of this report.

Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties

The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with Credit Suisse. The Advisory Agreement provides for a fee at the annual rate of 1.00% of the first $250 million of the average weekly value of the Fund's total assets minus the sum of liabilities (other than aggregate indebtedness constituting leverage) and 0.75% of the average weekly value of the Fund's total assets minus the sum of liabilities (other than aggregate indebtedness constituting leverage) greater than $250 million. Effective January 1, 2011, Credit Suisse has agreed to waive 0.15% of the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement up to $200 million and 0.25% of the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement on the next $50 million. For the year ended October 31, 2012, investment advisory fees earned and voluntary waived were $3,176,626 and $424,999, respectively. Credit Suisse will not recapture from the Fund any fees it waived during the year ended October 31, 2012. Fee waivers and expense reimbursements are voluntary and may be discontinued by Credit Suisse at any time.

SSB serves as Accounting and Administrative Agent for the fund. For its administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon the relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio, subject to an annual minimum fee. For the year ended October 31, 2012, administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) were $66,622.

The Independent Trustees receive fifty percent (50%) of their annual retainer in the form of shares. Since 2008, the Independent Trustees have been able to elect to receive up to 100% of their annual retainer in shares of the Fund. During the year ended October 31, 2012, 18,468 shares were issued through the trustees compensation plan. Trustees as a group own less than 1% of the Fund's outstanding shares.

Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, has been engaged by the Fund to provide certain financial printing services. For the year ended October 31, 2012, Merrill was paid $52,634 for its services by the Fund.

Note 4. Line of Credit

The Fund has a line of credit provided by SSB primarily to leverage its investment portfolio (the "SSB Agreement"). Effective December 9, 2011, under the SSB Agreement, the Fund may borrow the least of: a) $140,000,000; b) an amount that is no greater than 33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets minus the sum of liabilities

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2012

(other than aggregate indebtedness constituting leverage); and c) the Borrowing Base as defined in the SSB Agreement. Effective December 7, 2012, the Fund may borrow the least of: a) $170,000,000; b) an amount that is no greater than 33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets minus the sum of liabilities (other than aggregate indebtedness constituting leverage); and c) the Borrowing Base as defined in the SSB Agreement. At October 31, 2012, the Fund had loans outstanding under the Agreement of $116,000,000. At October 31, 2012 and during the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund had borrowings under the Agreement as follows:

Average Daily Loan Balance				Weighted Average Interest Rate %				Maximum Daily Loan Outstanding
$	100,221,311				1.284	%		$	116,000,000

The use of leverage by the Fund creates an opportunity for increased net income and capital appreciation for the Fund, but, at the same time, creates special risks, and there can be no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful during any period in which it is employed. The Fund intends to utilize leverage to provide the shareholders with a potentially higher return. Leverage creates risks for shareholders including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of the Fund's shares and the risk that fluctuations in interest rates on borrowings and short-term debt may affect the return to shareholders. To the extent the income or capital appreciation derived from securities purchased with funds received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the Fund's return will be greater than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income or capital appreciation from the securities purchased with such funds is not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, the return to the Fund will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount available for distribution to shareholders as dividends and other distributions will be reduced. In the latter case, Credit Suisse in its best judgment nevertheless may determine to maintain the Fund's leveraged position if it deems such action to be appropriate under the circumstances. During periods in which the Fund is utilizing leverage, the management fee will be higher than if the Fund did not utilize a leveraged capital structure because the fee is calculated as a percentage of the managed assets including those purchased with leverage.

Certain types of borrowings by the Fund may result in the Fund's being subject to covenants in credit agreements, including those relating to asset coverage and portfolio composition requirements. The Fund's lenders may establish guidelines for borrowing which may impose asset coverage or portfolio composition requirements that are more stringent than those imposed by the 1940 Act. There is no guarantee that the Fund's borrowing arrangements or other arrangements for obtaining leverage will continue to be available, or if available, will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Fund. Expiration or termination of available financing for leveraged positions can result in adverse effects to its access to liquidity and its ability to maintain leverage positions, and may cause the Fund to incur losses. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase funding costs, limit access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Fund. In addition, a decline in market value of the Fund's assets may have particular adverse consequences in instances where they have borrowed money based on the market value of those assets. A decrease in market value of those assets may result in the lender requiring the Fund to sell assets at a time when it may not be in the Fund's best interest to do so.

Note 5. Purchases and Sales of Securities

For the year ended October 31, 2012, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $265,230,277 and $191,867,466, respectively.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2012

Note 6. Fund Shares

The Fund has one class of shares of beneficial interest, par value $.001 per share; an unlimited number of shares are authorized. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest of the Fund were as follows:

	For the Year Ended October 31, 2012		For the Year Ended October 31, 2011
Shares issued through the trustees compensation plan		18,468		16,879
Shares issued through at-the-market offerings		16,058,741		—
Shares issued through reinvestment of dividends		274,683		269,290
Net increase		16,351,892		286,169

Note 7. Rights Offering

On August 25, 2010, the Board of Trustees of the Fund announced the approval of a transferable rights offering for the Fund. Rights offering costs of $62,923 were charged to capital during the year ended October 31, 2011.

Note 8. Shelf Offering

On December 8, 2011, the Fund filed a "shelf" registration statement with the SEC, which permitted the Fund to issue up to $50 million in shares of beneficial interest through one or more public offerings. On October 16, 2012, the Fund filed "shelf" registration statement with the SEC which permit the Fund to issue up to $90 million in shares of beneficial interest through one or more public offerings. Under the shelf registration statements, the Fund sold and may sell the Fund's shares of beneficial interest in one or more at-the market offering when market conditions are considered favorable. Such shares were and would only be issued when the premium to net asset value is greater than the costs associated with the transaction. Any proceeds raised are used for investment purposes. As of October 31, 2012, the Fund had offered and sold 16,058,741 shares of beneficial interest pursuant to sales agreements, resulting in proceeds (net of all fees and commissions) of $49,803,158.

Note 9. Federal Income Taxes

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

The tax characteristics of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, by the Fund were as follows:

Ordinary Income
2012		2011
$	26,226,410	$	23,874,498

The tax basis components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to losses deferred on wash sales, income from defaulted bonds, partnership basis adjustments and mark to market of forward contracts. At October 31, 2012, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis for the Funds were as follows:

Accumulated realized loss	$	(81,647,267	)
Unrealized depreciation		1,812,293
	$	(79,834,974	)

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2012

At October 31, 2012, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains as follows:

Expires October 31,
2013		2014		2016		2017		2018
$	1,583,878	$	8,944,708	$	24,144,149	$	40,767,194	$	6,207,338

During the tax year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund utilized $3,135,234 of the capital loss carryforwards.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. It is uncertain whether the Fund will be able to realize the full benefits of the capital loss carryforwards before they expire.

At October 31, 2012, the cost of investments (excluding foreign currency related transactions) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for income tax purposes were as follows:

Cost of Investments	$	400,896,425
Unrealized appreciation		17,425,157
Unrealized depreciation		(15,615,001	)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	$	1,810,156

At October 31, 2012, the Fund reclassified $1,196,334 to net investment loss and $2,948,419 to accumulated net realized loss from investments from paid in capital, to adjust for current period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency gain/(loss), partnership basis adjustments, defaulted bonds, distributions in excess of current earnings and expiration of capital loss carryforwards. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

Note 10. Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund (the "Fund"), at October 31, 2012, the results of its operations for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, agent banks, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased confirmations had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (unaudited)

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund (the "Fund") offers a Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the "Plan") to its common stockholders. The Plan offers common stockholders a prompt and simple way to reinvest net investment income dividends and capital gains and other periodic distributions in shares of the Fund's common stock. Computershare Trust Company, N.A. ("Computershare") acts as Plan Agent for stockholders in administering the Plan.

If your shares of common stock of the Fund are registered in your name, you will automatically participate in the Plan, unless you have indicated that you do not wish to participate and instead wish to receive dividends and capital gains distributions in cash. If you are a beneficial owner of the Fund having your shares registered in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, you must first make arrangements with the organization in whose name your shares are registered to have the shares transferred into your own name. Registered shareholders can join the Plan via the Internet by going to www.computershare.com, authenticating your online account, agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of online "Account Access" and completing an online Plan Enrollment Form. Alternatively, you can complete the Plan Enrollment Form and return it to Computershare at the address below.

By participating in the Plan, your dividends and distributions will be promptly paid to you in additional shares of common stock of the Fund. The number of shares to be issued to you will be determined by dividing the total amount of the distribution payable to you by the greater of (i) the net asset value per share ("NAV") of the Fund's common stock on the payment date, or (ii) 95% of the market price per share of the Fund's common stock on the payment date. If the NAV of the Fund's common stock is greater than the market price (plus estimated brokerage commissions) on the payment date, then Computershare (or a broker-dealer selected by Computershare) shall endeavor to apply the amount of such distribution on your shares to purchase shares of Fund common stock in the open market.

You should be aware that all net investment income dividends and capital gain distributions are taxable to you as ordinary income and capital gain, respectively, whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Fund's common stock.

The Plan also permits participants to purchase shares of the Fund through Computershare. You may invest $100 or more monthly, with a maximum of $100,000 in any annual period. Computershare will purchase shares for you on the open market on the 25th of each month or the next trading day if the 25th is not a trading day.

There is no service fee payable by Plan participants for dividend reinvestment. For voluntary cash payments, Plan participants must pay a service fee of $5.00 per transaction. Plan participants will also be charged a pro rata share of the brokerage commissions for all open market purchases ($0.03 per share as of October 2006). Participants will also be charged a service fee of $5.00 for each sale and brokerage commissions of $0.03 per share (as of October 2006).

You may terminate your participation in the Plan at any time by notifying Computershare or requesting a sale of your shares held in the Plan. Your withdrawal will be effective immediately if your notice is received by Computershare prior to any dividend or distribution record date; otherwise, such termination will be effective only with respect to any subsequent dividend or distribution. Your dividend participation option will remain the same unless you withdraw all of your whole and fractional Plan shares, in which case your participation in the Plan will be terminated and you will receive subsequent dividends and capital gains distributions in cash instead of shares.

CREDIT SUISSE CLOSED-END FUNDS

PROXY VOTING POLICY AND PROCEDURES

Introduction

Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC (“Credit Suisse”) is a fiduciary that owes each of its clients duties of care and loyalty with respect to proxy voting. The duty of care requires Credit Suisse to monitor corporate events and to vote proxies. To satisfy its duty of loyalty, Credit Suisse must cast proxy votes in the best interests of each of its clients.

The Credit Suisse Funds and Credit Suisse Closed-End Funds (the “Funds”), which have engaged Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC as their investment adviser, are of the belief that the proxy voting process is a means of addressing corporate governance issues and encouraging corporate actions both of which can enhance shareholder value.

Policy

The Proxy Voting Policy (the “Policy”) set forth below is designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interests of Credit Suisse’s clients. The Policy addresses particular issues and gives a general indication of how Credit Suisse will vote proxies. The Policy is not exhaustive and does not include all potential issues.

Proxy Voting Committee

The Proxy Voting Committee will consist of a member of the Portfolio Management Department, a member of the Legal and Compliance Department, and a member of the Operations Department (or their designees). The purpose of the Proxy Voting Committee is to administer the voting of all clients’ proxies in accordance with the Policy. The Proxy Voting Committee will review the Policy annually to ensure that it is designed to promote the best interests of Credit Suisse’s clients.

For the reasons disclosed below under “Conflicts,” the Proxy Voting Committee has engaged the services of an independent third party (initially, Risk Metrics Group’s ISS Governance Services Unit (“ISS”)) to assist in issue analysis and vote recommendation for proxy proposals. Proxy proposals addressed by the Policy will be voted in accordance with the Policy. Proxy proposals addressed by the Policy that require a case-by-case analysis will be voted in accordance with the vote recommendation of ISS. Proxy proposals not addressed by the Policy will also be voted in accordance with the vote recommendation of ISS. To the extent that the Proxy Voting Committee proposes to deviate from the Policy or the ISS vote recommendation, the Committee shall obtain client consent as described below.

Credit Suisse investment professionals may submit a written recommendation to the Proxy Voting Committee to vote in a manner inconsistent with the Policy and/or the recommendation of ISS. Such recommendation will set forth its basis and rationale. In addition, the investment professional must confirm in writing that he/she is not aware of any conflicts of interest concerning the proxy matter or provide a full and complete description of the conflict.

Conflicts

Credit Suisse is part of the asset management business of Credit Suisse one of the world’s leading banks. As part of a global, full service investment-bank, broker-dealer, and asset-management organization, Credit Suisse and its affiliates and personnel may have multiple advisory, transactional, financial, and other interests in securities, instruments, and companies that may be purchased or sold by Credit Suisse for its clients’ accounts. The interests of Credit Suisse and/or its affiliates and personnel may conflict with the interests of Credit Suisse’s clients in connection with any proxy issue. In addition, Credit Suisse may not be able to identify all of the conflicts of interest relating to any proxy matter.

Consent

In each and every instance in which the Proxy Voting Committee favors voting in a manner that is inconsistent with the Policy or the vote recommendation of ISS (including proxy proposals addressed and not addressed by the Policy), it shall disclose to the client conflicts of interest information and obtain client consent to vote. Where the client is a Fund, disclosure shall be made to any one director who is not an “interested person,” as that term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, of the Fund.

Recordkeeping

Credit Suisse is required to maintain in an easily accessible place for six years all records relating to proxy voting.

These records include the following:

· a copy of the Policy;

· a copy of each proxy statement received on behalf of Credit Suisse clients;

· a record of each vote cast on behalf of Credit Suisse clients;

· a copy of all documents created by Credit Suisse personnel that were material to making a decision on a vote or that memorializes the basis for the decision; and

· a copy of each written request by a client for information on how Credit Suisse voted proxies, as well as a copy of any written response.

Credit Suisse reserves the right to maintain certain required proxy records with ISS in accordance with all applicable regulations.

Disclosure

Credit Suisse will describe the Policy to each client. Upon request, Credit Suisse will provide any client with a copy of the Policy. Credit Suisse will also disclose to its clients how they can obtain information on their proxy votes.

ISS will capture data necessary for Funds to file Form N-PX on an annual basis concerning their proxy voting record in accordance with applicable law.

Procedures

The Proxy Voting Committee will administer the voting of all client proxies. Credit Suisse has engaged ISS as an independent third party proxy voting service to assist in the voting of client proxies. ISS will coordinate with each client’s custodian to ensure that proxy materials reviewed by the custodians are processed in a timely fashion. ISS will provide Credit Suisse with an analysis of proxy issues and a vote recommendation for proxy proposals. ISS will refer proxies to the Proxy Voting Committee for instructions when the application of the Policy is not clear. The Proxy Voting Committee will notify ISS of any changes to the Policy or deviating thereof.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

It is possible that conflicts of interest may arise in connection with the portfolio managers’ management of the Funds’ investments on the one hand and the investments of other accounts on the other. For example, the portfolio managers may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time, resources and investment opportunities among the Funds and other accounts they advise. In addition due to differences in the investment strategies or restrictions between the Funds and the other accounts, the portfolio managers may take action with respect to another account that differs from the action taken with respect to the Funds. Credit Suisse has adopted policies and procedures that are designed to minimize the effects of these conflicts.

If Credit Suisse believes that the purchase or sale of a security is in the best interest of more than one client, it may (but is not obligated to) aggregate the orders to be sold or purchased to seek favorable execution or lower brokerage commissions, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations. Credit Suisse may aggregate orders if all participating client accounts benefit equally (i.e., all receive an average price of the aggregated orders). In the event Credit Suisse aggregates an order for participating accounts, the method of allocation will generally be determined prior to the trade execution. Although no specific method of allocation of transactions (as well as expenses incurred in the transactions) is expected to be used, allocations will be designed to ensure that over time all clients receive fair treatment consistent with Credit Suisse’s fiduciary duty to its clients (including its duty to seek to obtain best execution of client trades). The accounts aggregated may include registered and unregistered investment companies managed by Credit Suisse’s affiliates and

accounts in which Credit Suisse’s officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates own interests. Credit Suisse may not be able to aggregate securities transactions for clients who direct the use of a particular broker-dealer, and the client also may not benefit from any improved execution or lower commissions that may be available for such transactions.

Compensation

Thomas J. Flannery and Wing Chan are compensated for their services by Credit Suisse. Their compensation consists of a fixed base salary and a discretionary bonus that is not tied by formula to the performance of any fund or account. The factors taken into account in determining each of their bonuses includes the Fund’s performance, assets held in the Fund and other accounts managed by each of them, business growth, team work, management, corporate citizenship, etc.

A portion of the bonus may be paid in phantom shares of Credit Suisse Group AG stock as deferred compensation. Phantom shares are shares representing an unsecured right to receive on a particular date a specified number of registered shares subject to certain terms and conditions. A portion of the bonus will receive the notional return of the fund(s) the portfolio manager manages and a portion of the bonus will receive the notional return of a basket of other Credit Suisse funds along the product line of the portfolio manager.

Like all employees of Credit Suisse, portfolio managers participate in Credit Suisse Group AG’s profit sharing and 401 (k) plans.
