Annual Investment Adviser’s Report

October 31, 2014 (unaudited)

December 22, 2014

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this Annual Report covering the activities of the Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund, Inc. for the 12-months ended October 31, 2014.

Performance Summary

11/01/13 – 10/31/14


Fund & Benchmark	Performance
Total Return (based on NAV)¹		6.91	%
Total Return (based on market value)¹		8.33	%
BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index²		5.85	%

Market Review: A positive period for high yield assets

The 12-months ended October 31, 2014, was a positive one for the high yield asset class. The BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index (the “Index”), returned 5.85% for the period. The first half of the year was marked by positive technicals, as mutual funds reported positive inflows into the asset class. However, appetite for risk products wavered in the late summer and into the fall.

High yield spreads were largely unchanged, narrowing by 1 basis point, while the yield-to-worst ended the period at 5.86% (versus 5.66% a year ago).

Default activity has remained low for the high yield universe with the par-weighted default rate, as reported by JP Morgan, reaching 1.86% in October. Though default rates are below historical averages, there was a notable default for Energy Futures (“TXU”), a Texas based utility company during 2014. Excluding TXU, the default rate is 0.53%.

The new issue market started the period with elevated volume, but leveled off with new issuance for the past few months trending below the pace in the first half of the year.

Strategic Review and Outlook: Expecting a continuing positive environment

For the 12-months ended October 31, 2014, the Fund outperformed the Index on both a market price and NAV basis. Allocations to CCC-rated investments and loans contributed positively to performance. Additionally, security selection in the oil refining, metals/mining and wireless telecommunication sectors also added to returns. In contrast, weightings in apparel/textiles and gas distribution detracted from performance.

The fundamental backdrop continues to be constructive and default rate expectations for the high yield market continue to remain below historical averages. However, sentiment has weakened over the past few months and mutual fund flows have fluctuated. Trading among bonds held by the Fund has focused on areas within the high yield market where the portfolio manager perceives relative value. Depending on the market conditions, this has varied between compelling secondary opportunities and the new issues coming with pricing concessions. As we head into the remainder of the year and into 2015, we look to take advantage of market dislocations but remain selective, adding in names that offer compelling risk-return characteristics.

The market has enjoyed a long period of low volatility coupled with strong returns over the past few years and there has been little dispersion among sectors. With an increase in market volatility in the past few months and a decline in oil prices, we expect security selection to be an increasingly important contributor to returns in the future.

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, 2014; 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 $0.291 per share.

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 may waive 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.

The annual gross and net expense ratios are 1.95% and 1.82%, respectively.

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, 2014

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 principal investment objective is to seek high current income. The Fund also will seek capital appreciation as a secondary objective, to the extent consistent with its objective of seeking high current income.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its 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 may be valued at amortized cost. 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. Forward contracts are valued at the London closing spot rates and the London closing forward point rates on a daily basis. The currency forward contract pricing model derives the differential in point rates to the expiration date of the forward and calculates its present value. 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 (the “Board”) 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 and established by the Fund’s Board.

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

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2014

securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to discount estimated future cash flows to present value.

GAAP established a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at each 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, 2014 in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value:


	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Other financial instruments include unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts.

The following is a reconciliation of investments as of October 31, 2014 in which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining value. Transfers in or out of Level 3 represent the end of the period value of any security or instrument where a change in the level has occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.

Each fair value determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, including both observable and unobservable inputs. Observable and unobservable inputs the Adviser considers may include (i) the existence of any contractual restrictions on the disposition of securities; (ii) information obtained from the company, which may include an analysis of the company’s financial statements, the company’s products or intended markets or the company’s technologies; (iii) the price of the same or similar security negotiated at arm’s length in an issuer’s completed subsequent round of financing; (iv) the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; or (v) a probability and time value adjusted analysis of contractual term. Where available and appropriate, multiple valuation methodologies are applied to confirm fair value. Significant unobservable inputs identified by the Adviser are often used in the fair value determination. A significant change in any of these inputs may result in a significant change in the fair value measurement. Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, such estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and differences could be material. Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different from the valuations used at the date of these financial statements.

The Fund follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amendments to authoritative guidance which requires 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, 2014 there were no significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2, but there were $42,133 transferred out from Level 2 to Level 3, due to lack of observable market data because 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 a 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, 2014, the Fund’s derivatives did not qualify for hedge accounting as they are held at fair value.

Statement of Operations includes both forward currency contracts and foreign currency transactions/translations.

The notional amount of forward foreign currency contracts at the year ended October 31, 2014 is reflected in the Schedule of Investments. For the year ended October 31, 2014, the Fund had an average monthly value at net basis of $32,747,588 in forward foreign currency contracts.

The Fund is a party to International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”) with certain counterparties that govern over-the-counter derivative (including Total Return, Credit Default and Interest Rate Swaps) and foreign exchange contracts entered into by the Fund. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. Termination events applicable to the Fund may occur upon a decline in the Fund’s net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time.

The following table presents by counterparty the Fund’s derivative assets net of related collateral held by the Fund at October 31, 2014:


Counterparty	Gross Amounts of Assets Presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities^(a)		Financial Instruments and Derivatives Available for Offset		Non-Cash Collateral Received		Cash Collateral Received		Net Amount of Derivative Assets
Morgan Stanley	$	129,988	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	129,988

^(a)

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are included.

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.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2014

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. Dividend 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.

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, 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

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2014

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.

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. The Fund’s open forward foreign currency contracts at October 31, 2014 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

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, 2014, the Fund had investment securities on loan with a fair value of $7,859,555 and a related liability of $8,103,793 for collateral received on securities loaned, both of which are presented gross on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The collateral for securities loaned is valued consistently to the other investments held by the Fund and is included in level 2. For the year ended October 31, 2014, the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned.

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, 2014, total earnings from the Fund’s investment in cash collateral received in connection with securities lending arrangements was $81,877, of which $0 was rebated from borrowers (brokers). The Fund retained $69,593 in income from the cash collateral investment, and SSB, as lending agent, was paid $12,284. 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.

In the normal course of business the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). Similar to credit risk, the Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. The

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2014

potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 June 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-08, Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements. The ASU modifies the criteria used in defining an investment company under GAAP and also sets forth certain measurement and disclosure requirements. Under the ASU, an entity that is registered under the 1940 Act automatically qualifies as an investment company. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In June 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860), Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The ASU changes the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements related to repurchase agreements, securities lending, repurchase-to-maturity and similar transactions. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.

M) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS — In preparing the financial statements as of October 31, 2014, 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, 2014, investment advisory fees earned and voluntarily waived were $3,993,332 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, 2014, administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) with respect to the Fund were $75,755.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

October 31, 2014

The Independent Trustees receive fifty percent (50%) of their annual retainer in the form of shares. During the year ended October 31, 2014 and the year ended October 31, 2013, 20,190 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”), formerly an affiliate of Credit Suisse, has been engaged by the Fund to provide certain financial printing services. For the year ended October 31, 2014, Merrill was paid $16,508 for its services by the Fund. This amount was included in the printing fees presented on the Statement of Operations. Effective July 23, 2014, Merrill was no longer considered an affiliate.

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 lesser 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. Under the terms of the SSB Agreement, the Fund pays a commitment on the unused amount. In addition, the Fund pays interest on borrowings at LIBOR plus a spread. At October 31, 2014, the Fund had loans outstanding under the Agreement of $144,000,000. During the year ended October 31, 2014, the Fund had borrowings under the Agreement as follows:


Average Daily Loan Balance	Weighted Average Interest Rate %			Maximum Daily Loan Outstanding		Interest Paid
$141,578,082		1.300	%	$	148,000,000	$	1,440,062

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 leverage positions, and may cause the Fund to incur losses. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase

October 31, 2014

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, 2014, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $263,505,153 and $258,670,100, respectively.

Note 6. Fund Shares

The Fund offers a Dividend Reimbursement Plan (the “Plan”) to its common stockholders. By participating in the Plan, dividends and distributions will be promptly paid to stockholders in additional shares of common stock of the Fund. The number of shares to be issued will be determined by dividing the total amount of the distribution payable 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 to purchase shares of Fund common stock in the open market.

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, 2014		For the Year Ended October 31, 2013
Shares issued through the Trustees compensation plan		20,190		18,006
Shares issued through at-the-market offerings		1,527,599		5,895,016
Shares issued through reinvestment of dividends		226,932		251,470

Net increase		1,774,721		6,164,492

Note 7. Shelf Offering

The Fund has an effective “shelf” registration statement. The shelf registration statement enables the Fund to issue up to 93,778,401 in proceeds 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 April 14, 2014, 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 common stock in at-the-market offerings, resulting in proceeds (net of commissions) of the Fund were as follows:


	For the Year Ended October 31, 2014		For the Year Ended October 31, 2013
Shares issued through at-the-market offerings		1,527,599		5,895,016
Proceeds (net of commissions)	$	4,816,194	$	19,054,896

Note 8. Federal Income Taxes

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

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2014

The tax characteristics of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, by the Fund were as follows:


Ordinary Income			Return of Capital Gain
2014	2013		2014		2013
$28,556,466	$	29,385,686	$	—	$	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, partnership basis adjustments, income from defaulted bonds and marked to market of forward contracts. At October 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:


Accumulated realized loss	$	(71,118,681	)
Unrealized appreciation		486,955

	$	(70,631,726	)

At October 31, 2014, the Fund had short-term capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains as follows:


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

During the tax year ended October 31, 2014, the Fund utilized $4,628,132 of the capital loss carryforward. The fund also used $4,316,576 of the expired capital loss carryforward.

At October 31, 2014, the cost of investments (excluding foreign currency related transactions) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for income tax purposes were as follows:


Cost of Investments	$	444,602,946

Unrealized appreciation	$	9,319,977
Unrealized depreciation		(8,820,273	)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	$	499,704

At October 31, 2014, the Fund reclassified $1,850,711 from accumulated net investment loss and $4,042,560 from accumulated net realized loss 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, distribution in excess to current earnings, partnership adjustments, adjustments to prior period accumulated balances 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.

Note 10. Other Matters

On May 19, 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice (the “Department of Justice”) filed a one-count criminal information (the “Information”) in the District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia charging Credit Suisse AG (“CSAG”) with conspiracy to commit tax fraud related to accounts CSAG established for cross-border clients. The Department of Justice and CSAG entered into a plea agreement (the “Plea Agreement”) settling the action pursuant to which CSAG pleaded guilty to the charge set out in the Information.

The Plea Agreement requires CSAG to pay over $1.8 billion to the U.S. government, including the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The Plea Agreement also requires CSAG to lawfully undertake certain remedial actions to address the conduct described in the Plea Agreement.

CSAG has entered into other settlements relating to the conduct set out in the Plea Agreement. CSAG has entered into a Consent Order with the Federal Reserve Board (the “Federal Reserve”) to resolve certain findings by the Federal Reserve, including that the activities of CSAG regarding opening of foreign accounts for U.S. taxpayers, provision of investment services to U.S. clients, and operation of CSAG’s New York representative office prior to 2009 lacked adequate enterprise-wide risk management and compliance policies and procedures sufficient to ensure that all of its activities comply with U.S. laws and regulations. In addition, CSAG has entered into a Consent Order with the New York State Department of Financial Services (the “DFS”) to resolve the DFS’s investigation into the conduct described in the Plea Agreement. The settlement with the Federal Reserve requires CSAG to pay $100 million to the Federal Reserve, and the settlement with the DFS requires CSAG to pay $715 million to the DFS.

These settlements follow a settlement by Credit Suisse Group AG (“CS Group”), the parent company of CSAG, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on February 21, 2014 to resolve an investigation by the Commission into solicitation and provision of broker-dealer and investment advisory services to certain U.S. cross-border clients by CS Group while not registered with the Commission as a broker-dealer or investment adviser. As part of the settlement, CS Group retained an independent consultant to evaluate its policies and procedures and examine its broker-dealer and investment adviser activities to fully verify that the business that was the subject of the Commission investigation has been completely exited. CS Group also agreed to pay $196,511,014, which includes $82,170,990 in disgorgement, $64,340,024 in interest and a $50,000,000 penalty.

CSAG is the indirect parent company of Credit Suisse and CSSU. Neither Credit Suisse, CSSU nor the Fund was named in the Plea Agreement (as defined below) or other settlements relating to the conduct set out in the Plea Agreement. The conduct set out in the Plea Agreement did not involve the Fund, Credit Suisse or CSSU with respect to its investment adviser and distribution activities relating to the Fund.

Credit Suisse, CSSU and certain of their affiliates have received a permanent exemptive order from the Commission to permit them to continue serving as investment advisers and principal underwriters for U.S.-registered investment companies, such as the Fund. Due to a provision in the law governing the operation of U.S.-registered investment companies, they would otherwise have become ineligible to perform these activities as a result of the plea in the Plea Agreement. The permanent exemptive order permits Credit Suisse and CSSU to continue to provide services to the Fund, so long as, among other things, no current or former employee of CSAG or any affiliate of CSAG who previously has been or who subsequently may be identified by CSAG or any U.S. or non-U.S. regulatory or enforcement agencies as having been responsible for the conduct described in the Plea Agreement will be employed by Credit Suisse and certain of its affiliates. Credit Suisse and CSSU have informed the Fund that, Credit Suisse and CSSU believe the Settlements will not have any material impact on the Fund or on the ability of Credit Suisse or CSSU to perform services for the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and the 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, 2014, 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 and the financial highlights for each of the five 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, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian 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 client’s 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 a disinterested member of the Portfolio Management Department, a member of the Legal and Compliance Department, a member of the Operations Department (or their designees), and a member of Fund Administration. 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.

In the event a Portfolio Manager (“PM”) desires to deviate from the stated voting parameters outlined in the Policy, the PM is required to submit a memo detailing the request and rationale for the deviation to the Chair of the Proxy Voting Committee. The Chair of the Proxy Voting Committee (“Committee”) will convene a meeting where the PM will present their recommendation. In the event an in person or telephonic meeting cannot be organized, the Chair of the Committee will circulate the PM’s request for an exception to the Proxy Voting Committee for consideration.

Should such Policy exception be approved by the Proxy Voting Committee, the Committee will forward the instructions to ISS for processing and will minute the meeting.

Conflicts

Credit Suisse is the 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.

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.
