Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Annual Investment Adviser's Report

October 31, 2013 (unaudited)

December 24, 2013

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this Annual Report covering the activities of the Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund (the "Fund"), for the annual period ended October 31, 2013.

Performance Summary

11/01/12 – 10/31/13

Fund & Benchmark	Performance
Total Return (based on NAV)¹		14.47	%
Total Return (based on market value)¹		10.80	%
BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index²		8.82	%

Market Review: A positive period for high yield strategies

The annual period ended October 31, 2013, was a positive one for high yield strategies, with the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index returning 8.82%. High yield spreads tightened 129 basis points versus the Treasury to end the period at +445 basis points. Additionally, the yield-to-worst ended the period at 5.66% — as compared to 6.52% at the end of last year.

From a quality point-of view, CCC-rated securities posted the strongest returns, 14.54%, followed by B-rated securities, which returned 9.05% for the year. In comparison, BB-rated bonds returned 6.35%. The Index was led by the food and drug retail, insurance and broadcasting sectors, while publishing and hotels were the lowest performers.

High yield default rates decreased over the year to end the period at 1.11%, according to JP Morgan. This compares to a rate of 1.77% at the end of October 2012 and is well below the historical average of 4.0%. The percentage of U.S. high yield securities that are "distressed," defined as those trading at spreads of more than 1,000 basis points over Treasuries, fell to 5.7% in October, compared to 10.7% a year ago.

New issue volume, as reported by JP Morgan, for the period ended October 31, 2013 was $407 billion — far exceeding last year's figure of $348 billion. Activity was greatest in the first and the third quarters of 2013, with $121 billion and $99 billion in issuance, respectively. High-yield mutual funds saw positive inflows in nine out of the last 12 months, for a record total inflow of approximately $38.5 billion during the period, as reported by Lipper FMI.

Strategic Review and Outlook: Cautiously optimistic going forward

For the annual period ended October 31, 2013, the Fund outperformed the Benchmark on both an NAV and market price basis.

Over the past few months, rhetoric concerning the U.S. Government shutdown and debt ceiling, as well as the Fed's tapering of the quantitative easing program, resulted in heightened market volatility. As a result, we remain invested in lower beta securities whose valuations are less exposed to market fluctuations and continue to emphasize B-rated bonds that exhibit the most compelling risk-return profiles. Our investment strategy continues to focus on shorter duration bonds, but we have also taken advantage of recent volatility to selectively add 8-10 year maturity bonds in the second and the third quarters 2013, when high yield markets were weaker. More recently, we have begun taking profits in some of these positions. Lastly, we are maintaining an underweight to the most levered and aggressive CC-rated components of the Index, as they typically exhibit the most volatility and we do not believe current valuations adequately compensate investors on a relative basis.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Annual Investment Adviser's Report (continued)

October 31, 2013 (unaudited)

Fundamentals have remained strong thus far in 2013, as balance sheet management remains a focus for high yield issuers. In turn, this has supported continued below-average default rates, which are expected to remain below average in the next year. High yield mutual fund flows have been mixed — and we expect them to remain so given potential headline risk and Fed policy uncertainty. Against this backdrop, we remain cautious, but will continue to find pockets of opportunity within the high yield asset class.


	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.

The Fund is non-diversified, which means it may invest a greater proportion of its assets in securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund and may therefore be subject to greater volatility.

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, 2013; 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 U.S. 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, at the net asset value per share. 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, 2013

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

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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. The valuations for fixed income securities (which may include, but are not limited to, corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities) and certain derivative instruments are typically the prices supplied by independent third party pricing services, which may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. Short-term fixed income securities that will mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost unless it is determined that using this method would not reflect an investment's fair value. Structured note agreements are valued in accordance with a dealer-supplied valuation based on changes in the value of the underlying index. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. The Fund may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Trustees to fair value certain securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. If independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices for a portfolio investment, or if the prices supplied are deemed by the investment adviser to be unreliable, the market price may be determined by the investment adviser using quotations from one or more broker/dealers or at the transaction price if the security has recently been purchased and no value has yet been obtained from a pricing service or pricing broker. When reliable prices are not readily available, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Fund calculates its net asset value, the Fund values these securities as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Fund uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach and/or income approach, depending on the type of security and the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to discount estimated future cash flows to present value.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2013

GAAP established a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are 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 methodologies used to value 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, 2013 in valuing the Fund's assets and liabilities carried at fair 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, 2013 in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value. Transfers in or out of Level 3 represent the ending value of any security or instrument where a change in the level has occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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, 2013, there were no significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2, but there was $5,755 transferred in from Level 2 to

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2013

Level 3, due to lack of observable market data bcause of decrease in market activity. All transfers are assumed to occur at the end of the reporting period.

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. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund's derivatives did not qualify for hedge accounting as they are held at fair value.

Currency Contracts				Net realized loss from foreign currency transactions				$	(483,876	)		Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from foreign currency translations				$	(470,258	)

The notional amount of forward foreign currency contracts at year ended October 31, 2013 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 8.7% 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/EXPENSE — Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income/expense is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Dividends income/expense is 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.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2013

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

H) 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.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2013

I) 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, 2013, 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	Counterparty	Value on Settlement Date			Current Value			Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)
EUR	375,000	USD	513,112	01/15/14	Morgan Stanley	$	(513,112	)	$	509,865		$	(3,247	)

												$	(173,657	)

Currency Abbreviations:

EUR = Euro

GBP = British Pound

USD = United States Dollar

J) 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. As of October 31, 2013, the Fund had investment securities on loan with a fair value of $10,013,212 and a related liability of $10,203,465 for collateral received on securities loaned, both of which are presented gross on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The carrying value of the collateral for securities loaned approximates fair value which would have been considered level 2 under the fair value hierarchy if the collateral for securities loaned were carried at fair value.

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, 2013, total earnings from the Fund's investment in cash collateral received in connection with securities lending arrangements was $89,788, of which $0 was rebated to borrowers (brokers). The Fund retained $76,349 in income from the cash collateral investment, and SSB, as lending agent, was paid $13,439. Securities lending income is accrued as earned.

K) 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.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2013

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.

L) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS — In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-1, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in the ASU enhance disclosures about offsetting of financial assets and liabilities to enable investors to understand the effect of these arrangements on a fund's financial position. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Fund believes the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

M) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS — In preparing the financial statements as of October 31, 2013, 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, 2013, investment advisory fees earned and voluntarily waived were $3,741,216 and $424,999, respectively. 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, 2013, administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) with respect to the Fund were $78,272.

The Independent Trustees receive fifty percent (50%) of their annual retainer in the form of shares. During the years ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2013, 18,468 shares and 18,006 shares were issued through the Trustees' compensation plan, respectively. 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, 2013, Merrill was paid $65,807 for its services by the Fund. This amount was included in the printing fees presented on the Statement of Operations.

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 6, 2013, 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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2013

constituting leverage); and c) the Borrowing Base as defined in the SSB Agreement. At October 31, 2013, the Fund had loans outstanding under the Agreement of $142,000,000. During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund had borrowings under the Agreement as follows:

Average Daily Loan Balance				Weighted Average Interest Rate %				Maximum Daily Loan Outstanding
$	119,082,192				1.062	%		$	142,000,000

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 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 leveraged 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 the Fund has 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, 2013, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $339,316,892 and $293,908,005, respectively.

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, 2013		For the Year Ended October 31, 2012
Shares issued through the Trustees compensation plan		18,006		18,468
Shares issued through at-the-market offerings		5,895,016		16,058,741
Shares issued through reinvestment of dividends		251,470		274,683
Net increase		6,164,492		16,351,892

Note 7. Shelf Offering

On July 8, 2013, the Fund's "shelf" registration was declared effective by the SEC. The shelf registration statement enables the Fund to issue up to 15,508,252 shares of common stocks through one or more public offerings. Shares may be offered at prices and terms to be set forth in one or more supplements to the Fund's prospectus included in the shelf registration statement. On July 16, 2013, the Fund filed a prospectus supplement relating to an at-the-market offering of the Fund's shares of common stock. Any proceeds raised through such offering will be used for investment purposes. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest issued through at-the-market offerings, resulting in proceeds (net of all fees, commissions and offering costs) of the Fund were as follows:

	For the Year Ended October 31, 2013		For the Year Ended October 31, 2012
Shares issued through at-the-market offerings		5,895,016		16,058,741
Proceeds (net of all fees, commissions and offering costs)	$	19,054,896	$	49,803,158

Note 8. 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, 2013 and 2012, respectively, by the Fund were as follows:

Ordinary Income				Return of Capital Gain
2013		2012		2013		2012
$	29,385,686	$	26,226,410	$	1,113,850		—

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 differing treatments of wash sales, income from defaulted bonds and marked to market of forward contracts. At October 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Accumulated realized loss	$	(80,063,389	)
Unrealized appreciation		11,122,361
	$	(68,941,028	)

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2013

At October 31, 2013, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains as follows:

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

During the tax year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund utilized $721,809 of the capital loss carryforwards and $862,069 of the expired capital loss carryforward.

At October 31, 2013, the cost of investments (excluding foreign currency related transactions) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for income tax purposes were as follows:

Cost of Investments	$	446,538,585
Unrealized appreciation		18,831,078
Unrealized depreciation		(7,718,457	)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	$	11,112,621

At October 31, 2013, the Fund reclassified $1,880,561 from net investment loss and $740,205 from accumulated net realized loss from investments to 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, return of capital distribution and expiration of capital loss carryforwards. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

Note 9. 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors 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, of changes in net assets and of cash flows 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, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, its cash flows for the year then ended and the financial highlights for each of ten years in the period then ended, 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 audit 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, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers, 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 own 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.

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 wealth-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.

*As of October 31, 2013, Mr. Flannery manages 27 accounts which have total assets under management of $10,285 million, and which have additional fees based on the performance of the accounts.

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.
